A few months from now, Samsung will refresh its flagship phablet, prompting tech watchers to anticipate a classic battle between the Galaxy S4 and the Galaxy Note 3, which analysts said is set for a September 2013 release date.

Whatever will come out, it is clear that the Samsung phablet is among the first handset to taste the new powerful mobile operating system.
And it gets more interesting as the Note 3 will certainly showcase first-rate smartphone powers thanks to Samsung's Premium Suite, which consumers have learned to love for handset feature like Air View, Smart Stay, Multi-View and touch-free controls. All these points to a richer Galaxy smartphone experience that make allowed Samsung to confidently tussle with its bitter rival - Apple.
The Note 3 will come with a vastly improved stylus in S-Pen
