The Amazon Wireless store provides a pretty good indication of a smartphone’s global popularity. Amazon is the largest Internet retailer in the world, and they frequently update their Bestselling Mobile Handsets list, widely regarded in the mobile marketplace as a reliable indicator of sales strength and customer acceptance. Recently four Galaxy Note 3 phablets were solidly lodged in the top eighteen spots on that respected bestseller’s list.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $149.99 – $709.99.
The phone has been out since early September of last year, when it debuted with the largest screen ever found on a Galaxy Note device. When the original Galaxy Note arrived with a 5.3 inch display, critics immediately said the phone was too big to be accepted by the typical smartphone purchaser. That phone immediately went on to become a bestseller, and made way for the Galaxy Note II, which delivered a 5.55 inch screen. And while this new Galaxy Note smartphone offers a large 5.70 inch display, the overall dimensions of the handset have shrunken gradually, making the device actually smaller than the Galaxy Note II.
Offered at around $199 on contract in several colors from multiple wireless carriers at Amazon, the Galaxy Note 3 is the first mobile device to deliver a full 3.0 GB of RAM system memory. This is also the first Galaxy Note creation to receive a Full HD designation, with a resolution of 1,080 x 1,920 pixels. With Gorilla Glass scratch resistance, that big, beautiful display it sits atop one of the fastest processors to ever make its way into a smartphone.
The Snapdragon 800 quad core processor powering the Galaxy Note 3 has been clocked at a blazing 2.3 GHz, and along with an Adreno 330 GPU, efficiently supports many attractive features. You can wake the handset up from standby mode simply by saying, “Hi, Galaxy,” and even use the handset as a remote control device for your television or home audio system. Wafer thin at 0.33 inches (8.3 mm), even though there are multiple juice-devouring applications and pieces of hardware on board, a full 25.0 hours of run time is provided by a single charge of the extended life 3,200 mA battery.
That is more than double the industry average, and the Galaxy Note 3 delivers 32 GB of data storage space, as well as a microSD slot. The main camera is a rear facing shooter with a 13 megapixel sensor, one of the first smartphone cameras ever designed to provide 4K video capture. That rear shooter comes equipped with digital image stabilization, an LED flash, a multishot burst mode and digital zoom, and a front facing chat cam is also on board. Wireless connectivity options are offered via Bluetooth, NFC, DLNA, infrared and Wi-Fi 802.11 channels.
