It's still quite some ways off, but the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is beginning to ramp up attention from the technosphere to the point where we now have juicy new rumors about the phablet almost every day. The latest? The Galaxy Note 3 might be sporting a 5.99-inch flexible AMOLED display.
Flexible displays, bear in mind, don't mean that you can bend your phone. Those are flexible phones - something that could be hitting markets in the future, but not anytime soon until people figure out how to bend important chipsets without breaking them.
What the report from MT Media does say is that the Samsung will begin production of the phablet with a flexible 5.99-inch display sometime in August, shooting for a September release. This lines up with a previous tip that the Galaxy Note 3 will be unveiled at a Samsung Unpacked event on June 4.
This isn't the first rumor about the Galaxy Note 3's screen size. Initial speculation had the phablet's display pegged at over 6 inches. Eventually the size was skimmed down to 6 inches, and recently, 5.7 inches. Whatever Samsung's final, official decision is, it shouldn't be too far off from 6 inches. Bigger is better, but too big isn't.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is rumored to sport either an Exynos 5 Octa eight-core chipset or Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chipset, 3GB RAM, a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, and the latest versions of Android and the Samsung S Pen electronic stylus at the time of its release.
