The Galaxy Note 3 smartphone has shipped over 5 million units in its first 28 days of availability, a feat that took the Galaxy Note II a full 2 months, and a figure the original Galaxy Note only achieved after five months of existence. That first Galaxy Note filled a market need for a mobile handset with an exceptionally large display, speedy processor, high-resolution screen and capable smart stylus. Most industry analysts thought the 5.3 inch display was “too large” to be popular across-the-board, but with each generation that display has grown, as has sales popularity.
You can purchase the Samsung Galaxy Note III at a reduced price tag stating at $169.
And also, with each successive Galaxy Note model the capabilities and applications which support the smart stylus S Pen continue to grow. The handset offers a unique multi-screen feature which allows you to create two separate miniature displays on the large 5.7 inch screen. You can then operate those mini-screens independently of each other, or incorporate the two. The handset arrived in late September, and recently Internet retailing kingpin Amazon gave the Verizon Galaxy Note an early holiday season discount price tag.
Usually Internet retailers discount consumer electronics items for Cyber Monday, which this year falls on December 2. And in recent years, they have also begun to roll back prices on Black Friday, to compete with brick-and-mortar retail outlets. However, Amazon has already discounted the price tag on the Verizon Galaxy Note 3, all the way down to $169 on contract. The handset is available in either black or white, and delivers NFC, DLNA, infrared, Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi wireless connectivity options.
The 5.70 inch capacitive, multitouch screen on the Galaxy Note 3 is a Super AMOLED model with a pixel density of 386 pixels per inch. This creates a Full HD designation, and a resolution of 1,080 x 1,920 pixels. Special light and proximity sensors help conserve battery power, and a third generation layer of Corning Gorilla Glass offers scratch resistance. Android’s Jelly Bean 4.3 operating system is present out-of-the-box, with a promised arrival of KitKat 4.4 coming in January of next year. Despite the impressive amount of hardware and the large display, along with an oversized battery, the Galaxy Note 3 on Verizon measures just 0.33 inches (8.3 mm) in thickness.
You can squeeze up to 25.0 hours of use out of a single battery charge, and the large 3,200 mA extended life battery can sit in standby mode for a full three weeks. The Galaxy Note 3 is powered by a Snapdragon 800 quad core 2.3 GHz CPU, and this is the first mobile handset to deliver a generous 3.0 GB of RAM memory. 32 GB of built-in data storage is present, as is a microSD slot. The 13.0 megapixel camcorder on the back of the handset is capable of 4K video capture at 30 frames per second, and boasts a wide range of special effects and customization options. Samsung has included a front facing 2.0 megapixel chat cam, and you can use that front snapper for capturing images or placing video calls and chats. You can purchase the Galaxy Note 3 at a discounted purchase price starting at $169.
