There is always so much hype surrounding the release of a new phone, especially the Samsung Galaxy S or Note series or Apple’s iPhone, most can never live up our expectations…the Galaxy S4 is a good example, a few upgrades and software gadgets, but looks and feel too similar to be revolutionary. There were rumors of a metal body on the S4 and Note 3, but with the S4 they claimed the metal body could not be massed produced in sufficient quantities – but what about the Note 3, certainly a metal body could be produced for it.
Soon, the Galaxy Note 3 will be unveiled, and the hype keeps coming, but is it really going to be worth ditching my Note 2 to move on to the Note 3? I like better specs as much as the next nerd, but my Note 2 is fast and still “smooth as butter,” do I really need anymore. There is still so much we do not know about the Note 3 – we don’t even know the size of the screen, only that it will be 5.7 – 5.99-inches and full HD Super AMOLED 1080p, or what processor will be onboard; either a Snapdragon 800 quad-core running 2.3GHz or Samsung’s own Octa-Core. The Korea Economic Daily claims we will see 3GB RAM, a 13-megapixel camera, Android 4.3, improved S-Pen functions, and TouchWiz.
SamMobile believes the screen will be 5.99-inches and the device 8mm thick and about 182 grams, just up a couple from the current 180 grams. They expect an announcement at IFA 2013 in Berlin, although Samsung may have a big “party” shortly before to out their new flagship, again, rumored September 4.
The faster processor and 3GB of RAM is intriguing and I am looking forward to the higher resolution screen, but I would really like a metal body – not because the Note 2 feels cheap, it does not, but I like the looks of brushed metal. Let us know if you are a Note 2 user and are looking forward to upgrading to the Note 3, or will you be content to wait for the Note 4?
