Samsung all the way on this one, the Acer isn’t too far behind but you can’t beat Samsungs consistency 🙂
Get the Acer to the US on some major carriers and shake up the game a little.
The lack of stylus on the Asus means I won’t be buying.
How often do you use a stylus?
Well as for me. I have the note 2 already. And Samsung already proving to be one of the top in the industry. Falls short this time. By merging 2 phones together and adding a few blings on it. Did not really impress me at all. To me there was really no thought behind the Note 3. Other than lets hurry and push something out. Samsung should have listened to consumers needs and wants. After looking at the Acer and what they are packing in this phablet. It looks like a little powerhouse waiting to explode on the market. I think Samsung has quite the competition this year. Unlike HTC not placing a snapdragon 800 Chip-set in their One Max. I guess their vision is different than the rest of the industry. But don’t count them out yet. So when all the dust has settled. Lets see who comes out on top. Can not wait til Q4.
