Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Specs: Device Rumored to Have 3GB of RAM

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will be a more powerful device with 3GB of RAM following the pattern of one additional gig per model since the first Note.

Hankyung (Korean publication), made the initial report and also says that the Galaxy Note 3 will include the Exynos 5 Octa or Snapdragon 800 CPU which is similar to the Galaxy S4.

If the device comes with LTE Advanced it is likely Qualcomm processor will come with it. However, many are not sure if the 3 GB of RAM are needed for the device.

The Note 3 will feature a 5.99-inch Super AMOLED flexible display, according to reports last week. The smartphone-tablet hybrid will receive a larger display than the earlier rumored 5.7-inch screen

Another Galaxy Note 3 rumor that surfaced this week pointed to two different versions of the device launching including one with an AMOLED display and the other with LCD.

Samsung normally uses AMOLED displays on its Note line, but now the company is considering using LCD for part of its production of the phablet, according to the Korean publication Daum. The reason behind the shift is that AMOLED displays no longer offer Samsung a branding benefit.

The company has been producing more devices with AMOLED displays in recent months and Samsung's top priority for the screens at this time is the Galaxy S4. It also began offering OLED TVs and now Samsung Display can't keep up with AMOLED production as fast as Samsung Electronics has been able to sell smartphones and televisions.

Expect the device sometime in September.
