In an effort to dominate the fierce competitive smartphone market, Samsung Electronics released the Galaxy Note III on September 4, 2013 at IFA Berlin, after it has gained a tremendous success on the Samsung Galaxy S4 this year. Galaxy Note III came with no surprise that it joined Samsung's phablet lineup and outperformed its predecessor - Galaxy Note II on thinner and narrower outlook, upgraded hardware and impressive software.

And the Note III includes two basic versions, one is powered by Exynos 5 Octa 5420 clocked at the quad-core 1.9GHz Cortex-A15 & 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 for GSM version, while the other is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset at quad-core 2.3 GHz Krait 400 for LTE version. Regardless of different CPU, both versions contain 3GB RAM, and optional 32 or 64 GB internal storage, plus a 13MP rear camera and a 2MP front-facing shooter, as well as a removable 3200mAh battery.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is available in several variants for different carriers, like the previous different Galaxy S4 model number, Galaxy S3 model number and Galaxy Note 2 model number. The differences between the versions are mainly attributed to the CPUs clocking measured by the GHz.
