Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Shows Up in Benchmarks With Octa-Core Processor
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 recently appeared in an AnTuTu Benchmark score using an Exynos 4 Octa-core processor.
The chipset clocked in at 1.9GHz and the device was believed to have been running Android 4.2.2, JellyBean. The smartphone found in the benchmark is titled as SM-900 which could be a Hong Variant of the Note 3. It scored 33,082 which is a very good number.
Samsung will have to give fans something really different in order for them to upgrade from the already impressive Galaxy Note 2. The phablet does just about everything you would need and was rated as 2012's best phone by The Christian Post.
The upcoming Galaxy Note 3 also allegedly made an appearance on Samsung's official website last week revealing that there will be two different models and that the new Note will feature a 1920 x 1020 display. The phablet is expected to launch in about two months time.
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. Sony is prepping to launch the Xperia Z Ultra that will compete with Samsung's device when it finally launches. All of these companies hope to steal some of Samsung's market share in an arena that is dominated by its Note and Note 2 device.
