Samsung Galaxy Note 3 [Review]

Many Companies Have Tried To Make A Big Friendly Note Smartphone, But None Has Succeeded As Well As Samsung. While The First Galaxy Note Was Big Enough And Lack Of Refinement, Samsung Has Continuously Improved The Line, The Release Of The New Galaxy Note 3 Of This Year And A Real Competition For The First Time.

Shares Similarities With The Galaxy S4 In Design And Material, The Galaxy Note 3 Is Impressive In Many Ways. Depending On The Model You Choose, You'll Enjoy A Powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon Samsung Exynos Soc 800 Or Octa May A 5.7-inch Super Amoled Screen 1080p, Removable Storage, 13 Megapixel And Always Helpful S-pen. Touchwiz Also Included In The Bill, But That's Another Story For Later In The Review. 

I Have Both Galaxy Note 3 Models With Me For This Review, So It's An Interesting Comparison Between The New Exynos And Snapdragon 5800 OCTA Confidence. Which Model Is Best Suited For Users Around The World? Note 3 Is Enough Of An Update Of The Previous Galaxy Note?

The Exynos Powered Galaxy Note 3 Used In This Study Was Kindly Provided By Negri Electronics. No Matter Where You Are In The World (Australia, United States Or Abroad), Negri Offers Smartphones And Tablets Released First And The Lowest Price And You Can Choose To Note 3 Style You Like.

Design

Samsung Has Never Been The King Of Design Smartphone. Galaxy S4, While Ergonomic And Functional, Lacks The Refined Other Smartphones Who Participated Against Sensation. Note 3 Attempts To Address Some Strange Design Decisions Of Its Predecessors, But Not Without Samsung Quirks That We Learned About Signatures. 

Like Its Predecessors, The Galaxy Note 3 Is Large Enough, But Not Awkward Once You Get Used To The Size. Unlike Sony Xperia Ultra Z, Note 3 Corresponds Quite Well In His Pockets And Does Not Restrict Movement In The Same Grade. Use A Hand Is Not Easy When You're Dealing With A 5.7 ​​Inch Screen, But With Practice It Becomes Easier Than It Seems.

Despite A 0.2-Inch Screen Size Compared To Note LI, The Global Footprint Of Note 3 Decreased. Note 3 Of The Screen Covers 75% Of Its Front, Over 69% Of Grade LI, And Is Thinner (8.3MM Vs. 9.4MM) And Lightweight (168GAgainst 180G), And All Changes That Improve The Usability Of The Phone. The Reduction Of The Frame Around The Screen Is A Marked Improvement Both Visually And Ergonomically. 

On A Less Positive Note, It's No Wonder Samsung Choice Of Materials On The Rear Panel Removable Note 3. The Company Has Addressed Some Of The Problems I Had With The Previous Model - The Back Is No Longer A Smooth Piece, Slippery Cheap, Flimsy Plastic - But Not To The Point Of Complete Resolution. Outside The Front Is Covered With Gorilla Glass, Samsung Has Used The Plastic For The Rest Of The Construction Note 3.

In General, I Have No Problem With Plastic: If Used Right, Can Be An Excellent Alternative To Metal Devices Premium. However, Samsung Continues To Use Plastic In A Terrible Way. It Is Obvious That The Rear Panel Is Not Leather, But Plastic Made ​​To Look Like Faux-Leather With Stitching Edges. It Feels Decent In The Hand, But It Seems Obviously Wrong That Looks More Like A Chinese Imitation Of A High-End Smartphone.


The Same Could Be Said Of The Edges Of The Phone. At First Glance You Might Be Fooled Into Thinking That It Is A Ring Of Metal, But Instead Samsung Has An Edge Of Metal And Plastic - Double. I Would Not Have Much Of A Problem With The Choice Of Materials, Where Samsung Has Obviously Gone With Plastic And Used As Plastic. Instead, It Feels Like They Are Trying To Fool Customers By Designing A Phone That Looks Like It Is Made Of Quality Materials Such As Aluminum And Leather, But In Reality It Is Not.

On The Road, The Front Of The Note 3 Is Dominated By The 5.7 Inch Amoled Screen And The Triangle Pattern On The Bezel. Above, It Is The Speaker Grille Metal, Visible Sensors That Seem A Little Strange, A Front Camera, And Always Helpful, Big Enough Notification Light. Then, The Traditional Physical Home Button Is Displayed And The Menu Button On The Button To The Right And Left. 


Most Other Smartphones Have Buttons On The Reverse Configuration, I.E Samsung Smartphone Breeders Could Not Be Confused For Several Weeks. The Menu Button At The Bottom Left Is Difficult To Rely On The Use Of The Phone In One Hand (And Android 4.0+ Is A Useless Button Legacy), So That The Button Is Used More Frequently Is Actually Back In A Better Position.

On The Edges Of The Left Controls The Volume, The Top Has The 3.5MM Headphone Jack And An Infrared Led And The Right Side Has The Power Button. Object In A Comfortable Position, The Power Button Is Ideal For Easy Use.

The Bottom Panel Has The Micro-USB 3.0 Port, Which Is Larger Than The Standard Micro-USB 2.0 Port, You Are Used To Seeing In Other Devices, But Also Accept Existing Cables. There Is Also The Gate Of The Speaker On The Left And The Feather-Port That Keeps The S-Pen Safely. 


The S-Pen Is Similar In Style To Note 3, Which Is Made Of White Plastic And Metallic Color. It Is Very Comfortable To Use, And The Function Button Is Easy To Press And In An Ideal Location.

As Mentioned Earlier, The Back Cover Of The Galaxy Note 3 Can Be Removed, Exposing The Battery, Removable Micro-SD Card Slot And Sim Card Slot. The Removable Battery Is A Very Useful Feature For Some, But In Many Ways, It Becomes Annoying. Having To Produce Additional Plastic Housing To The Internal Components Of The Battery Itself And Makes The Greatest And Smaller Than Would Be Possible Otherwise Phone Battery. The Build Quality Also Tends To Suffer When A Removable Rear Panel Used.

Display

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Has To Do With The Screen. HDF Panel 5.7-inch Super Amoled Offers A Huge 89.6 Cm Square Screen Space 30% More Than A 5.0 Inch Screen Type That You Can Find On A Device Like The Galaxy S4. It Also Represents A Small Increase Of 7% In The Latest Generation Screen Of The Note, Which Is Not A Huge Amount, But Still Very Good Considering The Actual Size Of The Device Is Not Increased Accordingly.


The 5.7 Inch Screen Has A Resolution Of 1920 X 1080, Which Is The Standard For Most High-End Smartphones This Year, Especially Those With Larger Screens. Comes With A Pixel Density Of 386 PPI, Dense That You Will Not Be Able To Distinguish Individual Pixels On The Screen, Even Very Close To His Face. The 2.07 Million Pixels Crammed Into The Screen Makes Everything Look Very Strong , Especially The High-Resolution Images And Text, Where Jagged Edges Are A Non-Issue.

However, It Is Not Very Smooth Navigation Screen Galaxy Note 3 Because There Was A Slight Deterioration In Quality Compared To Note II. Where Super Amoled Act II Offered A S-Band (Strip RGB) Sub-Pixel Matrix, Note 3 Regressions Pentile Matrix. If You're Not Familiar With Matrix Display Pixel Pentile Matrix Layout In Your Note 3, Includes Lines Of Green Sub- Pixels With Alternating Red And Blue Sub- Pixels In The Middle. As It Is A Red, Blue And Green Sub-Pixel For Each Pixel Screen Note 3 Has A Lower Effective Resolution Than 1080P LCD, Which Uses The Upper Band RGB Subpixel Matrix Three.

The Lowest Effective Resolution Of The Super Amoled Note 3 Is Visible To A Trained Eye, But Simple Does Not Seem As Good As A LCD Competition. This Does Not Mean That The Screen 3 Rating Suffers From Poor Acuity Or Clarity - Is Still Very Good In Many Ways - But It's Not As Good As It Is Possible With Other Display Technologies. Pentile Matrix Is More Visible On The Edges Of The Text, Where Net Lines Are Not As Defined, But The Question Is Not As Pronounced As The First And Second Generation Amoled Panels.


Do You Notice The Quality Of The Screen Slightly Lower Due To The Matrix Pentile Sub-Pixel? Having Nothing To Compare It To, Probably Not, Especially Since The 1080P Resolution, It Is Very Difficult To Distinguish The Pixels Themselves. I Prefer A Matrix Band RGB For Additional Clarity, But It Is Far From The End Of The World.

An Amoled Panel Zone Which Can Only Be Achieved By The Technology Of The Liquid Crystal Display Is The Contrast Ratio. The Black Screen Look Stunning 3 Rating, And The Screen Is Physically When The Needs Of Blacks Is Due To The Absence Of Panel Construction Against The Light. The Black Level Of The Screen Is Able To Be Good, But Not Great: I Could Not Tell The Difference Between Five Squares On A Black 256 Standard Test Levels, Which Means A Small Amount Of Detail In Dark Scenes May Be Lost.


Whites Are Good 3 Amoled Note, However, There Was A Strong Demand For This Type Of Display. There Is A Slight Tendency To Color The Gray-Blue Screen, But Not As Much As Previous Models. Glitter Is Still Good, But Not Excellent, Trolling LCD Panels Last Generation Levels Of Maximum Brightness. Few Layers Of The Screen Consists Of Foreign Aid Significantly The Visibility, But Not Easy To See In Direct Sunlight, Especially If You Have A White Model Where The Bezel Reflects Much Light Panel.

Like Other Smartphones Galaxy Amoled - Packaging, There Are Four Display Modes To Choose Camera Settings: Dynamic, Standard, Professional Photographic And Cinematographic . The Default Setting Is To Have The Screen " Adapter" (Aka Choose The Setting For You Depending On Conditions) And In All Respects, It Looks Pretty Good, Although Typical Over-Saturated Amoled. Colors Pop And Images From Dynamic Look, But Certainly Not The Most Accurate To Keep Fit.

In The Default Setting, The Gamma Is Far (About 2.5 Instead Of The Standard 2.2) And Saturation Makes The Details And Nuances Of Color To Be Cut, Especially In The Red And Blue Channels. There Are Also Remarkable Color Groups When Looking At Gradients Full Spectrum, Which Can Not Be Solved By Changing The Display Mode.


Unfortunately, It Is Impossible To Simply Change The Display Mode And Solve Problems. Dynamic Mode Produces Accurate Gamma, But Makes Things Worse Supersaturation, While Movie Mode Shoots Dramatically In Saturation And Less Blue Is White, Gamma, But A Problem Developed. And It's Not The Only Problem, Such As The Establishment Of Note 3 Mode (Film) Display More Accuracy Makes The Operating System In General Appearance Very Annoying, Because Samsung Has Developed For Dynamic Amoled Panel.

The Viewing Angles Of The Fhd Super Amoled Are Very Good, As Always, With The Text Reading Off Essentially All Angles. There Is Very Little Change In Color Or Contrast To Adjust The Viewing Angle, Which Is Normal For Amoled And Fantastic As Always. The Lack Of Layers In The Composition Of The Screen Will Reduce The Reflectivity, So That You Can See The Screen, Even In The Presence Of Bright Windows.


Overall, The Galaxy Note Screen 3 Is Dynamic Conditions And Saturated By Default (If Inaccurate) And The Large Amount Of Screen Space Is Ideal For Work And Consumption Of Media Writing. The Display 1080P High Guard But Not The Greatest I've Found, Both The Size And The Matrix Pentile Panel. I Am Not Convinced Amoled Panels Are The Best Option, Especially Since Lcd Offers Are So Hard These Days, But The Panel Galaxy Note 3 Packs Enough Quality To Satisfy Most Buyers.

Software Features & Prints

Prepare Yourself For One Of The Heavier Skins You Can Find In A Smartphone. Samsung Never Ceases To Amaze How Much Bloatware And Other Junk Can Be Filled In The Software, All With Visual Changes Useless Completely Useless. Of Course, There Are Some Gems To Be Found Here And There, It Is Worth Mentioning Too.

If You Used A Galaxy Device In Recent Years, It Is Likely To Be Very Familiar With The Design Of Samsung's Touchwiz Custom Skin. Instead Of Using The Stock Android Look And Feel, Samsung Has Done A Good By Removing The Skin, Go With The Most Dark Backgrounds, Shades Of Blue And Green Hues. Compared To Other Users And The Development Of Stock Android Interface, Touchwiz Begins To Look Rather Dated.


Despite The Size Of The Larger Screen, Most Of The Software Aspects Of The Galaxy Note 3 Are Identical To The Galaxy S4. The Home Screen Is A Standard 4x4 Grid With A Row Of Four Interchangeable Applications In The Dock, And As Always, There Are A Variety Of Widgets Made ​​by Samsung To Use, Many Of Which Are Quite Large And Will Dominate The Panel Display Are Home. These Days I Find Less Widgets, Preferring To Go Directly To The Corresponding Application, But Some Widgets (Like S Planner) Does Provide A Lot Of Information At A Quick Glance.

The Notification Panel Includes A Wide Range Of Parameters In A Horizontal Panel Fast Moving, With A Bar Of Light That Enables You To Sharpen Your Screen Level With Relative Ease. Network Indicators, Removed In Android 4.4, Still In The Status Bar, And There Is Also The Possibility Of Placing A Battery Percentage Next To The Graphical Battery Indicator, Which Is Essential To Keep Accurate Records Their Remaining Life.


Configuring The Galaxy Note 3 Is A Whole Number Of "Features" Of Your Smartphone Discharge. Here You Will Find All The Controls To Deal With Functions Of Motion Detection, Most Of Which Are Extremely Fanciful And Discharge Of The Battery. During My Use Of The Phone, No Gestures Of Air (Hovering Your Hand Over The Proximity Sensor) And Subjective Characteristics Of Air (Placing The Finger/Stylus On The Screen) Proved To Be Useful At All, In Fact, I Probably Gained Time Access To Information Through Traditional Taps Screen Instead Of Trying To Get Gestures To Work.

Motion Controls Are Another Thing, Because Often Forgotten Existed. It Seems Much Easier To Pause The Music By Pressing The Pause Button On The Screen, Instead Of Turning The Unit On, So You Bother With Motion Controls During The Test. Most Detection Features Elegant Eyes Of The Screen Are Also Unnecessary, In Particular (Based Movement Of The Eyes) "Smart Scroll", Which Only Works In Two Applications (E-Mail And Browser) And Works Exceptionally Bad.


However, Some Camera Settings Are Really Useful. Increased Sensitivity To Touch Is Ideal For Cold Winter Days That Require The Use Of Gloves, And There Are Many Ways To Customize Things Like The Led Indicator, Touch Time Highlighting And Even Intensity Vibration. Unfortunately, The Phone Makes A Lot Of Noise At The Box Keyboard, Which Is Very Annoying, Not Only For The User But Also For Anyone In The Vicinity. Ask A Priority Disable All Sounds After The Introduction Of The Device.

For Serious Multitasking, Samsung Has Built A Range Of Features That Extends The Standard Android Multitasking Experience. You Can Always Keep The Home Button To Access The Switching Of The Application, But Also Has The Ability To Long Press The Return Key To Access The Multi-Window Applications. From There, You Can Drag And Drop Applications That Take Half Of The Screen, Similar To What Was Seen In The Previous Galaxy Note.

You Can Not Have Two Applications On The Screen At Once, And There Are Only A Few Third Party Applications That Are Supported, But The Experience Is Largely Fluid. The Ability To Change The Window Size Is Useful When An Application To Be Bigger Than The Other Is Necessary, But Do Not Expect Many More Features. Some Applications, Like The Video Player And Action Memo, Floating Windows Support, Most Other Applications Just Fit Half Of The Screen.

Configuring The Operation Of A Hand Back To The Big Screen Galaxy Note 3, Some Improvements Here And There That Really Makes It Worth Using. L-Shaped Sliding From The Edge Of The Screen To The Edge Will Minimize A Window Resizable Applying Smaller, It Is Easier To Manage If You're Stuck With The Note In Hand. Other Configurations Can Be Activated Simply Reduce The Size Of The Keyboard, Or A Computer, For Example.

Two Other Features Included In The Galaxy 3 Tips Are Widely Note: S Voice Is Too Difficult To Use If You Speak Slowly, Clearly And Without A Funny Accent, While The Handwriting Recognition Is Still Slower And Less Accurate Than If You Simply Typed. Overall, The Supply Of Samsung Keyboard Is Quite Poor, With Keys That Are Too Small And Self-Correction Which Is Surprisingly Disabled By Default. I Recommend You Go To SwiftKey Or One Of The Many Alternatives Available In The Store Thurs.

Many Standard Applications Included In Note 3 Skins Simple AOSP Applications, With Little (If Any) Features Are Introduced. The Messaging Application Always Comes With A Range Of Design And Color Atrocious, S Planner Is Busier Than Ever, Contacts Is A Lower Version Of Vanilla Gallery Application Is The Skin, And A Strangely Manufactured By Samsung Internet Application Included With Chrome.

And Then Comes The Bloatware. Includes Out Of The Box On The Galaxy Note 3 Is Samsung Apps, Samsung Music Hub And Samsung Hub Applications, All Of Which Are Poor Alternatives To Google Play Services. History Album Is A Shortcut To Install An Application That Is Not Yet Included In The Device, Such As S Translator. The More You'll Be Provided With A Number Of Applications For Your Region/Carrier That Nobody Really Wants On The Computer First.

Credit Where Credit Is Due Though. S Health Is A Fitness Tracker Reasonable Shape, Watchon Is Very Useful For Controlling Infrared Led TVS Included, And Samsung Link/S Manga/Mirror Screen Group Play/Introduce New Ways To Share Content With Other Devices. The Use Of Music Is Also Very Impressive, With A Grid-based And Easy To Use EQ, And The Place Of Music To Play Songs That Have Certain Moods.

My Diary Is The Last Function That I'm Talking About. Accessible Via Drag From The Bottom Of The Screen, Or By Pressing The Home Button While On The Home Screen, The Application Adds News, Information And Updates From Social Networks Of Similarly To The Htc Blinkfeed. The Application Looks Good And Works Well, But I've Never Found Using, Preferring To Go Directly To The Applications Of Interest To See Social Updates, Or Positions In An Application Rss Feeds For The Latest News. 

The Software On The Galaxy Note 3 Is What I Expected: Pretty Ugly, Incredibly Inflated, But Still Loaded With A Number Of Interesting And Useful Features Here And There. Most Of Goodness Manifested In The Form Of The S-pen, But I'll Cover In The Next Section.

The S-Pen

Perhaps The Most Emblematic Element Included With Each Note Galaxy 3 Is The S-Pen, Which Slots Perfectly Into The Bottom Of The Unit. The S-Pen Stylus Is Passive, Only With Note 3, With A Special Sensitive Digitizer Pressure That Is Built Into The Display Module. In General, The Stylus Is Comfortable To Use, Sporting A Single Button For Additional Functionality. 

When The Stylus Is Removed From Its Location (Or By Pressing The S-Pen Button At Any Time While The Pen Is Hovering Over The Flight Screen) A Circular Popup Air Command Appears. When You Hover Over The Window You Can See Five Different Options, I'll Go Through Them One By One Below.

Action Memo Is The First Option: A Note Floating Window With More Features Than Seen In The Floating Window S Note The Galaxy Note II. The Only Input Method Is Through The Needle, But After Writing Something Down Quickly, Is Easy To Highlight The Text, Then Perform An Action. For Example, If You Write A Phone Number, You Can Select The Number In Few Taps Is Called. Or, You Can Enter An Address, Select It, And Soon You'll Be Looking In Maps. 

The Application Is One Of The Most Useful In The Range Of Galaxy Note Software, Making The Best Use Of Your Stylus. Notes Can Also Be Saved For Later In The Full Application Note Action In Case You Need To Access It Later.

The Second Option Is The Scrapbook, Where You Can Draw Around The Items You See On The Screen And Save Them In Your Notebook For Later Review. The Idea Behind This Is That You May Be Looking On The Web For Your Favorite Film (For Example), Looking For Fresh Content On Various Websites, And Keep Parts Of It (e.g Images) On An Album For The Film. I Never Found Particularly Useful Feature, But It Works Very Well Could Be Interesting To Use.

The Third Option Is The Entry Screen That Will Be Familiar If You've Used A Galaxy Note Before . In Short, The Recording Option Has A Screen That You Can Write And Set Aside Capture. If You Want To Capture Only A Small Part Of The Screen Instead Of A Whole, Instead Of Using The Write Screen You Can Hold Down The S-Pen And Draw Around What You Want To Capture, Then There Are A Few Options To Save The Screenshot.

S Finder Is The Fourth Option, And It's Just A Shortcut To The Application. In This Application, You Can Search The Phone Via The Keyboard (It Is Preferable To Use Google Search), Or Search Through The Recognition Of Handwriting. Normally I Would Not Bother To Use This Application To Everyone, Especially The Recognition Of Handwriting Is Slower Than Typing, But You Can Search Wolfram Alpha For Handwritten Formulas, Which Can Be Useful. 

The Last Option You Have Is To Pen Window, An Expanded Version Of Floating Windows That Are Drawn On The Screen Dictate The Size Of The Window. Such As Multi-window Applications, There Are Limited Uses Of The Window Of The Pen, But Some (Like The Calculator) Are Very Useful.

The Last Feature Relevant S-Pen I Mean Is S Note, Which Remains One Of The Best Note Taking Apps I've Used. While Taking Quick Note Memo Moved To Action, If You Prepare For A Long Session Of Taking Notes (At A Conference, For Example), Look No Further, S Note, Especially That It Is Compatible With All Popular Third Party Application Evernote.

S Note Comes With An Incredible Range Of Features. Input And Keyboard Typing Basic Writing And Annotations Are Compatible - With A Number Of Controls For Each - Plus You Can Also Add A Variety Of Items, Including Images, Videos, Audio, Graphics/Charts, Charts, Clip Art, Sketches, Maps And More. And Once You Have Inserted Text Or Graphics, There Are Many Options Ranging From Manipulation Of The Size And Style Controls, A Button You Can Convert Handwriting Into Formulas.

Individual Books With The Support Of Paging, So That Each Subject Or Area Of Their Work Can Be Presented In A Separate Notebook. The Application Interface Is Very Easy To Get Used To, And It Is Easy To Switch Between The Display And Editing Of Notes, Especially With The Stylus. It Is Clear That Samsung Has Put A Lot Of Resources In Improving The Application S Note, As It Is Better Than Any Previous Iteration Was In The Notes Of The Galaxy. 

Additional Features That The S-pen Brings To The Table Is Better Than It Was In The Past, Once Again Proof That Samsung Is The Leader When It Comes To Phones, The Big Screen With Support Stylus. If You Buy In Note 3 Stylus, You Will Not Be Disappointed.

Performance: Exynos Vs. Snapdragon

After Several Weeks Of Attempts, I Managed To Get Both Variants Qualcomm Snapdragon And Samsung Exynos In The Galaxy Note 3 Of The Section Of The Performance Review. Similar To What We Saw With The Galaxy S4, The Two Versions For Different Markets For Snapdragon LTE (SM-N9005 ), Exynos And Hspa+ Only (SS-N900 ). In Addition To Differences In Radios, However, Expect Significant Differences In Many Aspects Of The Internal Hardware.

Qualcomm Model Uses The Proven 800 Msm8974 Snapdragon Propulsion, Which Has A Quad-Core Krait Cpu 2.26ghz 400, Adreno 330 Gpu At 450 Mh , 600 Mhz Dsp Qdsp6v5a Hexagon, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 And Gps+ Glonass Gen8b Izzat. There Is Also A Double Lpddr3 Channel Memory Controller That Connects With 3 Gb Of Ram, Which Provides A Bandwidth Of Approximately 12.8 Gb/S.

I Spoke Snapdragon 800 In Some Of My Previous Comments Devices - For G2 Lg, Sony Xperia Z Ultra, Sony Xperia Z1 And Google Nexus 5 - It Is Better To Go Back And Check For More Details On The Soc.

The Exynos Model Is In Many Ways More Interesting To Discuss Device. The Last Time I Used A Hspa+ Device Exynos Was The Only Model Galaxy S4, And There Were Several Issues That Were Not Only Considered With Respect To 600 Snapdragon Model. A Slower Summer, The Worst Battery Life, And Lacked Some Of The Reviews The Characteristics Of The Camera And Connectivity.

The Galaxy Note 3 Sm- N900 Does Not Use The Same Exynos Soc May 5410 Octa The Galaxy S4, However, Instead Of Packing The Updates Exynos 5 Octa 5420. It Is Still Built On The Same Basis Big.little Arm - Quad-core Arm Cortex- A15 Cpu 1.9 Ghz Quad-core Arm Cortex - A7 1.3 Ghz - But It Still Lacks The Key To Integrating Multiple Heterogeneous Processing (HMP).

What Is The Good Of PGH? The Exynos Galaxy S4 (And Also Footnote 3), It Was Only Possible To Use A Set Of Processor Cores At Once. If The Driver Wanted To Change Core A7 To Conserve Energy A15s High Performance (Imagine The Transition From Music Played Browsing The Internet ), It Would Be Necessary To Turn The A15 Group, Migration Of The Task, And Then Stop The A7 Cluster. The Whole Process Took Precious Time, And The Galaxy S4 Was Significantly Lag When I Needed To Migrate Between Groups.

HMP Completely Ditches The Cluster Migration Model Allowing All Eight Cores To Run Simultaneously. Playing Music Is Loaded A7 Cores, Web Browsing Is Responsible For A15s, Any Necessary Conversion Without Significant Delay. Model PGH Is The Ideal Application Of Big.Little Arm, As It Not Only Provides More Processing Power And Flexibility, But A Better Power Management. For Us, The End Users Should Be Aware Of A Faster Processor And Better Battery Life.

Unfortunately, While The Exynos 5420 Supports PGH Has Not Been Enabled On The Galaxy Note 3 Because Of Concerns The Thermal Envelope. This Is Very Disappointing To Hear, However, The Technique Of Cluster Migration Has Improved Somewhat, Removing The Delay Tasks Notable That The Transition From One Group To Another.

Moreover CPU Configuration Set, The GPU Has Been Updated Since The PowerVR Sgx544mp3 The Mp6 Mali - T628, Clocked At 480 Mhz, Somewhere Around Providing A (Paper) To Double The Graphics Performance. 14.9 It Is Also A Slightly Faster Dual Channel Memory Controller Lpddr3e Gb/S (Also Paired With 3gb Of Ram).

Intelligent Connectivity, The Exynos 5 Octa Falls Behind Snapdragon 800, Packing A 42 Mbps Hspa+ (Not LTE). However, There Is Still The Usual 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC And Gps + Glonass.

Everything Is Fine To Talk About The Hardware Specification Of The Two 3S Galaxy Note, But So Far I Have Not Considered How You Actually Perform Both Devices. A Difference With The Galaxy S4, Where There Was A Significant Difference Between The Two Models, Both Exynos And Snapdragon Note 3 Variants Works Extremely Well. Like Any Other Flagship Phone 2013, The Soc Can Handle Any Task Thrown At It, Web Browsing Using The Application.

GB Of Additional Ram (Compared To Other High-end Android Phones) Allows A Greater Number Of Applications That Are Stored In The Background, More Or Less Is The Reasoning Behind Its Inclusion Samsung. I Have Not Really Noticed A Big Difference Between The Galaxy Note And 3 Other High End Phones Multi-Task With Only 2GB Of Ram Performance. He Loading Applications From Scratch Is Extremely Fast And The Exynos Or Snapdragon 5 800 Octa, If The Additional Ram Is Just Shave A Few Milliseconds When Accessing Legacy Applications Used Previously.

Gaming Performance Is Also Very Good For Both Galaxy Note Models. Snapdragon Variant Seems To Have A Slight Advantage Over The Exynos Variant, But Both Offer Great Performance In The Best 3d Titles In The Google Play Store. There Was Not A Single Moment When The Note Is Too Lazy To Play, Even When Rendered At 1080p, Which Is Exactly What You Want To See.

What We Do Not Want To See Is The Reference Of Deception, Which Is Exactly What Samsung Did With The Two Models Of Galaxy Note 3. On The Benchmarks We Run, 3DMark And Vellamo Are Affected In This Special Code In The Software System Requires The CPU To Run At Full Speed Reference, Regardless Of The Load. This Kind Of Practice Is Very Reliable And Designed To Inflate Performance Synthesis Device, So Keep That In Mind When Looking At The Next Reference.

In Peacekeeper, Which Runs In The Browser Settings (Internet Application), Note 3 Snapdragon Powered Saw A Significant Speed Advantage Compared To Exynos Model. With Four More Hearts Clock Frequency (2.26 Ghz Against 1.9 Ghz), The SM-N9005 Was 33% Faster.

In Vellamo, The Performance Difference Is Less Important. The Html5 Test Designed To Simulate Web Browsing, Snapdragon Note 3 Was 6% Faster. The Difference Between The Two Models Is Negligible In The Tip Of The Metal, Which Examines The Performance Of Many Aspects Of The Reference Device.

When Comparative Graphics Performance Analysis, The Snapdragon Model Was 29% Faster In 3dmark And Gfxbench 8% Faster. This Is The Same Type Of Small Performance Space, We Have Seen With The Exynos And Snapdragon S4 Variants Of The Galaxy.

For The First Time On A Mobile Device I've Reviewed, The Galaxy Note 3 Includes A Microusb 3.0 Port On The Bottom Edge, Which Means That You Can Transfer From Your Pc And Much Faster Than Other Devices. The Connector Itself Is Big And A Little Clumsy - Usually Only Used In Portable Hard Drives - But It Is Certainly The Case, Allowing You To Transfer Data Faster Than Usb 2.0 Internal Nand Twice. Interestingly, The Usb 3.0 Is Not Enabled By Default When Connecting The Note To A Compatible Pc, But Clicking On The Usb Icon In The Notification Panel Shows The Option.

Although Not Included In My Opinion As We Have Seen Above, The Inclusion Of Usb 3.0 Also Speeds Up Transfers To And From The Microsd Card, If You Have A High Performance. Copy A Selection Of Music From My 32 Gb Class 10 Microsd To My Pc Was About 1.5 Times Faster With The Galaxy Note 3 Usb 3.0 Option, With Write Speeds Remain More Or Less The Same (In Due To The Limitations Of Microsd Performance).

I Had No Problem With The Performance Of The Mobile Network, Reaching Around 14 Mbps On Hspa+ Or Up To 25 Mbps Downstream Optus Lte. The Signal Appears To Be Very Good, Probably Helped By The Inclusion Of A Greater Size Of The Antenna Because Of The Greater Phone. Unfortunately, I Have Not Been Able To Test 802.11ac Wi-Fi In The SM- N9005, But If Wi-Fi Dual Band N Was Pretty Quick. I Also Found Problems With Bluetooth, Gps And Nfc, Who All Worked As Advertised.

Both Exynos And Snapdragon Models Are Capable Of Encoding And Decoding 1080p Playback Without Stuttering With Your Blu-Ray Tears. Snapdragon Model Has A One-Up, As It Can Also Decode 4k Ultra HD Content, But The Lack Of Widespread Availability Of This Content Means That This Function Is For Future Improvements Than Anything Else.

Overall, I Was Very Impressed With The Performance Of Both Galaxy Note 3 Models. Snapdragon 800 Flexes Its Muscles Again, Topped The Charts In Both The Cpu And Gpu, Exynos 5 Octa But No Slouch Either. Some Changes Seem To Have Solved All The Problems Of Stuttering Performance + A7 A15 Big.little Hmp Continues Despite Disappeared, And There Is Not Much Noticeable Difference In Performance In Real World Use To Compare Exynos Snapdragon.

I Still Prefer The Snapdragon Model (If Possible), Due To The Inclusion Of Lte, 4k Encoding/Decoding And Free Wi-Fi 802.11ac, But This Time Both Are Close Enough To The Owners Exynos Are Not Huge Disadvantage.

Camera & Video Quality

As Expected, Samsung Has Re Camera Module For S4 Galaxy Galaxy Note 3. What You Get Is A 13 Megapixel Exmor Sony Imx135 Rs Rear Illuminated Sensor 1/3.06" cmos 1.12 M Module Pixels And A 31mm F/2.2 Lens (Effective). No Optical Stabilization Image (OIS), Which Undoubtedly Affects Images In Low Light, And The Rear Camera Is Coupled To A Unit Facing The Front Of 2 Megapixels.

In Good Lighting Conditions, The Results Of The Camera Note 3 Are Fantastic With A Solid Color Reproduction, The Balance Of Precise And Relatively Good Dynamic White. As Cultures Show High-resolution Images Are Strong Enough, If A Little Overly Processed, And Usually Without Grain. The F/2.2 Lens Can Focus As Close To The Style Of Macro Images Are Possible, But The Bokeh Is Just Average, So Do Not Expect Amazing Results.

When Conditions Become Less Than Ideal (Inside, On Cloudy Days, Artificial Lighting), Note 3 Remains A Reasonable Artist. The Colors Are Still Fairly Accurate, But A Little Less Dynamic, Sometimes Images Can Be Washed, But The Contrast Is Generally Good Enough. As Smartphones Go, The Camera Note 3 In Moderate Lighting Conditions, It Is One Of The Best I've Used, But Not Yet Perfect.

Samsung Has Made ​​some Adjustments To The Operation Of The Camera Software Low Brightness To Compensate For The Lack Of Optical Image Stabilization. When You Take A Photo In Low Light, A Dialog Box That Says "Processing" Is Displayed. Although I'm Not Entirely Sure What Happens Behind The Scenes, I Think It Takes A Burst Of Fire, With Automatic Selection Software (Then Improve And Post-treatment) After The Sharpest Image.

Adjusted Software Seems To Work Quite Well, With Most Of The Pictures I've Taken In Low Light Is Very Strong, Despite The Absence Of Pixel Sensors Ois And Small. However, It Is Clear That You Use A High Iso Sensitivity, Masked By Noise Reduction Very Serious Greatly Reducing The Effective Image Resolution. You Do Not Have To See The Full Resolution Images To See Reduced Quality In Low Light, Especially In The Black Areas, Where Objects Are Immediately Obvious.

Adding Ois In A Future Software Model Would Allow The Camera To Use A Slower And Lower Iso Shutter Speed, Resulting In Better Devices Like The Nokia Lumia Upscale Images.


By Default, The Galaxy Note 3 Megapixels 4:09 P.m. 9 Homes Cropped Images (Which Are Most Of The Examples In This Section), But This Can Be Extended To Full 13-4:03 Megapixel Images In The Camera Settings. 4:09 P.m. The Images Fill The Screen When You Look Later, But If You Want The Extra Resolution Up And Down, It Is Better To Change To 4:03.

As The Galaxy S4, There Is A Wide Range Of Camera Functions In The Application To Explore. Many Of These Features Are Based On The Burst Mode: Best Picture, You Can Select An Image Burst Shooting Better Face Takes Five Shots And Stitches On The Upper Side; Drama Takes A Blast Shooting An Object Movement And Mergers Images; Eraser Can Remove Moving Objects From The Background Of An Image, And Golf Take A Quick Breath Of A Golf Swing. 


Animated Photo Is A Photo Mode Where You Can Create Fixed /Moving Hybrid Imagery And Cool Gif & Sound Plan Adds A Short Audio Clip To An Image. There Are Two Firing Modes - Panoramic Views And Surround (Aka Photo Sphere) - They Are Very Easy To Use, Plus There Is A Wide Range Of Effects/Filters That Can Be Applied In Real Time To Take Pictures.

Many Of These Methods Of Shooting Are Good For A Time Of New Images, But Most Will Be Shot In Automatic Mode Or Rich Mode Fantastic Tone (hdr). High Dynamic Range (hdr) Are Composite Pictures Of The Scene In Several Exhibitions, And The Galaxy Note 3 Is One Of The Best Ways I've Seen Hdr. If You Take A Picture Of A Scene With High Contrast And Shadows, Hdr Image Will Be More Amount Of Detail Visible In Standard Automatic Mode, Which Makes The Shooting Mode Perfect For When You Can Not Not Obtain Exposure Quite Right.

Registration Is Limited To Ultra Hd Snapdragon Model, But 48 Mbps H.264 High Profile And A Resolution Of 3840 X 2160, The Results Are Fantastic. Especially When Downscaling 1080p Video, The Clarity You Gain From Running In Ultra Hd, Although Limited To Five Minutes Of Shooting With Large Files, Is Impressive. Color Reproduction Is Similar To What You Get From Still Images, And Sound Quality Is Also Very Good.

If You Do Not Want To Shoot In Hd Ultra, Or If You Purchased The Exynos Model, The Galaxy Note 3 Also Supports 60 Frames Per Second Shooting 1080p Video, Similar To The Lg G2. Shooting Mode, With The Label Control Smooth Movement Offers Videos Without Stuttering, But The Share Of Total Quality Becomes Difficult When Sites Like Youtube Only Support A Maximum Of 30 Fps Video.


Two Other Modes Include Fast Motion, Like Video Recording Time-Lapse And Slow Motion. I Always Find The Recording Incredibly Fun And Compelling Slowed And The Galaxy Note 3 Supports Up To 120 Frames Per Second In 720p. The Quality Of Each Image Recorded At Idle Is Not As Good As I Get When Recording In 720p30, But It Is Nevertheless An Interesting Role To Play. If You Want To Go Slower Than 120 Fps, The Note Does Not Support Recording Slower Than Real Life 8x (240 Fps), But Reading Is Only 15 Fps.

Battery Life, Wrap Up

Until The Lg G2 Came A Few Months Ago, The Samsung Galaxy Note Ii Had Held The Crown In Our Battery Life Test Abstract. I Expect Such A Good Performance Of The Galaxy Note Battery 3, You See A Slight Increase In The Size Of The Battery, 11.78 Wh To 12.16 Wh (3200Mah 3.8V). Are Both Exynos 5420 Soc Snapdragon 800 And More Efficient Than The Exynos 4412 Used In The Galaxy Note II, Which Should Also Make Improvements Resistance.

During My Time Using Both Exynos And Snapdragon Galaxy Note 3 Variants, The Battery We Had Was Very Good. Despite The Amoled Screen Of 5.7 Inches In Size, For General Use, I Usually Prefer About Half The Juice Left In The Battery After Using One Day. Especially In Wi-Fi, Both Models Seem To Be Very Energy Efficient, Which Could Reasonably Be Expected To Navigate Site For 10 Hours On Wi-Fi, Which Would Be A Fantastic Result.


When The Powerful Quad-Core Processor And High-End GPU Must Turn, And Intensive 3D Games, The Life Of The Battery Decreases Significantly As You Would On Any Other Portable Device. If You Plan To Use The Note 3 As A Handheld Titles Console Games Like Gta: San Andreas, You Could Probably Get About Six Hours Of Solid Use, At Best, My Usage Patterns Spells Game I Did In The Unit.

As Our Battery Life Test Synthesis, Galaxy Note N9005 Sm-3 (800 Snapdragon Model) Topped The List By Offering A Little More Than 15 Hours Of Reading, Dethroning The Lg G2. Meanwhile, The Exynos Note 3 Performs Even Admirable, Lasting Almost The Same Time As The Galaxy Note Ii.

Snapdragon Model Delivered 20% Better Battery Life Than The Exynos Model, Which May Seem A Lot, But Remember That The Model Snapdragon S4 Galaxy Was A Full 43% Before When I Tried It Earlier This Year, Samsung Shows That The Gap Is Narrowing. Screen Large Competitors Like The Sony Xperia Z Ultra Does Not Really Stand A Chance Against The Note, The SM-N9005 Lasted More Than Twice The Sony Case.
