| Samsung Galaxy Note III to launch with 5.68-inch display, 3GB RAM, Android 4.3 Aug 12th 2013, 20:02, by Dustin Earley SamMobile, well known for providing the Internet with the best and most accurate leaks on upcoming Samsung devices, has just provided what they are claiming is a final spec sheet for the Galaxy Note III, expected to be unveiled at IFA in just under a month. According to SamMobile, the international Note III, or SM-N900, will launch with a 5.68 inch Full HD Super AMOLED (1920 x 1080) display, 1.8GHz Octa-core Exynos 5420, ARM Mali-T628 MP6, 13 megapixel OIS camera, up to 64GB of storage, a 3200 mAh battery and Android 4.3, which was confirmed by a DLNA certification posted earlier today. The N9005, the variant that will be closer to what we see here in the US, will have a different CPU (presumed to be a Snapdragon 800) and GPU and has been confirmed to have 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM. Of interesting note on storage capacities, SamMobile says most regions will not see a 64GB version of the Note III and that 32GB will be standard. On the physical dimensions, they say that the Note III will be identical in size to the Note II, despite the larger display. Samsung’s Note series of devices have proved to be quite popular around the globe; there’s little reason to believe the Note III won’t make a huge splash this fall. Still, with competition like a new Nexus phone, the Moto X, the LG G2, a new iPhone and its soon-to-be rival the HTC One Max, the Note III has a tough road ahead of it. Who are you placing your bets on to steal the show this fall?  |  | New leak shows off Sony "lens cameras" that attach to and are controlled by a smartphone Aug 12th 2013, 19:34, by Dima Aryeh Sony seems to have a new, innovative product up their sleeve. This is a leak and a rumor, but it’s pretty damn credible. The rumored devices are the DSC-QX10 and QX100, which are new products Sony will probably call “lens cameras.” With a lens, image sensor, BIONZ image processor, WiFi, NFC and an SD slot, they are fully equipped to take high quality photos. However, they lack a screen or any way to control them. They are made to attach to a smartphone. Using WiFI and/or NFC, they will connect to the phone and allow it to control the lens camera. With this fairly small accessory, you’ll be able to take awesome photos on the go using your favorite smartphone. And best of all, these accessories will work with both Android and iOS devices. 
According to this leak, there will be two models. The bigger one will contain the 20.2MP RX100 Mark II sensor, which is a very large 1-inch sensor. The other model will come with a smaller 1/2.3-inch 18MP sensor and 10x zoom lens. Those are pretty impressive sensors for phone accessories. 
This photo is a double leak, because if you look closer, the phone that is being used is actually the rumored Sony Honami. We hope that Sony will price these devices well, because these could really improve mobile photography while we wait for phones to get better sensors and lenses. We may see these devices at IFA on September 4, so stay tuned. Would you get one? And if not, tell us why!  | | Top 10 most popular Android apps from last week Aug 12th 2013, 18:20, by Steve Raycraft Every week we cover new Android apps with Fresh Meat on Wednesday, followed by Android Gaming on Thursday and Top 10 app updates on Friday.
