A look at ... Galaxy Note 3 - big and at the same time light phablet - dobreprogramy

the premiere of the new Galaxy Note 3 (somehow the beginning of September I think) I could not wait for the day where I can finally live to see it-no pictures and reviews of the sites do not give as much as possible to look at the hardware alone even for a moment . In life, it would not buy in the darkroom equipment, ie, without first “test”. Today we finally made it. If someone was looking for and could not find a hint that I’ve come across in Note 3 in the media markt.

Note 3

is no problem in one hand :)

Specifications

Note 3 In case of no surprise-equipment is a real “rocket” on board we are not limited to: 5,7 ‘sAMOLED FHD screen, 3GB of RAM, a 2.3 GHz Qualcomm prcesor, LTE connectivity, 32/64 GB of memory ( + microSD slot), IRDA module (to control eg tv), and 3200 mAh battery. As you can see, we have a strong technology. More details can be found on Samsung’s website: click.

Design

just change the housing material meant that I was so very interesting new “notebook”. Readers of my blog (and comments) are well aware that I could not look at smartphones released by Samsung of some two years-that is, since the Galaxy S3. Tacky plastic coated probably the worst possible material-slippery paint color white or dark gray (black is where I ask?) – Worse can no longer perform your smartphone. I understand the materials in the budget models, but not considered top class in my opinion already. Javascript is all. What’s worse is what sells, and it very well … Samsung, however, seems to have felt the breath (much better done) because of competition premiere of the new changes brought Note can human ills top of the largest producer of smartphones that finally replaced the slippery paint coated plastic … leatherette plastic … As this is the first time I heard it I must admit that I laughed, and it properly (something like replace a toddler for a new baby …) … Today I had the opportunity to see how the end is, in fact-it turned out that, contrary to appearances, is not so bad in my opinion, and even came to Samsung new housing very well. Taking the hand Note 3 does not have that feeling finally associating with trash, which should cost half of what free. Back feels like a real skin and for that, a new Note is much more comfortable in the hand (predecessor gave the impression as if he was going to slip). The screen dominates the front, so the plastic is relatively not much. In general, no creaking and for that as I said … it looks great advantage of such, no other material is lightweight-new Note, despite the relatively large size is very light and even long hold in your hand is comfortable.

system and overlay

Note 3 now has Android 4.3 with the latest version of TouchWiz. She benefited from the liquidity cap for SIV or Note2, no less is paid for and do their more powerful optimization parameters that cover the heaviness TW. Overlay itself looks nice and is comfortable to use than the camera but more about this later. A big plus is the “coolest” beam upper-unless we find there shortcuts to all of the options that are just …

cap in series devices Note linked to one important element-notebook snot. The application has been refreshed by Samsung-its interface to save valuable workspace. It is a pity that the way they cut the menu options such as converting mathematical formulas manually typed the letter computer, convert handwriting into computer and illustrator shapes, shapes. Maybe it is hidden somewhere deeper. I looked for a long time (at the end of the “pillars” Note series devices), but I have not found …

average, like the standard keyboard-we have a fairly large, because the 5.7 “screen and 1080p with the keys on the keyboard are relatively small and pretty hard to miss (surprisingly different, smaller smart phones have larger keys on the keyboard), but fortunately it is XT9, which makes typing easy. really like the black color overlay menu in Samsung-many smartphones now has a white background in this place that I like too.

Samsung is aware that the 5.7 “is not always appropriate and equipped TouchWiz’a a new feature ‘one-hand’, which as you can imagine makes it possible to conveniently operate your smartphone without the involvement of both hands. How does it work? very straight after setting this option eg keyboard instead of doing the entire width of the screen is roughly two thirds of its surface and may be closer to the left or right edge of making it easier to hold the smartphone in the left or right hand.’s a great idea in my opinion :) This feature also allows you to reducing the work surface to about 4.5 “- yes, we have 4.5″ screen 5.7 “smartphone-the rest of the screen is inactive.

Multimedia

one of the most important elements of a smartphone. In the case of Note 3 Samsung provided us with 13 megapixel camera doing very good too-sample below. The camera is too fast, also can quickly grasp something. I do not like the lack of a dedicated hardware camera button. Although Samsung has added an option to the default camera application to set the volume key as camera shutter but we would lose our easy zooming of images and what is important is not the same as a separate key for the camera. Interestingly, this has all the normal functions of the camera button on the side-ie, AF and it works almost like the camera shutter. There are so many applications on Google Play to set the mute button as the camera button but they do not offer access to all functions at once-that is to say we want / do not want to use the auto focus we need to turn it on / off in the applications menu-annoying and impractical it is. I’m surprised that Samsung is not to select the power button as the camera button (optional of course) – the camera runs on … window with the option to restart smarfona, fade. Key power in Note 3 is indeed an ideal place to serve as the camera key …

smartphone on the speaker game in my opinion pretty good and loud. I watched some videos on YouTube and on the 5.7 “screen a joy to watch but at the moment suffer virtually no room for fingers on the sides of the screen (viewed on the smartphone oriented horizontally) – what you like but a little space to be on your toes imparted …

you buy?

yet a little while ago I was sure that my next smartphone is the Sony Xperia Z1-it has everything you expect from a good successor to the HTC Desire Z listed does: a larger screen (5 “vs the current 3.7″), a good camera (20mpx) of separate hardware button on the side, waterproof, and what is important to me excellent performance-to-glass and aluminum, which unfortunately resulted in weight-Z1 is not the lightest. On the one hand I like about it is that it has a broad frame above and below the screen, on the other hand, however, I would prefer the 5.3-5.5 “and wide frame. You can not have everything … Again, unfortunately, Note 3 is well-made, has a great, big screen (and dimensionally is virtually identical to the 5 ‘Z1 Sony’ego (!)) is the key part of the camera, which is also good. At the same time I do not know which of the two is selected. Z1 is still slightly in the lead because of a lower purchase price, either subscription or on the open market but as you know prices change quickly in the coming months so everything can change again. Ultimately, I think the exchange of somewhere between December and March next year-as long as my DesireZ doing what to do so I do not feel the need to change anything, immediately.

What do you think about
