Note 3 vs iPhone 5s

I'm looking for legit comparisons of the Note 3 and the iPhone 5s. I've seen some that appeared to be biased one way or the other. Have any of you seen articles or videos that show legit comparisons? Benchmark comparisons, software comparisons, etc.

Thanks guys!

You asked for comparison- I couldn't resist. :D

Seriously though, I haven't seen any yet but I'm sure the comparisons will be coming very soon.

hahaha yeah. I've already ordered my Note 3 and I'm sold on it. No question. I'm just curious how they line up. Apples sales attempt at WWDC was horrible in my opinion. Everything they tried to push as "innovative" is on the Note 3 and even on the S4.

But I've seen some benchmarks that showed the new iPhone was better and some that showed that it was close. I just don't see how that's possible. CPU and RAM KILL the iPhone 5s.

After owning every iPhone including the 5S, then buying a Galaxy S4 & Note 3, my personal opinion is that nothing comes close to Android 4.2 or 4.3 on a Samsung S4 or N3. These are the two finest most fun and functional smartphones I've had.

Just choose the size you want and buy one. You'll be very pleased.


Notice I didn't bash the iPhone, it's just not the phone for me. Too basic, small and limited in its usefulness.

Well, what Apple claims as innovative has been on Android WAY before the Note 3 and S4.
But I have to give credit where credit is due.
I'm sitting here playing with a 5S right now. And while many people think cpu/ram make the phone, I can honestly say there are times the iPhone runs circles around my Note- especially in game play.
Often my phone would hiccup, stutter and lag while not so on the iPhone playing the same game.

There's always a leapfrog affect in tech where one brand leads another and vice versa. I live and focus on the present, therefore what was great last year is irrelevant now. Personal preferences are a big factor.

For example I don't like games on a smartphone so I don't need that feature. I do get my news as well as other info on the web and therefore a large display is my number one requirement. Also I do lots of communicating via messenger, email and such. That makes room to work via a large display along with SWYPE, priceless for me.

So we come back to personal preference as most important as I see it :)
 
I have both the Note 3 and iPhone 5. It comes down to personal preference. I like the Note for the S-pen, it's ability to use said pen as a powerful tool and also for fun stuff, screen size, split window multitasking. I love my iPhone 5 for its seamless ease of use, TV, movies and music selection is unbeatable. You can't go wrong with either.
 
My mom was dead set on the 5s due to the education apps and the fingerprint scanner before she could play with my Note. Now think more torn than swayed over to the Note, and I would say she is a very informed but non-technical consumer. She has had a Lenovo laptop with wacom pen so the pen with the note is a plus and for her Swype is huge over her ipad keyboard.
