It's a fact that for the past several years, Samsung has been producing its flagship phones in multiple variants – one powered by its own Exynos SoC and another featuring a chip from a different supplier, usually Qualcomm. This is also the case with the company's top phablet, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which comes with either a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 or an octa-core Exynos 7 system-on-chip, depending on the market. Carriers in the U.S., for example, are offering the Snapdragon variant, while the Exynos model is marketed in parts of Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
Currently being rolled out to units in Europe, the update weighs in at around 350MB, and bumps the firmware version to XXS1DPJ3.
VRFocus delivers another entry in its weekly 'VR vs.' series, this time looking at the Gear VR for the Galaxy Note 4 and discussing its longevity.
"Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4 is a champion at battery life, alongside last year’s Sony Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact. The Galaxy Note 4 battery life averages about two days, which while..."
Note 4 has a 3220Mah compared to that of the note 5 which is 3000Mah. I'd probably say with the updates coming up the note 4 will still be on top, but not by much.
This is the first article I have seen that reported better battery life for the Note 4. Benchmark tests show Note 5 by about 30 minutes.

I think the update on the Note 4 and 5 for the Marshmallow will greatly improve thebattery life
No mention that the Note 4 still has removable batter and microsd card slot while the Note 5 does not? That is the bigger deal IMO...
@sitdown yeap sure is overblown, I mean who would want to upgrade their memory with a sd card? Or change their battery when their battery gets old... So overblown right... People like you that love closed systems that give their consumers no freedom or option to make it better, disgust me.
@gunnerforlife
People who make rants off of poor assumptions disgust me. If people need to "upgrade" there memory or power up there are alternatives. Freedom is being able to go to any company I desire to get what I needed. LG still offers both options, or one could just acquire any of the previous notes. Whether you like it or not, it's overblown because there are still viable alternatives. Last I checked, nobody forcing you to buy into this "closed system". Now be disgusted with your self for trying to embed me in your closed system.
Only because your parents can afford to upgrade your precious trust fund phablet with an objectively worse model.
Hell even the Galaxy S4 Neo is better than this garbage excuse for an upgrade.
Yep that's why I got a note 4 instead. It won't be long until devs port the good apps that come with the note5 anyway.
Exynos 7 Octa is no match for Snapdragon.
