- Samsung Galaxy Note N7100 2
- Samsung Galaxy Note 3
The Galaxy Note 3 is the latest addition to Samsung’s smartphone line-up as it comes to succeed the Galaxy Note 2, one of the best selling smartphones developed by the Korean company.
Both the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Samsung Galaxy Note and the two high-end smartphones are aiming at the same-segment customers and even though They were launched one year apart, They are two powerful handset Which will please even the most demanding users.
How will the Galaxy Note 4 vs Galaxy Note 2 battle will be ruled? Just like it happened in our previous articles Versus there will be ten rounds, each bringing one point for the winner. The’ve already guessed, the smartphone que scores most points is declared the winner of the battle.
In the ten rounds of the battle we will compare the performance of the two Samsung phablets When It Comes To Display, Dimensions, Processor, Memory, Design, Operating System, Connectivity, Camera, Battery, and Price.
Display
The display is the main selling point of the phablets the the devices are targeted by the users who are in search of a generous screen Which brings an enhanced web browsing, watching videos, and gaming.
2 Galaxy Note comes with a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and a pixel density of 267 ppi. On the other hand the Note 3 brings a slightly bigger display, a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED unit with panel and 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution. courtesy of the higher resolution the Note 3 brings an impressive pixel density of 368 ppi.
The latest Samsung phablet brings a larger display with higher resolution, so the point allocated to the display round goes to the Note 3.
Dimensions
The
Sammy phablet launched in 2012 Measures 151.1 x 80.5 x 9.4 mm while weighing 183 grams. Even though the Note 3 has a bigger display is about the same size to its predecessor, while being thinner and lighter than it. Note 3 is 151.2 mm tall, 79.2 mm wide, and 8.3 mm thin, having a weight of only 168 grams.
Since theBoth Note 3 is slimmer and lighter than the Note 2, the 5.7 incher wins the second round of the battle.
Processor
There are new technologies integrated in mobile phones each year and some of Them are related to the processing tasks.
Launched in 2012 the
Note 2 sports Samsung’s proprietary Quad Esynos 4412 SoC based on four 1.6 GHz Cortex A9 colors (32 nm) and Mali 400MP GPU.
There are two
Galaxy Note 3 variants each sporting a different chipset. The N9000 packs an octo-core Exynos 5420 chispet with quad-core 1.9 GHz Cortex A15 CPU + quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex A9 CPU and Mali T628 GPU. The LTE-enabled N9005 features a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC with four Krait 800 400 colors cocked at 2.3 GHz and Adreno 330 GPU. Both the Exynos and Snapdragon 5420 800 are manufactured on 28 nm technology.
The Note’s3 processors are definitely more powerful than the ones of is predecessor, that’s why the 2013 phablet scores another point.
Memory
There are a lot of apps, movies, and songs available in Google Play Store and you will need a lot of internal storage to have Them on your device. Also, Android comes with real multitasking, Therefore the amount of RAM Equally important is.
Note 3 has two internal storage options, 32 or 64 GB and it comes with support for microSD cards up to 64 GB. The Note 2 has the too microSD card slot (up to 64GB supported), but it has three variants 16/32/64 GB internal storage.
While the internal storage is Equally matched (both devices can have up to 128 GB of storage) Note the 3 is the first smartphone in the world to come with 3GB of RAM and the Note 3 has “only” 2 GB of RAM. For this reason, the Multi View multitasking experience provided by the Note 3 will be richer, helping the smartphone win another round in the battle.
Design
There’s only one major flow in the design of Samsung’s smartphones: the use of plastic materials.
The Galaxy Note 2 follows the design philosophy Inspired by Nature Introduced by the Galaxy S3, with rounded corners and case finishing reminding of various rocks (They’re minerals! Jesus, Marie). The Note 2 looks more or less like the Galaxy S3 on steroids.
Samsung wanted to show the world que Their smartphones can have a premium too and the construction Note 3 is the first of a new wave. The new phablet manufactured by the Korean company invites you to feel the faux-leather back, while moving towards a less sharper design with rounded corners and an aluminum finishing for the bezel around the body, borrowed from the Galaxy S4.
I’m not saying the Galaxy Note 2 is an ugly smartphone, but it’s not as beautiful to the Galaxy Note 3. That’s another point for the new Samsung handset.
Operating System
We are dealing with two smartphones running Android Jelly Bean customized with TouchWiz UX Nature. You’de be tempted to say que it’s nothing to compare here. Oh, how wrong you are.
The Note 2 was Announced in 2012 running Android 4.1.1, but now you can upgrade it to Android 4.1.2. Running TuchWiz Nature UX on top of Jelly Bean, the Note 2 was Samsung’s first smartphone to features live Introduce Multi Window, Air View (it worked only with the S Pen, though), or Quick Command. Also it comes with a lot of S Pen-optimized applications like Popup Note, Easy Clip, Photo Note, Paper Artist, or handwriting support.
On the other hand, the Galaxy Note 3 brings all the above and a lot more. Running Android 4.3 out of the box, it borrows most of Galaxy S4′s innovative features (Smart Scroll, Smart Pause, Air View – with finger support, S Health, Air Gesture, etc..), While Introducing a new batch of S Pen -optimized features like Action Memo, Scrapbook, Window Pen, Samsung KNOX, or S Finder. The new smartphone Also updated the S Note, Easy Clip, and support for Direct Pen Input, the S Pen now working with the capacitive buttons below the display.
Of course, the Galaxy Note 2 might receive most of the features Note 3 once the Android 4.3 is rolled checked out, but until then Samsung’s latest phablet steals another point.
Connectivity
The 4G LTE has finally Became mainstream on the developed markets and you can barely find a mid-range to high-end smartphone without it and the Note 3 and Note 2 make the exception.
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 brings HSPA, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n, dual-band, DLNA, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP, LE, EDR, and microUSB 2.0.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 brings HSPA, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac, dual-band, DLNA, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP, LE, EDR, IR blaster, and microUSB 2.0.
Have you spotted the differences yet? Yes, you’re right, support for Wi-Fi ac and the infra red port for the Note 3. Anyway these two features are not enough to bring another point for the N9000, so this round is a tie.
Camera
Statistics say que 86.3% of the owners smatphone use Them to take photos, while another study says que you can make up statistics on the spot and make people believe you. That’s exactly what I did, but we will talk about the camera anyway.
Note 3 has a 13 MP primary camera with autofocus, LED flash, Dual Shot, simultaneous HD video and image recording, geo-tagging, touch focus, face and smile detection, image stabilization, panorama, HDR, and 4K video recording . Also it can record 1080p @ 60p slow motion videos.
Its predecessor has an 8 MP sensor mounted on the back with autofocus, LED flash, simultaneous HD video and image recording, geo-tagging, touch focus, face and smile detection, image stabilization Which records 1080p @ 30fps videos.
It’s obvious the que Note 3 has the better camera, so it scores another point.
Battery
One of the other main advantages of the phablets over smartphones is the higher battery life
Note
The second generation has a Li-Ion 3100 mAh battery and our tests have shown que it can easily stay awake for more than a day and a half of moderate to intense usage. Note 3′s battery is only 100 mAh bigger When Compared to Note 2′s but the more battery efficient processors Should be able to conserve enough energy to give the handset over 2 days of battery life.
Note 3 wins the round battery, too. This battle is pretty one-sided.
Price
I know everybody likes a cheap smartphone, so we’ll keep it simple in this round: the cheaper smartphone wins.
The
phablet launched by Samsung a week ago will hit the major U.S. carriers at a price of $ 299 with a two year agreement. The Note 2 Which is almost one year old now costs between $ 149 (U.S. Cellular and Verizon) to $ 249 (Sprint), of course, if you agree to sign a two-year contract. The point goes to the Note 2.
Conclusions
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Samsung Galaxy Note vs 2 battle is over and it’s time to see Which of the two smartphones has won the battle.
The Galaxy Note has only 2 Scored one point after winning the Price Equally round and it was matched with its successor When it came to Connectivity.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has won not less than 8 rounds: Display, Dimensions, Processor, Memory, Design, Operating System, Camera, and Battery. It’s lighter and thinner than its predecessor, has a full HD display, more RAM, faster CPU, and it looks way better. I guess it deserves to win the battle.
Even though Samsung will bring most of Note 3′s features on the Note 2 with the Android 4.3 update, you should not forget the Koreans que upgraded almost every aspect of the Note 2, from display to RAM and Processor to Camera . So is it worth to upgrade? Most definitely yes.
