Samsung Note 3 ... or Samsung GALAXY Note 3

RegTheDonk · 26-10-2013, 14:48

Hi, can anybody help on this problem?

Wife's due and upgrade and is keen on the new Galaxy Note 3, so goes into Carphone Warehouse to take a look. There are two deal on Vodafone - one for a Samsung Note 3 at £47 a month, the other for a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for £52 a month.

Tech guy doesn't know if there is a difference, and I can't find anything on line which talking about JUST being a Note 3. Can only find info on the GALAXY Note 3.

Is there a difference between the two? Does the Note 3 even exist?

TIA for any help

Hey thanks for the replies all. Will explore the deals on that link, see how they compare with upfront costs and amount of data etc.

Paul, I accept and appreciate your statement that its the same phone, but if that's the case any idea why there is a price difference? Surely there must be a reason?

Could be one is a 12 month contract as its £52 on 12 months.

Another could be 4G or 3G data.

CPW tech guy. FFS. How do you get that job? By knowing which way round to plug in a micro USB cable?

I do feel sorry for people asking for advice in any high street shop.

looking at the CPW site, looks like its different data allowance.

Thanks Paul, that's what I thought at first different mins/text/data etc, but the guy in store said it was £52 for the Galaxy Note 3, and £47 for the Note 3 on the identical deal if you see what I mean. (4G, unlimited calls/text, 12gb data, no cash up front).

Unfortunately if you're not into the nuts and bolts of something, you have to take advice and trust the so called experts in a shop. Maybe there is a difference, maybe he screwed up, I didn't know which is why I'm grateful of your help is saying its the same phone
