Smart Communications to offer the Galaxy Note III

After Globe announced that they will be offering the Galaxy Note III soon, the country's largest mobile carrier is offering the newest phablet from Samsung too. Unlike Globe's offer which you can bundle-in the Galaxy Gear, Smart's seems to do not include the smartwatch. But unlike Globe, Smart gave us an idea on which plans the Galaxy Note III will come for free. The phablet will be free with the Unli Postpaid Plan 2000 or the All-in Plan 2500.

Samsung launched ISOCELL a new image sensor technology for mobile devices

Yesterday, Samsung launched a new image sensor that is bound to be found in their high-end mobile devices in the future. The new technology basically goes away of the current trend of Back Side Illumination (BSI) which is found inside the Galaxy S 4 and the Galaxy Note III. According to Samsung, ISOCELL "technology forms a physical barrier between neighboring pixels – isolating the pixel. This isolation enables more photons to be collected from the micro-lens and absorbed into the correct pixel’s photodiode minimizing undesired electrical crosstalk between pixels and allowing expanded full well capacity (FWC)."

The Samsung Galaxy Note III

And here it is, Samsung's most amazing device ever since its conception, the Samsung Galaxy Note III. The Galaxy Note 3 alongside the Galaxy Note 10.1 is Samsung's first mobile device to sport a leather back panel complete with the stitches detail. The phablet will come in 3 different colors, apparently, black, white, and pink. The announcement of this device during the event was, for me, short. Samsung has focused on the S Pen and all the other Note exclusive features the line has. Well it fits, because whatever the Galaxy S IV has the Note III has plus the S Pen and the great compatibility this device has with the Galaxy Gear. There was pretty much no need for them to dwell with the other features because they were already demo-ed back when the Galaxy S 4 was announced. The S Pen and the exclusive Note line features on the GN 3 includes, Air Command, which uses the S Pen to open up options even without touching the screen. The new GN 3 and the software it has features a better Multi Window feature. The Multi Window can now handle 2 windows of the same app opened and there has the cool drag between windows feature that I was actually looking for on the GN 2. Anyway, these features will definitely come to the GN 2. Samsung also announced that the Galaxy S III and the Galaxy Note II will both get the 4.3 update come October. With regards to the device's availability, the GN 3 will be launched together with the Galaxy Gear to more than 140 countries worldwide in September 25, 2013.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)

The next device that was announced during the Samsung Unpacked Episode 2 event in Berlin was the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition). The GN 10.1 2014 sports the same specifications as the GN 3 the only difference is that the GN 10.1 only has an 8MP rear shooter and some other sensors that the GN 3 has while this tablet does not. Everything else, are totally the same, from RAM to CPU they are the same. Of course, the GN 10.1 does not sport the same display as the GN 3, apparently, this is way bigger than the GN 3 and is only sorting a Super Clear display rather than a Super AMOLED display. Nonetheless, this tablet, is a stunner. It has a leather backing like the GN 3 and a screen resolution fit for a huge display. The tablet will be available in the 3rd quarter of this year with no exact date. But I'm pretty sure this tablet will sell, because by specs alone and the feature it offers, it is bound to be a seller.

The Samsung Galaxy Gear

The Samsung Unpacked Episode 2 event in Berlin, Germany has just ended and there were 3 devices that Samsung announced. One of them is this, the Samsung Galaxy Gear. The smartwatch that has been roaming around the rumor and leak mills until today. The Galaxy Gear, it appears, does not run on any mobile OS whatsoever. It must be running on a Samsung proprietary OS. It does not look like it runs on Android and on the specs sheet of the device it does not say Android or whatever. Anyway, the way Samsung introduced this device during the event was that it is supposed to be a great companion to the Galaxy Note III. Of course, you cans till buy a Galaxy Gear and still use it with your, let's say, Galaxy S 3, 4 or the Galaxy Note II.
