Feb 01, 2014Samsung has finally announced the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo and an LTE version called the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo LTE+. Offering the same artificial leather backside and outer look and feel as the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, the Note 3 Neo smartphones are designed for the more affordable and as such also cuts down on certain tech specs. The most notable is the fact that both versions are now using hexa-core processors based on a Samsung Exynos chipset. This chipset follows the big.LITTLE ARM architecture with a dual-core 1.7GHz A15 processor for the main processing and a 1.3GHZ quad-core A7 set for when the smartphone is running on lower power. The non-LTE version will offer a slightly higher-clocked set of quad-core processors going at 1.6GHz. Other tech specs and features include
- 5.5-inch AMOLED display at 720 x 1280 pixel resolution
- 2GB RAM
- 16GB storage + microSD
- Samsung S Pen stylus support
- WiFi a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4 LE, NFC, IR blaster
- 8MP rear camera
- 3100 mAh battery

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo is rumoured to be on pre-order soon for Belgium. This has resulted in a number of better looking pictures along with pricing. Unfortunately, the Note 3 Neo isn't as affordable as we thought it would be at €599 (RM2731). The pics show that the overall design is more or less the same, right down to the artificial leather backside. Tech specs still haven't been confirmed but most estimates have them include an 8MP camera, 5.55-inch 720p Super AMOLED display, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, LTE and microSD support, Android 4.3 and a 3100 mAh battery. It should get it's officialy launch in March 2014 with the official announcement expected in February at the MWC expo. If it is already on pre-order in Belgium, we should see it get to Malaysia soon.

A new Samsung Galaxy device recently appeared in a Zauba listing. Zauba is an Indian website which tracks Indian exports and imports, a bit like the SIRIM database here in Malaysia. Back to the Zauba listing, the mystery Samsung Galaxy device is listed as Samsung GT-I9405 and has tech specs which include a 5.5-inch display and single SIM capabilities. The device is listed for testing and evaluation. So far, it doesn't seem to be the Samsung Galaxy S5 because the model numbering is below that of the Samsung Galaxy S4 which is GT-I9500 and it doesn't match with the Galaxy Note series either as Note numbering goes from N7100, N9000 and so forth. It isn't the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo either as the matching SM-N7500 / SM-N7505 model number has already appeared in Zauba. The value pricing of the listing is a big hint though as 32746 Indian Rupees (RM1721) places the device squarely in the mid-range. Check out the listing in the article for yourself but do stay tuned for more updates.
