The problem that smartphones have not yet managed to solve – Hypertext

As we all know, this week has taken place the presentation of the Samsung Galaxy Note and Samsung Galaxy 5 S6 Edge +, which come to close the great year that began with the outstanding Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge Galaxy. The new models, which I liked very much, made me think more about the status of previous models such as Galaxy Note Galaxy Note 3 or 4. In addition to other models that explain later, I think that particularly the Note 3 is a great example of big problem of modern smartphones.

And, although as Javier Lacort said “look out only in the specifications is the biggest mistake you can make when purchasing a smartphone”, the truth is yes we always serve as an indicator of the current state of mobile technology. And with the Galaxy Note 3, as with the Nexus 5 or LG G2 , we came to a great extent potentially taking a big leap on models of early 2013, as the Galaxy S4, HTC One or the Sony Xperia. In fact, I would say that together with its 3 GB of RAM, Note 3 was the first terminal that made me think that if acquired would end for many years , even with very demanding use.

The Nexus 5 takes over much better than the Galaxy Note 3 time, but it’s not enough.

If I now look back, I think we have sinned naive half, but in another sense I was proven right. The Nexus 5 , with less hardware to the Note 3 is a terminal that today is a perfectly fluid behavior on Android 5.1 Lollipop. The Nexus 4 is also conserved very well considering how time for him. Even the original Moto X, updated Lollipop too late, pays a level of fluency in the best interface and many subsequent flagships 2015, as evidence of my colleague Nicholas Rivera. The Note 3 compared, is very poor terminal . I have recently been able to test two different units of the terminal, with KitKat and Lollipop. Both I made me wonder if he was facing a terminal low-end or before any sharing specifications with my OnePlus One, from my point of view, still flies.

Smartphones match and outperform many PCs, but life is much lower. Despite the argument of immaturity, a change begins to be necessary.

The owners of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 should not even consider buying the new “necessity”, since most deteriorated after the period should be the battery, which in this model was interchangeable. Make the jump to the new is understandable, of course, but the problem is that the terminals of two years who still have a similar power new models are already obsolete. The smartphone potentially alcanzadodo PCs have a time ago, but still remains outdated level of performance with ease. The user, which is usually subject to a contract plan two years and not usually care, but if you look at terminals two years later, we see that, beyond which I mentioned before, and not even having a life very Eventually, most longer usable even down expectations of its user .

The most troubling is that even when brands covering updates either of these models, such as Samsung Note 3 to the Apple with its iPhone, the user does not get rid of the last update received ruin your experience . As I said before, not adquieriendo the last or the power break came in 2013 has been achieved longer life, it seems somewhat cyclical. Recently used the case of Moto E to show how matter upgrades at the time of kill or resurrect a terminal, and sadly terminals such as Galaxy or the iPhone that are worth seven times its price today, the problem it is similar.
