As Samsung's Unpacked Event nears, more leaks and information are coming regarding the highly anticipated phone. This time, there is a buzz on the upcoming features, as the Galaxy note 3 is said to have just cleared DLNA certification.

Know Your Mobile reports that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has finally been approved by the DLNA last August 8 and noted to be set and ready to launch a number of features.

In the listed set of features, what stands out are two things, the 13-megapixel camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS) and the 3450 mAh battery.

If this report is true, then Samsung will be rolling out its biggest battery to date, which is most probably good news to those who use their devices unsparingly throughout the day.

GigaOM even points out that, comparing the battery size of the upcoming device with other Samsung products will make you notice that the 3450 mAh is already a very powerful battery, considering how the Samsung Galaxy Mega's 6.3-inch frame and features are already powered by a 3200 mAh battery with not many complaints.

It begs the question of what may be inside the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Banking on the rumour, does this merely show Samsung's need to put down it mark as an innovative brand?

Or does a 3450 mAh battery mean that a powerful, still unannounced software and added features lie in wait within the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, hence the need fro a bigger battery?

Tizen OS not yet happening?

For the longest time, one of the biggest manufacturers of smartphones and devices that have been resorting to Android, the Google-owned OS is Samsung.

And with Samsung's constant drive to show that it is an independent manufacturer not just for its devices but also its platforms, there has been talk about the Tizen, an OS that will be developed by Samsung and used solely for Samsung devices.

The aim of this move is to showcase not just Samsung's power as one of the leading brands capable of creating their own devices, but of also creating their own OS, just like Apple is as a powerhouse as of the moment.

However, according to Phone Arena, this may not be the case, at least for the meantime, as the expected October or November release of a Samsung smartphone carrying the Tizen OS may not come to fruition.

The report states that Samsung may be slowly down the development though not necessarily stopping it. But given that there is some truth in the fact that Samsung's devices work because of the Android OS backing its system, Samsung may just have realized how potentially fatal this sudden move might be.

Considering that there are other upcoming OS rolling out that have not yet been as successful, battling it out with the two major leaders like iOS and Android alone may make the battle even tougher for Samsung.

If Samsung switches from the Android to its own OS, would you still consider buying its upcoming lineup of devices?
