The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the LG Nexus 5 are two of the best and most high-end smartphones as of late. And although one is a phablet while the other is simply a smartphone, we will try our best to draw the line when it comes to the better device generally speaking. If you are one of those who want to know the real score between the Galaxy Note 3 and the Nexus 5, then this review article will serve as your guideline on your next sound purchase.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 over LG Nexus 5
The best phablet device is already here and the latest installment of Samsung for its Note series is without a doubt something that speaks a lot of volumes in many ways than one. The first noticeable thing about these two devices is the magnificent screen resolution they sport which is at 1080p resolution. Nowadays, smartphones with bigger screen size can noticeably become the head turner especially if its display is in full HD, In this round, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 takes the helm with its 5.7" HD display as opposed to LG Nexus 5's relatively smaller 4.95" screen size which is even a tad smaller compared to the displays of the Galaxy S4, Sony Xperia Z, and the HTC One.
Additionally, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 also takes the lead in terms of note-taking functionality or any functionality that involves the use of a stylus. As we all know the Note series of Samsung is specially designed for people who enjoy organizing or even creating a lot of things using their smartphones. Samsung Galaxy Note 3's S Pen will give you all of these and more. But this is of course subject to the scrutiny of users, and it pretty much relies mainly on the preference of the users. If one intends to have a handset with writing, note-taking, and drawing functionality, the best option is the Galaxy Note 3. But if you prefer the simpler option, the LG Nexus 5 - which does not come with a stylus - is already a winner ahead of time.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is also the leading handset when it comes to removable battery. Samsung definitely understands that many people prefer to carry around a spare battery instead of the unit charger; hence, most if not all of its smartphones - Galaxy Note 3 included - have removable back covers and batteries all the same.
LG Google Nexus over Samsung Galaxy Note 3
The LG Nexus 5 is the fifth installment of the Nexus smartphone series, and as usual it stands out above many smartphones because of its high-end profile. The first thing that you will notice about this device is the fact that it sports Android 4.4 Kitkat out of the box. This is the main feature that the makers of the device is using to lure many consumers since KitKat is the latest available Android OS as of late.
Between the two smartphones, the LG Nexus 5 scores better when it comes to pricing and affordability. While the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is valued at $899 for the unlocked model and priced at $299 with a two-year lock-in contract, the LG Nexus 5 comes in a much affordable pricing at $349 for its 16GB unlocked model and $399 for its 32GB unlocked model.
Finally, although the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 may come out as the sure-fire winner when talking about processors and RAM, we are giving credit to the LG Nexus 5 instead simply because it flaunts a competitive processor given its price range. The Galaxy Note 3 has a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chip with 3GB of RAM and an Adreno 330 GPU. Meanwhile, the LG Nexus 5 comes with the same quad-core Snapdragon processor, an Adreno 330 graphics chip, and 2GB of RAM.
