Who would have thought a few years ago that Samsung and BlackBerry would have battled it out in the world of mobile telephony. The South Korean company seems to have taken a different turn, definitely geared towards the average consumer, what you can not afford the iPhone but neither wants the last chinoiserie. BlackBerry instead, back from some smartphones that have brought home positive signals appeared to be on the threshold of the abyss. But here we are to tell you how the last two products of the two companies are now members to compete in a very difficult field, that of productivity on the move.
Dimensions and Design
Let’s start from here. The Galaxy Note 4 is large 153 mm x 78.6 mm x 8.5 mm while the Passport has a height of 128 mm, a width of 90.3 mm and a thickness of 9.3 mm. The biggest difference is just the width, given the particular design of the Passport. The weight is slightly higher for the BlackBerry product (196 g versus 176), but nothing that he does not get a phone to take with you. In addition, the rear wheel and the frame very close to the edge give you the feeling that you have in your hands a unique and exclusive product.
For his part, notes 4 continues the line of shape and size of its predecessor . However, the phablet received a nice update on its construction materials especially in the back where the fabric leatherette back in vogue but it is soft, pleasant to the touch and much better than on the notes 3. In addition, the device is wrapped a strip of metal which makes it more luxurious than the rest of the Galaxy range of Samsung. We assign the first step to Samsung. The Passport is also nice-looking and innovative, but get used to the form factor is not easy.
The
The Passport has a curious display 4.5-inch IPS LCD square. The resolution is 1440 x 1440 pixels and a density of 453ppi. No doubt about it: this is the best BlackBerry experience yet seen. The bottom of the display, bottom, reaches a consistency with the rest of the phone rarely view on smartphones such, there are no breaks or jumps material, so as to return a very pleasant interruption.
The Note 4 on the other hand have a record. At the time of the site specializes DisplayMate was assigned to the phone the first place among the best mobile displays. The screen size is 5.7 inch Super AMOLED 2K with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixel density of 515ppi. This challenge wins BlackBerry, since due to size, quality and yield of vision is better.
Power and Memory
The Passport has a great (maybe just a moment passed) Qualcomm Snapdragon processor type 800 quad-core processor at 2.2 GHz. The video card is an Adreno 330 which, together with 3 GB of RAM, allows handle smoothly all major operations, even the most complex such as 3D games. The storage memory is 32 GB, expandable via MicroSD cards up to 128. The phablet Samsung has instead a more modern 805 Snapdragon quad-core 2.26 GHz, Adreno 420 graphics card, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB internal memory expandable to 128. Data in hand, wins Samsung.ùùù
Camera
BlackBerry worked really about the software. If the 16 megapixel sensor of Note 4 is always a security, plus the optical stabilizer for video and 3.7-megapixel front facing camera for Selfie perfect, the 13-megapixel camera Passport defends well, being able to produce great pictures and video quality, again with optical stabilizer. Go to the efforts of the Canadian, but the penny Samsung goes here .
Autonomy
We come to an important point for those who do not want to worry about charging your phone during the day but in the evening at home. If productivity is what you looking for, a good battery life is essential. BlackBerry offers a rechargeable 3450 mAh battery that gives almost a day and a half of life, with normal use (no hours on YouTube or playing for instance). Samsung has instead opted for a battery of 3220 mAh, with an average of just under Passport; who wins this challenge .
Options
On the one hand the QWERTY keyboard, the other, the S Pen. The choice is difficult, if not impossible. We feel ourselves to promote the selection of BlackBerry , at least for two reasons. First of all, the company has decided to modernize the form and content of previous models but still retaining one of the features that has made it famous around the world. In addition, under the full keyboard (maybe slightly compressed) there is also a sensor that allows you to move in all four directions to navigate menus and within the app, instead of tapping the screen; a useful choice, and that in its way goes to fill the inability to interact with the portion of the screen occupied by the QWERTY. The Samsung S Pen is a certainty, for better or for worse.
Beyond the creative or who has learned to take notes with the stylus rather than typing on the virtual keyboard, the rest of the users might not see great advantages in physical solution from Samsung. Speaking strictly of productivity, it is more comfortable to type on a physical keyboard rather than adopt a pen which, although possible to open the menu or to do anything special with just the touch, no longer the novelty that gives added value in total.
Conclusions and Prices
Who’d recommend buying one or the other smartphone / phablet? The choice is never easy. Of course if you make extensive use of email (read and send) or SMS, the choice is almost inevitable and leads right straight to the Passport. If you want to equip yourself with a phone that also make great pictures, let’s play the last title in 3D, or watch a movie with a little cinematic vision, then the choice may very well fall on the notes 4. Do not underestimate the arrival Passport to the Amazon App Store that in a percentage close to 70%, allows for almost all apps available on Google Play Store (other than Samsung’s proprietary course). The prices? The price is about 699 € for the BlackBerry Passport and 769 Euros for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 , net of discounts and offers on the web. They dance several tens of Euros between the two models. Maybe the above steps will help you choose, do not forget to keep an eye on your wallet.
