The Galaxy Note 3 made an appearance on Samsung's official website last week.
Two different models showed up on the site and the profiles reveal that the Note will feature a 1920x1020 display. The phablet is expected to launch in about two months time. The device's appearance on the site can be viewed here.
Industry analysts recently weighed in on the device confirming its screen size and release date. The Galaxy Note 3 will be an LTE-A handset. The Galaxy S4 was the company's first LTE-A device which is currently available in South Korea.
LG is also expected to introduce a larger phablet-like device sometime this year that is LTE-A with the Optimus G2. This handset will come with a 5.5-inch display and launches this August. Apple might release an LTE-A device with its next-generation iPhone that is expected to debut sometime this fall.
The handset could launch in 4 different versions, according to another report from Korean media outlet ETNews.
The company will release a top-of-the-line limited version built with high quality materials that will also come with a 13-megapixel camera and one of Samsung's unbreakable AMOLED displays.
The report also states that Samsung will launch a second variant with a regular AMOLED display, a third with an LCD display, and a final version with an 8-megapixel camera over the 13-megapixel point and shooter.
