The last thing anybody wants is being asked whats the difference between the newly announced Galaxy Note 3 and last year's Samsung Phablet Flagship: Galaxy Note 2. So we have created a comparison table for you guys to bong on your heads before you get out there and get yourself killed in the smartphone (not to be taken in the literal sense). Read on to find out which smartphone actually makes sense to buy with your hard earned money.
The day Galaxy Note 2 was announced we all knew that Samsung was redefining the smartphone market like it did by making the first phablet. Now with the Note 3 we can definitely say Samsung is taking a step further. Just like every other Samsung flagship be it a non-phablet or a phablet, it always packs the most cutting edge design and tech. But will this cut-throat competition be a battle ground for other smartphones to survive? Take a deep breath (just in case you're awe stricken) because we know you wont have any left after you read the comparison table between the Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy Note 2.
