Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Launch Event Same With Low-Cost iPhone 5S Release Date?
Two smartphones, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the low-cost iPhone 5S, are bound to enter the market in September due to similar release dates.
The Samsung Unpacked event has been confirmed on September 4 and will be expected to clash with Apple's cheaper iPhone 5S release date.
Samsung recently sent out invitations to the members of the press for the launch event of the Galaxy Note 3 on September 4.
The iPhone 5S release date, on the other hand, was rumoured to be in early September as well. According to the latest note of KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the cheaper version of the iPhone will be launched along with iPad 5. Kuo speculated that the iPhone model will bear a tag price of $450 to $550.
Rumours proved to be true that Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date will be ahead of the IFA 2013 event in Berlin, Germany.
This strategy was similar to the one Samsung employed with the Galaxy Note 2 - Samsung held an Unpacked Event where the phablet was unveiled right before IFA 2012 kicked off. IFA 2013 is schedule to run from Sept. 6 to 11.
Some of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 rumoured specs and features included: screen display between 5.5 inches to 6.3 inches Full HD and AMOLED screen. There were reports that the screen display is either unbreakable or flexible.
The device will be powered by quad core Snapdragon 800 processor chip paired with 3 GB RAM. Moreover, it will run the latest 4.2.2 version of the Jelly Bean OS or upcoming Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie OS. It will have a 13-megapixel rear camera with auto focus.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will likely to be available in 32, 64 and 128 GB variants with expandable storage via micro SD slot. The device will include its famous S-Pen stylus and finger hovering feature as well as a lasting 4,000 mAh Li-on battery.
Meanwhile, the cheaper iPhone 5S will be expected to boast a 4-inch screen display, a dual core processor and an 8-MP back camera all housed in a cheap plastic casing. However, based on Kuo's latest note, we can expect that the low-cost iPhone may boast the features of the iPhone 5.
