Samsung Galaxy Note III display measured and compared to the Note II

Posted on by Anton D. Nagy

We had a first glimpse at the alleged front panel of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note III and the internet is taking this a step further, with measurements, as well as comparisons to the current model. Let’s start off with the measurements: those who claim access to the physical component state that, after measurements, the screen will be a 5.68-inch display, with 2.2mm bezels (the actual display is 1.8mm thick). How does that compare to the display of the Galaxy Note II? Check out the ...

Samsung Galaxy Note III front panel allegedly leaks, exec confirms September 4 plans

Posted on by Anton D. Nagy

What we have above, and below, is allegedly the front panel of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note III. If this turns out to be the real deal, we’re looking at more squared off corners, but, aside from that, we’re still seeing the good old Samsung design, with the home button on the center of the bottom part. We’re guessing capacitive buttons are a go, to its left and right, and the top features the webcam as well as places for the sensors. The report claims dimensions similar to the Note II, but with a larger screen (hence, smaller bezels). On a different, but still related ...

Posted on by Michael Fisher

If you thought the Palm commercials of 2009 were as weird as mobile tech advertising would ever get, HTC and Robert Downey Jr. have something to show you. That’s the conversation that kicks off this week’s edition of the Pocketnow Weekly podcast, and it’s followed by some heartening news about this year’s IFA in Berlin. If the rumors hold true, we should be in for some powerfully geeky, if unconventional, tech in Germany this year – and even if they don’t, we’ve got plenty to talk about in the way of chipsets, Nexii, smartwatches, and phablets.
