In case you need more rumors to kick your week off, here's an alleged Samsung Galaxy Note III launch date tip: September 4. On one hand, this date seems to fall nicely in place with IFA 2013, and IFA is the place where Samsung usually unveils the Note phablet. On the other hand, we here at Pocketnow, speculated about the fact that, since the Galaxy S, and S II were MWC phones, and the S III got its own event, Samsung might do the same with the Note. The original Note and Note II were IFA phablets, the Note III might get a separate event. However, today's report seems to have it on good ...

Samsung announced the Note II at last year's IFA in Berlin and is expected to unveil the Note III at the same show in September. However, if the Galaxy S III is any indication (the first Galaxy S unveiled outside of MWC), the Note III might get a separate event, but that's still up for debate. According to a recent report from Korea, the Samsung Galaxy Note III might arrive with an LCD screen. We're heavily relying on automated translation (so there might be a language barrier here), but the report claims that the Note III will also be available with the classic S-AMOLED option. Market ...

We've already seen imagery leak of what's supposed to be Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Note III, but it's been notoriously difficult to gauge the legitimacy of some of these finds; earlier this month, some potential pics surfaced, but growing suspicion suggested they might be more like Galaxy Mega 6.3 development hardware, instead. Today, we've got a new contender, but will it finally instill us with faith that we're looking at the real deal? We're not so sure. First up, check out that crazy-thin bezel – that looks like it could even best the GS4. But we're not going to let a tiny bezel ...

Yesterday, we brought you some images of a device purporting to be the in-development Galaxy Note III, with what looked like a big six-inch screen. Today, that's joined by a new picture, apparently showing the Note III next to a couple other phones. No soon has it hit the scene, though, that we're hearing claims that it's a fake (or at least being misrepresented) and what we're really looking at is the Galaxy Mega 6.3. Does that theory hold up to scrutiny? GSM Arena prepared the lovely analysis of the new image above, using known measurements of that Nokia handset to identify the screen ...

Last we heard the Samsung Galaxy Note III was claimed to have the same Galaxy S 4-esque design. Today, Samsung Galaxy Note III camera rumors popped up. According to the report, the phone maker is trying to bring some really neat features to the Note II follow-up. As usual, your usual skeptical hat is needed. A "versatile camera module" is going to allegedly be featured on the Galaxy Note III. Anti-shake technology and shutters are mentioned as the South Korean manufacturer is looking to introduce optical-image-stabilization (OIS) features. Another, even more interesting part of the report, ...

At Pocketnow, we have a responsibility to try the new, the fresh, and the weird - and that latter swamp is exactly the one Managing Editor Anton D. Nagy waded into with his recent review of the ASUS Fonepad - the tablet with an earpiece. Or the phone with a tablet screen. Whatever you want to call it, we've covered it - and Tony has some thoughts about using a seven-inch smartphone in this edition of one of your favorite tech podcasts. After we clear the giant-phone convo, we've got more to say. Lots more. And, doubtless to the relief of thousands, very little of it involves Samsung's ...

Just like Samsung's upcoming tablet designs, the last few months have been rife with rumors of the next Galaxy Note phablet. While we had heard plenty, that all got tossed a curve ball last month when Samsung announced its new Galaxy Mega models; were these the giants that some of those Note III rumors had actually been discussing? With those now public, we're back on the trail of the Note III, with new rumors about specs and a number of prototype designs. Now, there's one big caveat to make about these specs: the source which provided them also had a picture purporting to show off the new ...

What do we know about the Galaxy Note III? We've heard about some potential screen sizes (though we're now second-guessing that info upon learning about some other big non-Note Galaxy models), and we've looked into what the choices Samsung made with the Galaxy S 4 might tell us about its plans for the Note III. Now a new rumor is suggesting the Note III could debut some new Samsung camera software. Supposedly, The Note III will be used by Samsung to launch its "S Orb" software, the company's take on Google's Photo Sphere. We're hard-pressed to come up for a reason why Samsung feels ...

After seeing the looks and specs of the Samsung Galaxy S 4 we made a bold prediction regarding the Samsung Galaxy Note III in our Pocketnow Live show: since the S 4 looks almost identical to the S III, we're betting Samsung will utilize these design guidelines to make the Note III look almost identical to the Note II (which is following the outer aspect of the S III). History also teaches us that the Note usually comes with a spec-bump from that year's S-Phone but what exactly does Samsung have in mind, or whether they'll prove us right or wrong, is yet unknown... to us. However, some ...
