FollowSamsung Galaxy S4 is ruling the smartphone market. Even phones that somewhat similar or better specs than the Galaxy S4 cannot compete with Galaxy S4. Next year, the Galaxy S4 will be replaced by its successor Galaxy S5. Meanwhile, Samsung is already planning to release their new phablet handset, the Galaxy Note 3 in the next month during the Samsung Unpacked 2013 event.
Galaxy Note 3, which is going to release next month will soon compete with their in-house product Galaxy S5.
The popularity of Galaxy S4 is at its peak now but even now rumors of the Galaxy S5 are spreading. We have got some rumored specs of Galaxy S5. Let’s compare it with the upcoming Galaxy Note 3 to see what’s in store for Samsung fans in the future.
Design
For all its edition of Samsung Galaxy devices, the Korean tech giant has only used cheap plastic. This is the reason why people had criticized a lot when Samsung rolled out the S4 with plastic body. Remember Samsung Youm? Earlier, Samsung had unveiled Youm which sported endless display. So, rumors have it that the Galaxy S5 it will come out with aluminum body and flexible display like that of Youm.
The Galaxy Note 3 will definitely not sport an endless display also it will come with the boring plastic design. However, it is the internal specs of the phablet that will mow down the other leading smartphones of the present times.
Camera
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is predicted to feature a 16MP camera which means it has more megapixels than what is expected on Galaxy Note 3. The Note 3 will sport 13MP lens along with optical image stabilization. The OIS is also feature which will come with the Galaxy S5.
Display
Apple is rumored to be working on a edge-to-edge display for iPhone 6. So, if this is to come true even Samsung should do something similar to compete with next year’s iPhone. It is rumored that the Galaxy S5 will have a 5inch full HD 1080p Super AMOLED edge-to-edge display.
Samsung was rumored to offer flexible OLED display on Note 3 but this is not going to happen. It will have a Super AMOLED display with full HD support. The display screen size of this phablet will be 5.7 or 5.8 inches.
Hardware
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is rumored to be available in two CPU versions. One will be Exynos 5420 CPU which will deliver a clocking speed of 1.8GHz. Another will be Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU which will deliver a clocking peed of 2.3GHz.
Experts are not talking much about the CPU details of Galaxy S5. So, may be a powerful octa-core CPU in two variants may be on the way. As far as the RAM is concerned, the Galaxy Note is rumored to come out with 3GB RAM. Tech gurus are of the view that even the Galaxy S5 will house a 3GB RAM.
Software
The Galaxy Note 3 will be running on the latest Android OS, the 4.3 Jelly Bean version. Since the Android 4.3 is not a ‘major’ update, we think that the Galaxy S5 will be blessed with Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie or may even come with the existing Android 4.3 OS.
Release Date
Samsung is going to unveil the Galaxy Note 3 on September 4 and the release date of note 3 on different carriers in the United States (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, U.S. Cellular, Sprint) might happen within the next 2 weeks of unveiling.
As for the Galaxy S5 release date, this can happen in next year’s March. But all is now rumored however Samsung has been following the tradition of releasing the extensions of their flagship smartphones for the past 2 years at a particular time every year. And same can be expected for Note 3 and Galaxy S5 release date.
