Samsung Galaxy Note 3 vs Nokia Lumia Bandit: Specs & camera features - Northern Voices Online

The phablet war is becoming very tough in the market. Samsung Galaxy Note 3 vs Nokia Lumia Bandit specs & camera features makes interesting reading Nokia is apparently to join the phablet flurry sometime this fall. To take on the competitors like Samsung Galaxy Note series, the Finnish mobile firm is all set with its Windows Phone 8 OS. The company wishes to raise severe threat to the dominance of all popular Android phablet devices out in market with its Windows Phone 8-based phablet or phablets this fall, reports Reuters referring to some unknown sources. A phablet means a handset that sports a 5-inch or bigger display. Reuters further writes that the Finnish mobile firm is all set to announce one or more phablets at an event to be held in New York late September. We have no access to the rumored specs or other features of the devices except that a Lumia 825 is rumored to come with a 5-inch or big display. "The sources would not elaborate on details such as specifications and price but said the new models will include a phablet, a common name for smartphones with screens over 5 inches," writes Reuters. By the way, the site refers to the fact that technology blogs have started to talk about the phablets to be expected from the leading Windows Phone maker. However, Nokia officials haven't also commented positively to the rumor. But, chance is high that we could expect some phablet from Nokia sooner especially in a time the upcoming Windows Phone 8 GDR3 update is said to most likely support FullHD and big screens with proper customization for the phablet-like larger gadgets. Nokia Phablet Vs Samsung Phablet Samsung is the first gadget maker ever that introduced a phablet through its 5.2-inch Galaxy Note two years back. In the following year, Samsung upgraded the device with a second edition called the Galaxy Note 2 to give a new vigor for the phablet market, which has recently received a lot of new models including the ones from LG, Sony, Huawei and more. Indeed, the move from Nokia to imagine a phablet might have come from the need to take on Samsung and Apple, which outdo the Finnish mobile firm in smartphone sales across the world. For a while, Nokia has been designing more competitive models of handsets that are able to fight with the alternatives from Samsung, Apple and other leading tech firms. Lately, you might have witnessed to the rollout of Lumia 1020, a camera-centric phone with a massive 41MP PureView rear camera to compete with the likes of Samsung's Galaxy S4 Zoom and other alternatives. "Market leader Samsung has led the way in phablets, proving wrong early critics who said they were too clunky," says Reuters. For sure, during its early days, the Galaxy Note original was blamed for its bulkier form factor, but now it is the trend. Samsung's latest upgrade to the Note series, the Note III is not rumored for official rollout in a September 4 event in Berlin, Germany. That means things won't be a pushover for Nokia with its rumored Lumia phablet. Nokia Phablet and GDR3 Update As per reports, Nokia will be waiting for the GDR3 update to roll out its much-touted phablet. The Windows Phone GDR3 update is expected to bring in support for larger screens along with FullHD display. It is also to enhance the Windows Phone 8 with many more improvements including a revamped look for its Live Tiles-based home screen. As per reports, the GDR3-updated WP 8 will let you customize the Live Tiles in a way you can place three medium sized-tiles in a single row. Of now, only two tiles can be placed in a row, meaning that the new feature is something essential for a phablet, which is rather bigger. Shortlink: Posted by admin on August 24, 2013.
