Samsung Galaxy Note III to reportedly ship in September, Galaxy Gear smart watch specifications leak

Samsung may start shipping its next generation Galaxy Note device from September and its rumoured smart watch from October.

Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy Note III and the Galaxy Gear smart watch at an event in Berlin on September 4. Now, a report in the Sam Mobile notes the shipping time of both the Samsung Galaxy Note III and the alleged Galaxy Gear smart watch. The site notes that its sources confirmed week 36, which is from September 2 to September 8, as the likely time when the South Korean major will start shipping its latest Note device while the Galaxy Gear smart watch would start shipping from week 40, which is from September 30 to October 6.

The site also claims that Samsung has decided to drop the 16GB storage variant from its future smartphones which means the lowest storage that will ship with the Galaxy Note III will be 32GB. While there is no official word on the reasons behind this, it could possibly be a reaction to the bad press that the Samsung Galaxy S4 received when it emerged that the 16GB Galaxy S4 has only 8.82GB of internal storage.

Another report by Sam Mobile has revealed the innards of the Galaxy Gear smart watch.

The rumoured specifications of the alleged smart watch include a 1.5GHz dual-core Samsung Exynos 4212 processor with 1GB of RAM. It will reportedly feature a 1.67-inch AMOLED display that will have a resolution of 320x320 pixels. It is likely to include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC. The leaked specifications also claim that the smart watch may include a 2-megapixel camera.

Samsung Galaxy Note III Octa-core variant headed to India: Report

We already know the launch date for Samsung's next Note entrant, the Galaxy Note III, and the leaks related to the device don't seem to stop rolling. A latest report has revealed the various variants of the device and the list of countries that'll be getting each variant.

Sam Mobile has posted the complete list of countries where the two variants of the device, the SM-N900 (3G version) powered by Samsung Exynos 5420 (Octa-Core) processor and the SM-N9005 (LTE version) powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974), will allegedly head.

Much like the company's flagship smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S4, every country will get a variant of the Galaxy Note III, based apparently on the fact that the market needs LTE capabilities or not. However, the site also notes that, "If your country gets both processor variants, it is a decision based on the marketing plan of Samsung. Which means if there are LTE networks in your country, Samsung will start with the LTE variant (Snapdragon 800) first."

The leaked country list also includes India with the country said to get the Octa-core SM-N900 (3G version) of the Samsung Galaxy Note II successor as expected.

The site also claims that there will be a third version, SM-N9002 which will be powered by Samsung Exynos 5420 (Octa-Core) processor and that will be a dual-SIM device. This device will apparently be only for the China market.

Earlier, specifications of the Galaxy Note III were revealed. The leaked specifications of the device include a 5.68-inch full-HD Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels. It is said to come with 3GB of RAM. The Galaxy Note III will reportedly have identical dimensions as its predecessor even though its sports a slightly larger display.

The one thing that was missing from the earlier leaked specifications was the GPU, and now we know that as well.

According to Sam Mobile, the SM-N900 will be backed by an ARM Mali-T628 MP6 GPU, the SM-N9005 will be backed by an Adreno 330 GPU while the dual-SIM variant will be powered by ARM Mali-T628 MP6 GPU.

The rumours surrounding Samsung's next generation Galaxy Note phablet have been floating for a long time and it seems that there is no end to the leaks related to the device. A new rumour has revealed the full innards of the device.

SamMobile has posted a list of specifications of the alleged Galaxy Note III. The site claims that it received the information from one of its trusted sources. It's worth noting that the site has a pretty good record for Samsung related rumours in the past.

The Galaxy Note III will be company's second flagship phone after the Samsung Galaxy S4 that the company unveiled in the first quarter. According to the site, the Galaxy Note III will come in two variants - SM-N900 and SM-N9005. The Galaxy S4 was released in two variants, the GT-I9500 that was launched in Asia, Africa and the Middle East while the GT-I9505 was rolled out in Europe and North America.

The leaked specifications of the Galaxy Note III include a 5.68-inch full-HD Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels. The device is said to be powered by a 1.8GHz Octa-core Exynos 5420 processor coupled with 3GB of RAM. The Galaxy Note III variant SM-N900 is likely to boast an ARM Mali-T628 MP6 GPU but for SM-N9005 variant the GPU is unconfirmed, notes the site. The Galaxy Note III will have identical dimensions as its predecessor Samsung Galaxy Note II in terms of phablet's size even though its sports slightly larger display, reports the site.

Galaxy Note III will reportedly come with a 13-megapixel rear camera with Optical Image Stabilisation. The site further claims that the Galaxy Note III will come in three storage variants - 16/32/64GB with microSD card support. The device is said to run Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and will include a 3200mAh battery.

Samsung has already sent officially invitations for an event scheduled on September 4 in Berlin, where the South Korean major is expected to finally unveil the Galaxy Note III.

Samsung may unveil Galaxy Note III, smart watch on September 4: Report

Samsung may unveil the next generation Galaxy Note device and its rumoured smart watch at an event on September 4.

A report in The Korean Media, first picked up by Techkiddy notes that Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Note III on September 4 at Berlin. That is two days before the IFA conference kicks off in Berlin, Germany, the event where the original Galaxy Note and its successor have been unveiled in past years.

According to the original report, Samsung will also use the event to unveil its wearable computing device - most likely a smart watch - giving it a head start over arch rival Apple, which is widely tipped to unveil its iWatch soon. Sony recently unveiled SmartWatch 2, a wearable companion for Android devices.

There's no fresh information in terms of specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Note III, or the smart watch. As per earlier reports, Galaxy Note III will come with a 5.7-inch full-HD AMOLED display. It will reportedly be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor alongside 3GB of RAM and run on Android 4.3, the latest iteration of Google's operating system. In terms of camera, Samsung's latest phablet is expected to sport a 13-megapixel rear shooter.

Samsung recently unveiled the Exynos 5420 Octa processor, so the Galaxy Note III may be powered by Samsung's own processor in some markets, and the Qualcomm chip in others, similar to the strategy it followed with the Galaxy S4.
