With the announcement of the new phablet, fans are now wondering which one between Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs. Galaxy Note 3 should they get?

The new Note 4 is said to carry noteworthy improvements and features. However, tech aficionados are wondering if they are worth the price.

So which one is a better buy? Here is a guide to help users choose between Samsung Galaxy Note 4 vs. Galaxy Note 3:

Display

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 comes with a 5.7 inch display with a 1080p screen. It is big enough to actually perform multi-tasking features, and is a handy device for editing documents.

The Galaxy Note 4 on the other hand, boasts of the same 5.7 inch display but it now has a 2560x1440 pixel quad HD resolution. Not only is it brighter and more vibrant than any other smartphones out in the market, but it can also display more content simultaneously.

Security

According to Business News Daily:

"When it launched, the Note 3 didn't have much in the way of extra security features, outside of the standard Android lock screens. But now the phone supports Knox, a security suite that launched in the spring for Samsung devices. Knox include Knox Workspace, which lets you run apps in a secure profile to ensure your data can't be accessed by rogue applications."

On the other hand, "The Note 4 improves upon the Note 3's security credentials with one big new feature: a fingerprint scanner embedded in the home button. Just swipe your fingertip over the button to easily unlock your device. In other words, the scanner helps you keep your work phone on lockdown without the need to fuss with cumbersome password screens. And Samsung's fingerprint scanner also lets you access Private Mode, a hidden folder where you can store your most sensitive work files and documents."

Design

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is said to carry vital improvements in design. Not only does it now come in an aluminium frame as compared to Note 3's faux-metal, but it also loses the fake stitching at the back for a more put-together look.

The Note 4 however is slightly heavier than the Note 3 because of the aluminium frame. It also still comes in the same Note 3 soft-touch plastic back.

In terms of thickness, the Note 4 still remains at 0.33 inches thick, just like the Note 3.

Multitasking features

"The Note 4 takes the multitasking features of the Note 3 and improves upon them. In addition to Multi Window mode, which works like it does on the Note 3, the newer Note includes better support for floating apps. Just swipe in from the top left corner at any time to open an app in a small floating window on top of your main app," says Business News Daily.
