Hands-on: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is pleasant evolution - Nutech

Galaxy Note 3 has a larger screen than its predecessor, also. full-hd The new design fits better with the name. Yet are the biggest innovations to the software side.

For Samsung state technology fair IFA in Berlin for three years in the sign of the Galaxy Note. The two previous versions of the phablet were revealed in the German capital and the Note 3 have been presented this week.

The biggest visible change is the screen. Where the previous two models it had to do with up to 1280 by 800 pixels, the Note 3 a full-HD display with resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.

Super AMOLED screen with a pixel density of 386 ppi therefore very sharp. As always with Samsung colors are quite saturated and pronounced. This is further highlighted by colorful default background, the colors. Really the screen

Although the housing of the Note 3 is still in plastic, you find that in practice none the less. The standard rear of the Note 3 is namely one of soft faux leather.

That feels pretty nice to, the leather is not too stiff and not too smooth and plastic feel of devices like the Galaxy S4 is actually absent in Note 3.

HANDS-ON GALAXY NOTE 3

The back is a clear reference to a leather notebook. On the side of the device that is by design. The ribbed edge of Note 3 appears on the side of a notebook and provides a bit more grip than the smooth edge of the Note II.

That, together with the leather back Note that 3 is a lot more confident in your hand. Great when you use the hand with a giant phone.

Despite the notebook design, the Note due to the supplied stylus his name. He’s still stuck in the back, but now has more options.

example, users with the S-Pen in virtually any app and anywhere calls the Air Command menu on the screen. For that you keep the button pressed and the stylus pen just above the screen to hang. Then displays a menu with some options.

In the beginning it is quite difficult to conjure, the menu because it does not work when the tip of the S-Pen touches the image. Once mastered there are five options in the menu.

Action Memo allows users to create a handwritten note on the screen, which is then converted to plain text. automatically by Note 3 For example, you write by hand on a phone, then that can be dialed immediately.

Scrapbook acts in turn as a sort of pocket. When the S-Pen somewhere draws a circle around it, that text, image or video stored in your Scrapbook, flat as formatted text.

Screenwriter allows users to create notes on a screen shot of their current screen, and S Finder searches the entire phone quickly.

The most notable of the five functions, however, is what I’m concerned Pen Window. This allows users of the app they are using to draw a rectangle.

This rectangle can then be filled with plenty of apps such as a calculator or Youtube, but also the browser. The window is then drag around the screen while the underlying app remains usable.

The shape and size of apps that take your Pen Window drawn to, and give a good sense of multitasking. This also could be, because the big screen of the Galaxy Notes was not always used optimally in the past.

True multitasking, turning two apps side by side, can also with the Note 3. Samsung calls the Multi Window function, and it is equally out how that works.

The fact is quite hidden in the message center of the phone. Once enabled, users can for example while their browser open half filling the screen with another app like Whatsapp.

Therefore, the Samsung-drawn menu, where you can. chosen from all apps from the left side of the screen With two windows side by side, it is possible text and images from one dragging.

In the center of the screen is now a blue line with a dot in the middle. By that point to grip and wiping can be allocated between the two apps on screen easily changed.

to run smoothly during the big Note 3 features like Multi Window, the device enters the European market a 2.3 GHz quad-core Snapdragon chip 800.

Perhaps to show where such a processor is capable of, the 3 Note also the strange feature Multivision. This video can be spread. Across the screens of multiple Notes 3 The function is started by NFC.
