The end of year holiday season is almost here, and to get an early start, the Amazon Wireless store is offering the popular and bestselling Verizon Galaxy Note 3 smartphone/tablet at a reduced retail price tag. The handset will now set you back just $169 on contract at Amazon, and has achieved several firsts for Samsung, both as a Galaxy Note model, and a mobile handset.
You can purchase the Samsung Galaxy Note III at a reduced price tag stating at $169.
This is the first smartphone offered by any manufacturer to deliver a full 3.0 GB of RAM system memory, and also delivers a Full HD touch display for the first time on a Galaxy Note device. And carrying on the tradition of stumping industry analysts who have been saying that the Galaxy Note phablets are too large to be commercially successful, this third-generation Galaxy Note has already shipped more than 5 million units in its first 30 days of global availability.
That is a sales figure which any handset would be proud of, and in actuality, the phone is slightly smaller than the Galaxy Note II. Overall dimensions have been reduced, while the display size has been increased. Designers at Samsung have done an excellent job in delivering a large 5.70 inch display with a resolution of 1,080 x 1,920 pixels, while also minimizing the surrounding bezel to create as small a device as possible.
A new “drop proof” textured backing has been included, and the handset measures just 0.33 inches (8.3 mm) in thickness. The popular S Pen smart stylus has been improved and designed to feel more like a natural pen in your hand, and has also been given a whole new lineup of capabilities. The 3,200 mAh extended life cell on the Galaxy Note 3 phone delivers more than twice the industry average talk time, with 25.0 hours provided after a full battery charge.
On the hardware side of the equation, a full 32 GB of built-in closet space is on board, and the accompanying microSD slot will accept external memory cards up to 64 GB in size. The versatile and powerful Adreno 330 graphics processor has been added, as has a Snapdragon 800 central processor clocked at an impressive 2.3 GHz. The rear snapper this time around is a 13.0 megapixel model with 4K video capture capability, and this is arguably one of the best cameras found on a Samsung smartphone. A special effects package and customization options are present, and the phone also includes a front facing chat cam with video call support. You can purchase the Galaxy Note 3 at a discounted purchase price starting at $169.
