Confirmed Galaxy Note 3 Specs on Release Date: 5.99-Inch 1080p Full HD Super AMOLED, Slimmed-Down Design, 3GB of RAM & Jelly Bean 4.3
Samsung's 2013 phablet offering is fully expected to be a monster device and newly-leaked information about the Galaxy Note 3 largely confirmed the upscale specs on its rumoured September release date.
The call coming from prolific Samsung scoop provider SamMobile points to a massive and crisp phone screen that stretches 5.99-inch diagonally, with the images and clips to be brought to near-real existence by a Full HD Super AMOLED screen.
By all accounts, the Note 3 is the top-notch 1080p handset of the year, easily trouncing its sister device, the Galaxy S4, and the equally impressive HTC One.
While showing off a sprawling screen, Samsung engineers shaved off sufficient heft from the Note 3 as SamMobile claims the upcoming phablet is thinner at 8mm, coming from the 9.4mm thickness seen in the Galaxy Note 2.
The two brute brothers, however, hit the scale at an identical 182 grams, suggesting that most of the components inside the guts are shared.
And one of them could be the 8-core Exynos Octa 5 though according to Gotta Be Mobile, the CPU power to fire up the Note 3 could be a mix of the Samsung-developed chip and that of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800, processing tasks at a quad-core capability.
Any of these chips would likely tap into a 3GB of RAM, SamMobile said, a major upgrade indeed from the 2GB of RAM provision that was in the Note 2. This impressive hardware mix makes for a snappy phablet operation.
Most likely to run the whole Galaxy Note 3 show is Google's Jelly Bean 4.3, which new reports said will hit the Android upgrade pipeline in the few months ahead or just in time for the expected landing of the phablet.
Release date of the Note 3 is reportedly set on early September but alleged production readjustments could advance its actual arrival. Earlier, the smartphone was touted to sport a new Galaxy look with emphasis on metal casing and flexible display for maximum durability.
Those specs were ditched along the way and with the Galaxy Note 3 taking on the signature Samsung build, which is a fusion of polycarbonate and Gorilla Glass, it seems possible that Samsung's Episode 2 unveiling could come as early as August.
