Samsung's Note 4 and Apple's iPhone 6 Plus are two great phone options that are big on specs and size. From the screen technologies used to the processor, from storage options to design and connectivity, both receive major updates to delight fans and supporters and to bring the battle for superiority to another level.

This also holds true for the camera features of the Samsung Note 4 and the Apple iPhone 6 Plus. Where Apple boasts of improved additions, Samsung fares well with innovative features.

At a glance, the Samsung Note 4 comes with a 16 Mp rear camera, supplied with auto focus and Smart OIS (optical image stabilization). HDR mode is also available with added live preview capability. For the front camera, an improved addition comes in the form of the Wide Selfie mode which can capture more of the environment around the subject. What it retains is the 4K video.

The default pre-installed modes is limited in just a few number, but users can modify it and add more by downloading from the Internet or selecting from the manage modes section. For some, this could be a neat trick and a way of giving users more control of their preferred camera features, but others may find it a hassle.

If the size of the Samsung phone is a major appeal, it proves to be a drawback as far as taking pictures is concerned. It can get clumsy especially when taking with one hand and there's no dedicated camera button, too.

The Apple phablet also comes with better iSight camera features than the previous versions. There is the impressive optical image stabilization, the continuous autofocus when shooting video as well as the 240fps slo-mo video and 120fps. Burst mode has been added both to the front and rear camera.

It boasts of optical image stabilisation that even the iPhone 6 lacks. OIS helps capture more vivid photos by counteracting camera shake, while the dual LED flashes make it possible to capture sharp images in low-lit conditions.

Samsung's Note 4 also has OIS and dual LED flashes, but Apple's iPhone 6 Plus "consistently delivers sharper, punchier pictures with a better tonal range." Thanks to it's slightly more impressive HDR capability.

Overall, both are capable of taking detailed photos from up close or afar.
