If I not mistaken, tab s 8.4/10.5 use exynos 5422 which is still 28nm soc. exynos 5433 and 5430 is 20nm soc.
This should help improve power consumption and less heat generation.
Hope that note 4 is not warmer than note 3. The metal frame is better heat conductor than plastic. This could result warmer to touch as gsmarena mention in galaxy alpha review:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_alp...view-1114p3.phpExynos 5420 , running at 1.9ghz . Power consumption on it , cant comment much , nothing to compare with for a 4900mah batt but it's good enough to last a day if you're not heavy user and for an exynos powered device , much improvement in terms of smoothness over my last exynos device , S4
Heat wise , as long as it doesn't reach the Tegra 3 level , it's fine . Remember some of my devices auto reboot due to heat on Tegra 3 . That's 1 "hot" processor

For sure HD display will lost to QHD. QHD is overkill as normally people dont really care much already if HD or QHD once the screen can display with minimum HD.
The direction of Apple designing Iphone6 and 6+ this time is different. HD will help to save the battery and new iphone 6 and 6+ what i hear from users to charge their phone two to three days. My boss has same comments as well after he got Iphone6 from Digital mall last Sunday. He used ipone5s before and experiencing bad battery performance. Processing QHD file also potentially need more power to process therefore no doubt this coming one or two years Apple would have better lead in battery power consumption against other Android phone, although latest Kitkat version will not need much power if compare with order Android version. To further improve it each company should not dump so many boatware in the system so that to achieve even better battery consumption
Greenify is excellent application could help Android phone to save battery power. I am still satisfied with the battery performance of Note 3 with this application.
The problem with battery consumption for iphones here in malaysia is our network , not the screen . That's the thing that makes the iphones have the bad batt life . I have colleagues using the iphone with calls + messaging + social networking app in US and their iphones can last a day on a full charge . Using the same thing here in Msia except calls + cutting down a lot on messaging eg whatsapps , kik , most of them couldnt even get 6 hours on a full charge .
