Samsung Galaxy Note 3 vs Galaxy S4

Last year proved to be momentous for Samsung – the company that
delivered a couple of smartphones that changed the dynamics of Android
world, putting it somewhat near the Apple iPhone.
This year, Samsung was expected to deliver even more, the best.
Samsung’s heavily rumored Galaxy S4 debuted in March this year, proving
to be a solid successor of the acclaimed Galaxy S3. Samsung Galaxy S4 replaced the Galaxy S3 as the company’s flagship smartphone.

However, Galaxy S4 is not the only flagship that Samsung would be
worried about. In 2012, along with SGS3, Samsung managed to get heads
turned with an upgrade of its Galaxy Note series too. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 was enthusiastically received and enjoyed by the fAndroiders. Since Samsung Galaxy S4 has managed to live up to the expectations of the Galaxy S3 pool, the question arises how well would Galaxy Note 3 do as compared to its predecessor.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has got a
excessively charged up stage though. It would not only be compared to
Galaxy Note 2, but would also be expected to put up a good fight against Samsung Galaxy S4. It would actually be history
repeated from 2012 for Samsung, since shoppers would be looking to
either get a Galaxy S4 or the Galaxy Note 3, when it hits the market
later this year. This is the reason, why after putting up a detailed
piece that contrasted the Galaxy Note 3 (majorly from rumors and
expectations) with Galaxy Note 2, we have decided to contrast Samsung
Galaxy Note 3 vs Galaxy S4 to help our readers in choosing their
smartphone of the year.

The Samsung Galaxy S series started from a 4.3 inch display and boasted the screen size
to 5 inches with Galaxy S4 launched this year. Likewise, Samsung Galaxy
Note was launched with a 5.3 inch screen (since it’s a phablet), and
Note 2 arrived last year with a 5.5 inches display. Considering these
trends and rumors arising up, it is very likely that Note 3 will sport
even a larger display – somewhere around 5.7-inches.

The larger display size of Galaxy Note is actually because of its S
Pen, taking the benefit of larger size. The Galaxy S4 brought the
Samsung’s lineup to 1080p displays. It is certain that Note 3 would be a
beneficiary of this improvement
as well. With higher pixel-per-inch counts, the content would look and
read better. Goes same for both these Galaxy devices.

Although Samsung did announce its offer of storage availability in
16GB, 32GB and 64GB variants, only two carriers – AT&T and Verizon –
actually announced the 16GB and 32GB models. Other carriers remained
with the basic storage option considering the availability of MicroSD
slot. Which potentially means that none of the U.S. carriers offered the
flagship with its full storage option.

Much likely to this similar dilemma, Galaxy Note 2 suffered the same
luck as it was only launched with the 16GB variant. Now with Galaxy Note
3 launch upon us, it is hardly imaginable for the U.S. carriers to go
forward with anymore than the 16GB storage option for Galaxy Note 3. So
you can either opt for extended memory, or buy a Galaxy S4.

Samsung largely does a good job with keeping its devices up-to-date with latest software as compared to other
Android OEMs. For those looking forward to purchase either of these
Galaxy devices have nothing to worry about when it comes to software
updates; both the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S4 are here to stay for
years!
