Comparison: lenovo a850 vs samsung galaxy note 3

After the passage of the Galaxy Note 2 through our combats with the Chinese terminal Lenovo A850, now it is the turn of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Almost no one doubts the quality of the Smartphone manufactured by Samsung, which this time measures its strength with a phone that has characteristics worthy of being taken into account. Once we know each of the specifications of these terminals, the time will come to reach conclusions about which of them has the best value for money. Let's start:

Technical characteristics:

Designs: The Lenovo has dimensions of 153.5 mm high x 79.3 mm wide x 9.5 mm thick, turning out to be somewhat larger than the Note 3 with its 151.2 mm high x 79, 2 mm wide x 8.3 mm thick and 168 grams, although this difference is almost imperceptible.The Note 3 has a rough metallic strip on the sides that is attached to a plastic casing with a touch similar to leather, and that gives it an elegant look. The Lenovo also features a sturdy plastic body in two colors: white or black.

Screens: They are of a very similar size, but even if just a little, the Note 3 is superior thanks to its 5.7 inches, compared to the 5.5 inches that the Lenovo presents. They also do not coincide in resolution, being 1920 x 1080 pixels in the case of the Galaxy and 960 x 540 pixels if we refer to the A850. The IPS technology presented by the Chinese terminal gives it an almost complete viewing angle and very vivid colors. The Note 3 features super AMOLED technology, boasting higher brightness, lower power consumption and less reflective sunlight.

Cameras: The main objective of the Galaxy is 13 megapixels and features such as the CRI LED flash and Smart Stabilization, which allows you to take high-quality photos even in low light. The one of the Lenovo stays in the 5 megapixels, also with LED flash. As for the front cameras, the VGA sensor of the A850 is surpassed by the 2 megapixels that the Note 3 presents. The video recording is done in 4K quality (frame size of 3840 x 2160 pixels) that we can fully enjoy if we have at hand a monitor capable of displaying such a large number of pixels, for example, Samsung UHDs.

Processors: A 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU accompanies the Note 3, along with the Adreno 330 graphics chip. The Galaxy brings with it 3GB RAM. The Lenovo for its part has a Mediatek MT6582M Cortex A-7 Quadcore SoC that works at 1.3 GHz and that is accompanied by a Mali-400MP2 GPU . Its RAM memory is quite less, specifically 1 GB. They also share the same operating system in practically the same version: Android 4.3 Jelly Bean for Note 3 and Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean in the case of Lenovo.

Batteries: The Note 3 has a capacity of 3, 200 mAh, turning out to be much higher than that of the Lenovo, which has 2250 mAh. Therefore, we can affirm that the autonomy of the Samsung model will be superior.

Connectivity: 4G / LTE technology is only present in the Note 3, while the Lenovo manages with other more basic connections such as WiFi, 3G and Bluetooth.
