Samsung Galaxy Note 3: Rumored Specs, Release Date, Price Point
Following
the unexpected success of the Note, Samsung continued the onslaught
with the Note II, launching a huge marketing campaign which allowed them
to create an ever broader user base. The phone exceeded all
expectations and Samsung found themselves with a second hit series, next
to their popular Galaxy S devices. In all likelihood,
the Galaxy Note 3 will be a step up from the newly released Galaxy S4,
which featured a 1080p display and Qualcomm quad-core processor in North
America.
Memory
Again, the Korean version of the Galaxy S4 had 3 GB RAM compared to the U.S. 2 GB, and it is not far-fetched to think that Galaxy Note 3 will have same or better.
Storage
It is hard to say what Samsung are going to decide with the Note 3, but it is our guess that this time they are stepping up the internal storage capacity to 32 GB in the U.S. as well, as apps and media content in general are starting to require larger storage space from devices.
Features
Apart from its size, the other major thing that sets the Galaxy Note apart from the Galaxy S series is the S-Pen, Samsung's word for stylus. Although the Galaxy S4 received many of the capabilities of the Note 2 that had previously required a stylus, we guess that Samsung's investment in S-Pen apps will not be thrown out the window, but rather expanded upon to increase productivity in the Note 3.
Release Date
To be announced, but for what it is worth, analysts say the most likely is a release around the same time as the iPhone 5S this year. The carriers that will sell the device are reasonably the top 5, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and U.S. Cellular.
Price
Price will again be slightly higher than the Galaxy S series
