Samsung Galaxy Note III release pegged for September 27

With Samsung's supposed September 4 Galaxy Note III unveiling event just a week away, now we hear rumours about the expected release dates for the device in various markets.

A new report claims that the Galaxy Note III will reportedly go on sale on September 27 in the Taiwanese market, while the device will be up for pre-orders from September 16.

The news comes from the Taiwanese site ePrice which cites its sources and claims that the dates of pre-orders and launch may be changed; however the site does not expect major changes in the roll out of the device in Taiwan.

Earlier, a Samsung official had confirmed that the company will be unveiling the next-generation Galaxy Note device and the long-rumoured Galaxy Gear smart watch on September 4. There have been reports that suggested that the South Korean major may start shipping the Galaxy Note III in September itself. An earlier report had indicated the likely shipping date of the latest Note device to be from week 36, which is from September 2 to September 8.

Recently, a new set of leaked images of the alleged Galaxy Note III screen surfaced online, that suggested that the next Galaxy Note device will feature a 5.68-inch display.

Other rumoured specifications include a full-HD Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels, quad-core Snapdragon 800/ Exynos octa-core processor with 3GB of RAM. The internal storage capacity is expected to start from 32GB, instead of 16GB as has been the norm with flagship devices. It is also said to sport a 13-megapixel rear camera, a 3,200mAh battery, and run Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

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.

Samsung Galaxy Note III full specifications leaked

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.
