The Samsung Galaxy Note just became available on all major carriers in the U.S. and now Amazon is offering the 5.7-inch AT&T phablet for $289.99.
If you're looking to save a few bucks on the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Amazon has just started offering the device at a discounted price compared to AT&T's pricing. The Galaxy Note 3 brings new features and high-end specs to Samsung's Galaxy Note phablet line. The handset has even received a slight redesign, sporting a larger display compared to its predecessor but somehow managing to be both thinner and lighter than the Note 2.
Samsung also ditched its usual glossy plastic back, using a faux-leather material instead, which makes the phablet feel better in the hand and also adds a more premium look to the Galaxy Note 3.
The AT&T 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 on top. It is powered by a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, an Adreno 330 graphics processing unit (GPU) and 3GB of RAM.
Its camera capabilities include a 13-megapixel illuminated rear camera with "smart stabilization" and a 2-megapixel front facing shooter, with both cameras able to record 1080p HD video. It has 32GB of internal storage, as well as a microSD expansion slot that will support up to 64GB microSD cards. Its wireless connectivity options consist of a 4G LTE radio, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, NFC, and an IR blaster to turn the Note 3 into a universal remote control and also features a dedicated program guide. Samsung has packed a large 3,200 mAh removable battery and enhanced S Pen functionality.
The Galaxy Note 3 is also the only smartphone that works with Samsung's just-released Galaxy Gear smartwatch, in case you're looking to jump headfirst into the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem.
You can purchase the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for $289.99 when opening a new line or upgrading your handset.
