The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will run Android 4.3, JellyBean.

The device was recently spotted on an AnTuTu Benchmark chart, and based on the model number which is GT-N7200, it is believed to be the sequel to the Galaxy Note 2 that's model number is GT-N7100.

The Galaxy Note 3 actually scored lower than the Galaxy S4 in this Benchmark. The Galaxy Note line normally features overclocked chipsets in comparison to the Galaxy S line. The finished Galaxy Note 3 should be clocked about 1.6GHz in terms of processing power.

A previous report points to the new phablet coming with an 8-core Mali 450 GPU which will work well for graphic-intensive activities such as mobile gaming. The device will also pack Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa processor, making it even more powerful. Other rumored specs include 3GB RAM, a 6-inch full HD display, and a 13-megapixel camera.

The body on the Galaxy Note 3 will feature extremely thin bezels which will basically be non-existent thanks to the enlarged display. The device currently has the potential to outshine Samsung's flagship Galaxy S4 smartphone that launched recently.

A picture of what is believed to be the Galaxy Note 3 leaked onto the internet last month.

The image was leaked by a site known as MyDrives. It also released a brief report on the device's specifications that match up perfectly with this new report.

Samsung is also expected to improved the exterior design on the Galaxy S3.

The company's smartphones, such as the Galaxy S3 and previous Note models, have been criticized in the past for an unimpressive look and feel. Samsung normally uses a plastic frame, while other companies such as Apple and HTC incorporate more durable materials into their devices.
