Samsung isn’t a company that has been shy in terms of dropping new models and it looks like they may be prepping four somewhat unique variants of the Galaxy Note III. This of course should be considered rumor until we hear something direct from Samsung, however for now the details that we are seeing are coming by way of the Korean language ETNews.
According to the report, Samsung will be releasing four models of the Galaxy Note III — each with some different specs. Basically, it looks like Samsung will be chasing various price points. The handsets haven’t been named, other than being referred to as another Galaxy Note III variant, however it looks like the top-end model will be made of higher quality materials with an unbreakable AMOLED display.
That same model also looks like it will be a limited edition run and feature a 13 megapixel rear-facing camera. Looking down the line and the remaining three models appear to be coming with the familiar plastic design that we have seen on countless other Samsung products. The second model (from the top) is expected to arrive with a regular AMOLED display and a 13 megapixel rear-facing camera.
The third and fourth models will both have an LCD display with the bottom of the line featuring an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera and the model sitting just above having a 13 megapixel rear-facing camera. Otherwise, it is expected the other specs such as the display size, processor, RAM and storage options will remain the same across the line. And of course, they are all expected to arrive running the latest versions of Android and TouchWiz.
Looking back towards some of the other recent Galaxy Note III related rumors and it appears as if we are going to see a handset with a 5.7-inch display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 (or Exynos 5 Octa) processor and 3GB of RAM. But again, while a hot topic at the moment, these details are all in the rumor category at the moment. Finally, Samsung is expected to bring the official announcement during IFA which takes place in September.

Think you got it all wrong here. Another reputable site just reported that the design is not final yet and Samsung is still deciding on what display tech etc to use, and it is said that that there are 4 prototypes in the final testing phase.
Got the info all wrong it seems….
That’s how money works in the financial world of the mobile tech industry, what they are doing if true makes sense. 1 model isn’t going to sell alone in consecutive quarters in this day and age (not like how it was 3 years ago) especially one at this size for the average consumer, hence why providing 4 differing models generates more income, so we have a limited edition premium edition with a flexible AMOLED screen, one with premium materials without the flexible screen but still with AMOLED and two lower end more affordable Note 3’s with cheaper builds and LCD screens being used. What the korean media/EVLeaks have failed to pick up on is that there are actually 2 sizes for the note 3 with differing RAM for each one, 5.7 inches is the more affordable model with a standard SD 800 and 2GB of RAM with LCD screens, one with a 13 mp Camera and the other 8 mp. The high end non flexible display is likely to be sized between 6-6.3 inches with the rumoured 3GB of RAM with support for LTE-A. It appears that EVleaks got the information right for one of the Note 3’s screen sizes.
All in all I believe I’m going to be extremely pleased with the Note III and if it has all the bells and whistles I’ve been waiting for that is a huge bonus. 🙂 I love Samsung…
