Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs Google Nexus 6

If you're shopping for a huge smartphone this holiday season, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Google Nexus 6
are two of your best options.

You could easily argue that the Galaxy Note 4 is the best all-around smartphone of 2014. It's big without feeling ridiculously oversized, has a higher-end build than we're used to seeing from Samsung, and a responsive stylus that handles like pen on paper. Its long battery life, good camera and ultra-sharp Quad HD display only sweeten the pot.

The Nexus 6 is also an outstanding phone, but its size is going to make it a little more polarizing. Its 6-in screen is 9 percent bigger than the Note's already huge display. It doesn't use a stylus like the Note does, but it too has a mesmerizing Quad HD screen and a pretty premium-feeling build.

While the Note is like a modern evolution of the PDA, the Nexus is more like a mini-tablet that you can squeeze into your pocket (well, as long as you aren't wearing skinny jeans).
