Samsung Galaxy Note III sketch leak tips Xenon flash and camera button Jul 18th 2013, 14:16, by Robert Nelson We have certainly seen plenty of Galaxy Note III related leaks and as of today it looks like another has arrived. This latest is offering a look at what the handset may look like. There is also a little bit of talk about the camera. Specifically, this leak is suggesting the Note III will have a 13 megapixel camera with Xenon flash. There was also mention of the phablet having a dedicated camera button. If nothing else, the combination of the camera button and Xenon flash makes it seem like Samsung is putting more focus towards using the handset as a camera. That aside, the other part of this leak are the sketches. These have come by way of the Dutch language SIM Only Radar site who mention they received these two sketches by way of an unnamed tipster. The sketches are said to have come by way of the official user manual for the Samsung SM-N900 — a device that has come to be known as the Galaxy Note III. You can get a look at those sketches here in the post, but it is important to remember that these are leaked and as such — they are firmly in the rumor category at the moment. With that reminder out of the way, the design does match a style that one would expect from the Note III. Otherwise, Samsung is also expected to ship the Galaxy Note III with a 5.7-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display — a bit previously spotted in a UAProf filing. Other still rumored specs include 3GB of RAM and either an Exynos octa-core or Snapdragon 800 processor. It is believed that the Galaxy Note III will arrive in a few models and both processors will be used. Other talk of the different models suggest there may be one with a nicer exterior build and a lower-end model with an 8 megapixel camera. Aside from the talk of specs, Samsung is expected to make this all official in September during IFA 2013.

That event is scheduled for July 24th and speculation is pointing towards an official unveiling of Android 4.3 and the Nexus 7 2. We have seen plenty of rumor and speculation about both items recently, however it looks like the former has been leaked. Yes, Android 4.3 has leaked and the build is available for the Nexus 4. This leak seems to have come by way of Jeff Williams who recently made a purchase on Craigslist. It seems a Google employee was selling their personal Nexus 4 and that device just happened to be running a non-public version of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Of course, that lead to a system dump and at this time the file can be found in a forum thread on the xda-developers site and on MEGA. That said, there are some catches. To begin with, the file that is being shared is not flashable. Instead it is being shared as a TWRP backup file. Basically that means you will need to have the custom recovery installed. Assuming that is already taken care of it is just a matter of loading the file on your memory card and doing a restore. Another point worth mentioning on that original file is the lack of the radio and bootloader. Of course, as we often see with leaks like this — ROMs arrive quickly. That being the case xda-developers forum member gmillz has put together a flashable ROM. That bring the question as to whether it should be installed. This ROM was released alongside a 2 minute and 26 second video that offers a brief look at what can be expected. The changes look to be at a minimum, however without an official changelog coming from Google we suspect a little time will be needed to make all the little discoveries. Otherwise, given this is a quickly put together ROM and given the bit about us expecting Android 4.3 to make an official debut next week, it may be easier (and safer) to simply wait.
