Galaxy Note 3

[Saltcreep]

Okay, so I've been following news daily on the Galaxy Note 3, since I decided to pass on the spec bumps of the S4. I've searched this forum and don't see any posts on the Note 3 (much less a sub-forum) so I'm starting one. Thought it was strange there isn't one already..

The rumored key features on the Note 3 are:

- Exynos 5 on all units
- Screen bump to 5.9"
- Could feature a flexible YOUM OLED display
- September announcement at IFA 2013 in Berlin
- Key Lime Pie

Who's waiting for it?? What have you heard??

def waiting for this. Have a note 2 since December and love it. So I know the next one will be great. It seems Samsung wil end up doing what the did on S3 and note 2. Skip there processor in S4 but include it in Note 3. If they can keep the phone size the same but have bigger screen that will be fantastic.

Almost all rumors say the screen size will be 6.3". Even Samsung's accessories are pointing to that.

Most likely the 6.3 in screen will be on the newly announced Mega

This.

Everything in the OP looks to be about right except for the flexible screen. I don't think we'll be seeing it any time this year other than what they already showed back in January, unless it's a more advanced prototype. I had read awhile back that the Galaxy S4 would be the last "typical" (I can't think of a better word, or the words that was used to describe the design atm) design from Samsung, and that whatever comes out next year to succeed the S4 will likely have the YOUM display.

That 6.3" that the gamepad can hold is apparently for another device that's not the Note 3.

Would be hard if the screen size goes to 6.3" but doable if it's only 5.9".

Anything is possible. Well if they got rid of the home button it would be easy.

It started that way; then the counter-rumors said it would only be 5.9 as the OP indicated.

That's the trouble with rumors.

If they keep the phone the same physical shape and size I'm definitely in. Anything bigger I can't hold and use with one hand. I hope they do like on s4 and just make screen bigger. All I can say is I love my note 2 and I watch my missed tv episodes on it and it doesn't bother me because screen is amazing.

Using N4 right now. My next phone will prolly be either the note 3 or N5 with an honorable mention to the X phone. Decision is pending . . .

So the latest rumors are saying the the Galaxy Note III will be the first to have a plastic OLED screen. I like the concept, as it is more durable/flexible, thinner and lighter, but I am just worried how it will affect input sensitivity/touch response as opposed to the traditional glass

Man.. I just don't know if they can really do much better than the Note 2 without making some boneheaded change that they thought was innovative but ends up destroying what used to be a good idea. For the 1st time in many years after my purchase of the Note 10.1 and the Note 2, I really feel like I don't need to look at anything else. What really does a flexible screen do for a user? who bends any screen to look at it? What am I going to do... mount my phone on my eyes like shades and look like Geordi? I don't think so. I'm personally fine with the home button, otherwise that's smudges and prints on the whole face of the phone instead of just part of it.

One thing I would like is an FM feature, like the S4. The IR remote control is something I'd use.

I love my note 2. I added a new line in December and got it as a birthday present for myself. I can't wait to get the note 3

Im still digging the note2, even though I will want the 3, I still think there is a lot of life left in the 2, before a refresh. Even the s3 still is decent. Personally, I like to get the new toy like everyone, but a 1 year refresh? The note 2 still does things new for me at least once a week at this point. just my opinion, dont get me wrong......I will see the 3 and say" oooo piece of candy" and pick it up. I usually get tired of the same device. The note2 is the first phone I would keep for the 2 year subsidy cycle, had I not bought it off contract. But I agree with most posters, keep the overall same size.
