Both the Note 4 and S5 are nice. If you want the best camera, smaller size, and water-proofness then the S5 is your ticket. If you want a delicious larger screen, monster battery life, the S Pen and all her functionality, bragging rights, metal, multi window, awesomeness, world peace, and a great OIS'd camera...well...then the Note 4 would be your weapon of choice. ...or something like that.
