In Samsung Galaxy Note 3 news, the open-source and customizable CyanogenMod source code has been released for the big screen phablet, and the powerful phone also recently received an accessory which supports wireless charging. The Charging S-View Flip Cover is specifically made for the Galaxy Note 3 smartphone, allowing you to simply drop your handset onto a Qi-compatible wireless charging pad to begin charging. As Android has been created as an open source and free operating system, CyanogenMod has been created to make customizing and tinkering with Android operating systems easy for those technologically advanced smartphone owners.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $149.99 – $759.99.
The handset continues to sell at around one half of the price it launched with back in September, and in early December passed the 10 million units shipped mark. Samsung wanted to create a display which was bigger than the screen on the Galaxy Note II, and they successfully achieved that while keeping the Galaxy Note 3 actually smaller in overall size than the previous model. When Samsung debuted the smart stylus S Pen integrated into the original Galaxy Note, industry analysts were not sure that a stylus-supporting smartphone with such a large screen and overall body would catch on.
However, even though mobile marketplace experts are generally correct, they were surprised at the popularity that the big-screen Galaxy Note displayed. The Galaxy Note II went on to be an even bigger seller, and the current Galaxy Note 3 has several impressive reasons why it has continued the bestselling status of the Galaxy flagship. No previous mobile device has ever delivered 3.0 GB of RAM memory, and the Galaxy Note 3 smartphone/tablet does. Also, the central processor on board the Galaxy Note 3 phablet is one of the fastest ever designed, and the phone includes 32 GB of built-in storage and a microSD slot for expansion.
All this while still delivering a large 5.70 inch Full HD display with a resolution of 1,080 x 1,920 pixels. That screen is protected by a third generation of scratch resistant Gorilla Glass, and the device is slim overall, measuring just 8.3 mm (0.33 inches) in thickness. A recent upgrade to the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean operating system has been completed, and Samsung recently teamed up with Google to announce that the Galaxy Note 3 smartphone would probably be receiving the much-anticipated Android 4.4 KitKat operating system upgrade in Q1 of 2014.
The main camera on board the Galaxy Note 3 offers a 13.0 megapixel sensor and the ability to record video in Full HD 1,080P resolution, with the smartphone also offering a front facing chat cam. The Galaxy Note 3 comes equipped with a built-in infrared sensor which allows you to use your smartphone as a remote control for consumer electronic devices like HD TVs and sound systems. You can expect twice the industry average run time from a single battery charge, including 25.0 hours of talk time.
