the two devices which was announced last week would be out any time soon. Both has a screen size of 5.7" which cleary states that the two are phablets. But when both are out on sale, which would you go for?
the two devices which was announced last week would be out any time soon. Both has a screen size of 5.7" which cleary states that the two are phablets. But when both are out on sale, which would you go for? the two devices which was announced last week would be out any time soon. Both has a screen size of 5.7" which cleary states that the two are phablets. But when both are out on sale, which would you go for?



lets start off with the display
like i said both has a 5.7" screen, the tecno has a CTP screen with 720 x 1280 resolution compared to samsung's super AMOLED screen with 1080 x 1920 resolution.
So if u like good display then the samsung is ur choice.




When it comes to network, tecno offers 2G and 3G while samsung offers 2G, 3G and 4G LTE.
having 4G might not really make a diffrence due to the fact than non of our regular networks offer 4G. So they are equal here.




Now to the body size. Tecno a2 is 160 X 82 and 8.9mm thick while samsung note 3 is 151.2 x 79.2 and 8.3 mm thick. Therefore the note 3 is smaller than the phatom a2.





And as 4 memory, the note 3 comes with 3gb ram, 32/64gb internal and sd card of up to 64gb. On the orther hand the a2 comes with 1gb ram, 4gb internal and sd card of up to 32gb. So if u store a lot of tinz ranging 4rm movies to apps, Note 3 is yours.





And as for the camera, both comes with 13mp camera. Now note 3 has a 2mp front camera while tecno went ahead to place 8mp camera in front. Well u might thing the tecno won here but, camera has features that ehance the way picture re taking. The a2 has just geo tagging. While the note 3 has Dual Shot, Simultaneous HD
video and image recording, geo-
tagging, touch focus, face and
smile detection, image
stabilization, panorama, HDR. So even though they have the same 13mp camera, picture are taking better on the note 3. So if u love instagram, the note 3 might be a beta option.





Battrey! Note 3 comes with 3200mAh while phantom A2 comes with 2630mAh. So if ure a fan of phcn. Note 3 got ur back.





Note 3 rocks the latest andriod 4.3 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800
Chipset. Cpu is
Quad-core 2.3 GHz Krait 400
(LTE model)/ Quad-core 1.9 GHz
Cortex-A15 & quad-core 1.3 GHz
Cortex-A7 (3G model)
And GPU is
Adreno 330. While the a2 is packed with android 4.2,
Quad-
core 1.2 GHz
MT6589
And GPU, Embedded.
So if ure looking 4 better pefomance, the note 3 is the answer.





Sensors:
Accelerometer, gyro, proximity,
compass, barometer,
temperature, humidity, gesture for the note 3 and
G-sensor,
Light sensor,

The a2 is capable of playing media formats in MP3, MIDI, AMR,

When it comes to prize, the official prize is not yet out for the two. But when they come out i expect the tecno phantom a2 to be very much cheaper than the galaxy note 3.


I hope u all had been able to make ur choice at this point. Well as for me, my choice is the samsung galaxy note 3!!! Whats yours?

You get time shaaa

You have gotta rename your thread Bro coz this is not a phablet war, this is a phablet massacre.... And we all know who's getting killed..... SMH.... How will you settle down and compare the Samsung galaxy note3..with the tecno a2....I suggest you go back in time to the release of the original note then make this comparison (oh right you can't do that)....

note 3 is far better tho.....tecno are yet to produce its competitor,tho but make we no start carry dis 1 start quarell because no be our papa work oh,no go kill urself dey defend tecno(which is beaten here) or samsung cos dem no dey pay us chichi cos na wetin dey happen here always

Waiting for the marketers to come in

this isnt phablets war... but rather phablet finishing...


this comparing should be tecno a2 and samsung s2, not even s3 ooo

Knew sum1 was just going to do this, seriously whats wiv d inferiority complex wiv tecno users. *shakes head disgusted*

The work of EXPIRED WEED....op so you just open your eyes start this thread abi.....the match na walk-over for Note-3....A2 no even come the venue....rubbish!!!

Comparing note 3 with A2?
Am a tecno user n lover but i know this is not fair.
Its like comparing Chelseafc with Sheffield wednesday!

@OP: sware say no be NOTE 3 u go pick?


SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 3 is d BEAST!!!! Any other phablet dey jonz

Op must be seriously high on weed,i mean he is insane,hw can someone wit his right senses be comparing tecno a2 to an almighty Note 3 not even galaxy s2,i cant believe this.
Anyway i dont blame them i blame google that made android a public platform,dats why they are all misbehaving.
Arrant none sense

Obviously, between the two, Note 3 is the better option. But, because of A2's cheaper prize an average person on a budget would naturally go for it rather than the much costlier Samsung.

At the end of the day, it would be a good deal cuz it roughly gives you almost the same output a Samsung Note 3 could have given you, if you had gone for it.

Bottom line; I prefer Tecno Phantom A2, simply because it's more customer friendly, and that's why it will sell more than its Samsung counter part when both reach the Nigerian Market.

some people self...op u not see d big diff in specs wetin be tecno? u suppose dey compare note 3 with d new sony xperiaz1

This is - FATALITY, BRUTALITY AND BABALITY.... DAMN.... Y SHOULD THEY BE COMPARED??

SamConquer: ''Phablet Wars"??nooo Somebody Gat to be Kidding here....Phablet war between who and who?Guys tell Me what have Samsung done to You Guys to deserve all this Unwarranted,Dubious and Callous Insult.?Kaiiii

I just tire for dem o some people too mumu

*SMH*


On this section, you will see so many, who are still yet to get the S4 brag about getting the note 3 when it lands, big pity to you cause no body cares, all we request from you is; Never Insult The Name TECNO Any Where/Time You See It.


THANKS!

i knew it was gonna be a big topic I know what i did. Please dont insult me Just make ur choice(cos sum pple still go choose tecno) and keep the comments coming

What is really wrong with u ppl What sort of comparison is this! Pls stop wasting thread on nonsense,whats dis issue with dis nonsene comparison,why always tecno vs sammy,better find something else to do

Jesus........na so madness take dey start. I once said that most of these tecnocrats their parents made a mistake by sending them to school cos it brings out the stupid in them.
Get a job.

..and I wonder why the so called MODs haven't deleted this useless thread..... I knew it was only a matter of time before a thread like this surfaced....retards full this site sha....well ultimately I blame ASUU.... I'm out

MODS, criusly some threads on nairaland are just........ Damn

febbymi: MODS, criusly some threads on nairaland are just........ Damn

Hahahaaa......
O ye of lil thought!!!
So what are u insinuating ova here? Tecno F8 will beat Note 3 in terms of price?
Compare the 5 major countries Tecno operates in Africa to Other countries Sammy will be selling like HOT CAKES.(Who's on the loosing side?)
I dnt mind saving 4 a whole year 2 get this device cos after a year, i'll possess one of the best Device dat can serve me for the 3-4 or even 5 years. (The patience dog eats the fattest biscuit )
PRICE, DURABILITY, INNOVATION, GLOBAL RECOGNITION ETC............... NOTE 3 WINS IT ALL!!!

Any Day Any Time, Tecno Wins in D Day.2.Day Usage Department.

Am not gonna buy feature the average Jack will not use in a lifetime.

#Tecno...Be Different.
