| Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo with S Pen |
Like so many non-flagship devices, Samsung has quietly announced the Galaxy Note 3 Neo, which has been the star of numerous leaks and rumors in the past few weeks, on its official blog. As we’ve seen from leaked press photos, the Galaxy Note 3 Neo offers the specs of the Galaxy Note II with a design that’s reminiscent of the Galaxy Note 3 (including the faux leather back.)
The phablet is built around a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display of 720p (1280×720) resolution; it’s just a tad lighter than the Note 3 at 163g, but is almost similar in dimensions at 148 x 76.9 x 8.6 mm (the Note 3 is 151.2 x 79.2 x 8.3 mm, 168g.)
The Galaxy Note 3 Neo is powered by Samsung’s first hexa-core LTE Exynos processor for the non-LTE model, running off dual 1.7GHz cores for intensive tasks and four 1.3GHz cores for menial tasks. There’s 2GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel rear camera, 2-megapixel front-facing camera, 16GB of internal storage expandable via microSD slot (up to 64 GB), and a 3,100 mAh battery to keep things up and running.
Connectivity is as full-featured as one would expect, with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, GPS with GLONASS, HSPA+ 42 mbps, LTE, and NFC. On the software side of things, the Galaxy Note 3 Neo runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. The handset comes with Samsung’s S Pen stylus, and software features like Air Command Action Memo, Scrapbook, Screen Write, S Finder, Pen Window, S Note, Multi Window, new Easy Clip, and Direct Pen Input (handwriting support), in addition to all the various features we’ve seen on the Galaxy Note 3.
The Galaxy Note 3 Neo will be offered in black, white and green colors, and while the press release doesn’t mention it, accessories such as a S-View Flip Cover, Wallet cover, and a battery holder will be made available separately. Samsung hasn’t announced the price yet, but recent leaks suggest we’re looking at a price as high as EUR 599 in some European nations, though the final price will most likely be considerably lower than the Galaxy Note 3′s launch price.
