Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile have all started taking pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 3, while Sprint has remained quiet. A new report claims it will begin selling the Galaxy Note 3 on October 2nd.
When Samsung officially announced the Galaxy Note 3, it confirmed that all four major carriers in the U.S. would offer its next-generation phablet. Verizon was the first to kick off pre-orders of the Note 3, with AT&T and T-Mobile following shortly thereafter. Sprint, meanwhile, has remained quiet on its Galaxy Note 3 launch plans.
A new report now claims that Sprint will launch the Galaxy Note 3 on October 2nd. According to sources, a Samsung rep visited a Sprint store a few days ago in order to give the staff a preview of the Galaxy Note 3 before its release. The publication claims that Sprint will likely coincide the launch of the Note 3 with Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 features a 5.7-inch 1080p Full HD Super AMOLED display with a pixel density of 386 pixels per inch (ppi) and runs Android 4.3 with Samsung's TouchWiz UI. It is powered by a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, an Adreno 330 graphics processing unit (GPU) and 3GB of RAM.
It's also packing a high-end 13-megapixel illuminated rear camera with "smart stabilization" and a 2-megapixel front-facing shooter, with both cameras able to capture 1080p HD video. It comes with 32GB of internal storage and includes a microSD expansion slot that will support up to 64GB microSD cards. Its wireless connectivity options include a 4G LTE radio, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, and NFC. You'll also find an IR blaster to turn the Note 3 into a universal remote control and it also features a dedicated program guide. Samsung has included a large 3,200 mAh removable battery and enhanced S Pen functionality.
It's always best, however, to take these reports with a grain of salt, especially since this news is not coming from Sprint directly. We'll be sure to keep you updated.
