It should be no surprise to anyone that Samsung will be launching a new version of its popular Galaxy Note smartphone next week at IFA in Berlin on September 4. What's surprising though, is that Samsung has managed to keep things under wraps, unlike Apple's upcoming iPhone 5S and 5C which have been leaked all over the Web.
The next Galaxy Note will likely be called the Galaxy Note 3, following in the footsteps of Samsung's current naming conventions (e.g. the Note, Note 2).
What we aren't certain, however, is just what the screen size of this new Note. Earlier rumors had pegged it at 6.3-inches, which is similar to the Galaxy Mega 6.3. We're guessing that Samsung would not want two phones in the same size category, so perhaps the new Note will instead get a 5.99-inch display as rumored. It's also likely the new Note will sport a full-HD display.
It is also rumored that the Note 3 will get a GPU with eight cores and 3GB RAM. This is likely to be a Mali 450 GPU paired with Samsung's own Octa-core Exynos 5 processor. We suspect that this will only be for select models -- international versions are likely to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor.
Samsung is likely to pack the biggest removable battery it can fit into the phone, and there are rumors claiming that the battery will have a capacity of 3,450mAh.
Lastly, we can expect to see the Note 3 sporting the same 13-megapixel camera as the S4 (the Note 2 used the same sensor as the S3). There's a rumor that this camera will be capable of capturing 4K content. The Note 3 is likely to be running Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) but we won't be too surprised if it comes with the latest Android 4.3 version at launch (the Note 2 was one of the first smartphones to sport Android 4.2).
So the two big companies (App;e and Sumsung) launching their big project next month. lets see who got better this time. I personally feels that Sumsung will win this because of current of reputation of Apple and lame success of IPhone 5, but you never know
