As the Samsung Galaxy Note III is all set to be introduced on Monday, a developer unit of the Samsung Galaxy Note III has leaked online. The image is not a high resolution one, but it clearly shows that the device sports corners are less rounded than the ones on the Samsung Galaxy Note II. The bezels also appear to be thinner on the new model, but again the picture’s not very clear. The pre-announcement units are handed over to various carriers and developers for testing purposes, with the device having the same internals as the final product but with different designs.
There are reports that also suggest that the South Korean manufacturers might introduce a budget edition for the Samsung Galaxy Note III. The Galaxy Note III is supposed to be the first in the series of S Pen-toting smartphones, with a budget edition for emerging markets. The Note III will have a low cost model with similar size display and features, and will pack a slightly less powerful processor and different display technology, with an 8-megapixel camera rather than a 13-megapixel camera that comes with the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Meanwhile, there are also reports that suggest that the future iterations of the Samsung Galaxy range of smartphones and tablets will come with metal (likely aluminum) cases and carbon fiber backside casings. If this is the case, then it looks like the Korean manufacturers have finally decided that its time they move beyond plastic. Reports also suggest that Samsung’s Gumi plant in Korea is currently taking part in testing and development for their Hero range of products for release in the spring of 2014.
