Samsung Galaxy Note 3 vs 'Old' Note 2: Top 3 Reasons to Snub the New and Enjoy the Old Android Phablet [PHOTOS]
Note 3 in Australia? Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and Virgin Confirmed - Reports
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has been unveiled and so far, reviewers are mostly impressed by its specs and features. But for late adopters, or those who are not keen on rushing to get the latest device, there are at least 5 good reasons to snub the new Samsung Android phablet.
The Note 3 specs amaze many speculators during unveiling. Its 2.3 GHz quad-core processor and 3GB of RAM make such a sweet news for gamers, among other heavy phone users. Android users who download/upload a lot of media (photos and videos) using their phablet will enjoy Samsung Galaxy Note 3's powerfully fast Category 4 LTE/4G capabilities. But do you "need" all these specs bump?
Have Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in Australia? Yes, you can!
Reports say the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will be released worldwide on Sept. 25. In the U.S. Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and U.S. Cellular will offer deals for phone shoppers. Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and Virgin will carry the Note 3 in Australia. Pricing and contracts have yet to be announced. Unlocked variants are expected in MobiCity, too.
Those who are not too eager to own the latest Samsung Android phablet have at least three reasons in mind:
3. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is not an old device. It is a year-old device, but remains to be one of the best phones in the phablet category to this day. Its 5.5-inch Super AMOLED HD screen, quad-core processor, 8MP camera, and Li-Ion 3100 mAh battery can beat even some of the 2013 flagship phones - depending on user preference.
2. Expect the 2012 Android phablet price to drop. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (N7100 16GB unlocked) is currently $599.95 on Australia's MobiCity. If this price goes down, phone shoppers are in for a sweet gadget treat.
1. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3's price and specs may not be a good match. The larger 5.7-inch screen alone may or may not create a difference in certain users' comfortable grip. The 0.2-inch difference is not likely to turn off phablet buyers, but the price could. At the end of the day, when you carefully look into your budget and phablet specs requirements, the Note 2 might still not sound bad at all.
