Samsung Galaxy Note 3 , a confirmation without disruptions

 

Now in its third generation, the Samsung phablet that marked the way with regard to devices with display over 5 inches confirms all its strengths ulteriormene strengthening them and making it even stronger leadership among smartphones(HTC One X Cases) in this category . Will he be able to repeat the success of its predecessors even on the market?

introduction

Among the manufacturers of smartphones that have been made on the world wide over the past few years have failed to match the success of Apple with its iPhone. Only one of the competing producers managed to actually emulate what has been done in the past 6 years by the Cupertino : We are of course talking about the Samsung , at this moment undoubtedly the most important rival for the colossus of the bitten apple . The growth of Samsung in the smartphone market has been so abrupt to overcome in volumes as proposed by Samsiung , thanks to the market success of the Android operating system on which Samsung relies largely of its own models .

With its own set of terminals of the Samsung Galaxy family has been able to get into the good graces of users through solutions that are technically advanced than the competition and a marketing strategy that , with the passage of time , has proved successful . With this approach, the Korean company has been able to achieve significant results both in terms of numbers related to the sales of its solutions both in terms of brand perception by the public .

 

Head of the family is the first Galaxy S Galaxy(samsung galaxy s3 cases), able in time to reach 20 million units sold. Then we find the Galaxy S II, the first real rival to the iPhone with regard to sales of almost 40 million units sold since its launch , dating from about 3 years ago, today. Success, the Galaxy S II, repeated in 2012 with the third descendant of the tribe or the Galaxy S III , one of the top selling smartphones ever , capable of reaching 60 million share of pieces distributed since May last year to now . In 2013, it was then the turn of the Galaxy S4 that at least for the time being , while remaining in the top positions regarding approval ratings , do not seem to have the expected success .

As regards today's review , however, our attention is directed in a particular way to another branch of the family of Samsung Galaxy , namely that of phablet that , with regard to the solutions of the Korean family , are identified with the name Galaxy Note .

 

The first exponent of this kind of solutions , which is also the first ever of its kind, called the Samsung Galaxy Note and the merit of having paved the way for many other solutions , although not necessarily at the Samsung brand , who followed him in these 3 years. Announced in September 2011, had received favorable opinions not just on the part of many professionals mainly due to the size of the display are considered excessive . Doubts and conflicting opinions that have been completely removed from the sales data which gave reason Korean company .

During IFA in Berlin last year was then announced the first successor of Galaxy Note or Galaxy Note II. Renovated in design and technical content was considered by many, and for several months , one of the best Android smartphones on the market. The dimensions much criticized by many at the onset have become the strong point of this kind of terminals that allow, thanks to its large display , perform operations on the terminals from the measures contained are decidedly difficult.

So here we come to 2013 and the third generation of the phablet Samusung . We speak of course of Galaxy Note 3 , the protagonist of the analysis that you can read in these pages as well as the ultimate smartphone family of Korean giant . Here are a sheet in which we compare the hardware equipment of Galaxy Note 3 with that of its predecessor and one of the main competitors , HTC One Max

As we can see from the data sheet shown above the generational leap from Galaxy Note Galaxy Note 2 to 3 brings with it a number of important changes with regard to their technical knowledge at the disposal of the last phablet house of Samsung . The home-made Exynos processor Quad 4 is replaced by a new Qualcomm Snapdragon 800(best galaxy s4 case) , with a clock frequency of 2.3 GHz and number of cores always equal to 4. Increase the RAM goes from 2 to 3 Gigabytes remains the same while the internal memory dedicated to the storage , equal to 16 Gbytes and still expandable via microSD, but it does not affect the performance of the terminal. Performance , in view of the evolution of SoC imagine significantly higher than its predecessor .

Best also the photo department : in Galaxy Note 3 was used the same camera that we find in the Galaxy S4 , a decided improvement over the already discrete module that we found last year in Notes 2 and Galaxy S3. Another important new feature is the support the USB 3.0 standard , which, as we shall see in the course of the review , it offers many advantages in the case of data transfer cable from the PC or from the PC.

 

Compared to the HTC One Max, one of the main competitors of Galaxy Note 3 , we find a slightly smaller display , 5.7 inches versus the 5.9 of the HTC model , size and weight much more content and a processor certainly more evolved. HTC One Max offers in fact inside a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 , the same that we find in the Galaxy S4 and HTC One , while Galaxy Note 3 comes in range of SoC Qualcomm is a step above the newly cited Snapdragon 600 .

The potential to put on the top list of the best smartphones of 2013 there are then all this . In the following pages we will discover , analyzing smartphone in all its aspects , how many of these features are exploited.

iPhone and iPhone 5S 5C : Samsung launches the Samsung Galaxy J to challenge Apple Iphone waiting Galaxy S5 and 6

Samsung launches Galaxy eastern ll J equipped with characteristics similar to those of the Samsung Galaxy S4 . Will arrive in Europe ?

 

In anticipation of future top of the range Samsung Galaxy S5(best samsung galaxy s4 case) , the South Korean company is not in our hands and launching a new terminal slim and stylish , the Samsung Galaxy J. To quote the words of the manufacturer, "Just fit , Just simple , elegant Just , Just fast , Just for you ." Basically it is a device that is midway between the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Samsung Galaxy S3. The extent to which this device will compete with the latest products from Apple or the iPhone 5S and the economic model iPhone 5C . The low fertility of the contact points.

From the technical point of view , we are faced with a smartphone with 5-inch Super AMOLED display with Full HD resolution of 1,980 x 1,080 pixels. His heart is represented by the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 800 at 2.3 GHz flanked by 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory(best htc one x case), expandable via micro SD card. The operating system of reference is the version of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean . In the rear there is a camera with 13.2 megapixel sensor optical image stabilization, useful to capture images and record videos in high -quality 13-megapixel .

Anyway, the list price may be somewhere between 500 and 550 Euros . Those parts will arrive on shelves at the end of this month.

5 types of Samsung Galaxy 5 user types

 

It is customary that when a user exclaims his intention of becoming a Samsung Galaxy relates to one of the high-end equipment of the South Korean manufacturer. That has been one of the achievements of the team of company promotion, getting set up the largest family of smart devices out there on the market today, and largely responsible for the overwhelming success is reaping for years.

However, when considering the purchase of your Samsung Galaxy(htc one v case), the client eventually consider three basic factors, which could list more or less important in the final decision as follows: price, screen size and technical performance. By following these guidelines, we will now distinguish roughly five devices that are specially designed five user profiles: the Samsung Galaxy Young, Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy 3 and Samsung Galaxy Note Mega 6.3.

 

Samsung Galaxy Young

The midrange terminals and Input Samsung constitute the bulk of the broader family of equipment manufacturer. We select it because it is the most clear is what your target audience. It can be found in stores for a price of around 100 euros, and that in a free format, which makes it a very affordable terminal and candy for operators, if we do not care to adjust to the conditions phone.

His tricks are beyond price, size and performance in its tailored to the needs of a mainly young audience or users who are not particularly interested in smart phones. It has a display of 3.27 inches, a mononuclear processor and three-megapixel camera. It is fairly light and connections it offers just what the customer needs that could be interesting for him: Wi-Fi, 3G, GPS, Bluetooth and microUSB.

 

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini

Soon we will see the approach of the new family of Samsung Lite, but as she arrives, Mini Series teams represent a good alternative to those who want power and good performance without setting foot on the manufacturer's premium line. This Samsung Galaxy Mini S4(cute samsung galaxy s4 cases) limit the high-end brand. Its official price in free format is 420 euros, but you can find it for about 300 euros if we look good.

We are now at a phone with 4.3-inch screen and eight-megapixel camera. The device bases its power on a dual-core processor 1.7 GHz and is available in a version equipped with one of the most complete profiles segment connections: Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, NFC, Bluetooth, GPS and microUSB. Its multimedia capabilities is actually solvent, and has eight GB of internal memory expandable up to 64 GB from a memory card.

 

Samsung Galaxy S4

The balance of the premium range of Samsung embodied in its flagship. It is the most powerful moving company, but the most representative of its success. The fourth generation of mobile bedside South Korea is clearly aimed at users seeking reference teams that see them face to face with any first sword competition.

The proposal wielding this terminal is not only based on the power, but also in functionality: its great features are consistent with exclusive features and innovative applications that make the Samsung Galaxy S4 is distinguished from the other teams in its class offering intelligent applications multiplying the user experience. Officially costs, in free format, about 530 euros, although as in the previous case, we could find by far less. Technically known for its five-inch FullHD display, megapixel camera or thirteen powerful quad-core processor.

 

Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Today is the patanegra Samsung. And not only that: it is also the undisputed reference smartphone market in general and tabletófonos (phones with large screen) in particular. In stores we can find it for about 650 euros, and although power exceeds the Samsung Galaxy S4(best iphone 4 cases), the terminal is not intended for all audiences. Its huge 5.7-inch display clearly determines the type of customer who is interested in it, a type of customer who is ever expanding, seduced by their spectacular performance.

And the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 provides the most powerful processor on the market, 800 Snapdragon quad-core 2.3 GHz, plus take three GB of RAM. With such features, the terminal becomes the first to exploit the possibilities of video recording in ultra high definition (UHD), which also allows the Acer Liquid S2, but Samsung team has advantage in the market for its popularity and have been released before. Not surprisingly, has over ten million units shipped worldwide.

 

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3

We close the review raise the bar in size but in performance and lowering prices. The Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 is the solution that the manufacturer put on the table an alternative to fans tabletófonos without resorting to the prices of family Galaxy Note. Their goal is not to be a bestseller, but cover a space occupied by the catalog Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8, a model somewhat smaller.

The most interesting of the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 is that we got a large team (one might almost say that we have a mini tablet with phone functionality) paying a reasonable price, which is around € 350 in free format. Its performance, in fact, approaching that seen in the Samsung Galaxy Mini S4, highlighting its dual-core processor 1.7 GHz, the RAM of 1.5 GB and its eight megapixel camera. Because some believe that size matters, but the price also.

Nexus 5, HTC G2 One and LG are the top Android range in 2013 voted by users of HDblog

 

With nearly 9,000 votes, Nexus 5, One and HTC Android smartphone LG G2(best samsung galaxy s4 case) three elected by the members of HDblog as the best devices out in this 2013. Surprisingly, we find no Samsung in the first three positions on the podium but Galaxy S4 and Note 3 are placed on the 4th and 5th place. Are many other vows arrived and the proposals included but are unable to get close to the minimally top 5 results.

 

So preferences seem clear and LG is two products in the top positions . A great result for HTC One, and also by many in the newsroom considered one of the best , if not the best Android smartphone in 2013. Obviously the value of the Nexus 5 has played a key role in the vote but it's still hard not to feel it a great device . Nexus 5, HTC and LG G2 One will then be the three smartphones(samsung galaxy note 3 cases) will make up the new questionnaire that will post tomorrow where we will ask you to vote for the best smartphone in 2013 taking into consideration iOS and Windows Phone 8 .

comScore : HTC loses ground in the U.S., despite the renewed marketing campaign

 

The marketing campaign fielded by the Taiwanese manufacturer in the third quarter does not seem to have had the desired results in the important U.S. market. According to figures released recently by comScore , the market share of HTC(htc one cases) in the United States has thinned in the months of August , September and October , from 8% to 6.7 % . HTC is the only "big " on to record a reduction of more than 1% market share , while Apple , Samsung and , to a lesser extent , even Motorola have managed to improve its position in the observation period.

 

HTC in August announced a major revamp with regard to marketing initiatives , formalizing all the details of the collaboration with the famous American actor Robert Downey Jr. appeared shortly after the first ads of the campaign HTC Change- disseminated through social channels HTC - aimed not only at promoting the products of Taiwan , but also to improve the perception of the brand. The efforts put in by HTC(3d iphone 4 cases) have appeared rather obvious, but for the moment are not able to leave a significant mark in terms of sales.

Of course, the non- renewal processes can have harmful effect in the space of a few months. The fact that HTC has actually started to make a change to the policies of marketing and communications is an obvious fact and , in some respects , even more important than the results achieved in the short term . HTC, beyond the recent decline in sales remains in the top five most important smartphone manufacturers operating in the U.S., reaching only a short detachment with LG and Motorola .

To use a cinematic metaphor , HTC(top iphone 5 cases) may be considered at the time , a little ' as the most well-known of Robert Downey Jr., an Iron Man, like the one at the beginning, put a strain on competition that is getting tighter and stuck on several fronts (see recent controversy in relation to patents with Nokia ) . The Iron Man fans know how they always end his films and those of HTC should know that HTC is not a company that gives up easily. For even more marked signs of recovery will have to wait for the first quarter of 2014 , which should bring with him , among other things, the renewal of the series One with the arrival of the new top of the range .
