Is it wise to upgrade to Samsung Galaxy Note 3? Some consumers and owners Samsung Galaxy Note 2 are thinking twice whether they should wait for Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is expected to make its debut in the third quarter of this year. Rumours point to possible September release date. There are speculations that Samsung will hold the announcement of the Note 3 on the annual IFA event in Berlin. The said launch will allow Samsung to maximize its profits and to complete the tried-and-tested September product cycle of the Galaxy Note series.

It is initially speculated that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 would make its grand debut at the 2013 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week in its keynote. The rumours are fuelled by the significant price drop of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 at some resellers early this month.

However, Samsung neither confirmed nor denied the rumours surrounding its devices.

Below are the five reasons why you should keep your Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and ignore the upcoming Galaxy Note 3.

Tablet-Like Screen Display - Samsung aims to go bigger and bigger in terms of screen size. Rumours claimed that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will include a mammoth 6.3 inch screen display. This may seem a bit overboard for some consumers. Previous models of the Note series barely fit in one's pocket. If rumours proved to be true, it is almost like buying a 7-inch tablet.

Not much update in functions - Based from the rumour mill, there is not much update on what the Galaxy Note 3 can do. Yes, it will be faster due to the eight core processor. However, there are very slight improvements on the abilities of the new smartphone.

Weight - Due to the larger screen, the device is heavier than its predecessor. Being that Samsung is also known for putting out devices that have been boldly made from a hard plastic as opposed to glass or metal like other companies' devices, there's been a great deal of surprise in the media world as we've learned the company may now be releasing the Galaxy Note 3 in metal.

Price and Availability - This is a no-brainer. It is most likely that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will be more expensive compared to its predecessor.
