Seems that Note 4 is not as good as iPhone 6

The thread title is total nonsense, and I'm no iPhone/iOS hater. The missing functionality that iOS lacks leaves me not to care about benchmarks. Both phones have instantaneous like quickness and are smooth.
You're probably right but please link me to those benchmarks if you're not spouting nonsense.
A phone's benchmarks don't sway me to any phone. However, for this discussion, comparing the 6+ and the Note 4 isn't apples to apples (no pun intended). The Note 4 has a lot higher resolution than the 6+. That being said, I'll bet that both are awesome phones.
Benchmarks do not matter. No matter what people say, people will always be more productive and have more fun using the note 4 than the iPhone 6. Think about it, note 4 users will have virtual reality (iphone could never), multitasking, multiple windows, more storage options, and the s pen. Can I say more, sure can with the note 4 but I don't feel like going through all of it. 
oh don't forget the wide angle selfie camera and the use of the heart rate sensor to take pics...........what will iphone users be doing,I guess they will be taking pictures with there so called state of the art 8 mp camera hilarious.....

First thing I will do with my Note 4 is open 16 multitasking windows at once.
IPhone plus is a grest phone but I would soon run out of things to do on it. Played with one in the Apple Store but soon ran out of things to look for.
Yup check my post above yours......

Can't wait to use the added multitasking features even something as simple as copying an image and dragging it to an email.
This was my initial question on looking at the benchmarks. Even the ip6+ would not be a valid comparison due to it still having less pixels to push than the N4, but it would have been closer.
Anyhoo do we really care about benchmarks? It's like the entire 64bit crap that Apple hangs their hat on, who cares? Sure in the future it *may* be important, but hey look they have gone through an entire phone cycle and what 64 bit apps are out there and what advantage/improvement do they have over their 32bit counterparts? If my phone runs smoothly and runs all the apps I throw at it then why do I care about benchmarks again?
I'd also like to see the iPhone 6 benchmarks when it's multitasking and has multiple windows open....oh wait it can't do that. Woohoo more processing power for less function.

Same cpu/gpu pushing a million more pixels. Ummm, no. Wishful thinking and unicorn dust doesn't make it so.
The problem with you two is that you could have very easily just opened the damn link and seen for yourselves, but obviously you couldn't be bothered.
I don't have to explain a thing to either of you. Open the link, scroll to the bottom, and add iPhone 6 Plus yourselves. Stop expecting others to wipe your bottoms for you.

See you next year when the GS6 beats the iPhone 6 in some benchmark somewhere and you're all giddy about it.
GS series does nothing for me, no thanks. I'd also rather not join the sad people who take hardware specs so seriously especially in light of the lack of real world use.
No, the real problem is the 'benchmark' at the bottom of that link is useless. It shows 2 minor 'onscreen' scores and nothing else. The other benchmarks on the page (with all the top phones, minus the 6+) actually gives us more relevant data, but again, there is no 6+ info. Likely because of the much lower scores.
I'm not a fan of manipulated scores or leaving things to be guessed. Just give all the scores and let the results speak for themselves.
No, the real problem is that you get to nitpick which benchmarks you want to believe. The only benchmarks on the site I could find that included the 6/6 Plus say that the Plus performed better in those particular tests. PhoneArena does not fabricate benchmarks and have a much higher degree of credibility than you do. Sorry.

Such immaturity. Wow. Do you comprehend the fact that 8MP is still good? That the One M8 uses 4MP and still looks good?
Um did u guts not look at the benchmarks I posted? The note 4 in 32bit mode hit 4000 in geekbench.
It is the highest score on any mobile device ever benched on the freaking benchmark
Just wait for 64bit registers added in android l to really compare it to the 6 plus and the freaking note 4 exynos version also kept right up with the k1 tablet that was only running 1080p vs 2k on the note 4.
The sunspider score in the op is also outdated and I personally ran the bench and snapped that picture of the snapdragon version note 4 and got under 400 sunspider score.

Just tell me why that there so few benchmark test for ios. We always see a long list of benchmark tests for android.
Maybe apple only allow those benchmark apps that are favorable to ios into the appstore.
It is just not a level playing field when you have big brother selectively allowing only what they want you to see.
Yeah, no. If that actually happened, these companies would be raising quite a stink.
Nice try.
Doubt it. I'm more of a "on-screen things happening" benchmarks type of guy. Or those benchmarks that time how long it takes for things to happen, such as sunspider. Those tend to simulate real-world much better.
Galaxy alpha just broke world record antutu bench onscreen with its exynos octa core running its 720p displays
Broke 50k!now go Google how pathetic the iphones did against it lol
----------
Wait a min sunspider is now an onscreen bench? Its a freaking java script bench to see how optimized a web browser is.
Lol you just lost all credibility bringing sunspider as a measure of real world usage.
PS the note is just as fast in sunspider also and in the 300s just like the iPhone.
Sunspider measures time taken to perform common javascript actions...things you'll find in many sites. It does heavily reflect on real-world performance. But what do I know, I'm just a lowly computer science major.

Given that this phone has 1/4 the CPU cores and GPU cores...I've always kind of been a fan of the Exynos chips but this is kind of making me rather ashamed of it.
But uh yeah I'm not going to argue with you if you're basing your entire post on ad hominem.
I replied to you with my opinion and the best you can come up with is personal attacks. No thanks.
