iPhone 5S vs Galaxy Note 3: Fight between Apple and Samsung Continues

September 30, 2013 By Troy Rubenson Leave a Comment

Recently, both rival companies Samsung and Apple launched two new handsets namely: the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Apple iPhone 5S. In the past few years, Apple and Samsung have been fighting it out to win over each other. Let us compare the iPhone 5S with Galaxy Note 3 to know which one is a better device:

Design, Build and Display
iPhone 5S is an upgraded version of the older iPhone 5. It is available in three premium colors like silver, gold and grey. The exterior of the iPhone 5S is made up of durable quality aluminum. Thus, the iPhone 5S appears sleek and sophisticated. The Galaxy Note 3 is a 6inch phablet device. It has got a plastic yet durable body. And it comes with appealing leather back. Appearance-wise the Note 3 is not that good-looking but the internal specs of the device are the things that make it one of the best smartphones currently available.

Since the Galaxy Note 3 is larger screen, it has got that extra screen space that it’s give it an advantage. It has got a 5.7inch display that supports a display resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels with a pixel density of 386ppi. On the other hand, the iPhone 5S has got a 4inch display which supports a display resolution of 640 x 1136 pixels. It offers a pixel density of 326ppi. Both the devices have got great displays. However, it all boils down to the choice between larger device that may not be easy to hold with one hand and a smaller device that is quite comfortable to operate with one hand.

Processor, RAM and Storage
Apple has powered the new iPhone 5S with a brand new A7 processor. According to Apple, the iPhone 5S’s processor is twice faster than the predecessor’s A6 processor. Also, it is the first smartphone ever to run on a 64bit A7 processor.

Also, it packs in an M7 motion co-processor which enables the handset to detect actions of the user such as sitting, walking, running and so on. Apple has never disclosed properly about how many RAM the device has got. We feel it has got 2GB RAM onboard. There is no external storage on the device but the handset is available in three variants namely 16GB, 32GB and 64GB.

Well, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is powered with a new Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core 2.3GHz Krait 400 CPU. It is coupled with a 3GB RAM. The performance of the tablet is quite snappy. The device is available in three internal storage variants like 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. An advantage on the Note 3 is that it comes with external microSD storage.

Both the handsets deliver stunning performance. It is quite a gamble to choice the best between the two in terms of processor and RAM.

Camera and System Software
The rear side of the iPhone 5S is housed with an 8MP iSight camera. This time around Apple has used larger sensor to capture better photos. It has got a dual True Tone flash which consists of amber and white color and it automatically adjusts the flash light according to the ambience of the room. The Galaxy Note 3 has got 13MP camera and a 2MP camera at the front.

The operating system on iPhone 5S is the latest iOS 7 and the one running on Galaxy Note 3 is Android 4.3 Jelly Bean OS. The iOS 7 is very good upgrade with various new features like Control Center and Notification Center. The Android 4.3 is not a major overhaul update and much of the features were already present on Android 4.2 which is available on slightly older smartphones.

The fingerprint sensor is undoubtedly the most popular feature on iPhone 5S. From unlocking iPhone to authenticating Apple ID, you can do it all through that fingerprint sensor placed under the home button.

Galaxy Note 3 has got a special S-Pen which is nothing but a stylus that has arrived this year with couple of new features. The phablet also comes with some sensors onboard which let you access features like Smart Pause and Smart Scroll.

Battery Life
Well, both the smartphones don’t sport a powerful battery. The iPhone 5S has got the same old battery that is running on iPhone 5 which has been discontinued now. With a powerful A7 chip onboard, it is certain that it will consume a lot of battery. On other side, the Galaxy Note 3 is powered with 3200mAh battery which is good but it may not be that good enough to last longer thanks to the meaty display and powerful CPU packed inside this phablet.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 vs HTC One Max- the Battle Ensues Even More As Release Date Nears

September 29, 2013 By Troy Rubenson Leave a Comment

The iPhone 5S has arrived and the Google Nexus 5 is going to arrive in the next month. However, one of the much awaited phones is the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 which is going to arrive in October. The Galaxy Note 3 is a phablet device. Though iPhone 5S and Google Nexus 5 are going to pit against the Note 3, the real competition is going to come from another phablet phone which is the HTC One Max. Well, even the HTC One Max is going to arrive in the middle of October.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is a 5.7inch phablet device and the HTC One Max is 6inch phablet device. The HTC One has got which released at the beginning of the year is expected to come out with variants like HTC One Mini and HTC One Max. The original HTC One surprisingly came out to give good competition the Galaxy S4. Here we have got a picture that shows you both HTC One Max and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 kept beside each other.

galaxy note 3 vs htc one max

HTC One Max was expected to arrive in third quarter of the year. However, recently it has been known that the HTC One Max is going to be launched on October 15th. The news has come from Pocket-lint. The Etrade news reveals that the phablet will be unraveled in the home country on October 17th. The dates which we are talking here are only announcement dates and not the dates when the devices will be out in the market for sale.

Once the HTC One Max debuts in the mid-October, it will go on sale during the later days of October. If this comes true, it would mean that Samsung Galaxy Note 3 which is expected to release early in October will be available for sales for several weeks in Europe and US. This will give the Korean branded smartphone an edge over the Taiwan branded smartphone.

The flagship HTC One had arrived weeks before Galaxy S4. However, the company did not advertise the product well and in no time Galaxy S4 was able to surpass the popularity of HTC One. AT&T will be launching the Galaxy Note 3 on October 1. On October 2nd, the Note 3 will come on T-Mobile. Sprint will be selling it on from October 4th. Verizon will be selling the device on October 10th.  US Cellular is yet to announce on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date on their network.

HTC One Max will come with a large 6inch display that offers 1080p full HD resolution. It is packed with Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor. It has got the trademark Ultrapixel camera. It has also got Android 4.3 Jelly Bean OS backed with HTC Sense 5.5 user interface.

Google Nexus 5 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 3 – Will New Nexus 5 Thwart Galaxy Note 3?

September 22, 2013 By Troy Rubenson Leave a Comment

Galaxy Note 3 is currently the best smartphone in the market. Even though Apple has launched the new iPhone 5S but experts feel that it won’t be able to disturb the sales of Note 3. The HTC One Max and Nokia Lumia 1520 are the two phablets that have features that can make them compete with the Note 3. Many are also waiting for the Nexus 5 to arrive which is going to replace the older Nexus 4.

In the previous year, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 was released in October and LG Nexus 4 came out around the same time with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS. Both the Korean tech giants competed with each other. However, the phablet from Samsung was a superior smartphone compared to the Nexus 4. Both remained to be the best smartphones of 2013.

Now, Samsung has already announced the Galaxy Note 3 which is going to release in October in US. Yesterday was the last day of Google Nexus 4 which clearly indicates that Google is planning to launch new Nexus 5 in the near future. It is still not clear which brand among LG and Motorola will be manufacturing the Nexus 5. Let us compare both the phones with each other to know how the battle will ensue once the Google Nexus 5 is rolled out.

Display
The Galaxy Note 3 is blessed with a massive full HD 5.7inch display screen. As of now, we do not know what would be the size of the display on Nexus 5. What we do know is that like Note 3, the Nexus 5 display will support 1080 pixels resolution. The Nexus 4 is equipped with a large 4.7inch display. Some experts feel that this time around, the next Nexus smartphone will sport a 5inch or 5.2icnh display.

Design
The exterior of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is built with plastic and comes with faux leather at the rear which is something new to see on Galaxy line of smartphones from Samsung. Samsung has done well in make the device thinner and lighter than before. It is 8.3mm slim and weighs 168g.

The design of the Nexus 5 is going to be somewhat similar to that of new Nexus 7 tablet. According to the leaks, the exterior will be housed with smooth plastic and it will sport a large Nexus logo.  The logo will be same like the one present on new Nexus 7 tablet. So, like the Note 3, the Nexus 5 will feature plastic body. We are not sure about its dimensions but is should be thinner and lighter than the older Nexus 4.

samsung_galaxy_note_3

Storage
For United States, the Korean tech giant is only offering 32GB storage variant of Galaxy Note 3. The Nexus 4 was available in two storage variants, namely 8GB and 16GB. Going by this, we feel that the Nexus 5 will also be made available in two storage variants. Some analysts think that this time around, Google will not offer 8GB version but will rather roll out 16GB and 32GB version of the device.

Notable Differences
S-Pen feature which is exclusively available on the Galaxy Note 3 allows users to draw and write on the display of the device. It is coupled with some useful software as well. Well, the Nexus 5 will not come with a stylus.

The back cover of the Note 3 is removable which makes it quite easy to replace the battery with a new battery in case the battery dies or malfunctions. According to FCC filings, the Nexus 5 will come with non-removable back cover which will not allow users to remove the battery.

The external storage on the Galaxy Note 3 allows you add up to 64GB of microSD card. Until now, Google has not offered external microSD card slot on its Nexus smartphones, so it is quite expected that the Nexus 5 will not offer external storage but will rather come with massive cloud storage space.

Software
Galaxy Note 3 was fortunate to come out with the latest Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update. Also, it has got TouchWiz UI laid over the Android OS. However, Google has always been known to roll out new Android OS update with new Nexus devices. The Android 4.4 KitKat update has been announced but it is yet to release. It is likely that the Nexus 5 will come with all new Android 4.4 KitKat.

Pricing
Galaxy Note 3 is going to be priced at 299USD on contract thanks to the massive display and loads of features it brings. Since Google has not announced the Nexus 5 yet, the details on the price are not yet known. However, because it will come with LTE support, the price of the handset may go up to 399USD for 16GB variant and 450USD for 32GB variant. Both the devices will be shipped unlocked.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Launched, Runs Android 4.3, Includes Improved S Pen

September 5, 2013 By Jack M. Robinson Leave a Comment

The Galaxy Note 3 is finally here, which marks the grand culmination of the almost incessant stream of rumors that the device had generated. What that means is that much of what the device packs in has been in public domain though definitely not all. Samsung must also be credited for being able to keep the Note 3 device itself away from prying eyes which means we got to see the device first during the launch itself. Not that everyone was taken aback by the looks of the device though the Note 3 does pack in a few surprises.

Galxy-Note 3

Sporting slightly square looks, the device still is a lot similar to it predecessor though the real surprise lies at the rear. The Note 3 sports a soft touch faux leather covering at the back, complete with faux stitching as well. It’s still made of plastic, something that has earned the company a lot of criticism with rumors already claiming Samsung adopting metal for its future smartphones. The back is removable and the battery is user replaceable.

Coming back to the Note 3, the device sports a 5.7 inch full HD AMOLED display which is 0.2 inch bigger than the Note 2 though the device as a whole is a mm less than the Note 2. This goes to show how narrow a bezel the Note 3 comes with. Powering the device will be either a 2.3 GHz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon chip (for LTE version) or Samsung’s own 1.9 GHz octa core Exynos 5 Octa CPU (for 3G version). The above will be coupled to a 3 GB RAM while internal memory options will stand at either 32 or 64 GB. Plus there will also be support for micro SD cards which can bump the memory by another 64 GB.

These apart, the Note 3 is also endowed with a 2 and 13 mp camera at the front and rear, with both benefiting from BSI and optical image stabilization technology. Also, the Note 3 will come pre-loaded with Android 4.3 making it among the first to be so. The Note 3 also comes with some unique apps such as Air Command and My Magazine which are on top of all the apps that the Galaxy S4 and Not 2 comes with. Also pre-loaded will be the security software Knox.

Providing the juice will be a 3200mAh battery though actual run times aren’t available as yet. Meanwhile, the Note 3 also comes with the S Pen which Samsung claims to have been improved a lot. However, pricing details are still being withheld, something that will be crucial to the phablet’s success in the world market.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Rumored To Come With 2.5 GB RAM

September 3, 2013 By Jack M. Robinson Leave a Comment

This could well be among the last of rumor stories concerning the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 device. The latest that the renowned leakster evleaks has come up with concerning the Note 3 is that the big screen smartphone will come with a 2.5 GB RAM. That makes it 512 MB short of the 3 GB RAM that was being widely circulated as the RAM strength of the Note 3 device.

Samsung-Galaxy-Note-III

While the above is still not expected to bring about a drastic change in the performance of the phablet, some have opined that the Note 3 will be accompanied with a 3 GB RAM though its about 2.5 GB that will be at the user’s disposal while the remaining 512 MB could be fixed for some other task. So after taking into account the above rumor, the internal build-up of the Note 3 looks something like this: a 2.3 GHz quad core CPU, 2.5 GB RAM along with 32/64 GB of internal memory. As per evleaks, the above applies to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 version. The operating system on-board will be Android 4.3.

Among the other things that have also come to the fore courtesy of evleaks include an AnTuTu benchmark score supposedly that of the Note 3 as well as the About Device screen. Thankfully, the rumor will be short lived as we are not too far from coming across the real thing. Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Note 3 device on Wednesday, September 4, just 2 days ahead of the IFA event kicking off in Berlin.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Release Date Features vs. Galaxy Note 3

September 3, 2013 By Troy Rubenson Leave a Comment

Samsung 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 this week during the Samsung Unpacked 2013 event.

The Galaxy Note 3 release date which is going to happen tomorrow 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.

samsung galaxy note 3

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.

Galaxy S5, Note 3 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 5.68 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 of Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S5

Samsung’s best smartphones of the future will be releasing soon. The Galaxy Note 3 will be unveiled tomorrow and the release date in the United States will happen in less than 2 weeks if all goes well.

Where as Samsung has the habit of launching the S series smartphones in Mid March and same is expected for Galaxy S5 release date.

Apple iPhone 6 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Rumored Features, Release Date Comparison

September 2, 2013 By Troy Rubenson Leave a Comment

Neither the iPhone 6 nor the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date has happened but the rumors of these superphones are building more and more. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is scheduled to be unleashed this week at the IFA event at Berlin.

However, the iPhone 6 release date will be arriving in the coming year. By the time it arrives, the Galaxy Note 3 may not be latest iteration from Samsung but for sure it will give good competition to the iPhone 6.

Samsung galaxy note 3 (1)

Display

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is going to sport a 5.8 or 5.9 inch full HD Super AMOLED display. New concepts about the iPhone 6’s display reveal that the handset will be sporting larger display and may even appear like a phablet with a larger display. However, more interesting is that iPhone 6’s display is will not be the usual high resolution Retina Display but tech experts are of the view that the iPhone 6 will come with edge-to-edge display with display of the handset extending to the sides of the phone. The display technology is going to be IGZO display from Sharp.

Processor and RAM

The Samsung Note 3 will be released in two processor variants. One will feature Exynos 5 Octa processor whereas the other one will come with Snapdragon 800 CPU. Both will be capable of delivering around 2.3GHz of clocking speed. The iPhone 6 may feature a quicker A6 processor or an entirely new A7 CPU.

As far as RAM is concerned, the Galaxy Note 3 is breaking the shackles by introducing 3GB RAM. However, nothing is yet sure about the iPhone 6. What we feel is that after the release of Galaxy Note 3, several new smartphones will also feature 3GB RAM and when the times come for Apple to unveil the iPhone 6, there will be quite a few devices having 3GB RAM onboard. Hence, it can be well speculated that a 3GB RAM is going to be present on the Apple iPhone 6.

Camera
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is assumed to be coming out with 13MP shooter. It will be blessed with optical image stabilization feature. Nothing much is known about the camera of the iPhone 6. However, it is going to be better than the iPhone 5S. Experts are of the view that there it will house a 12MP camera with dual-LED flash.

Operating System
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will come with Android 4.3 OS preloaded on it. The iPhone 5S is going to be revealed in this month. It is going to come out with the latest iOS 7. So, we feel that the iPhone 6 when it comes out will get some new upgrades for the existing iOS 7.  Well, for the Galaxy Note 3, we feel that the phablet will be updated with Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie.

By this week, we will come to know everything about the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and then after the iPhone 5S comes out and becomes couple of months old, new rumors of the iPhone 6 concept and rumored features will start pouring. We are now are eagerly waiting for the IFA event that is going to be held on Sept 4. If you think that the iPhone 6 will come with some interesting features, do share it with us in the comments section.

Galaxy Note 3 Features: 5 Advantages Over The iPhone 5S Release Date

September 1, 2013 By Jack M. Robinson Leave a Comment

We are on the verge of being pampered with the new iPhone 5S as well as the Galaxy Note 3 release dates. Both the devices will be out in the coming weeks and will woo consumers with a great deal of features. While the Note 3 is likely to be launched on September 4, just a few days down the line, the September 10 Apple event is expected to yield the new iPhone 5S. Or in other words, there is a royal battle in the offing the stakes of which will be unusually high this time round.

This since Samsung has rapidly climbed on consumer acceptance on the back of some impressive device launches during the last few years. Apple on the other hand, has been able to maintain the lead but there seems a sizeable chunk of its user base who won’t mind to shift camps if there is a better device for the taking. Also, the Apple flagship could be seen puny in the face of other ‘flagship devices’ such as the HTC One Max, the Sony Xperia Z Ultra as well the Note 3.

Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3

Galaxy Note 3 Features

Although both these devices are expected to outsmart one another in many respects, a keen look at their features will help in finding out as to which of the two is the better device. A number of leaks in recent times have also given a clear picture as to which of the two will be more in demand. None of the two can be declared a cleared winner over the other. However, there does exists some areas where the Note 3 can be considered to have a clear advantage over the iPhone. Mentioned here are just some of the aspects where the iPhone can be found lacking vis-à-vis the Note 3.

If rumors are considered, the Note 3 will feature a full HD 5.7 inch display whereas the iPhone 5S will be featuring the same 4 inch Retina display like its predecessor, the iPhone 5. The large screen space is a boon for those who appreciate it. It makes for a great movie or video watching experience given the bigger display, something that is not quite possible in the iPhone 5S owing to the smaller screen size. It is for the same reason that the Galaxy Note 3 can be considered ideal for the gamers as well as the ones hooked onto reading. True there are many who prefer a more handy and compact device when it comes to a smartphone though the added advantage that the bigger display of the Note 3 can’t de denied either.

Internal memory is turning out to be a major issue with smart connected devices in the digital age what with there being so much to deal with and store these days. Smartphones as it stands right now are not only for making voice or video calls or for connecting to the internet. Manufacturers rather harp on other most sought after qualities of smartphones regularly. These include watching movies and videos, playing games, listening to music, taking pictures and so on. And all of these does make a substantial amount of memory mass, which can go well beyond several GBs.

iPhone 5S vs The Note 3

In such a scenario, the iPhone 5S is expected to follow the usual 16, 32 and 64 GB memory configurations that Apple devices have been known for. The Note 3 though is expected start at 32 GB with there being another 64 GB variant as well. However, where the Note 3 could really beat the iPhone 5S is the incorporation of a microSD card slot which can bump the total storage to all the way up to 96 GB. Both these devices will also be using cloud storage but the Galaxy Note 3 will appeal a great deal to those who are looking for plenty of space for games, apps, images, videos and so on.

Another positive aspect of Galaxy Note 3 is likely to be its removable back cover which will allow the battery to be removed easily and replaced by another of higher capacity for those who need more juice out of their device.

Multitasking has been one of the key qualities of the Note 3 and the same is expected to get a major fillip with the Note 3 device, more so since the upcoming device is expected to feature a RAM of 3 GB and a quad core Qualcomm 800 processor.  With that much of processing power as disposal and the large screen real estate, the Note 3 is ideal for multitasking.

Users can easily work with two open apps simultaneously or watch videos while performing other tasks. While the new iOS 7 does incorporate multitasking, the same is not expected to be as extensive and elaborate as on the Note 3. The less screen space is also another reason for the iPhone not been best suited for multitasking.

The Note 3 also comes with an S Pen that can be put inside the device neatly when not in use. The S Pen does add to the functionality of the Note 3 immensely and can be used for quick note taking or for sketching on the device. None of that sort accompanies the iPhone which seriously limits its functionality when compared to the Note 3.
