If you’re looking for a handset packed with great features for a cheaper price, you should buy the OnePlus One—one of the strongest, most affordable competitors in the smartphone market. While this affordable handset is enjoying a lot of attention, there are also popular handsets that are selling a lot of units even with their higher price tags. Now we are talking about the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Samsung Galaxy S5. In case you are looking at these three options as possible smartphones that you will likely buy, here’s a comparison that might help you out.
Design and Display
While it’s true that the OnePlus One device doesn’t enjoy that much fame like the Samsung phones, it still has great features that make it a close rival of the two. This phone comes packed with a 5.5-inch display which is smaller than the Note 3 but bigger than the Galaxy S5.
The three popular handsets share the same 1080×1920 pixels of screen resolution but they differ from each other when it comes to their pixel densities. The OnePlus phone has 401ppi, the S5 has 432ppi and the Note 3 has 386ppi.
What the Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone takes pride of is its waterproof and dustproof exterior which is not offered by the two other handsets. Also, it comes equipped with a fingerprint sensor that offers protection for the content saved by the user on its interface.
On the other hand, both the Samsung Note 3 and the OnePlus One devices have Corning Gorilla Glass 3 technologies that protect their screen from scratches.
Processor
The basis in choosing the right smartphone to buy doesn’t always have to be the price. It is very important that you are aware of the processor that supports a phone before buying it. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is supported by Krait 400 quad-core processor that is Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset clocked at a speed of 2.3GHz. Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the OnePlus One smartphones are both powered by Krait 400 quad-core processors which are based on Qualcomm MSM8974AC Snapdragon 801 and are clocked at 2.5GHz. All three of them come equipped with GPU of Adreno 330.
If the information provided above is not enough for you to make an informed decision on which to buy among the three options, it might help if you knew more about their camera systems. The S5 excels with a 16MP ISOCELL rear camera but the OnePlus One handset excels over the other two with its secondary camera of 5MP. Hope this info helps!
