Galaxy Note 3 is a true gem. It is not only large, powerful and incredibly fast, it also still has an incredibly sharp 5.7-inch screen and an impressive battery life, with the Koreans really do not have to hide. More importantly, the Grade 3 waits in comparison to its predecessor Galaxy Note 2 with an even slimmer design on, provides a further refined S-Pen interface and it also still comes with the same great camera which is installed already in S4.
the third note generation coming up now because of the significant upgrade and further optimized for pen input surface, it should also be the first note that is suitable for mass production and is likely to stimulate the desire to buy. So many other flagship can still cut a slice of it, and even skeptics since it could to bring the good old Palm Treo yet again to grab a phone with stylus.
class=”wp_keywordlink”> Samsung offers the XL smartphone in black and white. Without a contract, is the retail price for the Galaxy Note 3 at 749 euros proud, with some dealers but it is currently 630 to 700 euro to get. At o ? are the Grade 3 LTE for 699 euros, the E-Plus BASE seller leads as available with the Grade 3 Neuvertragspaketen.
What’s new in Galaxy Note 3?Grade 3 represents a massive improvement over the previous models dar. Essentially, the Galaxy Note 3 provides a larger 5.7-inch full HD screen, far more extensive S-Pen features and the S-Note App. In addition, a thinner and lighter casing, noticeably more processor power and a new news app from the forge of Flipboard.
design and furnishingsSamsung’s extensive revision is noticeable already at the outer appearance. In our view, it looks much more elegant and exclusive than the previous two models. With its dimensions of 151.2 times 79.2 is slightly smaller than its predecessor (151 times 81 times 9.45 mm) and a height of 8.3 millimeters even a shade thinner than the mark 2 with its 9.45 millimeters. Nevertheless, the display has grown from 5.5 to 5.7 Zentimter. Overall, the new note has also become easier. It now takes only 168 instead of 182 grams on the scale.

Samsung has a bit to go in terms of design of the rather soft corners and edges and the plastic design of previous Galaxy Notes and also the S4. Thus, the latest score 3 now a rectangular chassis with chrome colored, chamfered edges and a back which is intended to convey the feel of leather. This leather-like back cover somehow reminds me of Samsonite bags from the ’60s. Rounding out this retro-ride through the imitation, false seams, the round adorn the back of the smartphone.
Even if the back is made of plastic, Samsung has given clear effort to make it look like leather (Photo: CNET)
.
But this design modification is not only the look but also has a deeper meaning. So stay on the textured surface of the rear back no ugly fingerprints and also so that the device can also hold up better. Certainly there will be plenty of users on this new look is too much of a good thing and something for the Grade 3 so looks rather cheap. Despite all efforts, the back is just now out of plastic and not leather. Despite all Gemeckers: Samsung has the Grade 3 missed a beautiful and distinctive look, in comparison to the slippery and rather cheap-looking plastic chassis of the two previous models .

is also the 13-megapixel camera along with LED flash on the back of the touch 3rd If you take the back cover, is a lot like show popular features, most notably a replaceable 3200 mAh high capacity battery and a microSD slot. Interestingly, the SD slot is sitting just above the micro-SIM support, which means nothing other than that you have to remove the battery if you want to reach the SD card slot to upgrade memory.
The S-Pen elegantly disappears below the housing (Photo: CNET).
The S Pen is in a sheath at the lower end of Grade 3 at home. Otherwise, the device with just three buttons comes from: a tiny on-off button on the right side, a small volume control on the left side and a large oval home button under the screen. Right and left of it are still the two sensor keys “menu” and “back”).
Above the display is the 2-megapixel front camera for self-portraits, video chat, et cetera. At the top of the note 3 to the 3.5 mm jack is located on the headphone cord.
At the bottom of a grade 3 slot seems at first like a Samsung proprietary connection, but these are just a combination of micro-USB and new USB 3.0 socket. USB 3.0 provides faster loading and up to ten times faster data transfers compared to the older USB 2.0 standard – if you have the right PC to

of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 screen is simply fantastic, can not be said otherwise. It measures a generous 5.7 inches diagonally and the AMOLED display provides an excellent clear presentation in HD resolution (1920 × 1080 pixels) with amazing 386 ppi. Thus, a level of detail is achieved with the score 3 provides even the smaller screens of the iPhone 5S (4 inches, 326 ppi) and the Samsung Galaxy S 4 (5-inch, 441 ppi) in the shade.

In any case, the music offers a 3 completely different visual experience than grade 2 (5.5 inches, 267 ppi 1280 × 720 pixels). Thus, the Grade 2 text represents noticeably less sharp than the score 3 And while the HTC One on the technically sharper display has (4.7 inch, 468 ppi), yet be visible area is compared to the Galaxy Note 3 downright cute.
pronounced contrast display of the most recent rating model also shows well-saturated colors, comes with deep blacks and wide viewing angle. As with the Grade 2 there are also five screen modes to choose from (optimize display, dynamic, standard, professional photography and film), each adjusted color settings. In the test movie mode like best because it provides the most natural colors. Samsung has this mode apparently still readjusted because it makes the colors now look even more lifelike than in the same range at second note
And because the screen is brighter and sharper than that of its predecessor, is on the Grade 3 everything can somehow Consider, for captivating experience. The movie characters literally jump out of the screen and the details of photos and videos are incredibly accurate. Even surfing through desktop versions of websites – an endeavor that is not on devices with smaller displays highly recommended – is not unpleasant to the eyes
. not be underestimated: the S Pen
Probably even sworn Galaxy Note S Pen their followers will rarely use – at least those who do not work primarily with complex systems of signs or pictographs. In the third generation Samsung Note, however, expect to have more users from the S Pen and possibilities of convincing. To this end, the company has revised the S-Pen-handling and for users of the note 3 (and the new touch-10.1 tablets) preferably optimizes the known abilities, instead of overburdening them with confusing new features and functions.
beats Samsung in Note 3 the correct direction and bringing the first S-Pen version, when we actually prefers to attack the pin. How it works:
.:
Once you take out the S Pen, the new Air Command (CNET photo) opens
soon as you drag the stylus from its holder, automatically appears a small, fan-shaped menu that is called Air Command. It can also start from any position or app out by holding the pen close to the screen and press the S Pen button. But this innovation – the introduction of Air Command – goes a long way to making the S Pen also for ordinary consumers finally a convincing tool
.
older notes, the S-Pen features were still scattered throughout the OS, where they were often overlooked or forgotten. Air Command against all gathered in one place. In addition, all focused on five main functions: Action Memo, scrapbook, write screen, and S Pen Finder window. You simply just type the desired function in the menu and away you go.
Using ActionScript memo can write memos with the S Pen and select actions on how to save a contact or sending E-mail (Photo: CNET).
Action Memo recognized handwritten pen input and offers to a handful of options, how can further proceed with the listed information. They can, for example, write down names or numbers and you then have the option to email the data to be stored in the contacts to use as a text or to locate on the map. Action Memo converts notes in order checklists and can synchronize them for safe keeping even with Evernote.
course, this works in practice not always perfect. So it was a smartphone but difficult in the test – convert handwriting to text – an admittedly terrible. Often, the entry had to be repeated several times until memo recognized correctly, which should be noted.
Scrapbook remembers with the S Pen circled images and content, whether photos, websites or YouTube clips. You can store as many content and find them later on the album app.
test that works quite well. Photos and other material can be captured and then save directly to the personal scrapbook. Even if you are not one of those who lead scrapbooks in real life or use in the virtual world sites like Pinterest, the feature is certainly handy if you researched on topics in which you have to sift through a lot of pictures (new fashion, new interior et cetera).
The Finder S may be thought of as a comprehensive search. The function Browsed through the entire device memory for key words, also captures handwritten notes and at the end shows a list of documents with the requested information.
Pen Window dragging a window on the screen and then choose an app that you want to run in this framework. If you just run the mail client or the browser, for example, before one opens a small floating window for calculator, telephone or contacts. That’s an interesting idea that could be very helpful in some situations.
An example: You’re reading the mail and has the left hand phone contacts for callbacks ready while you search messages on links and endorsements. Of course, it takes about three steps to make such an app window functional – the alternative is to simply switch back and forth between apps .
Thanks to the large screen, multi-tasking is not a problem on the Galaxy Note 3rd The large 5.7-inch display allows two application windows open simultaneously and contents easily from one window to another move (Photo: CNET).
The advanced multi-window will prove to be very useful, especially for power users who juggle with data from various apps at the same time. The function allows you to open two windows at the same time and move information between them by drag to drop. This is extremely useful, for example if you take location information directly from an e-mail and thus creates appointments in the calendar. You can also add window pairs for reuse.
software, user interface & Co.Although it is not yet KitKat, but the Galaxy Note 3 runs with Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean), ie with the currently latest version of Android. Android KitKat is known to appear so in the foreseeable future, and it is hoped that an update for the Grade 3 can not wait too long.
In turnis the Samsung’s own user interface, formerly known under the name TouchWiz. Aside from all the S-Pen extensions, it is essentially the same interface as on the Galaxy S4.
AlthoughThe Samsung UI is highly functional and packed with features and settings, but the surface is more confusing than the other smartphone manufacturers. The mere sight of the menu for quick settings in the Notification Shade could have stress one or the other. HTC Sense on the HTC one as easier to understand, as is the low-level Android UI on Motorola Moto X.
is new on the score 3 in any case that Samsung has already summarized certain applications in the app tray in their own folders, especially the folder contains “Samsung”, the shortcuts to various Samsung applications and services. Among the highlights are the pedometer and Health Action S Memo, S Voice (voice command) and Group Play, which can share photos and movies with other Galaxy devices, as well as tools such as My Files and the voice recorder.
Interestingly, all installed packed Google programs in a separate folder. He almost would have been overlooked, because a “normal” Google Android apps otherwise never sorted that. This folder contains Gmail, Google Search, Google+ for social networkers and the icons for Play, Books, Games, Movies, and Music.
With My Magazine Samsung offers a splash screen in Flipboard-style. So that makes flipping through the news, et cetera quite fun (Photo: CNET).
also a feature of HTC has taken up: the flash news feed aggregator, which it first announced the HTC one. Now you can sweep on the score 3 and above on the home screen, My Magazine launches. This News Monitor uses the technique of the popular Flipboard app and served various posts and news sites.
Similar to the HTC solution however, it is impossible to remove My Magazine, because it is apparently rooted directly in Note 3 OS. In addition, you have no control over which media and websites, the aggregator reads. Further than the selection of topics, the My Magazines then served, not the rich possibilities of fine-tuning.
CameraWho knows the photo capabilities of the Galaxy S4 and estimates will not complain about the digital camera Note 3: The device installed same sharp 13-megapixel sensor together with the associated LED flash light

The camera app in the Galaxy Note 3 is bursting with features and settings (Photo: CNET).
photo app of grade 3 offers a rich variety of modes, unlike, say, Motorola smart phones, which provide only the basic supply of menus and settings. In fact, the camera options of grade 3 are the same as on the Galaxy S4. They range from really practical modes such as HDR, burst shot and panorama, to more odd settings such as beauty or Facebook Golf (characterized by the momentum at impact) and a mode of moving people and objects in the background fades. Not least you can tweak individually with practically any image property of the photo and video size on the ISO setting and white balance for light up.
Interior succeed sharp and well lit (Photo: CNET).
Indoors, the rating takes 3 Still life with excellent quality, with vibrant colors and great detail. The interior shots appear properly exposed and white balance works in automatic mode correctly.
Even infants who move fast, are no problem for the camera (Photo: CNET).
the outdoor shots the score 3 also gives the flowers pictures with very vivid colors again, even on cloudy days. The details are in focus, particularly in the highest resolution (4128 × 3096 pixels).
leaves and flowers pictures seem very lively (Photo: CNET).
addition, the score 3 – is virtually ready to go – as well as other top models in the League One and HTC Galaxy S4. This makes it flexible enough to capture even the most difficult subjects such hampelnde small children or pets davonflitzende perfect.
The only area in which the grade 3 not impressed, are shooting in low light conditions. Although the Fill a pretty good job and people in dark corners evenly lit, but without the flash, the sensor gets just not enough light to achieve truly impressive results.
