Comparison: samsung galaxy s3 vs samsung galaxy note
Within the portfolio of Samsung are two of the most successful models. Plus, both Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note have some of the largest displays in the industry. That is why users who are pending to decide on one or the other team, can see below what the main differences could be. Of course, the audience they are focused on are those consumers who want a powerful equipment to play multimedia files (photos, videos) with good quality, in addition to not having to worry about having to strain too much when it comes to being aware from some Internet page.
Design and display
In September 2011, a new mobile concept was presented in society that was halfway between a tablet and a smartphone . The result of this invention was Samsung Galaxy Note, a team that followed a design line very similar to the Samsung Galaxy S2 but increased its screen size to 5.3 inches. Already in this year 2012, the Korean giant presented to the general public the following first sword of the company: Samsung Galaxy S3 that boasted a large screen but without reaching the end of the Galaxy Note. This team reaches a diagonal of 4.8 inches.
In both cases the user will find smartphones with a resolution in high definition; to be more specific, the Galaxy Note reaches 1,280 x 800 pixels and Galaxy S3 gets 1,280 x 720 pixels. In addition, both share the technology of their multi-touch panel: they show off a SuperAMOLED HD panel that, in addition to safeguarding the day-to-day autonomy of the two models, will also show more vivid colors.
On the other hand, the measurements and weight of the two cases are as follows: 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 millimeters with a weight of 133 grams for the Samsung Galaxy S3. And Samsung Galaxy Note has a chassis 146.85 x 82.95 x 9.65 mm although its large size penalizes some weight that goes up to 178 grams.
Connectivity
It cannot be denied that Samsung has implemented many technologies in its latest creations since the Samsung Galaxy S "" the first of the saga "" was presented in 2010. Therefore, in the two models that we are comparing it would not be less, and much less if we bear in mind that both Samsung Galaxy Note and Samsung Galaxy S3 belong to the high-end of the company's catalog.
First, the user can be permanently connected to the Internet thanks to wireless connections such as WiFi hotspots or 3G mobile networks. What's more, thanks to the fact that they are compatible with Adobe Flash technology, the user experience will be very close to what can be experienced from a computer. To all this we must add the large screen size that these smartphones have.
On the other hand, the connection with other household equipment is also guaranteed. Connections such as NFC "" available only on the Samsung Galaxy S3 "" will allow the user to pass information to other terminals in a comfortable way or connect to compatible accessories of recent appearance. Meanwhile, the two models have a DLNA and Bluetooth connection. In the latter case, it should be taken into account that the Samsung Galaxy Note has Bluetooth 3.0 and Samsung Galaxy S3 equips the Bluetooth 4.0 version, the latter being the fastest, reaching rates close to those that would be achieved with WiFi points.
Finally, the two models are very even since it has a GPS receiver, 3.5 mm standard audio output as well as a MicroUSB port to charge the battery or synchronize the data with a computer and the dedicated program named Samsung Kies..
Photo camera
In this section, there are no notable differences either: at the rear they have a camera with an eight mega-pixel sensor, accompanied by an LED-type flash. And they offer the possibility of recording high definition videos of up to 1,080 pixels or Full HD with a rate of 30 images per second. In addition, with the arrival of Android 4.0, panoramic photographs can be taken easily and intuitively.
Meanwhile, on the front they also have cameras that will be used to make video calls of up to 720 pixels (HD); both cases have a two mega-pixel sensor.
Power and memory
On the other hand, the power of the terminals is different: Samsung Galaxy Note equips a dual-core processor with a working frequency of 1.4 GHz accompanied by a RAM of one GigaByte. Meanwhile, the new Samsung Galaxy S3 features a latest-generation processor from Samsung itself that provides four process cores with a frequency of 1.4 GHz and one GB of RAM, just like the previous model.
Also, the space to save all kinds of files is provided by internal memories of 16 or 32 GB in both cases, although Samsung Galaxy S3 will have another version that will reach up to 64 GB of space. But if these figures fall short, you can use MicroSD cards of up to 32 GB in the Galaxy Note and up to 64 GB in the Galaxy S3.

Operating system and applications
Android 4.0 is the protagonist in both teams. However, there are differences in the user interface. In the Samsung Galaxy Note, new applications have been added to get more performance from the S-Pen pointer ”” you can take a look at the attached video ””, although the Samsung TouchWiz interface is still used. While the Samsung Galaxy S3 introduced the new version Samsung TouchWiz Nature UX with a different look and, above all, new applications "" or functions "" as the direct competitor of Siri "" the personal assistant of the iPhone 4S "" and which they baptized under the name of S Voice . However, if you want to take a look at all the new features, you can check out what's new from Samsung here.
But leaving aside the new bets of the company and that is what the new chief executive officer was referring to during his presentation in office. In addition, it is expected that both teams can run the new Android 4.1 Jelly Bean version that will be released by the Nexus 7 when it arrives in Spain throughout the month of September.
Batteries and opinions
The two smartphones are accompanied by large capacity batteries that will last a day's work without problems. Samsung Galaxy Note has a 2,500-milliamp battery and Samsung Galaxy S3 has a 2,100-milliamp battery. Although the autonomy of both terminals will depend on the use that the user gives to his unit: a client who is constantly consulting e-mail or visiting Internet pages will not be the same as one who, although doing the same things, the use is much more sporadic.
They are large teams, so not everyone will be interested in them. Although the audience they are focused on is a demanding clientele who want an advanced mobile with a lot of power; In other words, they want a small computer in their pocket with which to do everything.
On the other hand, Samsung is working on being able to update all the members of its catalog "" whenever the technical characteristics allow it "". The latest update that is known is that of the Samsung Galaxy S2 to Android 4.0.4, a way to keep its previous flagship at the top, in addition to or leave its customers forgotten.
Finally, although Samsung Galaxy S3 has a large screen "" remember that 4.8 inches "", the customer who needs something halfway between a tablet or a smartphone, should turn to the Samsung Galaxy Note that increases the size to the 5.3 inches and makes it easy to take freehand notes thanks to the accompanying stylus. What's more, the Galaxy Note family will continue to grow and the next model to appear on the market will be the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, with a more tablet format and will also have the well - known S-Pen pen and dedicated applications to get the most out of it. work meetings or during classes.
