Samsung: the truth about the performance of the Galaxy Note 3
Roberto Catania
Into The Galaxy Note has become great. No, do not talk about the size, those were already exuberant since the first series. No, the size of the notes now goes far beyond its measures. Arrived at his third chapter, one can safely say that the bigfoot of Samsung is to all intents and purposes a top end of the range. The proof is all in the price: € 729 . On balance most of the Samsung Galaxy S4 , until recently undisputed number one of the portfolio of the Korean house.
Into Here then is that some users begin to ask ourselves: Galaxy Note Galaxy 3 and S4 are twin brothers of different body shape or the differences are more distinct? And above all: what is the best between the two? Below we will try to compare them to learn more. DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT151 x 79 x 8.3 mm for 168 grams of weight (Samsung Galaxy Note 3) against 137 x 79 x 79 mm and 130 grams of weight (Samsung Galaxy S4. Looking for a good compromise between display space and dimensions the Galaxy S4 certainly will seem more balanced. More challenging the caliber of Note (larger than 10% and heavier by almost 30%): convenient if you want a surrogate portable tablet, a little ‘less if you need an object handy to keep in your pocket without any problems.
The plastics dominate at both ends. On the back of the Galaxy Note 3, however, we find a cover imitation leather with a lot of like-stitching: it is always made of plastic, mind you, but overall the aesthetic feeling (and also the one to the touch ) appears much more refined, as well as the original.
The amount of pixels is the same ( 1920 x 1080 on both sides) but being spread on a different surface changes the relationship pixels per inch 388 ppi for the Galaxy Note 3 441 ppi for the Galaxy S4. It is, comuqnue, differences hardly visible to the naked eye, we are faced with two Super AMOLED screens of the highest category.
Here the differences are more sensitive: the Galaxy Note 3 , in the version LTE, leaves the factory with a chipset 800 quad-core Snapdragon 2.3 GHz and 3 GB of RAM , a set of maximum respect, also higher than that of Galaxy S4 which, remember, can boast a processor 600 quad-core Snapdragon 1.9 GHz and 2 GB of RAM . If you use the phone in its basic functions (calls, messages, e-mail and internet) you may not feel the difference, but if you are used to crush a tablet on all the multimedia features (including games) then use that knowledge.
Leveraging the younger age, the Galaxy Note comes with 3 Android 4.3 preinstalled; most dated the release of the Galaxy S4 (Android 4.2 ), which, however, should return to par with the update scheduled for the next few weeks. No difference, however, with regard to the user interface that is both tried and true TouchWiz UI , with the various features as a dowry, Gesture by Air to Air View, from scrolling intelligent Smart Stay.
CAMERA
Lens 13 megapixel rear , 2-megapixel front. In terms of pure resolution cameras are equivalent. Going down, however, in the maze of settings discover some small difference in favor of Note 3. One above all: the ability to record video in 4K .
Here the clash is naturally unequal, since only one of the two phones (the Galaxy Note 3) has nib . Useful accessory or exercise in style (sorry, stylus)? It depends on the tune that triggers between user and accessory. Of course, Samsung is doing everything to make the user experience easier and more sensitive to the master’s hand. It should be emphasized in this sense the arrival of Air Commander , a convenient menu control half-moon, and the function that allows you to transform a written note (text or numeric) in a real input, such as a task on the calendar or a phone call.
The extra-large size of the Galaxy Note 3 are also being felt in terms of autonomy: being able to take advantage of a more capacious rear compartment, Samsung has been able to integrate into a giant envelope battery 3200 mAh . The advantage compared to the Galaxy S4 (where the battery stops to 2600 mAh) is approximately 25%, which means almost half a day in most operations. CONCLUSIONS
The price difference (actually quite modest, about 30 euro) is all there: at present the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 placed at a step above its younger brother, especially in terms of performance and battery. In the evaluation, however, can not be ignored by the discourse of dimensions as the Galaxy S4 is not a device mignon, 0.7 inch difference, however, are many. The impression is that more than the price or match the technical difference will make it once again the user setup: those who prefer a compact object will choose the Galaxy S4 , but those who want to experience halfway between a 7-inch tablet and a smartphone will be directed to Notes 3 . The size, in short, they still count.
