2014 was a big year for Apple and Google, Both Firms released Their First phablets, the iPhone and the Nexus 6 Plus 6.
Even more importantly, Unlike past years When shied away from Google directly competing with Apple in the top-end space, the firm chose to go head-to-head with its competitor and priced the Nexus 6 in the post- £ 500 bracket.
The price led many potential buyers phablet to wonder Which plus-sized handset is the best for Them, and ignited a fresh grudge match between Apple and Google.
Design and build
Visually the iPhone 6 Plus lives up to its name and looks like a blown up version of its smaller sibling, the iPhone 6.
This is no bad thing. Apple’s 2014 smartphone design is one of the best we’ve seen in recent years.
Featuring a fully metal chassis, with a flat back and round corners and sides, the iPhone 6 Plus is one of the most luxurious feeling smartphones available.
The Nexus 6, Which features a polycarbonate back que into metal sides clips, premium feels slightly less and not quite as solidly built. 
We Also found the Nexus 6′s Increased 159x83x10mm measurements and 184g weight made it slightly unwieldy Compared with the 158x78x7.1mm, 172g iPhone 6 Plus.
That Said, with Prolonged use we soon found que the Nexus 6′s Increased size and weight was balanced by its more intelligent button placement.
The Nexus 6 places the power and volume buttons on the bottom side of the phone’s right-hand side, while the iPhone 6 separates the controls, Placing the power button on the top right side and volume on the top left side .
The placement means que the iPhone 6 Plus was slightly more cumbersome to use When doing basic things like waking the phone up or adjusting the volume of music When using it one handed or on the move.
But this is not too big an issue neither the device is small enough for any regular sized user to interact sensibly with one-handed
Winner:. iPhone 6 Plus
Display
Screen technology is an area Increasingly competitive in the smartphone arena. Originally Apple had a big lead thanks to the Retina display technology.
However, in recent years Apple has Been Gradually losing its edge here the Competitors created Their Own equally, if not more, impressive display technologies.
As a result, we expected que Comparing the iPhone 6 Plus 5.5in 1920×1080, 401ppi Retina HD display with the Nexus 6 6in, 1440×2560, 493ppi quad HD display was going to be tricky.
Both had on paper displays Their strengths and Weaknesses. Mainly this is due to the Nexus 6′s use of Amoled and the iPhone 6′s use of IPS technologies.
Amoled screen Improves quality by letting displays produce deeper blacks and richer. It does this by electrically charging each pixel to generate colors, meaning que all the screen has to stop the charging Them is to create black. 
By comparison, IPS displays create more consistent and realistic colors by Organising liquid crystals on a fixed plate that’s charged at a consistent rate.
We found que the iPhone 6 Plus display had a definite edge on the Nexus 6. This is largely because, like many Amoled screens, the Nexus 6 display is slightly oversaturated.
The Nexus 6 has the tendency to slightly distort colors, whites Particularly, When viewed from the side and can push reds far more than it shouldnt. This is not a problem for general purposes, but it’s Particularly noticeable When viewing photos or images.
The iPhone 6 Plus Also had higher brightness levels and a more reactive Auto setting que was noticeably more efficient in adjusting the screen settings When moving between different lighting conditions
Winner:. The iPhone 6 Plus
