The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has been an incredibly popular topic over the last few months, we don’t have much longer to wait until the device gets official.
Samsung are holding their IFA press event tomorrow, where they are expected to make the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 smartphone official, and also their new Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch.
What we have heard previously is that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will feature a 5.68 inch Super AMOLED full HD display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
The handset will be powered by a quad core 2.3Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, there will also be another version of the device with a Samsung Exynos 5420 processor, although this wont be available for a few months.
Earlier today we heard that there is the possibility that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will come with fingerprint technology, the details on this are a little scarce at the moment.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is expected to feature 3GB of RAM and will come with a choice of 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of built in storage, plus a microSD card slot.
Samsung are expected to launch a range of new camera features with the Galaxy Note 3, the device is rumored to feature a 13 megapixel camera with advanced features, including optical image stabilization.
We are also expecting Samsung to include their eye tracking technology with the Note 3, this first launched with the Galaxy S4 in the form of Smart Pause and Smart Scroll.
Smart pause works when you are watching a video, when you look away from the handsets display, the video is automatically paused. Smart Scroll can be used to scroll up and down web pages, emails and more, just by using your eyes.
We will have full details on the new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 when the handset is made official tomorrow, it is expected to go on sale in the UK and the US before the end of the month.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Video Rumor & Release Date Roundup
By Josh Smith On September 4th we expect Samsung to show off the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 — a new big-screen, S Pen toting phablet designed to deliver a familiar Galaxy Note experience with updated specs and features.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is the new Galaxy Note for 2013 which we believe will arrive soon after a September announcement internationally and in the UK.
We’ve yet to discover everything there is to know about the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but we expect a faster processor with battery sipping technology, an improved camera experience and the latest version of Android.
Buyers looking at the Galaxy Note 2, should hold off until the Galaxy Note 3 release, which looks like it is on the fast track for September soon after the announcement.
The Samsung Mobile Unpacked Episode 2 is already on the books for September 4th in Berlin at IFA 2013. This event will likely feature an extravagant launch event full of accessories and even a Galaxy Gear smartwatch.
As the fall progresses we are looking at a slew of new phablets, and large screen smartphones like the HTC One Max, a Nokia phablet and larger screen devices like the LG G2 and a possible Nexus 5. Let’s explore the Galaxy Note 3 specs, features and more to see how Samsung will likely compete with the influx of new smartphones.
Here are the latest Samsung Galaxy Note 3 rumors in a five-minute video summary.
Galaxy Note 3 Video: Rumor Roundup
We’re still waiting for a leaked Galaxy Note 3 video, and we may not see one until the days before the launch event, but we do have a roundup of the latest Galaxy Note 3 release date and rumors in a five-minute video that will bring you up to speed with what you can expect in September.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 display is reportedly increasing from the 5.5-inch size of the Galaxy Note 2 to 5.7-inches on the Galaxy Note 3. This small increase would put the screen size nearly 3/4 of an inch bigger than the Galaxy S4, and Almost 2 inches bigger than the iPhone 5.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 display will jump up to 5.7-inches and to a 1080P resolution according to rumors.
With the Galaxy Note 3 we also expect a high-resolution display with a 1920 x 1080 resolution that should equal out to 386 ppi, which should deliver a sharp looking display for photos, videos and text. As part of the Galaxy Note 3 display, we expect S Pen support. Samsung delivered a new S Pen and a new set of S Pen apps and features with the Galaxy Note 2, and while we haven’t seen any new S Pen leaks for the Galaxy Note 3 it looks like Samsung is banking on an improved Galaxy Note 3 S Pen.
Look for the S Pen to play a major role on the Galaxy Note 3.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 already brought some of the S Pen features to the screen with just a finger, so we could see a mix of S Pen and touch controls come together.
Galaxy Note 3 Design Rumors
A large number of Galaxy Note 3 photos leaked out in recent weeks and months, but none have shown off a final or near final design for the Galaxy Note 3. Even though we haven’t seen any clear photos of a Galaxy Note 3, we have some ideas about the Galaxy Note 3 design. First off, we could see a thinner Galaxy Note 3, shrinking from over 9mm to about 8mm in thickness.
The Galaxy Note 3 design could feature thinner bezels like the Galaxy S4 to stay with a similar size.
This can come from enhancements in designs, internals and new materials, similar to how Samsung shrunk to the Galaxy S4.Even though the larger Galaxy Note 3 display is rumored, rumors suggest the overall size of the Note 3 shouldn’t grow much. This is possible thanks to thinner bezels along the sides of the Galaxy Note 3, similar to the Galaxy S4 shown in the photos above.
Look for a new design from the Galaxy Note 3.
When it comes to the materials used in the Galaxy Note 3 it looks like plastic is in the cards. While some users may go for the HTC One Max solely for the aluminum materials, it looks like the Galaxy Note 3 could come with better plastic. The Samsung Galaxy S4 arrived with a new polycarbonate plastic that is thinner, lighter and stronger than that in the S3 and Note 2. This plastic also feels better.
The Note 3 back is likely removable with access to a large battery and a MicroSD card slot.
In addition to a plastic design, look for a removable back on the Galaxy Note 3 that provides access to the battery and a MicroSD card slot. Galaxy Note 3 Camera Rumors
Rumors point to a new Galaxy Note 3 camera with a 13MP sensor as the likely upgrade. There is talk of optical image stabilization which if it is included should help users take better photos and videos.
Expect an improved camera with supporting software.
In addition to the new sensor, look for new software on board, similar to the Galaxy S4, which allows users to use both cameras at the same time and modes to erase unwanted people from photos and much more.
Galaxy Note 3 Performance & Battery Life
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will likely ship with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor in the U.S. and a Exynos 5 Octa processor internationally. The device will likely come with 3GB of RAM.
Both of these processors include battery saving technologies that should help the Galaxy Note 3 last longer and charge faster.
Two leaks point to a massive 3,000+ mAh battery in the Galaxy Note 3. While the actual size is unconfirmed expect a big Note 3 battery that will give users long life.
Galaxy Note 3 Software
We expect the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will run Android 4.3 with a new TouchWiz overlay that delivers a host of Samsung specific features.
Look for Multitasking with the Samsung Multi-View feature that puts two apps on screen at the same time, allowing users to watch a movie and check Twitter or take notes and surf the web at the same time.
In short, TouchWiz is Samsung’s branded version of Android that should arrive on the Galaxy Note 3 with a suite of Samsung-specific features. The video above highlights the latest Samsung software features, some of which could come on the Note 3.
Galaxy Note 3 Release Date
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date rumors point to a very swift release. Two separate rumors suggest a September Galaxy Note 3 release date. Both rumors come from trusted publications that previously shared information about smartphone launches.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date is rumored for as early as just after the September 4th event from SamMobile to later in the month from Geeky Gadgets.
Like the Galaxy S4, look for a fast Galaxy Note 3 release date.
Both of these sources point to an International release soon after the Galaxy Note 3 announcement, which would help Samsung get to market in time to compete with the iPhone 5S and possibly ahead of the HTC One Max.
If Samsung is aiming for September, the U.S. Galaxy Note 3 release date could arrive soon after. The Galaxy S4 release came for AT&T right after the international release, soon followed by T-Mobile.
Galaxy Note 3 Photos, Details and More Leak as Launch Approaches
Josh Smith — 09/02/2013
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is set for a debut at IFA 2013 on September 4th, putting us in the home stretch for Galaxy Note 3 rumors and leaks.
Samsung is doing a pretty good job of keeping the Galaxy Note 3 under wraps, but as we move within a few days of the Unpacked 2 event, new Galaxy Note 3 photos, details and information is trickling out of Samsung and supply chains.
Samsung is already pushing out teasers for IFA 2013 including a new video that essentially claims aliens are responsible for the technology found inside the Galaxy Note 3 and leaked Galaxy Gear smartwatch.
Oddly Samsung is not pushing out a collection of teaser Galaxy Note 3 videos like we saw with the launch of the Galaxy S4 and with the Galaxy Note 2.
With the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 event just two days away, here’s a quick look at the latest Galaxy Note 3 leaks and rumors that came out over the long holiday weekend. Galaxy Note 3 Photo of Prototype
We are still waiting for an official look at the Galaxy Note 3, but a new leak from TechKiddy shows what appears to be a Galaxy Note 3 developer unit or prototype.
A leaked Galaxy Note 3 photo shows a developer unit or prototype of the new large-screen device.
The image above shows a large screen device that the tipster says features very slim bezels and less rounded corners. This is not likely a finished product, so expect a Galaxy Note 3 with more polish and possibly a thinner body when Samsung announces it, but this photo does look similar to the leaked parts photos.
Another Galaxy Note 3 Release Date Rumor
There are no shortage of Galaxy Note 3 release date rumors flowing this close to the launch event, and yet another rumor points to an incredibly fast Galaxy Note 3 release.
fuckwarezone claims an inside source that previously provided Samsung release info states the Galaxy Note 3 release date is set for September 27th in Singapore.
This lines up with a previous leak from eTrade, which says Galaxy Note 3 pre-orders would start on September 16th and the release would arrive on the 27th.
If true, this is further support of a rapid Galaxy Note 3 release, as it took Samsung two months after the Galaxy Note 2 event to release in Singapore.
Galaxy Note 3 Wallpaper
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 wallpaper may not be that interesting at first glance, but it does come with one clue that matches previous rumors. Evleaks shared the following photo which is reportedly the default lockscreen wallpaper.
The resolution is 1920 x 1920 which lines up with a 1920 x 1080 resolution for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. There is no way to confirm the screen size from this leak or that this is a real wallpaper, butEvleaks is generally a reliable source. Download the original Galaxy Note 3 lockscreen here.
Galaxy Note 3 LTE Certification
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 LTE model is ready for that fast release date, passing through the Global Certification Forum. SamMobile discovered the listing for the SM-9005, which matches with previously leaked Galaxy Note 3 model numbers.
Listing for what is likely the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 LTE.
This Galaxy Note 3 LTE listing shows supported LTE bands and other information that may be of interest to some users who wonder if this model will work on their carrier.
More Snapdragon Powered Note 3 Devices
Rounding out the collection of Galaxy Note 3 rumors is a claim from Ittoday that the Korean Galaxy Note 3 will come with a Snapdragon 800 processor.
The Note 3 could come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor in South Korea.
Samsung is reportedly working on several versions of the Note 3, some of which will use the Exynos Octa 5 processor while others will use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800. The internal document from South Korean carrier KT shows a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor destined for the Note 3 instead of the Samsung made Exynos.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 should include a 5.7-inch 1080P Display and include new S Pen features as well as a new design that borrows heavily from the Galaxy S4′s looks and design.
