Huawei Mate S vs Apple iPhone 6 Plus vs Samsung Galaxy Note5: specs comparison

The Huawei Mate S made quite the stir with its official appearance at IFA 2015: it's the first true flagship by Chinese company Huawei - so far, the company has always stayed competitive in terms of price, offering its devices at a slightly more affordable price than the rest, but with the Mate S it is stepping firmly in the territory of iPhones and Galaxies.

The Mate S features a 5.5-inch 1080p display and the most potent HiSilicon Kirin 935 system chip that uses 8 Cortex A53e cores clocked to as much as 2GHz, all of that spiced up with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage.

Specs don't lie

The big highlight here, however, seem to be the stylish aluminum construction, the instant unlocking functionality of the neatly positioned on the back fingerprint scanner that also doubles as an Android navigation key, and - last but not least - the Force Touch functionality that is a first on a smartphone.

With all this in mind, you might still wonder about a pretty basic question: how does the Mate S compare against the two big names in the phablet space - the iPhone 6 Plus and Galaxy Note5 - when it comes to specs? We answer that question in the table right below, read on.
