Samsung working on cheaper Galaxy Note 3: Report
Samsung
recently unveiled its Galaxy Note 3 phablet, which has been priced at
Rs 49,900 in the Indian market. Fans who feel dismayed by the exorbitant
price tag of the new handset can take heart from rumours that a cheaper
version of the device is in the offing.
As
per the latest media reports, Samsung will launch a cheaper version of
Galaxy Note 3 and another limited edition version with a flexible
display. As per ETNews, a Korean publication, the cheaper model would go
into production in November and hit the market by year end. As per the
report, this version would feature an LCD display instead of a
SuperAMOLED one. The camera would be downgraded from 13MP to 8MP in the
cheaper version, though it will retain the exterior design and the S Pen
of the current model.
Earlier this year, there were reports of Samsung releasing a low-cost Galaxy Note 3 at IFA.
Coming
to the limited edition model, Samsung too has announced that will
introduce a smartphone with a curved display. In January Samsung, which
has taken over from Apple as the global smartphone leader, showed off
prototype products with a flexible screen and a display that extends
from the side of a device.
Earlier it was
rumoured that Samsung was going to release four versions of the Note 3
at the IFA, while it came with only two, namely the Snapdragon 800 model
and the Exynos octa-core version. This will not be the first time that
Samsung has launched several variants of a single device; its Galaxy S4
smartphone spawned off handsets like Galaxy S4 mini, Galaxy S4 Active,
Galaxy S4 zoom and Galaxy S4 LTE-A.
