GALAXY
Note 3 makes your everyday life amazing
“We introduced the
original GALAXY Note in 2011 and launched a whole new smart device category.
The undeniable success of the GALAXY Note strengthened our conviction that
consumers want higher quality features for smart devices and they want those
new features to make their lives better,” said JK Shin, CEO and President of
IT & Mobile Division at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung GALAXY Note 3 is a
powerful, original approach that enables users to tell the stories of their
lives through dynamic and seamless expressions of their passions across work,
play and life experiences. With a simple click of the S Pen button, users can
unlock opportunities for self-expression, features that transform everyday
activities into extraordinary events and access to new experiences delivered
to them on Note 3’s larger screen.”
Samsung GALAXY Note 3
comes with a wider (5.7inch) full HD Super AMOLED display, yet slimmer
(8.3mm) and lighter (168g) hardware design, and more powerful and longer
lasting (3,200mAh) battery. Also, equipped with a 13 megapixel rear camera
with Smart Stabilization and high CRI LED flash, Samsung GALAXY Note 3
enables users to crisply capture every visual story in their lives, even in
low light and active situations. Samsung GALAXY Note 3 offers the latest LTE
technologies – CAT4 Carrier Aggregation and supports the greatest number of
multiple frequencies. Incorporating the industry’s largest 3GB RAM, the
GALAXY Note 3 also provides faster and more powerful performance.
Balancing
GALAXY Note 3’s strength with artistic design
In addition to
meaningful technological advancements, Samsung GALAXY Note 3 delivers a new
premium look and feel. Expanding on the modern Samsung GALAXY design
approach, Samsung GALAXY Note 3 adds a soft and textured-touch back cover and
delicate stitching. It also features a serration pattern on the side of the
device that evokes a connection to the timeless and enduring strengths of
classic notebooks and planners. Samsung GALAXY Note 3 will be available in
Jet Black, Classic White and Blush Pink. In order to encourage its customers
to express their personality and taste, Samsung will also offer exchangeable
back covers in dozens of additional colors at launch.
Click
S Pen to make life easier, faster and more exciting
The new S Pen
reinvents and modernizes the classic note-taking experience by providing the
ability to accomplish everyday tasks with just one click. The advanced S Pen
is designed to be fully functional as a communication driver between the
phone and the user by creating essential input and control features. It plays
an integral role in how users interface with the device, making all daily
routines easier.
A simple click of the
S Pen button while hovering over the screen introduces users to Air
Command, a palette of five powerful features that truly make tasks easier
and faster. With the Air Command feature, there is no need to toggle between
screens, memorize commands or look up different menus. The Air Command
feature provides access to the following key functions:
- Action Memo allows users to handwrite a note, and
automatically execute a function or convert that handwritteninformation
into formatted content. Action Memo can instantly initiate a call, add
to contacts, look up an address on a map, search the web, save a task to
a to-do list, and more
- Scrapbook enables users to organize or track down content
and information from various sources including the web, YouTube and
Gallery in one place so that users can easily look back at collected
content all at once. When consumers save content for future use,
Scrapbook also collects source material or URLs allowing them to easily
refer back to the original source.
- The Screen Write feature
captures the full screen image of the current page on the device and
allows users to write comments or additional information onto the
captured image.
- S Finder allows users to expansively search for content
on their device regardless of the type. By putting in keywords or
filters such as date, location, and content type, users can search
related documents, events, communication threads, and even the Help page
– all in one place. In addition, users can also search for hand-written
content in their Notes and memo applications, as well as symbols and
formulas.
- Pen Window allows users to use the S Pen not only for
drawing sketches or writing notes, but now also for opening a small
application window for a true multitasking experience. Simply by drawing
a window of any size, anywhere on the screen, users can easily and
quickly open another application window such as YouTube, calculator or
Browser without pausing current activity on the screen.
For more advanced
note-taking, the new S Note presents a comprehensive
solution that enables consumers to easily write, organize, edit and browse
notes with a user-friendly interface and the Easy Chart feature. The new
S Note can also be synced with Evernote or a Samsung account and be
enabled for accessing and viewing from different devices. Furthermore, when a
user wants only a certain part of an image to be taken from the web or Note 3
content, the advanced new Easy Clip feature allows them to
roughly draw around the desired image and then it converts that content into
a more precisely cropped image.
Larger
Note screen delivers enriched viewing experience and enables you to do more
The Samsung GALAXY
Note 3 delivers a larger screen and the increased size is matched with
powerful improvements that allow users to fully utilize the additional screen
space. The 5.7-inch Full HD Super AMOLED screen provides a stunning and
defined video viewing experience for watching Full HD content, distinct
clarity for reading and an elegant canvas for content creation.
My
Magazine provides a
personalized news, social media, entertainment and in-the-moment content
experience. Developed through a partnership with Flipboard, it offers an
integrated content consuming experience in a modern and dynamic
magazine-style layout.
The GALAXY Note 3
enables enhanced multitasking capabilities that allow users to fully utilize
the larger screen.
- With the new Multi
Window, users can toggle seamlessly between applications without
closing the window or opening a new page, allowing for enhanced
productivity and collaboration across programs. Consumers can also run
one application in two windows at the same time. For instance, users can
read the news in one browser while conducting a web search in another,
or send an instant message through ChatON to a friend while reading a
message from another friend.
- In addition, using Drag
and Drop mode within the new Multi Window, users can easily
drag and drop content such as a text or image from one window to the
other in an instant.
- Pen Window from Air Command further
enhances multitasking experience by allowing consumers to draw a window
on the screen and launching popular applications while continuing
current tasks on the GALAXY Note 3.
An improvement to Group
Play, video sharing, is now available. Originally introduced along with
the GALAXY S4, Group Play allows users to play the same music, to play games
together, and to share documents. It now enables consumers to share videos
and play content together with their friends simultaneously. Users can also
connect up to five devices alongside each other to create a “big screen”
viewing experience.
Samsung
KNOX & Find My Mobile
The new GALAXY Note 3
comes with enhanced privacy and security protection provided by Samsung KNOX.
Users can activate Samsung KNOX with ease which allows them to run and store
security-sensitive applications and data inside a protected execution
environment called “container.” The security inside the container is
strengthened by system-level protection of Samsung KNOX against malware and
phishing attacks as well as hacking attempts on physical devices when devices
are stolen or lost. For instance, important personal pictures or video can be
stored in the container with no worries for data leakage due to hacking. In
addition, users may choose to store enterprise applications and data such as
corporate email, contacts and calendar and allow the IT department to manage
the container through EAS (Exchange ActiveSync Server). These features make
the GALAXY Note 3 an ideal device for BYOD (Bring-Your-Own-Device to work)
Furthermore, the
GALAXY Note 3 is equipped with an improved Find My Mobile feature that allows
users to disable the phone when it is stolen or lost. With the enhanced user
authentication, the technology prevents stolen mobile phones from being reset
to factory settings, and allows users to remotely track or erase the data
from their lost or stolen mobile phones.
GALAXY
Gear, the smart companion for GALAXY Note 3
Simultaneously
announced with Samsung GALAXY Note 3, GALAXY Gear is a new concept device that
allows users to live life in the moment while staying connected. GALAXY Gear
will notify users and give them quick previews of incoming texts, emails and
more coming from GALAXY Note 3. It will provide a range of other valuable
features and commands that extend the GALAXY Note 3 experience. When an
incoming message requires more than a quick glance, users can simply pick up
their Samsung GALAXY devices and the Smart Relay feature will instantly
reveal the full content on the screen. Together, GALAXY Note 3 and GALAXY
Gear extend Samsung’s efforts to provide users with the opportunity to design
their lives, to express their passions and to make everyday life more easy
and enjoyable.
Available in 32GB or
64GB internal storage along with an additional microSD card slot, the Samsung
GALAXY Note 3 and GALAXY Gear are set to launch starting from September 25 in
more than 140 countries around the world. The Samsung GALAXY Note 3 will also
be available in the U.S. later this year on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon
Wireless and U.S. Cellular.
The GALAXY Note 3 will
be on display at the Samsung booth # 20 at IFA 2013, September 6 through
September 11, 2013. Full details, video content and product images are
