Why Samsung's Note 3 Neo is a great value for money

Samsung recently realized that to tap into a market of social media lovers, big screen and camera lovers, which all culminate into students and Samsung brand lovers the costs of its high end and the best product so far on the market Note 3 was a little high. So to tap into this market it tweaked the model a bit (much less for the price) and offers now a Note 3 Neo which was earlier sold at a high price range when launched but currently at approximately 26,000 INR it has a lot to offer than other phones in the same range. The look as you can see is almost similar, so no compromises there anyways and it has a big screen too, the USP of Note.



Lets see why it is a good value for money.

Differences between Note 3 and Note 3 Neo:
1. Screen size is 5.5 inches just 0.2 smaller than Note 3 (not bad at all). Still a large screen phone for those who like it big.

2. Battery is just 100mAh lesser, now can you believe that.

3. Internal memory is just 16Gb compared to 32 Gn, but then that is good enough as many high end phones in this range still offer 8Gb only and that is still a good space for games and other storage.

4. 2GB RAM, not bad for the price. Competitive as per the market trends.

5. Primary camera 8 MP, of course somewhere you have to compromise but then 8MP of samsung is still amazing and beats Carl Zeiss camers by Nokia.

6. Processor 1.7 hexa core which is way better than Samsung Note 3. Finally a gain somewhere isn't it?

So what Are you thinking just go for it!

Gadget Review: Mobile Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note III

One of my best friends got this phone and he has been using it for six months now, with me checking it out on and off and so I decided to write this review.



If you love a huge phone with a good camera and a great touch screen than this one is for you. I being a hard core blogger this is a dream. This is one of the trendsetters of the large phone categories and the boss of them all before Note 4 releases tomorrow which is still bigger. However its truly a Phablet a much needed and convenient hybrid of a phone and a tablet.

Pro's:

Screen Size: With a 5.7 inches screen size its big, clear and crystal like, perfect for viewing documents, reading them and since the screen is large editing and working on them is convenient as well. You acn write on the go and with this phone you don't need a tablet. Also if you are not comfortable writing you can directly write with the stylus and that is just handy.

Camera: Samsung has outcompeted other brands for its pricing chiefly and the camera. In the selfie crazy times the 5 mega pixel primary camera boasts of providing you a better picture than any other phone . It rear camera is 13 mega pixel which is where the most basic camera's start from, guess what you got that in a phone. The modes are amazing, especially a beautify mode that helps you remove your scars from your skin right while taking the picture. Designed keeping in mind the ladies, well done.

Memory:3 Gb RAM, 32 Gb internal memory and the micro Sd card expandable upto 64 gb, now beat that! Again you can save your documents and work on them on the go, good for writers and business professionals.

Con's:
Processor:  Lacks the feel of Snapdragon though it says 1.9. However a good free space due to huge internal memory and a good RAM pulls of  most games.

Battery Life: The joke in town always is that Samsung's phones however elite are mostly in charging thereby giving one a feeling of using landlines. Sarcasm apart the 3200mAh Li-Ion works decently runing upto 12 hours. The plus part is that it gets charged very fast. 

At the current price of approximate 40,000 INR this is the best investment you can make and have one device that finally satiates you as both a phone and a tablet.


Gadget Review : Samsung Galaxy Ace

I believe firmly that a true review of a gadget is not the one that you do when it comes out but minimum six months post its use, because that is how the sturdiness of the gadget is tested, also whether it stands true to the test of times is known only then. 


                                  Samsung Galaxy Ace Black

I bought this device exactly three years ago in 2011 and it was the first smartphone I bought. It was also the first buy from my PhD stipend and hence a very crucial choice as to how to spend each hard earned penny. This phone was the best suited to my budget then, its price was 14,000 INR. The camera as all Samsung camera's were amazing. The only problem had been low internal memory 2GB only so even with an 8GB microSD storage to which I had upgraded later with my active whats app, gmail running I had no space for twitter and facebook and with each update for an app I had to delete something. However this was a common problem with all the phones than so no complains. Its touch was excellent.

However all was well only until one day I forgot it near the basin and water entered it. I spend INR 4500 to get it repaired from samsung service centre at Bhikaji Cama Place in New Delhi and they did a good job for the exhorbitant amount they charged but alas the camera was gone. It had become grainy and lost resolution, to which they responded they couldn't do anything. Further more post an year of use the touch screen became less sensitive and the phone hanged every minute, even when you received the most important calls. Therefore the only suggestion to the buyers of this phone and the Samsung Galaxy S and Duos series is to get a review from someone who is using the gadget for more than six months. I still feel if you are a camera lover Samsung can give you the best pictures. So research before you buy.
