While there might be plenty of rumors surrounding the Samsung Galaxy Note 3’s release date and specs, a new report all but confirms those aspects of the Note 3 still in question and more, but interestingly alludes to LTE-Advanced connectivity which just happens to have recently launched in the region. The Note 3 is expected to make its debut at the IFA Expo in Berlin, Germany from September 6-11.
The IFA Expo in Berlin was Samsung’s forum of choice in launching its current-generation and Note 3 predecessor, the Galaxy Note II, so it seems fitting that Samsung would opt for it again. The new spec sheet, courtesy of Know Your Mobile via South Korea’s Business Daily, coincides with much of what has already been rumored for the device while also noting its LTE-Advanced connectivity. LTE-Advanced offers around twice the speed of existent 4G radios and can be found in the likes of Samsung’s Galaxy S4. While note yet available in the U.S., if nothing else the connectivity shows just how powerful and fast the device is capable of being when outfitted to the right network.
As for what else has been rumored, users and Samsung loyalists should look forward to a 5.7-inch full HD super AMOLED display, either an Exynos 5 Octa or Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor, 32GB of internal storage with the likelihood of MicroSD support, and probably some kind of external upgrade as with the bezel or shell.
A 13MP camera will allow the device to compete with the overhauled photo technology of the likes of Nokia and its Lumia 1020, while its phablet-sized 5.7-inch display would appeal to those who enjoy a bulkier device.
The most appealing aspect of the Note 3, however, will come in the form of memory. Samsung has begun producing 3GB memory chips for its upcoming devices and the Note 3 will carry it. 3GB of RAM is nothing groundbreaking as LG’s upcoming G2 device is slated to boast it as well, but a Samsung device with that much computing power is bad news for other competitors for Apple, whose devices traditionally sport 1GB of RAM while its upcoming iPhone 5S is only expected to sport 2GB.
