The Flagship Samsung Smartphone you Never Considered.

A better phone in most specs than the Note 3, but at about eight times the price the gap is smaller than you'd expect in daily use.

Mentioned only as a roughly £1,000 flagship for price comparison.

Mentioned only as a roughly £700 flagship for price comparison.

A used Note 3 at around £100 is a sweet spot, with a sharp display, a capable camera and decent performance, as long as you accept old Android and no warranty.

For the same money it has a low-end processor, a weak camera and a 720p display, so the Note 3 beats it.

Costs more than the Note 3 but has a smaller battery and a 720p display.

Saving only £20 over the Note 3 means a worse display, processor, camera and Android version, so it makes no sense.
