Samsung Galaxy Note 3 vs LG Optimus G Pro : Heavyweight Battle

The LG optimus G Pro has been with us for quite a long time now and has gained is successful reign on the Phablet market taking the crown form the Galaxy Note II and finally kneeling down in front of the Sony Xperia Z Ultra. The LG optimus G pro though being very powerful device still had came earlier when the Snapdragon 600 was the king of all, but as we have seen the latest devices like the Xperia Z Ultra are boasting a Snapdragon 800 the power factor sure does matter and is obvious when observed in day to day performance keeping the benchmarks aside too. The recently launched Galaxy Note 3 from Samsung is not only a powerhouse with a Snapdragon 800 but Samsung manages to take it to a new level with the 3Gigs of RAM, not to mention the advance functions that the Note Series offers with their S-pen on board.  To understand the sheer power we must have a look at the specifications each of our contenders offer.

As we saw that the LG Optimus G pro is an inferior device in every field taken consideration for, this was no surprise though we had expected the age to show afterall. The LG Otimus G pro not only failed to match the extreme qualifications of the Galaxy Note 3 but also where is came closer to it (13Mp camera) the Note 3 had something more to offer (4k Video Recording and 1080p @ 60 fps). The Galaxy Note 3 is only more expensive than the Optimus G Pro that being compromised by the up-gradations it offers and the time factor. All above this we didn’t even consider the Smart Features that the Note 2 offers over the LG Optimus G Pro (They do matter a lot for average Note line Customers)
