Two Samsung smartphones are dominating the Android market - the latest Galaxy 4 and the Note 2. Compare the specs below to see which one is right for you.
Samsung unveiled its latest smartphone, the Galaxy S4, last month at an event in New York. The new phone features a huge 5-inch FULL HD Super AMOLED screen and a slim bezel encased in a polycarbonate body. This makes it the lightest Galaxy phone to date. It comes with the Exynos octo-core processor running at 1.6GHz.
It runs on 2,600mAh battery, which is significantly bigger than Galaxy 3's 2,100mAh battery. The 13megapixel camera is impressive. It also comes with a front 2-megapixel BSI camera.
The Galaxy S4 will be available in white frost or black mist. It comes with cool features such as face recognition and audio / animate option for photos.
The bigger Samsung Galaxy Note 2, which is preferred by consumers who want bigger screens, comes with similar features to that of the reigning Galaxy phones. Note 2 features the biggest screen at 5.5-inch HD Super AMOLED display, which will give its owners a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. The bigger handset on the Note 2 can be both a good and bad quality depending on what type of phone users are going for. It also comes with an 8 megapixel camera with a 1.9 megapixel front camera.
The Note 2 is equipped with a 3,100 mAh battery with a talk time of up to 16 hours with 3G usage. Samsung's device also comes with support for SD card, NFC and a battery that is removable.
