Samsung presents Galaxy Note 3 with leather back - ZDNet.nl

Summary: , the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 shown to the world. Faster chip, bigger screen, more features, and especially with leather back.

Samsung has its annual Unpacked event for IFA devils are dissolved. Three products: Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition, Gear Galaxy and Galaxy Note 3. The latter we see something closer.

Leather Finish

What immediately stands out is the leather back. Finally the cheap plastic makes way for a premium feel. The back is full of leather, with some stitching around the edge. This slide the Note 3 less in your hand, and he is a lot more durable. In my eyes a hit.

To ensure that you find a Note 3 to your liking, you can still buy the next pink, white and black color extra optional covers in other colors. Samsung has just left is accompanied by Moschino and Nicholas Kirkwood.

Full HD

As expected, there is a 1080p screen, more specifically a Full HD Super AMOLED screen. There is no plus behind, so we speak of a pentile screen. Usually a disadvantage, but because the density is so high (386 PPI), there is little to say on the screen. From every angle the colors look equally from saturated, as known to AMOLED screens.

size, 5.68 inch to be specific, is only marginally larger than the 5.5 inches of its predecessor. Because the bezel around the screen reduced the footprint of the Note 3 barely bigger than the Note II. Also in terms of weight I can feel little difference between them.

Dual chip

Following the Galaxy S4 gets the Note 3, two different chips, depending on the need for 4G or not. In Belgium and the Netherlands will likely the 4G version appear on the market, including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 (same as in the Acer Liquid LG G2 and S2). A powerful chip with four cores clocked at 2.3 GHz.

Is there no 4G available, you get a Note 3 to choose an Exynos chip from Samsung. It is a copy octocore, where four 1.9 GHz A15 ARM cores and four A7-efficient ARM cores in tandem work together. In the event I can not benchmark, both devices next to each other so it is to be seen how big the difference is between the two chips.

Android 4.3

Samsung

there is the habit of shipping. every new flagship with the latest version of Android That is no different this time with Android 4.3. Of course Samsung throws its own rind exhibited many similarities with the Galaxy S4.

everything to run smoothly, Samsung throws a solid 3 GB RAM in Note 3. The highest amount of RAM in a smartphone so far, to say the least impressive. 2 GB RAM was not already enough? Probably, but Samsung has taken the liberty to give extra against the heavy competition.

No stabilization

the back you’ll find a relatively ‘standard’ 13 megapixel camera with no optical image stabilization. Remarkably, for other brands like HTC, Nokia and LG choose of that. Where Samsung too bad ‘stoeft’, is the ability to film. 4K-quality Nice to know, but outside of the iPad, there are few high-resolution screens available, let alone 4K TVs. Keep in mind: the 3G model with the Samsung Exynos chip does not support 4K. In addition, Samsung claims to have the rest better LED flash:. HCRO a LED

It seems the trend of the moment: sound. After the LG G2 proudly announced that the UHQA supports 24 bit 192 kHz audio quality, the Note 3 follows in the list. You do not hear that sound quality especially with the included earphones, but through your stereo receiver or headphones qualitative difference would be.

noticeable

Knox

Note 3, the first device that Knox is installed by default. This should ensure that the Galaxy handsets from Samsung are welcome in a corporate world. Soon it will also get the Galaxy S4 Knox update.

Note 3 maintains its focus on the S-pen, but this time with an even more comprehensive software suite. Since I’m in another article a bit deeper in, as well as the specific features of the new software Note 3.

Autonomy

The Galaxy Note II is tentatively one of the very best performing smartphones in terms of autonomy, and that it has primarily due to its 3,100 mAh battery. In Note 3 is a 3200 mAh copy, which means that the autonomy should be something better. See what a test in practice gives soon.

There, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 shown to the world. It has become not earth-shattering device, but in terms of specifications he competes again bring the Android speed crown. The Note 3 shows why Samsung believes in a smartphone with a large screen, yet can break with the classic ‘plastic’ look. A potential hit.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is available from September 25 in Belgium and the Netherlands in three colors: Jet Black, Blush Pink and White Classic. The price is still unclear.
