New Delhi: Samsung's recently launched Galaxy Note 3 is probably the best in Galaxy series that money can buy. It has a faster processor, more RAM, a bigger screen with a higher resolution, a bigger batter, and a higher megapixel count on its camera. The Note 3 has received serious specs upgradation as compared to the Galaxy Note 2. The width and height of the Galaxy Note 3 come really close to those of the year-old Note II (151.2 x 79.2 x 8.3 mm for the former vs 151 x 80.5 x 9.4 mm for the latter), with the new model being only slightly taller and slightly thinner. At 168 grams, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is 14 grams lighter than the Note II. Size-wise, both the Samsung Galaxy Note II and Note 3 can easily fit in larger pockets, but due to their size they seem to be difficult to carry around. Both the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Samsung Galaxy Note II come with removable back covers, underneath which reside the slots for their SIM and microSD cards. Their batteries are also found there and are user-replaceable.Let us do a quick specs comparison to find what has changed in the latest version of Galaxy Note 3.
