Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Release Date

With a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date widely expected to be held in 2013, a selection of recent reports have looked to narrow down the device’s arrival.

Having failed to materialise alongside the S4 as some had predicted, the Note 3 release date has since been pegged for an IFA 2013 unveiling in early September. In recent weeks a flurry of reports have highlighted a single day for the phone’s arrival, with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date expected to be confirmed on September 4.

According to claimed “sources close to the matter,” the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date will follow the September 4 unveiling, with a late September / early October arrival expected to see the stylus bragging device hit retailers within days of the iPhone 5S.

Although Samsung has as yet failed to confirm its plans for a September 4 press conference, the ever nearing date would be a fitting time for the announcement. The pre-IFA press day is already set to host the conference of fellow tech giants, Sony.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 News

Far from the only device expected to be unveiled on September 4, recent reports out of Samsung’s native Korea have claimed that the Galaxy Note 3 will share centre stage with the Samsung Gear Smartwatch, a product known to be in the works.

"We've been preparing the watch product for so long," Samsung's executive VP Lee Young Hee said in an interview earlier this year. He added: "We are preparing products for the future, and the watch is definitely one of them."

Things have changed dramatically since the Note 2’s arrival too, with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 not expected to be the largest smartphone on the Samsung roster come launch. Having looked to corner all market niches, the Note 3 has been preceded by an oversized, mid-range smartphone in the form of the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3.

With the Mega looking lacking the same stylus hosting wares as the Note range, it has been suggested that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will see the ‘phablet’ device sport a new generation of Samsung S-Pen stylus. It is predicted the new S-Pen will offer even more detailed control than the MWC 2013 unveiled Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Screen

One of the most hotly contested points of the device’s specs sheet, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 screen is expected to be heading for an increase of size over its predecessor. However, that said, much speculation still remains around exactly what size form factor the stylus hosting device will eventually sport.

With the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 lining up at 5.5-inches in size, up on the 5.3-inch of the original-generation model, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has been tipped to play host to an even larger display.” Recent “R&D samples” found entering India confirmed that Samsung has tested prototypes with 5.5-inch, 5.7-inch and 6-inch screens.

Although a 5.7-inch Samsung Galaxy Note 3 screen size has received the most backing from the rumour mill, it is far from a foregone conclusion that this is how big the phone will be, with a 5.99-inch display also being widely banded around.

“Samsung is working on introducing a new phablet using a 5.9-inch organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screen,” Korean news outlets recently quoted unnamed Samsung officials as revealing.

Suggesting that Samsung will implement a reduced bezel design to provide as large a screen size within a shell as small as possible, the sources added: “Even if these kinds of sizes ― from 5-inch to 6-inch ― are stretching the limits of traditional pockets, well-made phablets using bezel-less technology have been warmly received. Users prefer bigger phones and they use them more often. Samsung will be more focused on larger phones.”

Adding backing to these claims, further Note 3 rumours have suggested that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 screen will be “6-inches” is size and will see the “screen accounting for 84 per cent” of the phone’s overall size.

What’s more, regardless of the screen’s size, a spattering of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 rumours have suggested the third-generation device will be the world’s first device to land with a flexible, unbreakable display. Although it is well publicised that Samsung is working on such technologies, it is unlikely that flexible displays are ready for mass production, and, as such, reports to this nature should be taken with a considerable pinch of salt.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Specs

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is expected to be one of the most powerful phones on the market at launch, rivalling even its flagship sibling, the Samsung Galaxy S4.

“The new handset will be powered by the in-house Exynos octa-core chipset to meet consumer demand for faster data processing and download speeds,” reported insiders recently revealed. They added: “Samsung plans to use the Octa core processor in the upcoming Galaxy Note 3, which will debut later this year.”

While the S4 received octa-core innards in certain market, those nations with 4G connections (UK, US) we handed a 1.9GHz quad-core substitute. It is understood that the same will be true of the Note 3, with the UK rendition of the phone to be a speedy quad-core option.

Arguably more important, the Note 3 specs sheet will benefit from 3GB of RAM according to multiple leaks.  Allowing for improved multitasking and smoother app transitions, the 3GB of memory would be the first for a smartphone device. It has been suggested that next year’s Samsung Galaxy S5 will feature the same option.

On a camera front the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 looks set to host a strong photographic offering, with the same 13-megapixel snapper found within the S4 partnered by a Xenon flash and a second, 2-megapixel snapper up front. 

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Rumours

A range of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 rumours have claimed the phone will be just 8mm thick. Although it is believed the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will feature a design similar to that of an oversized S4, with a slim profile and softly curved edges, a selection of claimed leaks have pointed a boxier, squared off finish.

A selection of rumours which are far from confirmed, the discussions of the Note 3 design have pegged the phone as sporting everything from a squared off plastic finish, to a more luxurious, metal construction. In short, it is unclear as yet exactly how the Note 3 will look.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Price

Price is one area of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 that has yet to properly surface in the raft of rumours and leaks that have been doing the rounds. Needless to say, however, based on past Note offerings it isn’t going to be cheap.

The 16GB version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 sported a near £550 price tag at launch and it is believed the Note 3 will be of a similar position.

Google Wallet pulling support for gift, loyalty cards

A little bit of bad news tonight if you use Google Wallet for gift cards and loyalty cards. According to an e-mail that just went out, support for NFC redemption of gift cards and loyalty cards will end on Aug. 21. Any remaining balance will have to be spent by then.

Google stresses that all other Google Wallet features remain — including the NFC tap-to-pay functionality — and even hints that "other options for gift and loyalty car redemption within Google Wallet" might be on the way.

Here's the full deal:

Thanks you for being a Google Wallet user.

You're receiving this email because you've added gift and/or loyalty card to your Google Wallet app, and there's a change coming soon that will affect you.

On August 21, 2013, we are ending the current NFC redemption of gift and loyalty cards added to Google Wallet. If you've already redeemed your gift cards, you don't have to do anything. If you have a balance remaining and you'd like to spend it using the tap and pay functionality, you must do so by August 21st. If you still have the physical gift cards, they will continue to work even after August 21st.

Please note that this does not impact NFC credit and debit card payments, and you'll still be able to tap your phone to make purchases.

We're working with retailers on other options for gift and loyalty card redemption within Google Wallet, and are excited to share them with you soon.

If you have any questions, feel free to email or call us.

Sincerely,
