Samsung Galaxy Note III confirmed with quad and 8-core models
Aug 15th 2013, 21:06, by Cory Gunther

By now the amount of rumors and speculation have been by the truckloads, but we’re hearing a few more “confirmed” details surrounding the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note III. Previous reports and benchmarks revealed Qualcomm’s quad-core would be under the hood, but today SamMobile has confirmed it will indeed be the 2.3 GHz Snapdragon 800, along with 3GB of RAM. This phone will be a beast.

The Samsung Galaxy Note III will be revealed on September 4th, and by that point we’ll probably know everything already, except for what it looks like. Multiple leaks have tried to state it will look very similar to last years model, but we won’t know until Samsung shows it off up on stage.

What we do know though, is the specs. Many were confirmed last week, along with leaks for over a month. Those being a 5.68-inch 1080p full HD display being powered by Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor. Regions with 4G LTE will get Qualcomm’s model, and most 3G areas will rock Samsung’s own Exynos 5 Octa 8-core processor instead. They’ll both get 3GB of RAM, and all regions will have 16/32/64GB storage options.

The Samsung SM-N900 will be the 8-core 3G variant, while the SM-N9005 will rock 4G LTE support thanks to Qualcomm’s 2.3 GHz Snapdragon 800 processor under the hood. This will also ensure the same device will probably work with most US carriers on LTE, all under the same chassis. Samsung’s 8-core chip supports US and other LTE bands, but likely this is due to supply and demand, and Qualcomm can meet the numbers.

Everything else remains the same, and we’ll just have to wait until early next month to learn anything in addition to what’s leaked thus far. Hit the source link below for a full list by region of what model is headed where.

Meizu MX3 announcement expected in early September
Aug 15th 2013, 20:47, by Robert Nelson

We had seen some specs leak in regards to the Meizu MX3 smartphone a few months earlier. That spec leak also included some images of both the front and rear of the device, but there was still one important aspect that was missing — an official announcement from Meizu. Well, it looks like that will be happening early next month.

Details coming of out China are showing an event invitation dated for September 2nd. Meizu hasn’t specified the exact device they are planning to announce, however looking to previous patterns and we have already seen the company launch the MX1 and MX2. The Meizu MX2 went on sale in China last year so natural patterns seem to call for the MX3.

That brings the other pattern — the Meizu MX3 will likely never see a widespread global release and will likely be announced only for those in China. That being said, the handset seems like it will bring a nice mix of specs and design. Earlier images of the handset can be seen here in the post.

Otherwise, the Meizu MX3 is expected to arrive with a 5.1-inch Full HD display and powered by a Samsung Exynos 5 Octa processor with 2GB of RAM. The handset should also have options for 32GB, 64GB or 128GB of internal storage along with a 13 megapixel rear-facing camera. The MX3 will be running Flyme 3.0, which is a customized version of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Aside from those specs, those earlier images revealed the measurements which are shown as being 2.79 x 5.51 x 0.31-inches.

The handset is also expected to have an illuminated LED home button. These images show the home button being as such, however this is one part of the rumors that have gone back and forth. Anyway, while this is one handset that we would like to see released worldwide, in the end this September announcement will likely mean nothing more than an end to the rumors. Bottom line, this is a handset that most outside of China will never get a chance to see or play with.
