Comparison review
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has a general score of 79.5, which is a bit better than Xperia Z2's global score of 72.9. These devices work with Android OS (Operating System), but the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has a more recent 5.0 version while Xperia Z2 has Android 4.4.4, so it provides lots of additional features and performance enhancements. Despite being the best in this review, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 design is a little heavier and just a little bit thicker than Xperia Z2.
Xperia Z2 has a little more vivid screen than Samsung Galaxy Note 3, because although it has a little smaller display, and they both have an equal resolution of 1920 x 1080px, the Xperia Z2 also counts with a little better quantity of pixels in each screen inch. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 features a greater memory for apps and games than Xperia Z2, because although it has a SD memory slot that holds 64 GB smaller, it also counts with more internal memory capacity.
Xperia Z2 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 both count with really similar CPUs, both have a 450 MHz graphics processor, a Quad-Core CPU and the same RAM amount. The Galaxy Note 3 takes clearer photos and videos than Xperia Z2, although it has a camera with much less megapixels, a tinier diafragm aperture which is not so good for capturing images and videos in low-light environments, a way tinier back-facing camera sensor and a worse video resolution.
The Xperia Z2 and the Galaxy Note 3 both feature very similar batteries.
The Galaxy Note 3 is not only the best phones of the ones we are comparing here, but it's also by far the cheapest one.
