As Samsung gears up for the supposed Galaxy Note III release date on September 4, hopeful fans of the South Korean tech giant’s upcoming flagship had been left in the dark on the device’s final specs. Until today. Tech pundits have been hanging on edge as to what processor Samsung would opt to include in its phablet handset, but today it is offering three different variants depending on location.
SamMobile, a Samsung fan site dedicated to its gadgets, got its hands on a list of which countries Samsung would be releasing its three respective versions of its Galaxy Note 3. One type will run on an Exynos 5420 (SM-N900) and the other a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 (SM-N9005). To find out which you’ll be receiving should you opt to purchase one, check out the list SamMobile has compiled right here per country.
Samsung has yet to officially announce when they’ll be debuting the device and how much it’ll cost, but the general consensus is that the Galaxy Note 3 will be unveiled at Samsung’s UNPACKED press conference the day before IFA in Berlin, Germany.
Check out the rest of the specs we’ve learned and compiled about the Galaxy Note 3 through various leaks:
Battery Life
The Galaxy Note 3 is expected to run on one of the most powerful smartphone batteries around, if not the most powerful. Of course, the battery isn’t burly just for the sake of being so, it has a 5.7-inch full HD super AMOLED display to keep lit among other goodies. The smartphone-tablet hybrid will carry a 3450mAh battery. To put in perspective just how powerful it is, consider that the 6.3-inch Samsung Galaxy Mega uses a 3200mAh battery while the Note 3’s predecessor, the Galaxy Note 2, uses a 3100mAh.
Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
Back in July Google released the latest version of its Jelly Bean mobile operating system, Android 4.3. However, the folks over at Samsung seem to have divulged nearly all of the most attractive specifications save for an OS. According to fan site GottaBeMobile today, though, “The device is now certain to arrive with Android 4.3” after clearing DLNA certifications, so while not made specifically made official by Samsung or Android the device will certainly operate on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, unless Google surprises us all with an even more recent OS update by the release date.
Specs
As for everything else we’re expecting from the Galaxy Note 3, users should keep an eye out for, 32GB of internal storage with the likelihood of MicroSD support, and probably some kind of external upgrade 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 3GB of RAM will allow the Note 3 to have faster processing with seamless multitasking capabilities and compete with LG’s latest G2 flagship released last week.
