Misc	SAR EU	0.29 W/kg (head)     0.36 W/kg (body)     NOW, MY OPINION on the phone: Well, it's a all powerful phone with superb specs as you have already seen. It's competition might be the iPhone 5S or the Sony Xperia Z or maybe the HTC One X or the One Ultra but if you ask whether its better than the S4, I'd say "Yep!". And the only reason is the mighty S-Pen! The only drawback can be the battery and erthe size but if the Mega sold so well the Note will be a giant in the market. The other drawback might be the unattractive camera on the back looks wise but I am sure the screen can melt you aaaaawaaaay. It is really an awesome phone but the question is "Is it worth the budget?". Well we don't yet know the price announced by Samsung but we can take it to be 400 - 500$. In that case I'd say it's worth the buy. Well that's it for today! Next post :- iPhone 5S vs. Galaxy Note III.
