Samsung Galaxy Note 3 launched - specs

Finally after another seemingly huge wait, the Note 3 has been launched an hour ago at IFA berlin 2013. Incidentally, this is the very event where the first of the Note series was launched. So a pretty nostalgic event for Samsung there. As expected , the Galaxy Note 3 is revved up with upgrades to make it sport everything latest in the tech market. Though yeah the size enhancement is not that significant ( relief for some who have been struggling with the Note 2's size ).

Clearly a nice improvement in terms of hardware from the Note 2, though we still have to find out about the S Pen's sensitivity levels ( I hope that is upgraded as well, though that would be asking too much). But seriously one point I would like to bring your focus is the rear camera!!! If you read it right, it is capable of Full HD recording at 60fps, and 4K recording at 30fps!!!! This is seriously some advantage it flexes here!!!Though yeah the screen doesn't support 4K, but who cares! Ok we do, but still it is AWESOME.



Now that's not all that Note 3 has to offer. Obviously, there are software improvisations to gain an edge over similarly specced Sony Xperia Z Ultra, upcoming LG Optimus G2 , and many more competitors lining up for a showdown ( Oh I forgot to mention IPhone 5S)



The major thing is for the S Pen and the device's optimization for it is the fact that we have a new cover for the Note 3, a cover that is sensitive to the S Pen. So no more exercising your hands to flip open the cover to use the S Pen. Furthermore, S Pen is complimented by the Air Command Feature, a feature that allows the S Pen in Air view to launch a pop up , featuring scrapbook, S search , Action Memo , and an updated S Memo.


Also is the new  My Magazine homescreen, a fresh breath from the previous one featuring in all earlier Galaxy devices, a product of the latest collaboration of Samsung with Flipboard. Apart from that, you will find the other gimmicky features of the S4 as well.

The Multi Window is updated, with the ability to run one apps in 2 windows under different run-situations. Eg. is the fact that you can run two websites simultaneously, a much needed addition , paving way for some actual multitasking.

There is no info on pricing, but the device will roll out globally from 25th September. Stay tuned for latest updates and reviews.

Samsung announces Note 3 on site..... accidentally!!

Yet another leak, an official one this time, that too on their own Kazakh website... and Samsung has yet again kinda blown up quite a bit of the aura over the Note 3, and no matter what kind of smiling face you may be making, I doubt it would have had been funny for Samsung guys there.

So Note 3 sees another leak, the previous one had revealed an advanced 13MP camera with 'anti-shake' technology, and this time, there is much more than just a teeny feature. And mind you, the leaks surely makes quite some jaws drop. This Note 3 leak is accompanied by the announcement of Gaaxy S4 Zoom and Galazy Tab 3 10.1.



So what exactly was 'announced'? The Note 3 is reported to be powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, clocked at astoundingly mind numbing 2.3 GHz!!!!! The 5.99 inch full HD phablet (mind the size guys) supports 4G LTE  , WiFi,  and will be running Android 4.2.2 or the upcoming 4.3 (yeah no 5.0 Key Lemon Pie on the charts guys)

The Note 3 is officially to be announced at the IFA 2013 , Berlin, this September , whereas the S4 Mini, S4 Zoom and Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 are to be launched at a London event on June 20. Considering the Note 3 specs that have come by, along with the expectation of an upgraded S pen (to maybe 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity) , the Note 3 surely will take quite some ingenuity from the competitors side to take down.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - update rumors

With one of the premium smartphones out of the box by Samsung , the Galaxy S4 that is, the focus now shifts towards the second 'Big thing' , quite literally, the Galaxy Note 3. As we posted earlier, the 3rd installment of the uber successful phablet series of Samsung is rumored to sport a massive 6.3 inch screen. That rumour is still there, apart from another one lurking around that the phone may actually have a relatively 'modest' 5.9 inch screen. Though Samsung's gamepad allows upto 6.3 inch, which supports the former one of course.

Seeing the hefty price of Galaxy S4 at $800, Note 3 could end up being in the same price range as well. One more thing that S4 cleared up is the processor - we can easily and safely expect the same, if not better, Octa Cored processor!

Another thing to be looking out for is the OS, with Android 5.0 Key Lemon pie expected to be launched in a Google event in May, along with , and inside, the Google Nexus 5 , we can look out for it to be there in the Note 3 as well.

Loads of stuff to look out for, as usual xD , and that's what we will continue to bring to you, so stay tuned in for more updates.
