We already know that the Galaxy Note 3 is going to be showcased at an event on the 4th of September, but up to this point consumers still did not know when they were going to be able to get the device shipped to them. Even though the date has not been confirmed, it looks like there is new information that is pointing to an actual release date of September 27th. Pre-orders for the next generation Galaxy Note 3 are going to start on the 16th in Taiwan according to reports.
A few other rumors suggested that the device could start shipping within the same week as the press event in the United Kingdom and other regions overseas before finally making its way over to the United States. Just like all of the other rumors, this one cannot and was not confirmed by Samsung or any mobile carrier, so consumers will still have to wait for an official announcement. When the Samsung Galaxy S4 launched, one of the first places was Taiwan so it makes sense that the Galaxy Note 3 be set to launch first there as well.
Until there is an official announcement, the dates could change, but this seems to be the most concrete information posted in a while. There was a suggestion that even though Taiwan is going to see the device first, the United Kingdom and United States could see the device around the same week. In order for Samsung to get a good jump on sales over the iPhone 5S, the more regions the phablet is available the better. There is little doubt that Samsung will have any issue selling the device, but you never know since the iPhone 5S is coming with a bunch of improvements.
Mobile carriers in the United States will typically have release dates spread out from one another when it comes to smartphone releases, but with the Galaxy Note series it has been the opposite with all of the mobile carriers trying to get the device released around the same time if possible. Doing this makes it easier for consumers that have a contract coming up and are thinking of switching carriers just to get a chance at the new phablet. If all mobile carriers carry the device at the same time consumers can just wait for the contract to be up and go from there.
