A September 4 Samsung Galaxy Note III announcement date is not at all impossible, given the fact that previous iterations were all introduced at the August/September IFA, in Berlin. We are expecting the South Koreans to unveil the next Note phablet at the same trade show, this year. According to this latest report from Korea, we will not only see the new Samsung Galaxy Note III on September 4 -- two days before the official start of IFA 2013 -- but the manufacturer is also planning on unveiling a smartwatch on the same day. There were lots of leaks, reports, and rumors, surrounding the ...

Watch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about Android 4.3, some hidden features discovered, and we also walk you through how to get it early on your Nexus device. The Samsung Galaxy Note III is next as it seems that Samsung is still not sure of what screen size they'll provide on it. The Sony Honami is next as it now gets compared to the Xperia Z and they do seem very much a like. Steve Ballmer takes the stage next as he states his disappointment over the Surface RT and the lack of sales of Windows 8. We end today's show talking about the Google Nexus 7 hitting retail stores a couple of ...

As with LG's G2, the Samsung Galaxy Note III does a lousy job at hiding from the headlines (and from the camera). Of course, as we said with the occasion of the previous leak, these images might be the real deal, or they might have nothing in common with what we'll see at IFA; Samsung is known to conceal its products pretty well. On that note, the device above is claimed to be the Galaxy Note II follow-up. Furthermore, a recent Samsung Galaxy S III note leak report claims to have knowledge from Samsung insiders that the device will have a 5.7-inch screen, opposed to previous rumors of 5.99 ...

For some reason, the idea of giving smartphones fingerprint scanners has been all over rumors of upcoming hardware, and the bulk of that focus has been directed towards Apple and Samsung: a fingerprint scanner has long followed rumors of the iPhone 5S, and we saw some leaked software resources from Samsung back in May that sure seemed to imply that it was working to adopt the same technology. Recently, it's been sounding like all this fingerprint enthusiasm might have hit a snag, upon reports arriving that Apple was running into production issues that might ultimately impact handset ...

Last week we've seen a set of purported Samsung Galaxy Note III pictures but they weren't quite telling. Today, on that exact same note, we're seeing new Samsung Galaxy Note III alleged pictures, this time, while not very telling, nonetheless, better than the previous ones. First of all, this is claimed to be a prototype of the Note III. As we know pretty well, Samsung is doing a good job at concealing the actual design and aspect of its phones (from different designs to snap-on cases). That being said, the product which will be hopefully unveiled at IFA 2013 might not look like the one ...

Samsung may still seem to be working on new versions of the Galaxy S 4, but when we're talking about what's next for its Android lineup, nothing's more anticipated than the Galaxy Note III. There have been a lot of rumors about what sort of hardware we might hope to expect, and we might very well start getting some answers next week when Samsung details what it's up to with this just-announced Exynos 5 Octa refresh. One thing we haven't had yet is a good look at a believable Note III candidate – sure, there have been a lot of attempts, but nothing really convincing. Today we get to see ...

Yesterday brought us an interesting new rumor about Samsung's Galaxy Note III, suggesting that the phablet might be available in a wide variety of hardware configurations – possibly with four key configurations of varying body materials, display types, and camera choices. Samsung's no stranger to releasing multiple versions of one device, so the idea didn't seem so far-fetched. Today we might already have some support for the idea, upon the discovery of a whole bunch of Galaxy Note III model numbers. This whole thing got started by the apparent discovery of some User Agent Profiles on ...

Last month, we heard a rumor about Samsung's expected Galaxy Note III, claiming that the phone might be released with an LCD display, alongside a version of the Note III using one of Samsung's favorite AMOLED panels. The idea wasn't so crazy, as we're well used to seeing Samsung create multiple hardware variants for the same device. This week we see rumors along this line take things a little further, with claims that the phone could arrive in up to for different configurations. Beyond just display types, this report claims that we'll also see changes made to the phablet's camera and its ...
