Galaxy Note 3 phablet owners in the United States can be thankful of their northern neighbors for some recent Android operating system information that has leaked from the Great White North. Canadian wireless carrier Rogers recently claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 smartphones will be receiving an update to the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system very soon. Earlier this year Android 4.4 began to roll out, and is definitely on its way to the popular big-screen Note 3. It is just a matter of when.
And up to this date there has not been a wide number of phones which have adopted the newest Android operating system version. The popular handset was recently spotted at the Amazon Wireless store online at around $199 on contract from multiple US carriers. Continuing to fly in the face of industry analysts who claim that the phone is too large, the 5.70 inch Galaxy Note 3 screen has actually grown from the previous two versions. However, smart Samsung designers have decreased the overall size of the phone while increasing the size and resolution of the display.
The handset is also exceptionally slim, especially when you consider the amount of high-end hardware it contains. The skinny and versatile smartphone was seen accompanied by the words “coming soon” in several Rogers advertisements recently. You may remember that we informed you here last month that French carrier SFR also confirmed it was releasing Android 4.4 for the Galaxy Note 3. Whether or not the desired operating system hits the bestselling phone in the next couple of days or the next couple of weeks, the Galaxy Note 3 continues to be one of the hottest selling phones of early 2014.
The first mobile device to offer a full 3.0 GB of RAM memory, the Galaxy Note 3 can remotely control your television set, while also accessing wireless Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC and DLNA technologies. The first Full HD Galaxy Note phone, the Note 3 delivers 1,080 x 1,920 pixel resolution at 386 pixels per inch. A protective Gorilla Glass 3 cover is on board, and the phone delivers a staggering 25.0 hours of run time after a single charge. That is approximately double the industry average.
Galaxy Note 3 owners benefit from 32 GB of built-in data storage and a microSD slot that supports external memory cards up to 64 GB in size. The powerful processor runs at a blazing 2.3 GHz, and the rear facing 13.0 megapixel snapper on board is one of the first smartphone cameras to offer 4K video capture. That rear shooter also delivers digital zoom, a special effects package and a self timer, as well as continuous autofocus while recording video. A front facing chat cam is also present, providing you with opportunities for selfies and video chats.
