September 4 Samsung Galaxy Note III announcement rumored

A September 4 Samsung Galaxy Note III announcement date is not at all impossible, given the fact that previous iterations were all introduced at the August/September IFA, in Berlin. We are expecting the South Koreans to unveil the next Note phablet at the same trade show, this year.

There were lots of leaks, reports, and rumors,

One more Samsung Galaxy Note III leak, plus rumored specs

As with LG’s G2, the Samsung Galaxy Note III does a lousy job at hiding from the headlines (and from the camera).

Samsung ditches Galaxy Note III fingerprint scanner plans?

For some reason, the idea of giving smartphones fingerprint scanners has been all over rumors of upcoming hardware, and the bulk of that focus has been directed towards Apple and Samsung: a fingerprint scanner has long followed rumors of the iPhone 5S, and we saw some leaked software resources from Samsung back in May that sure seemed to imply that it was working to adopt the same technology. Recently, it’s been sounding like all this ...
