What to use: Galaxy NX versus Galaxy S3
1

The Easter holiday battle between my wife and me

She: a Samsung Galaxy S3

Me: a Samsung Galaxy NX

she used her S3 for

2* phone calls into German landlines
ca. 30 text messages

ca. 100 emails

ca. 300+ Whats App chats
ca. 300+ images taken
ca. 100* Google Maps lookups
ca. 1000* Google Search queries
ca. 500* using Google Chrome with browsing internet

me:

no phone calls

no text message

50 Whats app chats

1500 emails (business  )

1400+ Images taken

50 google maps lookup

200 Google searches

100 browsing internet

She: the battery was dead after 10h each day and we bought a spare pack. She had to use my external 2200mAh MicroUSB charger to reload it when in the car. It was originially meant to be MY spare battery for the GNX

Me: when back at the hotel I was still on 50%charge left

Winner:

1. and gold medalist GNX

2. silver and runner up: S3

so who needs a smartphone as they will be replaced by cameras very shortly

Man, you do sure a *lot* of emails!  That's impressive all by itself.

I couldn't help but laugh at your 'his vs hers' usage comparison, since it's nearly identical with my experience

Thanks for making my day

Re: What to use: Galaxy NX versus Galaxy S3

Ha, ha. Very good indeed Oliver. My wife has an S£ too, I have its poor cousin, the S3 mini. But then, I also have the GNX, and an NX300 too. I failed to get the mileage out of my GNX that you got out of your GNX's battery though. Agree with the other poster too, re. all those e mails.

Have a good day.
