Have you got your hands on Samsung’s recent beast, the Galaxy Note 3? Well, no doubts, the best Android device available at the moment to use surely is Galaxy Note 3 whether it’s Exynos powered or Snapdragon powered. The 5.7 inches screen on the phablet is full HD with 386 ppi. Under the hood, Samsung used Exynos 5 or Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 CPU to power up the device alongside Adreno 33o GPU and 3 GB RAM. At the back a 13 MP camera sensor is fixed and a 2 MP camera sensor is there on the front while there is a massive 3200 mAh battery inside to give life to the device.
