Read Samsung Galaxy Note 3: Faster, Lighter and bigger screen! in Ehab Heikal’s blog
Samsung just announced the Galaxy Note 3 which will be available in most countries on September 25th. The new phone improves on the old Galaxy Note 2 in each and every respect. The processor will be an octa core 1.9 Gigahertz putting it something like 15% faster than s4 and a whole lot faster than the old note 2. The screen is larger than the 5.5inch note 2 screen, it now measures 5.7 inch but surprisingly it will be lighter than the note 2! The resolution is now Full HD which doubles the amount of pixels from the old Note 2. Also the RAM has been increased from 2Gigs on the Old model to a more notebook like 3 Gigs, so this little phone has 75% of the Ram of entry level notebook computers ( the usual entry level ram for a notebook is 4Gigs now ). The storage was also upgraded and will start at 32Gigs not 16Gigs of the Note 2.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 on paper ( since we do not have one to try it yet ) is superior to the old Galaxy Note 2 in every respect, and I am sure it will be a hit.
