Samsung Galaxy Note 3 to launch on 4 September
Baku, August 6 (AZERTAC). The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will launch on 4 September, and will replicace the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. We've rounded up the Galaxy Note 3's UK release date, price and specification. See Samsung Galaxy Note 3 leaked in photo with specs.
Unusually for an upcoming Samsung Galaxy smartphone we know for a fact that the Note 3 exists even before Samsung's inevitably glitzy launch. That's because of two semi-official 'leaks' in which Samsung whetted the world's appetite for the Galaxy Note 3.
In a report from our 'you-couldn't-make-it-up' correspondent, in early June Samsung Kazakhstan accidentally revealed the Galaxy Note 3 on its official website alongside the Galaxy S4 Zoom and Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 tablet. Just how accidental is such an accident I'll leave to your judgment. Not least because in May Samsung executive JK Shin confirmed that the Galaxy Note 3 was in the works, and that it will feature a non-flexible 5.9-inch OLED display.
Shin also suggested that the Note 3 will be announced at this year's IFA tradeshow, which runs from September 6 to September 11 in Berlin, Germany. Stay tuned to PC Advisor for live coverage of the launch and the only Galaxy Note 3 news and reviews you need.
Galaxy Note 3 UK release date
Our best guess for the Galaxy Note 3 launch date is September 4, the first of the press preview days before IFA kicks off on September 6.
It's unlikely that the Note 3 will be available immediately, however. If it does launch at IFA expect to see the Galaxy Note 3 in UK stores for October. Samsung will certainly want to make the most of the pre-Christmas buying advice, and in the past this is the cycle it has followed with products announced at IFA. Not to mention trying to compete with the launch of Apple's next iPhone.
It turns out we were bang on the money as Samsung has sent out invitations to its Unpacked 2013 Episode 2 event which will be held on September 4. The invite doesn't say the Galaxy Note 3 will be unveiled but putting "Note The Date" is about as close as Samsung can get to confirming it.
