In November of last year, the last of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 variants for the United States emerged with Verizon Wireless becoming the last major wireless carrier in the U.S. to offer the Galaxy Note. The launch on Verizon put a stamp on the largest Galaxy Note launch yet as the five biggest carriers, all of which carried the Galaxy S3 and now carry the Galaxy S4, made the device available on their network.
This should have come as no surprise to anyone. For months, those not on AT&T pleaded with their carriers to release the original Samsung Galaxy Note, a device with a 5.3-inch display and a smartphone that received a lot of criticism prior to its official arrive. Before the Galaxy Note arrived, Samsung was peppered with questions from critics: “How can this device compete with such a large display?” “Does anyone need a bundled stylus?”
Those questions were of course answered when AT&T became the only carrier to release the Galaxy Note (T-Mobile’s ill-fated release doesn’t count), a launch that was immediately met with criticism from consumers who wanted their pick of litter when it came to Galaxy Note carriers. It also helped that the Galaxy Note sold millions of times around the world.
Fortunately, Samsung and the others did not let consumers down and the five largest providers – AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular and Verizon – launched the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, a device that remains on the premier Android devices on the market, even now.
The life of all good smartphones comes to an end at some point and the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is likely to be replaced this year by another Galaxy Note model that, like the Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S4 before it, is generating quite a bit of attention pre-launch.
That device of course is the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, a still unofficial, still mysterious phablet that is thought to be coming in the next few months to replace the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
Here, we take a look at the most recent and most credible rumors when it comes to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 release date and features.
Release Date
Rumors have been swirling in regards to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 announcement and its subsequent release date. So far, most signs have pointed to an arrival in September at the IFA conference in Berlin, the same conference that Samsung announced the previous Galaxy Note models, and one that falls in line with Samsung’s near-yearly cycle for its devices.
September 6th has been thrown around as a possible launch date, a launch date that should be Samsung’s Episode 2 for its Unpacked events, but a more recent rumor has unfortunately blown the release date wide open.
According to Digitimes, a hit-or-miss publication that relies on Asian supply sources for its information, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 could launch as early as July or August instead of September. Samsung launched the Galaxy Note in August before but with IFA taking place in September, it seems unlikely this time around.
Still, the publication has been accurate with its information before and with Samsung skipping trade shows for its own events, an August launch isn’t out of the question for Samsung’s new phablet.
Design
Unfortunately, while there has been a wide swath of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 rumors, the device itself still hasn’t emerged from the shadows. This is on par with a Samsung launch however as the company typically keeps a tight lid on the designs of its big name smartphones, often keeping them concealed until just before their launch event.
Those that follow along as a device moves from rumor to reality can appreciate the lengths that Samsung goes to to keep its designs a secret. In a world where leaks reveal just about everything prior to a launch, it is to be commended. That said, those hoping for a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 leak ahead of schedule are, at least at the moment, empty-handed.
