The Korea Times has an exclusive interview with Lee Young-hee, executive vice president of Samsung’s mobile business. Lee confirmed that a Galaxy Note III will make its international debut at IFA 2013. She declined to comment about specific details about the new phablet — a term devised by the company that means a combination of smartphone and tablet.
“Samsung opened a new smart mobile device category back in 2011 with the introduction of the first Galaxy Note. Since then, smartphones with large screens have been a mainstream trend. As the creator of this category, we will introduce our customers to enhanced key features on our Galaxy Note devices.”
According to Sam Mobile, “[The Galaxy Note III will have] a 5.68-inch Full HD Super AMOLED (1920 x 1080) display, a quad-core Snapdragon 800 / octa-core Exynos processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of minimum built-in storage and a microSD slot, 13-megapixel rear camera, a 3,200mAh battery, and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.”
