Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Vs Sony Xperia Z3 Full In-Depth Comparison

[@awaisbaba]

Z3 has a classy design much easy to handle the GUI is superb (very friendly) with so many awesome features. I had S5 and its shit all the wow features were useless after playing for a week, I gave it to my nephew he likes playing with heartbeat rate app and the finger print. I want a smartphone with premium quality & useful features not a plastic "SPY" phone...

[@ehzardo]

Well said :)

[@darkheat246]

Do you even logic and English bro?

[@awaisbaba]

darkheat246 What do you think Shakespeare's left butt cheek

[@hustleflow3677]

Awais Baba Lollllzz

[@darkheat246]

Awais Baba I rather be an ass then lie to people.

[@fredrik.larsen]

In what picture mode was the Z3 in this test? Automatic mode is 8MP and Manual gives you the option of 20MP 4:3

[@sarikakasliwal9391]

well i liked z3 coz its good for daily use and has kind of simple features unlike note 4 , it has many features which may cause trouble at times

[@shayeh6791]

I really wanted the Xperia Z3 when it came out and my father had to have one as well, but I'm obsessing about the Note 4! Always been a Sony girl, but maybe it isn't bad to change it up a little... :) Your video has helped me out and I guess I'll have to make a decision soon. Thanks heaps.

[@ahmedunfairuz3083]

Can u give ur opinion on which has a better camera??

[@royajunique]

thumbs up for that detailed review of z3,how r the blacks in the night on z3 and also hows the picture quality overall compared to note ,.and the viewing angles compared to m8 if u hav 1.

[@zevin83]

@12:40 he mentions the z3 has a glove mode, it's on the Note 4 too, just not called that, it's increased sensitivity in the settings.

[@Soyeonnie1916]

I wanna get the Z3 but im afraid that i'll have buyers remorse when the z4 comes out. Also,does it come with the noise cancelling headphones?some reviews are conflicting

[@arcvil32]

what camera are you using when recording this video? The image is so clear. :-)

[@mobiletechkid]

Can you please stop making comparisons before you do the full review. The review is way better then comparisons

[@StarWarsNerdy02]

I'm currently waiting for my Note 4 to arrive and I'm so excited. I've heard nothing but good reviews of the phone and I think Samsung has finally made some much needed improvements.

[@mafia14cs]

I'm currently using z2 and is curious whether the note 4's battery can be on par with z2 or z3?? I'm a heavy user..I kept my 4G data on 24/7 with some some entertainment and shots and I do check on my phone every couple minutes..

[@ThePugShinobi]

Awesome review, made it even harder to choose between the two haha I currently have an iPhone 6+ and loath it. I'll probably wait for the note 5 and z5 to decide, still a tough decision!

[@TharinduSamarakoonYo]

Samsung premium feel? What are you on?

[@floutekcz]

I like the Bluetooth unlock possibility on my Z3. Really saves time. Using it with Sony SmartBand SRW10. Also Double tap to wake is nice feature. Don't know why these two features are not mentioned. One more thing : You can now close all applications from multitasking menu. On Z1 I had to use Gravity Box for that feature.

[@ziyansanmgr2509]

nice review man! i really liked it ...ur review has covered every important aspect of smartphone... keep it up dude..!

I've had Samsung Galaxy (the Note 3 right now) since I bought my first android and now it's time to try the Sony Xperia Z3. This comparison really helped me decide ... So I'll go ahead with the Z3.

[@akhil5991]

Great choice... Beside if someone on you tube still fancy about Samsung or Iphone Camera over z3... You ought to know it's SONY Sensors you praising off.. :)

[@playstation1331]

0:00 what did he said ?

[@akrem9372]

hey guys thi thoobenjboathh

[@daniduong9965]

I am thinking about switching my note 4 to z3. I confuse that is the camera and the display of z3 better than note 4? I see note 4 display is not good as i expected, its yellowish and the bright is not good for outdoor using. Note4's camera is good when there is in a good condition (enough light) but in a little bit low light, the color was blur out. Especially selfie pics are disappointed me, it brings smoother skin but not in the good way( blur out and pale). Shoukd i change?

[@Tawfek18]

note 4 is the best ^_^

[@itayrozenstein6989]

Wow you nailed it with this review. Good job awesome phones I'm really considering and debating which phone to choose the Galaxy Note 4 or the Sony Xperia Z3, I like the Z3 because it has stereo speaker and really good camera but something about the Galaxy Note 4 still catching my eye, I just don't like Samsung UI it's just looks too heavy. coming from a nexus 5 to Samsung user interface scares me a lot because I don't want to spend so much money on a device that I wouldn't like.

[@wyattpommier8367]

Megapixels don't mean everything as seen in this video. The note 4 camera outperformed the z3 in picture quality and especially in video as well.

[@galeriesofpain]

Wyatt Pommier The Note 4 is better for videos and indoor pics, but the outdoor pics from the Sony are just like another dimension. Kind of sad that Sony did such a well job with the outdoor pictures and messed up the video mode with that weird focus.

[@random4969]

try telling that to someone with a 2 megapixal camera lol

[@HermesAurelius]

I can't wait to get my z3

[@droll68]

I have it! You will love it!

[@pramshu1]

Paul S Does it lag? I'm interested to get one.

[@droll68]

Pramshu Peri No. Still very pleased!

[@PaulBlxck]

Paul S Twin !! xD . I hope so , I'm really looking forward to getting one !

[@satputeketan]

Is that sony z3 eligible for fast charging? Thanks

[@mrjamesx]

Thanks, really useful video, currently torn in a decision between the two, if it wasn't for the IP68 I would have gone for the note but waterproofing is just something that is so useful for me :( Who out there has which phone or both and what are your thoughts?

[@lyndongomez8374]

Z3 for me is a better phone

[@MrSEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]

Samsung is always strong with its features, but Sony is always good with built quality and the look. I go with Sony for sure and don't really care about the features of Samsung device.

[@jackskellington6sic6]

That's great only if "YOUR" "personal preference" of build material/design was the exact same thing as "build quality" but it's not. Everyone confuses the two. And while both are great the Note 4 takes the factual overall win in features, productivity, hardware, and quality. Not just features. Glass and metal are no less cheap recyclable materials with their own weaknesses.

[@MrSEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]

Huh. Samsung device never last longer than 6 months. M really sure about this cuz i owned a GS3 and it was a very poor device i've ever seen.

[@jackskellington6sic6]

sereyoudom raing meanwhile I have one that my sister now uses and it still runs great on stock TouchWiz and is still in good condition. Imagine that

[@MrSEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]

Jack Skellington no need to imagine. I never want to hear anything about Samsung cuz my Z3 is working perfectly now. Sony!!!

[@jackskellington6sic6]

Completely different generation and area of devices. And the Z3 is an amazing device. Samsung is still ahead

[@ricianocirino1637]

Z3 IS A WONDERFUL PHONE MAN,I HAVE A XPERIA Z,IM SAVING FOR A XPERIA Z3

[@miladismailzada609]

I had both phones.... But guess what ill take Z3 any day.. just so much faster better design better battery better camera and also waterproof..

[@rfx2901]

Even though in tests the Note 4 outperformed it in everyone of those categories (except for design).

[@galeriesofpain]

Porozora Yeah but the Note 4 got touchwiz, its like the cancer of phones. Also in terms of the camera the z3 has a better performance outdoors while the note 4 has a better performance indoors (talking about photos sony kinda fucked up the video mode)

[@rfx2901]

galeriesofpain I understand your point on the camera. But the real OS that is cancer of phones is now the LGUI.

[@galeriesofpain]

Really? An OS worse than touchwiz sounds pretty fucked up... I just got a Z3 and before that I had a S4. Touchwiz destroyed the performance completely, so I installed Cyanogenmod and it was extremely fast. I was pretty angry that I had to give up the warranty to have a good performance on a expensive phone...

[@rajeevgosain9]

presentation nicely done ...100 out of 100...; good going

[@Rpeices]

I would have mentioned that camera in the note4 is made by sony, I was deciding which phone to get when my htc one m7 died unexpectedly and I went with the note 4 and I am very happy I did, it is an incredible phone

[@pinakinrami635]

i am a heavy gamer. then which is the best one among them???

[@Luna12Z]

I am interested in phones with the extra back up battery feature. So that note 4 is appealing. It's a shame that the s6 line does not have that feature. I was considering the z3 and oneplus but I'm worried about customer support and battery life. Do you recommend any new flagship phones with the extra battery feature for this year?

[@mohamedelhatmi5943]

***** LG G4

[@bequanma]

+mohamed elhatmi lg g4 has the worst battery life

[@mohamedelhatmi5943]

3000 mAh removable battery is bad ?

[@bequanma]

+mohamed elhatmi i'm talking about its battery life not that it has open back design so you can replace the battery

[@mohamedelhatmi5943]

dude do you even know what is this discussion about ?

[@maydangerous]

While I like the Z3 I dislike the fact that it doesn't have the 805 chip... There's hardly any improvements over the Z2, which is very good already. I like the Note 4 for the stylus but don't know how its in real use and would I use it that much.

[@ramoncaceres4399]

i had the z3 an had to switch over to the note 4 ++ love Both phones++ BUT i kinda like the z3, got rid of the z3 because i was having problems like, Missed Text, missed calls, text wont send and its been a huge problem. does anyone know if they fixed this problem???

[@kiwan5425]

I see a vertical stripe defect on your Z3 display. My friend has Z2 and had the same experience and exchanged 2 times but still the same.

[@arjunkhanijau1119]

please compare z3 and nexus 6

[@TheMrPasul]

my Xperia Z1 Compact with AOKP Custom Rom have Single-Core Score: 908 and Multi-Core Score: 2604 and in Antutu Benchmark i have 40152

[@alexpapas99]

You are mad if you think z3 has better camera!

[@aamiralikhan7140]

Hey bro!! which one should I buy? z3 or note 4?

[@morrelfreya5168]

z3 its much better than the note4

[@forestnoise3947]

Depends on you.

[@taydinghan00]

How long does the Z3 take to charge from 0 to 100%?

[@elyashivmenczer4348]

Just over 2 and half hours. Maybe even 3.

[@taydinghan00]

Elyashiv Menczer tnx alot

[@philondemand9908]

35mins

[@LOUNGELIQ]

+Tay Dinghan 2 weeks

[@doomslayer5191]

Tay Dinghan 0 to 100 nigguh real quick.

[@BigTam]

Both seem to be great phones, both have their pros and cons. I think I'm gonna go for the note 4 as a removable battery is pretty important to me plus I've had a sony z1 before so I wanna try something different. Using an iPhone 5c at the minute and its complete dog shit plus it's small as fuck so this upgrade to the note 4 will be insane!

[@TheAngelmiguel4u]

I am a Sony lover I want to ask you a question I want to know if maybe you can make on what would it take to make a very good phone like for example I have seen some video about song phone that you can actually build yourself piece by piece I don't remember the name of it I know I found it on youtube and a half to do something with Google

[@hirmuli7022]

phoneblocks? its scheduled to be released in january next year

[@yojgee]

Basstard but Google's Project Ara is so different from Phoneblocks. In Phoneblocks, you can replace a hardware with a different one, whereas in Project Ara, you are only allowed to replace a hardware by the same type of hardware. I mean a big battery in Phoneblocks for example can be replaced with a smaller one and additional memory to occupy the entire space of the former bigger battery.

[@feyenoord901]

2:05 why is there an iphone box instead of the note 4 box.....?

[@nanakwameampong]

I am thinking of buying one of these phones and I dont really know which one i should go in for. I will be very much happy if u can give your expert advice on which 1 u think i should go in for.

[@yojgee]

I'm in the same boat as you. lol

[@Tronkh01]

What are the 5 most important things i a smartphone for you? Ask yourself this question and look, which phone fits best to u! My most important features in a Smartphone are: Display, speaker, battery life, design and camera... So the Z3 is the clear winner for me :) I hope I could help u with this comment

[@jackskellington6sic6]

Depends on what you are looking for. Technically speaking the Note 4 is the overall best phone out right now. The Note 4 has the worlds best phone display. It's better in sunlight. Has real blacks. Can be more saturated or accurate to your liking. Can be turned down dimmer in dark rooms. It's a little bigger. It's camera performs overall better. In detail, stabilizing, video, and microphone. It's build quality is very durable. It's has better battery life. Drastically faster charging. Removable battery. And the best power saving mode. The Spen. More features and options. Best multi tasking. More productivity. Louder speaker. Better Headphone output. More carrier availability currently. Samsung is much better with producing more updates and more timely. The Z3 has water resistance. A design many like. Is thinner and smaller. A comparable camera. Better speaker coming from upfront stereo speakers. A UI aesthetic that many like and is somewhat less bloated. A physical camera button. Built in fm radio. Built in support with sony and Playstation.

[@troy5568]

+Jack Skellington 1. The Z3's display can get brighter than the Note 4 even though it is Super AMOLED. Since Super AMOLEDs have issues like burn-in and degradation, Samsung decided to lock the max brightness of the phone to around 500 nits. The Z3 can go over 800 nits which is brighter than the Note 4. Color temperature can be adjusted when X Reality is turned on 2. Sony's SteadyShot is more than 100x better than the Note 4's OIS, and that is just a software-related stabilization, so it's more than amazing to imagine if Sony would put real OIS on the Z3. That would blow away the Note 4 away of the water

[@troy5568]

+Jack Skellington The Z3 is nearly unbendable while the Note 4 isn't. And it is IP68 water and dust resistant, which means it can be submerged into water without worrying about having your phone get wet

[@m.kassis8485]

I like both phones. Will the Z3 come to north america?

[@gabbate2011]

It's going to come to T-mobile in the us.

[@TSquared1902]

***** tmobile and verizon confirmed, not sure about att

[@FredMacAttack]

what's up with the note edge videos??

[@superduperman3775]

Note 4 is really a beast but i like the design of z3. So simple and much beauty.

[@gabtand]

I don't understand why some people they get frustrated when Samsung phones have loads of features? Who wants to use those features, why not, who doesn't want to use them, I don't care! But the main thing is: if they are many, the happiest I will be!

[@adalbertagheorghesei]

Options must exist, even if you will never use them. That is progress.

[@philondemand9908]

had both z3 all day

[@TopTenPointless]

for me the opposite

[@llemos05]

watching this video with my Xperia Z3! the better phone!

[@julianedilbert9190]

Samsung galaxy note 4 & sony xperia z3. Which mobile I have to buy ???

[@dubbelgamer064]

I would reccomend the note as i use it myself and i do not regret getting it

[@takuan4045]

+Dubbelgamer06 Hey a questions for the people who have the z3 and note 4,does note 4 lagg after 2 years or less? because i have a s3 and is slow af, nos to the person who own a z3, does z3 have an app like s memo? to make notes?

[@green_universe]

may be u should recoed z3 with 4k video it's better than 60fps at the view and zoom.

[@abdullahzahid362]

I boght s3 after one year the is very bad now i have s5 i am using it for 10 months there is a little lag that is the proplem of samsung i will go with sony xperia z3 it is the best phone in the world

[@javiersolis4411]

Why can't I use my Xperia z3's network while on the phone.???.. I used to do it on my N3. I don't like that feature cause I have to hang up the call in order to look at emails or send texts

[@PaladinCape]

wtf you're lying about the battery life HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHA

[@VandrefalkTV]

The only thing that really bothers me about the Z3 is the video. Image-wise it can be good, absolutely, but I've seen videos where it really struggles to focus and keep focus correctly- even worse is the audio. The audio quality on video recordings is just teeeerrible.. shame :\

[@mikldude9376]

Yes, when he had the two of them displaying video the z3 was a bit shaky, the note was smooth as silk, its not even a contest really, , note4 = best screen on the market, removable battery, s pen, the note has the ideal size , not over the top big , but a good size for viewing, for my money the only thing the z3 had going for it was the water proof feature, i dont recall the bloke showing the s pen ? the s pen on its own is a cool feature.

[@Tronkh01]

mikldude Lol... A Samsung fanboy xD Ur bad kid

[@mikldude9376]

Tommychoc i try and call it like it is mate, look at the vast majority of reviews and tell me im wrong.

[@mohammadabedin4475]

Unfortunately it is not waterproof at all! I dropped my phone in the sink with clean water and it took me at the most 30 seconds to get it out and dry it with a towel, by then the screen died! Not waterproof at all! Sigh

[@arthurm2985]

+Rafat Abedin It is

[@doomslayer5191]

Rafat Abedin Water resistance is not the same as waterproof :3

[@mohammadabedin4475]

When I purchased this phone, Sony was advertising it as "waterproof" with pics of people taking pics underwater. I did the same thing (took like 4 pics) and my screen malfunctioned.

[@johnboyega222]

Turned over the video instantly as soon as I heard this 0:00

[@farix1]

Note 4 Should be compared with Xperia Z4 which is due to release shortly

[@jackskellington6sic6]

He is kind of bias towards Sony

[@edwinlasanta]

This guy is totally trying to promote the samsung. Is quite obvious

[@darkangelss6sic6]

Meanwhile it's quite obvious he favors the z3. You must be pretty sad fanboy to think that in reverse

[@BlueHarpoon1]

Actually it is true this video a little bit biased but not that much because I think note 4 is more likely for more advanced users it is not for normal users like me.

[@darkangelss6sic6]

BlueHarpoon1 The Note has more advanced features that you can or cannot utilize to your own liking. Normal usage of either is about the same. And if you can use a smart phone decently some other functions are not hard to pick up.

[@edwinlasanta]

Note 4 is more for an old crowd, Xperia Z3 is more for a young, adventurous crowd, Even artist people type.

[@dawud345]

Jony Onix how does having a z3 make you more adventurous? Lol, the Samsung is the one with more choice and style, literally has a stylus lol,

[@Mr2pint]

All I see is envy and resentment for buying the wrong phone lo, - hail HTC!

[@ThePjacast]

What bout da price?

[@koviniseziukas7668]

Not sure how you but i rather choose z3 :p

[@roeshak10]

Sorry the z2 isn't the last generation when compared to the z3. Both devices are virtually identical.

[@doomslayer5191]

tony okoro They are both virtually identical. The Z3 got a redesign and CPU frequency is clocked only slightly higher. From 2.3ghz to the Z3s 2.5ghz

[@lostgleammedia]

The Note 4 can be used with gloves.. it s in the settings.

[@jackskellington6sic6]

I know. It's kind of common now. That and he left out that despite the Z3 having deeper sound in its speakers that the note 4 can get close to our around 10 dB louder and all sounds great for a single speaker. And I'm sorry but the display only just barely nudges a win? And he thinks the Z3 is the hands down best camera phone. When 1020 still does better. The 4 has a give and take in sharpness of photos with it. Plus ois. And far superior video. Plus much better recorded sound. I like them both but he is a bit bias

[@gandaruvu]

Jack Skellington For camera, DxOMark ranked Z3 with 79 points, which is higher than 1020 which only got 74 points. Granted, they haven't tried Note 4's camera yet, but you can check their website to see their in depth review for these cameras.

[@jackskellington6sic6]

Michael Panggabean Why is it nobody reads those articles and what the tests consist of before using it as a reference ever???? First of all. They test the overall Camara. The z3 does much better video. The 1020 and 8o8 are still the reining photography phone Champs. And it's quite common for them to declare winners and scores without testing all available devices. I still don't that they tasted the last two zooms. Or at least the k zoom yet either. And I also agree last I checked they had not tested the note 4 yet.

[@universaInformation]

Jack Skellington nothing comes close to nokia 1020 when we talking about sharp videos

[@gandaruvu]

Jack Skellington you said it yourself earlier, "best camera phone". Not best camera in just taking pictures, or best camera in just taking videos.

[@ricianocirino1637]

Z3 IS BETTER,NOTE IS TOO BIG,BUT THE Z3 IS LIKE A JUWEL
