Q. Hi guys. I have an iPhone 4. I updated the version for the new iPhone on it and it is super slow now! I have an upgrade available and my husband is telling that the galaxy note 3 is great. Please help me choose and tell me why I should get any phone?
-thanks!
A. Samsung Galaxy Note 3, hands down.
I have to admit I can be a little biast at times but I'll keep this as fair as possible.
I would, most definitely, recommend the Galaxy Note 3 over the iPhone 5S. It's just simply a more superior phone. Being an android phone, you won't get bored of it, thanks to the customizations. Many people say you don't get joy out of the customization. That is not true as if you you navigate and search your way around more efficiently, you'll get joy out of that.
Have you ever seen an iOS user who has a lockscreen that doesn't look like the default one? Have you seen an iPhone user whose keyboard looks different to anyone else? Probably not. And you definitely never seen an Apple user who has a different operating system installed.
This is not the case with Android phones.
You see people with many ROMS and OS installed on the phone: stock, cyanogenmod, ubuntu, even windows! Anyone can easily change the look and input of keyboards, lockscreens, etc. There are many modifications out there, coded by expert which you can easily install on your phone. These modifications include lag-free OS, faster speed, faster boot, etc.
All these nice features are not available on the iPhone 5S. Apple services are known to be daft and not very user-friendly. The Note 3 runs Android 4.2.2, a Google software so it will naturally come with amazing and user-friendly services such as Google Translate, Google Maps and all those stuff.
You also don't have to root an Android phone to install third-party programs whereas on apple, you will need to jailbreak your phone (very hard to and it's not good for your phone, it can crash). So with a connecting cable, you can easily transfer books, music and more from your computer. For apple, the media has to be installed from the App store, not from online or from other sources.
For example, if I want to install a program from online, it will be denied on iPhone. On Galaxy Note 3, you can easily do so via APK files. This does mean you can PirateBay and get paid apps for free too. Android phones can also be emulated via your computer (extremely handy).
One last point, on Android you have so many browsers, email platforms/clients, camera apps, etc. Lets say I sent you an email with a link on it. On Note, you can open the link with any browser as long as you have it installed. You can even set it as default. On iOS, even if you have another browser installed, it will always open it with Safari. Then you'll have to copy the link from Safari and open the other browser and then paste it in. That's so unnecessary! You can't even change the default programs. Same goes with email clients, movie players, music players, etc.
Considering hardware as well, you get a better processor, more RAM, better camera with more features. iPhone 5S really does seem like a big loser.
All in all, if you can, definitely go for the Galaxy Note 3.
Android vs iOS war has come to an end already. It's pretty clear android won. So for software, Note 3 is better (android 4.2.2, upgradeable to android 4.3).
For hardware, considering specs, Note 3 comes with WAY better processor, ram, camera and more. Definitely Note 3.

WOAH!
Many people seem to fear the Note/Mega's size. Samsung phones can reach up to 6.3 inches (mega 6.3)! I promise you'll get use to it. In the end, you'll see the Note as a normal sized phone and you'll see other phones as really small!
Good luck choosing,
Mike
samsung wave 2 or samsung galaxy mini, which is the better phone?
Q.
A. The Samsung S5570 Galaxy Mini has a well proportioned touchscreen and compact body shape measurement with high 11.04cm 6.08cm wide and 1.21cm deep, allowing the user to hold and use the Mini Galaxy S5570 in a single hand. A 3.1-inch touch screen offers easy to use touch-screen controls and a beautiful colorful look. This screen supports an auto rotate feature that the user handset between their horizontal and vertical mode and the screens turn will react to the movements of the possible. The case weighs one hundred and five grams with rechargeable battery fitted which feels good to hold when in use. The Galaxy Mini Samsung has a very Corby-like appearance with a very compact design.
iphone or samsung galaxy and why?
Q.
A. The Samsung Galaxy S phones and the Apple iPhone 4 all feature multitouch screens, 5MP cameras, GPS, and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi.
Each handset offers different, yet comparable operating systems and processors. The Galaxy uses the Android 2.1 (upgradeable to yet-unveiled 2.2) OS and the iPhone uses Appleâs iOS4. The iPhone has the 1GHz Apple A4 processor and the Galaxy comes equipped with the 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor.
Each device scores winning points in several other areas; for example, the Galaxy uses a Capacitive Super AMOLED display and the iPhone comes with the Capacitive Retina IPS display; however, the resolution on the iPhone is 640x960 pixels and the Galaxy only provides 480x800 pixels
nternal memory includes 16GB or 32GB on the iPhone, and a smaller 8GB or 16GB on the Galaxy, but only the Galaxy can be expanded another 32GB through a microSD card slot.
For the office, the Samsung Galaxy S series can handle the work. The capability to store more music and photos, unless you're in the entertainment business, or own a music store or a photo studio, is just icing on the cake. The real benefit is that since the phone can hold so much data, you can travel with the assurance that everything you need is on it.
The Galaxy S touts better Bluetooth--3.0 with A2DP on the Galaxy, and 2.1 with A2DP on the iPhone. The Galaxy also has an FM radio and Adobe Flash support with the 2.2 update; the iPhone lacks both.
As far as size and weight, the differences are negligible. The iPhone wins on size with dimensions of 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3mm, compared to the Galaxyâs 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9mm. But, the Galaxy weighs less at 118 grams, while the iPhone is 137 grams.
Apple says talk time is up to seven hours with 300 hours of standby time. Samsung claims 6.5 hours of talk time and 576 standby hours.
Buyers of the iPhone 4G, however, are already suffering due to an antenna issue that is causing calls to drop over the globe. The antenna on this device is a thin band that wraps around the phone. When users hold the phone a certain way, their hands block the antenna and they lose the signal. The other issue is that the iPhone overheats and drops calls, freezes apps, and creates several other navigational problems.
Apple will definitely lose points on these problems. We won't know until the Galaxy S models reach the masses if similar glitches would mar it.
It wouldn't be fair to compare devices and mention all of the Galaxy S's hot features without the glitches. Critics of the Galaxy S line say it has a cheap plastic case with noisy buttons that vibrate, a weaker GPS signal than expected, and some downloading problems. However, the GPS and download issues seem to be a local concern, which Samsung has supposedly already addressed.
For the office, the Samsung Galaxy S expanded memory slot is a plus. In addition, the TV-out support on the Galaxy means you can display a slide-show presentation from your phone, say, to any of your clients' televisions. And we thought the iPads and netbooks were efficient. In addition, the Galaxy's camera takes 720p HD videos, so you could, for instance, point and shoot videos of seminars, training events, conferences, sales meetings, negotiations, depositions, and then press a few buttons and send the videos back to the office or to another customer.
Before you make a company-wide purchase, though, be sure to closely examine the service providerâs special features, prices, and service plans. Amazon Kindle, a slide-out keyboard, or enhanced touchscreen options on a Galaxy model might be enough reason for some to change carriers or phones. The available business apps for the Android or iOS4 should also factor into any buying decision.
