My son had his Note 5 here and I compared the weight. The 6s Plus weighs .74 oz. more, but I couldn't really tell a lot of difference. Not enough to call the 6s Plus a brick. It's only ? of an ounce difference.

Note 4 to 6S Plus feels a lot heavier. I am holding both in my hand and I can tell the difference. However, when not holding the Note 4 I became accustomed to the 6S so its not bad at all.

Coming from a Note 4 I would have to say the battery life was a very pleasant surprise. I can go two days on one charge compared to my Notes 3/4 of a day. Also this being my first ever experience with iOS I am very surprised and happy with how easy it was to adapt. I only miss the ability to customize things with my favorite launcher Nova Prime and adding my own ringtones without hooking up to the computer.

I agree 100%! The battery from Note 4 to the 6S Plus is huge. I can go hours with my iPhone vs my Note 4

3 things. Battery life. Camera. Display.

For me, battery life has been unbelievable. It's the first smartphone I've had where I can easily get through a full day of mostly moderate-to-heavy usage and still have anything left, let alone the 20/30 percent I'm getting at the end of the day.

The OIS in the camera is a huge improvement for me. I have horribly shaky hands when trying to take a picture (the more I concentrate, the more I shake - it's psychological, not neurological). The Plus has made it so that I'm getting less jagged shots and more acceptable photos per batch.

The display is amazing. I'm pretty heavily nearsighted and for me going from a 6 to a 6S Plus was a big change for me. I really can see more clearly now things on the screen and I squint way less, and so therefore I'm having less tension headaches, lol.

All in all, a huge jump. The cool S features aside, going from regular to plus was the best choice I could have ever made.
