Samsung N7502 Galaxy Note 3 Neo Duos- smartphone, the successor to the well-known Samsung Galaxy Note II. The hardware component of news does not look very intriguing, since the role of the processor chip acts as an entry-level Qualcomm Snapdragon 400. However, it is made specifically to not compete with the flagship Samsung N9000 Galaxy Note 3. In turn, the software component of the unit is absolutely the same as the flagship, while this model has a slot for a second SIM-card, which for many users is a critical functionality.

Design and ergonomics

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo Duos (N7502) – in a sense, a new word for this family. The fact that the devices with the prefix Galaxy Note has always been the flagship, but this time, Samsung has decided to release a slightly modified version of the Samsung N7100 Galaxy Note II.

fablet Externally very similar to its flagship Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but on the characteristics of the hero of the review can not compete with it on equal terms, but with the Galaxy Note II – easily. In other words smartphone gently pushed “old man.” If we talk about the size, it is relatively Galaxy Note II smartphone decreased slightly in all respects, but especially – in terms of weight.

For more information dimensions last line devices Galaxy Note can be explored in the table:

As mentioned above, the smartphone looks very similar to the older model line and, more specifically, that distinguish the front of the two devices is very difficult. All done in the same style, which is very good for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo Duos, since it is a cheaper version of the device.

The front side is covered by a protective glass of the smartphone, which is at the top of the lattice dynamics of the voice, company logo, light sensors and proximity, the front camera is 2 megapixels and LED system events. Below is a 5.5-inch SuperAMOLED display, and hid underneath the traditional controls smartphone Samsung, which serve as two hardware softkeys Menu and Back , as well as the mechanical key Home . The latter, in turn, on the part of a millimeter above the surface of the panel, which significantly facilitates the operation of the device. Because of the silvery frame seem that it is made of metal, but in fact it is only a plastic button.

The sides of the housing Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo Duos are also made of plastic, very much resembling metal. On the right side is the power button on the left – volume button. Standard 3.5 mm audio jack and an optional microphone are at the top, and the main microphone jack micro-USB, multimedia speaker and battery S Pen – below.

Back cover device made of plastic, the texture resembles the skin, along the contour of which is made psevdoprostrochka. At the top of the cover lens is located 8 megapixel camera, which is slightly above the surface, LED flash, a little lower – embossed logo of the manufacturer, and at the bottom – logo DUOS. Last is a reminder that we face dvuhsimochny machine. For easy removal of the lid has a projection which is on the right hand, pulling it, you can easily remove the cover. By the way, it is quite thin and flexible and has a plurality of latches for a more secure fit.

After removing the cover Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo Duos, we find two slots for SIM-cards. The SIM-card №2 done so to change the cards do not have to remove the battery, but the phone still asks himself restart. The second slot for SIM-card is aligned with a slot for memory cards format microSD, but to change the SIM-card №1 need to remove the battery. It is important to remember that both SIM-card must be the format of micro-SIM. Battery capacity is 3100 mAh.

When it comes to build quality, we can confidently say that it is very good. There are no scratches, and thanks to a pleasant material back cover smart phone does not slip out of hand. Clicking on the mechanical keys felt great. But to the location of the volume keys to get used, because it is unusually high. As a result, to increase the volume, to have to stretch your fingers, which is not very convenient, especially during a call.

Due to the relatively small size smart phone can be operated with one hand. Of course, it needs to have a sufficiently large palm, which will use the device with one hand with no interceptions.



The operating system and shell

Powered Galaxy Note 3 Neo Duos running an operating system Android 4.3, at the same time acts as a shell proprietary interface TouchWiz. In general appearance it does not differ from that in the Note 3. About the software can read the review of Note 3 http://itc.ua/articles/obzor-samsung-galaxy-note-3-sovremennyiy-bloknot/

However, not hurt to add that it was thanks to the software the device feels a whole. For example, for easy one-handed operation is the same name the settings menu where you can change the scale and position of the screen. For example, if the regular calculator for you is too big and uncomfortable, it’s easy to fix it with the help of this menu. Also significant that even a standard keyboard and dialer can not display the full width of the screen, and offset to one side for easier operation.

Also, do not forget that, despite the warm summer winters we are very cold and it was then useful to the opportunity, as the management of your smartphone with gloves. Of course, this is not a unique technology and already many devices can offer the same, but let’s not forget about the main advantages of the family Note – multifunction pen S Pen. It is thanks to him ruler devices Note stands out from the others.



Hardware Platform

To begin with it is worth recalling that there are three versions of the model: N750 – 1 SIM-card Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset 400 (MSM8228), without LTE; N7505 – 1 SIM-card chipset Samsung Exynos 5 Hexa 5260, with LTE; and finally the hero review N7502 with two SIM-cards and chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 (MSM8228), without LTE. On the Ukrainian market will be officially sold only version N7502, which we received on the test.

The system-on-chip Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 (MSM8228) – is a familiar quad-core model, each of the ARM Cortex-A7 cores which can operate at a maximum operating frequency of 1.6 GHz. In the role of advocates integrated graphics accelerator Adreno 305. RAM is 2GB, of which, after closing all background applications, free is around 800 MB. The volume of the built-in storage – 16 GB of them after turning available – 11 GB, although this amount can be increased significantly due to a memory card microSD. For some reason 3DMark hang during the start of the test, and GFXBench could not run all the tests due to lack of memory. What caused the malfunction data benchmarks are not entirely clear, since the rest of the tests were given quite good results.

One of the most important parameters that immediately catches the eye of smartphone owners – smooth interface can be estimated as “excellent.” Heavy 3D games run fast and work with little or no slowdown. It is important to note that by default, the popular racing game Real Racing 3 shakes cache without displaying in the mirror, but the game runs very smoothly. Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour works just as well, “sagging” fps is not even in active scenes. Therefore, we can conclude that fablet perfect for gaming, but it should be ready that reserve capacity in some cases it may still not be enough, and do not have to play on the highest setting. Another advantage is the small heating of the case, even after a long gaming session.

To work wireless networks have no complaints. Wi-Fi module operates at the highest possible speeds, confident communicating with the network. Navigation is also pleased with the satellites even at cold start in offline mode are very fast. Accordingly, in the presence of the mobile Internet search for satellites takes a few seconds.

Volume voice dynamics is good, but if the volume is close to the maximum, then the vibration will be felt on the back of the device. This fact is not very happy. Recording a conversation standard means not available. Work with two SIM-cards is no different from other devices manufacturer.

When playing video files there are the same problems that are inherent in the vast majority of smartphones – namely, the inability to open the standard tools of the audio codec AC3. Therefore, for greater certainty should install a third-party player.

In view of the fairly large battery capacity 3100 mA * h, the battery life can not be called small, but long-lived call Smartphone not dare. When the load is above average, he works in general 1.5 to 2 days.

Display

Samsung N7502 Galaxy Note 3 Neo Duos features a 5.5 inch Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 720p. Display similar characteristics was in Note II. As in the previous smartphone PenTile grid, if desired, may be considered, but you need to specifically look closely.

The behavior of the display in the sun is just great. If for some devices is a good thing that the screen is at least something you can see, the hero test report to see the information will not be difficult, since it does not fades even in direct sunlight.

Instrumental measurements showed that the luminance level is in the range of 316 cd / m 2 in a program for measuring and 284 cd / m 2 in a browser, the minimum luminance is only 3.5 cd / m 2, an average value of 105 cd / m 2. Adjust the brightness sensor is working correctly. Based on the results it is clear that even if not the largest screen brightness in the sun, it behaves well, and minimum brightness will delight those who love to read something before going to sleep.

Verify factory calibration shows the following: the color gamut is much wider screen sRGB, which is common for devices with screen Super AMOLED, the gamma curve for the most part of the gradient is kept in the normal range and only in light tones it is below, further lightens the image. The color temperature of the screen is higher than necessary. This leads to the fact that the display everything looks a little colder than it actually is.



Camera

As befits a modern device Samsung N7502 Galaxy Note 3 Neo Duos is equipped with two cameras : 2 megapixel front and the main 8 megapixel.

The camera interface is the same as the interface Galaxy Note 3.

the main camera features rich. She is able to take a photo in the resolution of 8 megapixels with an aspect ratio of 4: 3, and 6 megapixel resolution with an aspect ratio of 16: 9. There are a large number of extra modes, which include functions such as automatic, touch-up, best photos, continuous shooting, the best face photo with sound, vivid colors, panorama, sports and night. In most cases, when there is sufficient light autofocus works quickly and accurately, the problem may be a scene at dusk and at night. With a speed photography is also doing well. However, while taking pictures in HDR-mode notice some thoughtfulness, but it is inherent in most devices. The main camera is also able to record video in Full HD resolution at 30 frames per second.

The front camera has a more modest possibilities, but their is more than enough even for demanding amateurs.

In Overall, both cameras can gladden quality photos in the daytime. In good light the noise is minimal, and everything is fine with the white balance.
