Apple iPhone 6 Plus vs. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs. LG G3

Since the iPhone 6 Plus now official, we can finally placed it in the heavyweight league, plus-sized Android superstars – the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the LG G3.

The iPhone 6 Plus already has a  screen large enough to be next to the LG G3 and Samsung Note 4, but is it mature enough? Well, in the display section the 5.5″ size is similar to the G3′s and in the same ballpark as the 5.7″ of the Note 4. Moreover, the iPhone 6 Plus features a 1080p resolution, whereas its rivals are boasting QHD screens.

This makes it behind in the display department, but the iPhone 6 Plus is the thinnest at 7.1mm with the weight of 172 grams. The Note 4 is just 4 grams heavier than the iPhone 6 Plus and G3 is the most light-weighted with mere 149 grams.

The camera specifications is another area where the iPhone 6 Plus gets destroyed by the LG G3 and Galaxy Note 4 with their respective 13MP and 16MP cameras. Although it has gained OIS, the 8MP snapper of the iPhone 6 Plus seems to be a bit behind the curve there.

At least, the connectivity suite of the iPhone 6 Plus is a big update with NFC  and Wi-Fi 802.11ac . The 20-band LTE coverage is also impressive.

Apple iPhone 6 Plus vs. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs. LG G3

Galaxy Note 4 unwrapped!

Samsung has announced its next-generation phablet,Galaxy Note 4 -ahead of the IFA 2014 tech expo in Berlin. Galaxy Note 4 has a 5.7-inch display that is curved from the left to right. It is the first mainstream Samsung phone to feature a curved screen.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a praiseworthy successor to the legendary phablet family with every feature put into overdrive. It’s the first Note not to grow the screen size, which remains at 5.7″, but it.

Samsung has enhanced the display resolution in Galaxy Note series, from Full HD (1080x1920p) in Note 3 to QHD (1440x2560p) in Note 4. Obviously,it is Super AMOLED covered by 2.5D Gorilla Glass 3. It has nearly 80% more pixels thanks to its new QHD resolution pushing the pixel density from 386ppi to 515ppi.

Under the hood, the Indian version of Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has an octa-core processor (1.9GHz quad-core + 1.3GHz quad-core); the international variant has a 2.7GHz quad-core processor of mysterious make. The phablet comes with 3GB RAM and internal memory of 32GB(also support for 64GB microSD card). There’s a 3,220mAh battery powering the phablet with a provision of adding the optional Qi wireless charging panel if you like.

The camera department has been upgraded featuring a 16MP rear shooter with optical image stabilization. The front-facing camera has a 3.7MP resolution that allows users to take wide-angle selfies (120-degree).

Galaxy S5 features like fingerprint sensor embedded in the Home key and heart rate monitor on the back also finds a place in Galaxy Note 4. Samsung has also included a hall sensor and barometer in its new phablet. It features three microphones for noise suppression that is so advanced that a special app can silence selected sources of noise from an audio recording.

On the software side, Samsung has used an interface that is largely the same as that of Galaxy S5. The phablet will run Android 4.4 KitKat at launch with all the new TouchWiz features Samsung has come up since the Galaxy S5 launch .It also comes with additional software optimized to make use of the S Pen stylus. The accompanying software (S Note, Multi-window) has also been enhanced. The S Note app gets its own widget on the Galaxy Note 4, so that users can access the core functionality of the stylus as soon as they unlock it. A new Snap Note app will turn photos of printed documents into editable text.

The Galaxy Note 4 has a metal frame like the Galaxy Alpha and a faux leather back, which will come in Charcoal black, Blossom Pink, Bronze Gold and  and Frosted white. There’s no water resistance though (again, like the Galaxy Alpha).

The phablet will be available in October, the pricing isn’t announced just yet.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 4 camera gets fully detailed

Well, as days for the official launch of Galaxy Note 4 are closing in, more details regarding the flagship are popping out day by day. Just after when we spotted a teaser video for the device, more details revealing few specs of the device have appeared on web. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 camera details show the device to be packing a powerful 16MP primary camera with Sony IMX240 camera sensor having optical image stabilization.

This camera sensor is similar to what has been offered in the recently announced Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A. the unit is capable enough to record 4K UHD videos at 30fps. On the other hand, the camera on the front side is supposed to measure a 3.7MP secondary camera that will be able to capute images and record videos in WQHD resolution of 2560×1440 pixels. This is a considerable jump from the 2.1MP camera that is being rumored since quite long. Moreover, the camera will also have additional feature like Slide Touch as well as some gesture based method that will be able to activate the device even with screen off.

The Slide Touch feature will be activated via a built-in sensor that is supposed to be placed at the bottom right corner which will act as a dedicated camera button. The camera module is also supposed to feature four more new camera models that include Selfie, Wide Selfie, Selfie Alarm and create a GIF file. The Galaxy Note 4 will too host all the features as found in the Galaxy S5. The Samsung Galaxy Note is carrying up all the high expectations from fans and we are sure they would not be left disappointed on September 3^rd when the device is likely to be announced officially.

Galaxy Alpha might be metal iPhone 6 adversary

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Alpha is expected to be the company’s response to the upcoming iPhone 6. Photos posted on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo reveals that the device is made of metal with a 4.8-inch screen and a “flagship S5 configuration,” which presumably means it has the same specs as the Galaxy S5.

Apple fans will quickly notice the chamfered edges in the pictures — a technique that Apple has used on both its iPhones and iPads. The leaker also says that the back is still removable, and pictures show the typical fingernail slot to peel away the back panel. There’s that physical Home button, which Samsung has been using for years, and the metal antenna band that’s become synonymous with Apple. The Galaxy Alpha is still running the same modified version of Android found on other Galaxy phones though, and the back apparently features the same dimpled plastic design found on the Galaxy S5.

Under the hood, the Galaxy Alpha is expected to offer a mix of high and mid-range specs, including a 4.8-inch 720p display, an Exynos 5433 octa-core processor, a 12-megapixel camera, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of non-expandable storage and a Nano SIM slot.

Reports suggest that Galaxy Alpha could be launched on August 13, a month earlier than Apple’s rumoured launch date for the iPhone 6. Apart from this, Samsung is all set to release the next in the Galaxy Note series – the Note 4 on September 3. The 5.7-inch Note 4 will sport a 20.7MP camera with optical image stabilisation and 4K recording.

Samsung Galaxy F spotted once again in a new image.

The Samsung Galaxy F is making much noise these days and has previously leaked several times. The Galaxy F is speculated as the next premium flagship from the Samsung camp along with the Galaxy Note 4. Online leakster @evleaks has released one more image for the device. The Galaxy F is supposed to be the first smartphone from Samsung hosting a metal body rather than plastic. Earlier images of the Galaxy F in glowing gold had been released by Evleaks showing up the gold border of the device.

The Samsung Galaxy is supposedly to host a full HD or Quad HD Display with powerful Snapdragon 805 SoC at heart and 16MP camera with a premium metal body finish. So if the metal finish of the Galaxy F turns out to be a real deal, Samsung could club it with its own polycarbonate and imitation textures like the faux-leather as seen in case of the LG G3.
