3 Confirmed Features for the Galaxy Note 3: Skip the Galaxy Note 2 and Hold off for the New Samsung Phablet
Feeling the phablet itch now? It's best to delay your purchase decision for a few more months and wait for the Galaxy Note 3 release date, which rumours said will happen between August and September this year.
True, the 5.5-inch Galaxy Note 2 is an attractive gadget and it remains to be so despite the issuance of able rivals like the Galaxy S4, HTC One and Sony Xperia Z earlier this year.
But while there are many compelling reasons to grab the Note 2 now or any of the above-mentioned devices, experts are convinced postponing for now in favour of the Note 3 will be worth the wait.
And the three features below are the strongest arguments working for the third-generation phablet.
The Note 3 is the 2013 Android flagships rolled into one
Leaks have been suggesting that the final make of the upcoming Samsung phablet is mainly GS4-inspired. It is the second flagship that looks and feels like the GS4 and in many aspects, it will have the similar appeal and capabilities seen with its 2013 rivals.
Yet the few months that separate the Note 3 from earlier smartphone releases this year give it some major boost, specifically in the hardware department. The final list of the components to power the device remains under wraps but for sure the part will either equal or surpass those that the GS4 and other Android handsets have showcased so far. The least expectations are 1080p resolution on a 5.7-inch Full HD Super AMOLED screen panel, a quad-core CPU that is Snapdragon 800 or Exynos Octa 5 with promises of incredible power with energy-efficiency plus massive new battery.
One bonus would be the slimmed-down body that would make the Note 3 handling easier despite sporting a gigantic phone screen.
A gaming device with premium entertainment features
With specs that suggest of GS4-capabilkities and more, the Note 2 is amply geared for intensive gaming and amusement features by Samsung engineers. These gadget muscles will be supported by the high-end components niftily arranged inside the Note guts, ensuring that lags are minimised and screen rendering is realistic and virtually flawless.
Samsung once boasted that future makes of its mobile devices will allow consumers to put inside their pockets portable communications tools that function too as television, computers and gaming machines.
That vow is becoming a reality this year, first with the GS4 then with the Note 3.
S-Pen gains more enhancements
Samsung reinvented the stylus when it invented the phablet in the first Galaxy Note. It has become a Samsung trademark and naturally the company wound want to deliver more improvements for this device tool that the tech world has nearly forgotten.
It is no secret that the Asian tech giant is giving more highlights to the S-Pen as evident to the Premium Suite features showcased via the GS4. One of them, AirView, is obviously optimised for stylus and there will be more of that.
The object is to make the S-Pen a virtual extension of man's main manipulation tool - the hands, which by the way is the core function of all invented tech gadgets.
