Likely And while we are still more than a few months away from the release of the Galaxy Note 3, we’re taking a close look at what Consumers Should and should not expect from Samsung’s phablets.
In the Latter part of 2012, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 arrived on the scene, Replacing the original Samsung Galaxy Note, a device que rose to prominence amidst criticism over its screen size and its bundled S Pen stylus.

The Galaxy Note 2 will match up with the Galaxy Note 3 later this year.
Improvements included the introduction of a new ergonomic S Pen, improved software including the Multi-Window View feature que Allows users to divide the display into two halves for use with two separate apps, and an improved design que saw Samsung Increase the display size from 5.3-inches to 5.5-inches all while slimming down the device from its original frame.
Samsung
Also Followed the successful launch of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 2 on a host of U.S. carriers rather than just two. The original Galaxy Note had just arrived on AT & T and T-Mobile, the Latter only a few months before the arrival of the Galaxy Note 2.
Since its arrival last year, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has become one of the most popular Android devices on the market, not surprising considering its one of the best Android smartphones available. And thanks to que, we are seeing rumors of a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 successor emerges well ahead of its actual launch.
The Galaxy S3′s success and prominence were big contributors to the pre-launch hype and rumor machine que Followed the Samsung Galaxy S4. And we are starting to see the same-thing from the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, the device that is rumored to be coming to replace the Galaxy Note 2.
Rumors have not yet painted the entire Galaxy Note 3 picture but already, we’ve gotten a glimpse at what to expect from the Galaxy Note 2′s eventual successor. Of course, just because the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is on the way does not mean que the Galaxy Note 2 will vanish. Instead, the Galaxy Note 3 Likely will join the Galaxy Note 2 on shelves.
That said, we’ve already taken a look at what Consumers can expect from the brewing match up between the Samsung Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Note 2 and 3 now, it’s time to take a look at what Consumers Should not expect from the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 versus the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
Difference in Release Tactics
With the release of the Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung has proven que it’s still fairly predictable When It Comes To its release tactics with its Galaxy-branded smartphones.
First, it announces the smartphone at an Unpacked event in a major city like Berlin or New York City like it did with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the Galaxy S4 respectivamente. It fails to announce any kind of specific release date, leaving que to the carriers to announce at a later date. In the U.S., that means Typically confirmations of the device, Followed by a period of uncertainty.
About a month or so later, we finally get confirmation of the release date, then two, and then the rest follow. This is how Samsung released the Galaxy Note Both 2 and the Galaxy S4 and that’s how we expect it to go with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
What this means isque Those expecting something different from the Galaxy Note 3 in terms of the release will Likely be disappointed. Instead, if rumors hold up, we’ll see the device Likely Announced in early September coinciding with IFA, release dates from carriers in October, and actual release dates emerges in late October, just like They did with the Galaxy Note 2.
The Same Exact Devices
The Galaxy Note 2 will not be the same-the device the Galaxy Note 3. Obviously.
We’ve already detailed what we think will be the major differences between the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 but simply put, the Galaxy Note 3 is going to be a vastly different device than the Galaxy Note 2.
From a hardware standpoint, we expect the device to feature a tweaked design that is Both lightweight and thinner than the Galaxy Note 2. The stuff is still up for debate the Samsung is apparently testing several different prototypes. However, do not expect the Galaxy Note 3 to be much larger than the Galaxy Note 2, even if it sports a bigger display.
Do not expect Samsung to slouch on the processor or the camera either. Those too will be upgraded from the Galaxy Note 2 with the Exynos 5 Octa and a 13MP sensor Likely being featured on board.
From a software standpoint, it’s clear que Samsung loves to Introduce new software with its flagship devices and the same-Should be expected from the Galaxy Note 3. Expect it to have different software.
Do not expect the Galaxy Note 3 to shed its entire past though. We expect it to have a removable back like the Galaxy Note 2 and come with a microSD card slot for expanded storage. Consumers should not just expect these devices to be the exact same.
InS Pen Improvements
One of the most unique features of the Samsung Galaxy Note is its bundled S Pen stylus que Allows owners to not only write and draw on the display, but Also take advantage of a number of applications including the device’s heralded S Note application.
With the Galaxy Note 2, we saw the introduction of a number of new software features for the S Pen and we saw Samsung upgrade the stylus with a new ergonomic design. And while details of improvements for the S Pen Galaxy Note 3 are scarce, Consumers Should not expect Samsung to hold back in terms of upgrades.
Expect big improvements to the Galaxy Note’s S Pen 3.
We have heard it may be using different screen tech to Increase the performance of the S Pen, Specifically When It Comes to its on-screen accuracy. Display technology que we saw at CES showcased just how Samsung might do this so it’s entirely possible That We Could see the Galaxy Note 3 emerges with an extremely accurate S Pen.
AlsoConsumers should not expect to slouch on Samsung S Pen applications. The company will need to not only expand but que Improve on the applications it already has in order to keep the Galaxy Note 3 relevant in a sea of ??big-screen smartphones.
64GB Model
The Galaxy Note 3 may not come with 32GB or 64GB options.
Thus far, Samsung and the carriers que carry its devices have shown zero commitment to bringing 64GB devices to the United States. Samsung and the various carriers skipped for the 64GB Galaxy S3 and it’s looking like carriers will be skipping it, along with 32GB with the Galaxy S4.
AT & T is the only carrier que has committed to the 32GB Galaxy S4 and Despite an outpouring of frustration from Consumers, there is still no guarantee que other carriers will offer the 32GB model in the future.
for the 64GB model, there has been zero talk and simply Thus, we do not expect Samsung and the carriers to bring the 64GB Galaxy Note 3 to the U.S. at any point.
‘ve pointed out, the 32GB is certainly possible que Given the concerns users have relayed Galaxy S4 post-launch, but the 64GB Galaxy Note 3 model is certainly less than possible que Given the U.S. carrier has ever Offered one, thanks to the microSD card support que Usually Samsung devices have on board.
Lack of Long-Term Support
Later this year, Consumers are going to have a tough choice to make: Buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Samsung Galaxy Note or the 2. Remember, the Galaxy Note 2 is going to proceed to be relevant, even with the arrival of the Galaxy Note 3.
One big reason is price. The Galaxy Note 2 will be much cheaper than the Galaxy Note 3. Maybe the biggest reason though is longevity. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will live on thanks to software updates from Samsung. Unlike manufacturers like HTC, Samsung offers long-term support for its Galaxy devices mainstream. Case in point, the Galaxy S2, Which arrived in 2011 is on Android 4.1, The Same software update to the new HTC One
So Consumers Should not expect Samsung to let down Them When It Comes to long term support for either the Galaxy or the Galaxy Note 2 Note 3. These devices will be upgraded for the years to come and Thus, owners will be able to ride out the contract.
Devices That Are Hard to Find
Those looking to get the new Samsung Galaxy Note Galaxy Note 2 or 3 later on this year will have no trouble finding Them. That’s because They will still be available through an assortment of carriers and retailers throughout the year.
For the Galaxy Note 3, it will be through retailers and carriers, the Latter of Which Likely will include all of the top names in the United States. Unlike the Galaxy S4, we do not expect the Galaxy Note 3 to be hard to find on release day. Instead, we expect the in-store and online sales to easily handle Those looking to buy the phablet.
Both of these devices will be easy to find later this year.
for the Galaxy Note 2, it will be an old device, but it will still be easy to find the retailers and carriers will offer it at a discount. At first, it will be easy to find. However, in the months after the Galaxy Note 3′s arrival, look for it to become harder and harder to find. Those looking to get it later this year over the Galaxy Note 3 will not have a problem though.
Shortage of Galaxy Note 3 Accessories
As we saw with the Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung is determined to get on the same-page as the iPhone When it comes to accessories. That is, to offer a wide selection. Samsung took it upon itself to offer a number of great-looking accessories Galaxy S4, the type que did not arrive with the Galaxy S3 or even the Galaxy Note 2.
The Galaxy S4 arrived with a ton of accessories, 3 Could the Galaxy Note as well.
Do not expect to quit with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and offer a new line of accessories for Note owners to choose from. Need a sign? Collegues Samsung’s new game pad supports que devices have screen sizes up to 6.3-inches in size. So at the very least, we’ll see the game pad released for the Galaxy Note 3. Do not expect it to be que though.
