Here is a post dedicated to the Samsung smartphones. We would be comparing Samsung Galaxy S 3, which has already proved its superiority in the market of smartphones with the two latest Samsung smartphones, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and Samsung ATIV S.
Galaxy S 3 and Galaxy Note 2 run on Android, whereas ATIV S runs on Windows Phone 8. Apparently, Samsung ATIV S is the world’s first Windows 8 smartphone. And Galaxy Note 2 is undoubtedly the most powerful smartphone of the current times with its 2GB RAM and 1.6 GHz Cortex-A9 processor.
After Apple’s win over Samsung in the recent patent related case, critics have hinted Samsung’s downfall. But during IFA 2012 at Berlin, we have witnessed some of the most innovative gadgets ever. So yes, Samsung is back into the business with a heavy strike.
Considering the history of Galaxy Note, we can surely expect good results from Note 2. Although, I am not sure about ATIV S because of its unproven Windows Phone 8, but you cannot overrule it. So, its all about time, but it is surely an interesting comparison.
