Comparison: iocean x7 hd vs samsung galaxy s3

Today we will check the strength of our iOcean X7 HD against one of the greats of Samsung, the Galaxy S3. Throughout the article we will see if this new Chinese low cost is at the height of the competition or at least, it is at the cost, offering us a good quality / price ratio. In professional Review we are aware that we are talking about two smartphones of different range, what we are looking to find is if the proportions of their costs are in line with that of their characteristics. We begin:

Design: the iOcean X7HD has dimensions of 141 mm high × 69 × 8.95 millimeters thick . Its casing is made of aluminum. The Samsung for its part has a size of 136.6 mm high × 70.6 mm wide × 8.6 mm thick and weighs 133 grams . We can find it available in navy blue and white.

Connectivity : 4G / LTE makes an appearance on the Samsung (depending on the market), otherwise we will have to content ourselves with more basic connections such as WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth or FM radio.

Internal memory : while the Samsung model has two different terminals for sale, one 16 and the other 32 GB, the iOcean X7HD only has a model on the market with 4 GB of ROM. However, we must emphasize that both terminals have the possibility of expanding their memory through micro SD cards, up to 32 GB if we talk about the iOcean and up to 64 GB in the case of the Galaxy S3.

Screen: The one on the iOcean is 5 inches, while the one on the Galaxy is 4.8 inches AMOLED (it consumes less energy and is more visible in sunlight) HD , both with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The two also share IPS technology, making it possible for them to have very sharp colors and have a wide viewing angle. The Samsung for its part uses accident protection: Gorilla Glass 2.

Camera: Both main lenses have 8 megapixels, with focal aperture f / 2.2 in the case of the iOcean and BSI technology (which improves snapshots in low light conditions), in addition to an LED flash, in both cases. The front cameras of the S3 and X7 have 1.3 and 2 megapixels respectively, useful in any case for video conferencing or photography. As for the video recordings, they are made in HD 720p at 30 fps in the case of the Galaxy.

Processor: In the case of the iOcean we have a 1.30 GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6582 CPU, while the SoC that accompanies the Samsung is 1.4 GHz 4-core Exynos 4 Quad. They share a graphics chip from the same manufacturer: Mali400MP for the Galaxy S3 and Mali400MP2 for the iOcean . Both have 1 GB of RAM and Android as the operating system in version 4.2 Jelly Bean for the iOcean and 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich if we refer to the Samsung.

Battery : While the capacity of the Samsung is 2100 mAh, the iOcean comes with a 2000 mAh capacity or another 3000 mAh. As we can see, both smartphones are accompanied by batteries that will have a not insignificant autonomy, although it will also depend on the type of use that we give to the terminal (games, videos, etc.).

Price and availability: the iOcean model can be ours from the website electronicabarata.es for 154.99 euros. Another option is to purchase it directly from China for a price equivalent to 96 euros, without of course counting customs costs. Otherwise it will take time to see it in Spain, since these days it is being launched on the market in your country. The S3 for its part is a phone that is currently around 300 euros as a free terminal, whose prices vary around 20 euros depending on the color of the device (seen on pccomponentes.com).
