Samsung Galaxy Note III – bigger, faster, more powerful. Samsung Galaxy Note III - bigger, faster, more powerful Note 3 technical specifications

Samsung has already introduced the third Galaxy Note and, looking ahead, it has become even better. Moreover, this year Note 3 has moved forward further than the S4, it seems to me, both externally and internally. For those who are not in the know, let me remind you that it was in 2011 that I gave birth to a whole line of gadgets - lampshades. Before it, smartphones with 4.3″ displays seemed large, and those with 4.7″ displays seemed huge. After all, few would have thought that two years later, an ordinary flagship would have a display with a diagonal of 5-5.3″!

In fact, the most severe geeks could have guessed it, because they had the Nokia N800, N900, etc. But they did not become widespread, because at that time the mobile OS did not provide the user with such scope for work, which might require a large display. But the size of the display, on the contrary, caused inconvenience, because at that time it was very difficult, if not impossible, to make such a device compact.

Design and ergonomics

The new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 surprised everyone, because no one doubted that the display would become larger, that its resolution would increase to Full HD, that the processor would be more powerful, and that the camera would be better. The fact that all this could be placed in a more compact case was a surprise, but I think the case really surprised everyone. This is the first Note that went against the system and became unglamorous. After all, the original model had a matte cover only because that year the Galaxy S 2 had exactly the same cover. The Note 2 was made in the same style as the Galaxy S 3 - glossy, but the Note 3 is made in the style of a leather notebook, despite the glossy Galaxy S 4.

Despite the fact that today the situation in the smartphone market is settling down, other manufacturers are catching up, but even at the beginning of 2013 we would have asked the average user or even a geek what smartphone he was looking forward to most, I think many would have remembered the SGS4 and SGN3 . As I said last year, it is very difficult to make not just a popular smartphone, but a truly cult one. That's exactly what the Galaxy Note is.

This is a smartphone that has replaced two devices for many people: a smartphone and a tablet, because before the release of the original model, only a tablet could boast a 5-6″ screen. Today, the Galaxy Note 3 no longer causes so much excitement because of its size, because although it is larger than regular flagships, it is not by much. It’s really cool that the engineers were able to place a larger diagonal display in a more compact body – 5.7″ versus 5.5 last year. The body is 1.3 mm narrower and 1.1 mm thinner than the Galaxy Note 2, without increasing in height. And the difference in width with the very first Note is 3 mm, which is significant. Keep in mind that in the original model the display diagonal was 5.3″.

The case, as I already said, has greatly improved compared to its predecessor. It remained collapsible, retained its quality, but at the same time became much more practical and pleasant to use. The back cover is made to look like leather, there is even a thread stitch along the edge, although not real. The designers tried to convey the design of a classic leather notebook, even the side edging, which is made to look like metal, has longitudinal stripes, as if they were pages. Tactile - it turned out really cool, and the idea is clear - Galaxy Note from the first version has an S-Pen, with which you can write on the screen as if on a piece of paper. But the realism of the conveyed image is not complete; if the back cover really looks like leather, then the entire smartphone does not in any way resemble a notepad. But overall, I liked the design much better than anything currently in the Galaxy line, except for the Galaxy S 4 Active - they both have unique designs. The practical benefits of a non-glossy back cover are obvious: it does not collect fingerprints and is not susceptible to scratches. By the way, I wouldn’t even put a cover on the Note 3, because it would be hard to scratch the smartphone, and if something happens, the cover can simply be replaced. Today, not every smartphone allows you to do this!

A little about the location of everything on the body of the new “Nota”. Everything is more than standard. I’m glad that they didn’t forget about the IR port, but the standard application allows you to control only equipment that is connected to TV, albeit from different vendors. That is, you can forget about air conditioners. Fortunately, Google Play has a lot of alternative software.

And the second feature that cannot be ignored is microUSB 3.0, that is, the same as in external hard drives. I won’t say that it looks very beautiful, but Samsung is not to blame here. It’s just that the connector itself is even more inconvenient, and has become twice as large. Compatibility with old cords remains, they are simply inserted into one half of the connector. The difference is that microUSB 3.0 charges the smartphone faster. Also in the new interface, the data transfer speed has increased – up to 45 MB/s.

Everything else is standard: on the right is the lock key, on the left is the volume control, on the bottom is a microphone and speaker, next to them is the S-Pen, on top is a headphone jack, another microphone and an infrared port.

Under the display, as usual for all Samsung smartphones, there are three keys: one mechanical – home, and two touch. Above it is a 2 MP front camera and various sensors.

Display

Samsung, as usual, installs Super AMOLED displays in its flagship models, and the Galaxy Note 3 is no exception. The display has grown to 5.7″, and its resolution to 1920x1080 pixels. The pixel placement scheme is Pen Tile, but with a pixel density of 386 per inch, although it is possible to notice halos or individual pixels, you need to look carefully. I liked the display, the clarity is excellent, the viewing angles and contrast are also maximum. The colors, as befits Super AMOLED, are very saturated, some people like it better, I prefer soft tones. However, you can mute the colors a little using standard means - as in all recent models, you can select a mode in the display settings. Standard is much calmer than dynamic.

Camera

As expected, the camera in the new Galaxy Note is very good. And, as has been the case for two years in a row, it is slightly better than the flagship Galaxy S model, in this case the fourth generation. In particular, video stabilization is really good. Note 3 has a 13 MP BSI sensor, aperture – 2.2. But, in essence, the camera is exactly the same as in the Galaxy S 4. Perhaps slightly better videos and pictures are obtained due to the improved software.

When shooting video, you can take photos, there are many custom modes available, with which you can choose the best photo from a series, take a photo of the subject in motion, and much more. There are also custom filters.

Examples of photos and videos

Working with the S-Pen

If in the days of Windows Mobile the stylus was simply a necessary manipulator, then its return in the era of capacitive displays was not entirely clear: why? Thus, the very first Galaxy Note was only able to reveal the potential of the S Pen at the end of its life cycle. We really saw a lot of innovations in working with the pen with the arrival of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 last year. There were so many features using the S Pen that we made a separate video on the functions of the pen. Also in Note 2, the stylus or pen itself has become much better; instead of 16 levels of pressure, it now supports as many as 1024, and the size of the pen has increased, making the pen much more convenient to use.

Note 3 has added several useful innovations in working with the pen, the main ones are called up in a special menu consisting of five items. This window is called up by simply holding down the button on the S-Pen when it has not yet touched the display. You kind of indicate where this menu should appear.

Here you can select active notes, cut out a fragment of the screen, take a screenshot, open a search, or outline a window to launch a program in it.

Active Notes allows you to recognize handwriting and instantly use it in one of the applications: dialing, messages, etc.

Let me note that even the most clumsy handwriting is recognized, which means that writing down a contact has now become even faster. By the way, the functional menu opens automatically even from a locked state, if you simply take out the pen. So saving a number this way is really quick.

The second point is cutting out a fragment. This is a very useful feature that was once in one of the Android browsers. But what’s cool here is that it’s integrated into TouchWIZ. Wherever you are, simply call up this menu with your pen, select the second item and highlight the area you want to save. After this, you can add a comment or send a screenshot to a specific notepad; a separate application is dedicated for these purposes. By the way, if you save a fragment from any Internet page, you can easily go to it again later.

The third button allows you to take a screenshot and immediately mark something on it. Very convenient for quickly demonstrating something to someone on Twitter. Everything is clear with the search, but the last, fifth button is also interesting. It allows you to draw a window of a certain shape and size with a pen, and then place one of several applications in it, including a browser and YouTube. You can create several windows, minimize them, move them around the screen, maximize them, or close them. Everything is like on a computer!

Despite the fact that I always find such gadgets useless, I really enjoyed using at least three out of five: screenshot with instant editing, screenshot of a fragment and active notes.

The S Note application has also been completely updated, which now looks like a leather notebook. Sort of like an electronic moleskine.

BY

In addition to the previously described features, there are others that you can work with without a pen. For example, I liked the event aggregator, which can be called up by pressing the home button again, or by swiping from the bottom edge of the display. You can connect social networks here, including Twitter, news is pulled from Flipboard, and personal information is pulled from the calendar.

The dual screen mode has also changed. Now you can place two chat windows, for example, in ChatOn and drag messages between the windows. That is, now they are interconnected. This mode is called up and hidden as before - by long pressing the back key.

It's very cool that the Galaxy Note 3 is the first smartphone on the market, besides the Nexus, that is sold with the latest version of Google's OS pre-installed - Android 4.3 JB. On top of it is the latest TouchWIZ, which is now not only fast, but also does not seem overloaded. Samsung was smart and simply hid all their apps in a separate folder from the start so that all the apps fit on one screen.

Technical characteristics and autonomy

Our copy is powered by an Exynos Octa 5420 processor, which on paper is eight-core. In fact, there are four Cortex-A15 cores clocked at 1.9 GHz, and four Cortex-A7 cores at 1.3 GHz, that is, big.LITTLE ARM architecture. We see a similar solution in SGS4, and many there were dissatisfied with the poor optimization of the software, as well as lags in the interface. It was a matter of honor for me to check how quickly the display lights up and goes out when pressing the lock key. So - finally, very quickly, there is no such lag as we observed earlier in S4. But somewhere over the hill, a version with a Snapdragon 800 processor will be available. I think there will be no difference in operating speed, at least noticeable to the eye, but the camera in the second case will allow you to record video in 4k resolution.

But the truth is found in the smooth operation of the interface, games and applications, here everything is super on the third Note. Of course, all games run with maximum graphics settings, mirrors are displayed in RR3.

Reviews of the smartphone Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 32Gb

Advantages

Flaws

• 1) I really didn’t like Samsung’s TouchWiz shell - I changed it to Nova Launcher.
• 2) The body materials are still slippery for me, just in case I bought a bumper for it, with which it is 2 times thicker and 1.5 times heavier. Despite this, it has become much more convenient to use - incl. and because of the greater weight (there was a feeling that it would not accidentally fly out of your hands). The first 2 weeks I couldn’t get used to the size. Devices with a diagonal larger than 5.7 would be inconvenient for me to use.
• 3) From time to time a notification from KNOX comes out that it has again closed some (unknown to me) application for access where it should not.

A comment
I've been using it for more than 2 months. The device is in energy saving mode all the time, and there are no noticeable slowdowns or lags (I don’t play games). All unnecessary communications are disabled, the GSM network mode is changed to LTE only for the duration of data transmission over the mobile network. With intensive use it lasts for 2-3 days (HTC Sensation with a new battery - 0.75 days), with light use (a couple of calls a day) - for 6 days (Sensation - 3 days).

I recently took the device to the winter mountains - I was very pleased with the autonomy! In offline mode, in the outer pocket of a membrane jacket (temperature -10C/-5C, high humidity due to heavy loads and because steam from the body passes through the membrane) for 4 hours of playing music through headphones, the battery discharge is 3-4% ! I took it with me on all ascents, the temperature outside was -25C, the device froze up, but worked flawlessly all the time. On the HTC Sensation, for example, the screen begins to glitch in high humidity conditions - random clicks are generated across the entire screen field. Nothing like this was noticed with Note 3. For 5 days at the top (mostly in offline mode), several hours of listening to music, an hour of Internet via 2G, several hours of reading - the device was discharged from 100% to 30%, and I also had a spare battery with me.

Advantages

• Bright screen
• Excellent battery life - about 36 hours (with active messengers VK, Skype, WhatsApp and bluetooth turned on).
• Good appearance
• Camera (quality and functionality)
• The video is amazing (appreciate it when displayed on a large TV)
• Productive
• Bonuses from services (Samsung Hub certificate, Evernote premium for a year, additional space in DropBox"e)
• Temperature and humidity sensors (left on the table for 10 minutes, S Health showed the temperature and humidity)
• Very sensitive touch
• S Voice (Google recognizes much better than Yandex)
• Interaction with Samsung TV and tablet.

Flaws

• The camera is great in good lighting.
• The sides of the phone do not inspire confidence. Hid it under the bumper.
• The transition from LTE to 3G sometimes takes 3-7 seconds
• The camera protrudes, not good. Experienced Note 2.

A comment
My phone path lately has been Note 2 -> iPhone 5 -> Note 3.
The brakes were not noticed. But if iOS is made specifically for the iPhone, then they apparently achieved smoothness by providing huge resources.
Size. People know what they are buying.
LTE. I fiddled around, I admit, while activating 4G for Beeline.
I can’t classify the TouchWiz shell as either a plus or a minus. Individual question.
I really like S Voice. On the road, when the phone functions as a navigator, it’s easy to call an assistant (I call her Ksyushka) and make a call, dictate an SMS, and rearrange the route.
IR/IrDA. At first I thought it was a toy, but in my hands there was a remote control for TVs and air conditioners. At first, of course, I struggled with the settings.
Gestures and facial recognition are in some ways a toy, in others they are not reliable due to lighting.

Advantages

• Compared to note1:
• The screen has become brighter, the resolution is higher, it is very noticeable.
• The gradients have disappeared, with this moment everything is as it should be.
• Top-end hardware, nothing slows down, applications are not unloaded from memory if they are inactive. Any application loads instantly, there are no delays, as, for example, there was in note1 when making a call - the melody has already started, but the caller’s name is not yet shown. Now it's great.
• The maximum number of all modern technical solutions - USB 3.0, NFC, all kinds of sensors and related capabilities. No one else has this.
• Android 4.3 has learned a lot compared to previous versions, while maintaining the ability to change the system at its discretion.
• The pen now works perfectly. Its functionality is organized at the highest possible level.
• The thin body and leather-like back cover make it very comfortable to hold the device in your hand.
• The battery holds a charge better than on the previous two notes.
• It heats up less than note1 under load.
• High-quality sound chip from Qualcomm, better than in the 9000 version, even better than in my Cowon player - cleaner, higher sound pressure, more bass.
• The video quality in the dark was simply amazing - absolutely no noise, no worse than GoPro!

Flaws

• The location for the speaker is not very well chosen - I constantly cover it with my finger, maybe I need to get used to it!
• I expected more from the camera in terms of photography; in poor lighting, taking a sharp picture is problematic.
• Auto-brightness works worse than on previous models - it makes the screen too dark in low light. The solution is simple - installing the Lux program from the market.
• Some people complain about the Home button being loose - I didn’t have such a problem, it stays in place perfectly.

A comment
Previously, I used Note 1 for a year and a half.

I took a gray black Polish device in Moscow.

It was already unlocked, the LTE SIM card from the Beeline started up, but the Beeline itself does not allow using LTE with an existing number, only with a new one. So you'll have to wait until LTE can be tested.

I immediately flashed the custom firmware and kernel, everything flies, everything functions, there’s nothing to seriously complain about. Very pleased with the choice. At the moment, among the smartphones with this device, there are even some others and it’s somehow inconvenient to compare :)
Leonid, 2013-10-24 Grade 5

Advantages

• The screen is beyond praise, thin body, high quality body, fits comfortably in the hand, number of interesting features and gadgets, processor power, 3GB of RAM, 1080x1920 screen, fairly durable 3200mAh battery.
• Improved headphones.
• I was very pleased with the ability of the screen to respond to gloves, mittens and other clothing, just increase the sensitivity of the screen and use your phone in winter without problems - I give this innovation 5++++++++++! Well done Koreans.

Flaws

• It happens very occasionally that it freezes, but this can happen with any device.

A comment
I bought the device 9.11.13 in one online store, which turned out to be an ordinary store on Gorbushka for 21,000 rubles, a Eurotest phone, it seems for England (judging by the connector on the charger). At first, its size upset me a little (it seemed a little big), it didn’t fit right into my hand, it tried to slip out, my fingers couldn’t reach the last key on the screen. But after just a few minutes of use, I realized that the size is, on the contrary, a plus of this device.
The screen is just something, super Amoled, and even in full HD quality!
The case, both at first glance and upon closer examination, is made to a solid 5! Once you get used to the size, you don’t want to let go of the phone, the back cover is made to look like leather and looks very original. It fits easily into your pocket and does not cause any discomfort when walking. Entering text on the keyboard with two hands is very convenient (in general, it is designed for two hands, but it is possible to adapt it to work with one hand, left or right, to suit your taste). The headphones that come with the set have gotten rid of one drawback: they no longer transmit sounds from wires dangling when walking. The sound is still good, but they are nevertheless inconvenient to use as a headset due to the fact that they are in-ear and completely block out extraneous sounds. You can very quickly and conveniently write notes, draw, and type text with a stylus instead of using a keyboard.
It also implements other functions of working with the phone using gestures (scrolling through photos, scrolling text, etc.) and eye movements when working on the Internet (to be honest, the function is controversial because it’s easier for me to scroll with my finger).
In conclusion, I can say that I am as happy with the device as a whole and in general, but not long ago I used it for a long time and persistently and idolized the iPhone and reviled Android devices, but now I understand that it is no better, that it is a cheap show-off that You won’t surprise anyone anymore, and maybe in some ways it even lags behind Samsung.

Advantages

• Design, color (I have white and gold), size, amount of RAM, internal memory, battery, fast charging (in 2 hours)

Flaws

• Size (if you use it mainly only as a dialer - although why do you need this tablet phone then), auto-brightness adjustment is buggy, unstable oleophobic coating, ergonomics, a second SIM card would not hurt.

Many people forget that it was the South Korean manufacturer that began to set the direction for the development of phablets. Although similar devices came out before the Note line, they did not have big success. The reason was not the poor performance of the screen, but the characteristics. Operating time, quality of ergonomics, the presence of a stylus - these are the true advantages of Note devices. Competitors to the line appeared after the introduction of the second generation. However big Some manufacturers focused on the size of the display. After a while it became clear that other characteristics were more important. In fact, the first generation of Note “shot” completely by accident. TO creation the second company approached more consciously , trying to maximize all the benefits that people liked. These include the stylus and input technology. The last one was created by Wacom, That's why South Korean manufacturer bought out part of the company responsible for development this peculiarities. The competitors couldn't do it gain access To her. "Samsung" tried to improve everything as much as possible products, noticeably highlight it, make it unique and highlight all the advantages.

Video review of features

What I liked

Why argue... a good, high-quality phone...

What I didn't like

A VERY poisonous display that immediately negates all the advantages of the device.

What I liked

Software, speed, design, sound, size.

What I didn't like

update

What I liked

screen size, color brightness

What I didn't like

There are more of them than advantages. There is no radio - this is not acceptable at all now, there are a lot of completely stupid programs. A completely unnecessary stylus. The large screen is rather a minus. My wife can’t hold it at all, and even with my rather small hands, it’s completely uncomfortable for me to hold it. Small battery.

What I liked

Good processor, quite fast, good phone sensitivity

What I didn't like

assembly, wifi,

What I liked

Great phone, powerful processor, graphics processor. connection quality

What I didn't like

No FM radio. Samsung has gone crazy. Therefore, I give build quality - 1, ease of use - 1. The product has been returned!

What I liked

Advantages: build quality, software, camera, battery, performance

What I didn't like

full on this screen looks more like a regular HD, after a couple of months the button started clicking, like on a cheap Chinese one, it started to slow down

What I liked

stylus, sensitivity, built-in applications, very interesting phone

What I didn't like

The paint on the stylus quickly peeled off, which was unpleasant but not very important.

What I liked

Display, stylus, operating time, good Wi-Fi connection.

What I didn't like

Crooked system. I don’t know if this is a problem only on 3 Note or on Android 4.3, but the market is not working properly. Very often it gives an error.

What I liked

Design, interesting programs, s pen capabilities, hardware, camera

What I didn't like

Actually, the minus itself lies in the chipset from Samsung, or more precisely in the fact that CM and AOSP were not ported to it, of course there are a bunch of custom ones, but they all revolve around off-firmware and, to one degree or another, have a poor, absolutely inconvenient interface,
The phone is worth buying only for ardent fans of Tachwiz and fans of the Samsung interface; in general, it’s difficult to talk about this without enhancing the artistic coloring of the statement (swear words, that is).
-there is also a small minus in terms of dust around the display, between the display and the edging, very insignificant for me.

What I liked

My battery lasts for a day, and that’s very good, all other smart phones didn’t have enough, only the Asus P750 with a 3 Ah battery lasted more than a day. Of course, this is all provided that the firmware is at least slightly customized - the case is assembled well, in general there are almost no complaints in terms of hardware - there are a large number of accessories on ebay and ali for reasonable money, more expensive in Russia, too, a lot. - the touch works if you are wearing gloves, and this is very cool in the cold if you need to make or answer a call) - thin, I wear jeans in my pocket easily, there are no jeans that are worn by representatives of sexual minorities), in ordinary non-tight jeans - the connection quality is good , where NOT 3 catches, for example, Nexus 4 refused to do this. and in general the impressions about the device are good, with one huge minus!:

What I didn't like

The product did not live up to expectations, Limited equipment, no original car holder, microusb 3, 16:9 screen, octa processor, poisonous color rendering, camera protrudes from the body, microsim, fast battery drain, slot for one SIM card. Raw firmware. CPU.

What I liked

Optimal price/quality ratio, high-quality sound, volume, light weight, dimensions, spen, microsd, removable battery, 3.5mm headphone jack. Information LED on the front panel.

What I didn't like

DO NOT UPDATE TO android 5.0!!! After the update: 1) The battery dies in less than a full day (previously it lasted 2 days), 2) it constantly freezes when answering incoming messages, 3) the camera takes a long time to turn on, and sometimes it doesn’t turn on at all and gives an error, forget about the desire to quickly photograph what- any moment, you’ll just waste your nerves. 4) the connection is lost, after rebooting the phone the battery is full again.

What I liked

Excellent display, fantastic stylus (now I can’t imagine how to work without it), before the update there was a decent battery, speed and camera, now all this is gone, convenient multitasking,

What I didn't like

The battery lasts for 5-6 hours with active use (Internet, applications). In general, it’s terribly annoying that at the end of the working day the phone turns off. I carry a USB charger with me.
