New images and specs from what is being reported to originate from the Samsung Galaxy Note 3's user manual have hit the web. It provides a look at the design and specs of the rumored device.
As we get closer to September there are going to be three smartphones that will begin to make headlines before their official announcement. The devices include Apple's iPhone 5S and low-cost iPhone, and Samsung's Galaxy Note 3. We haven't heard too much on the Galaxy Note 3 front for a little while, so it's time to report a new leak regarding the upcoming phablet.
A Dutch publication has claimed to receive sketches and specs of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. The site claims it received the images and information from a source that took it from the Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900) user manual. The images show a device that matches Samsung's current design scheme found in the Galaxy S4 and other recent smartphones and tablets. The smartphone appears to have a dedicated camera button on its right side along with its power button. Samsung has been rumored to be adding some advanced camera capabilities to the Note 3 like optical image stabilization.
The specs of the smartphone have also been included with the images. The Galaxy Note 3 will reportedly run Android Jelly Bean, but it's not clear if it will be 4.2 or the soon to be released Android 4.3. The phablet will include a 13-megapixel camera and sport a new feature in the form of a Xenon flash. Samsung just recently launched its camera-centric Galaxy S4 Zoom, which also includes advanced camera capabilities and a Xenon flash. The publication claims that Samsung has extended those features from the S4 Zoom to the Note 3.
The Note 3 will also include a 5.7-inch 1920 x 1080 Super AMOLED display, which has been previously reported as the being the Note 3's display specifications. The images also show another recently reported spec; Samsung will ship at least two variants of the Galaxy Note 3, one will include the company's Exynos 5 Octa processor and the other will use the new 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor.
As with all rumors, take this one with a huge grain of salt. We are likely to hear more and more leaks leading up to the Note 3's September launch.
