According to various Korean media, a new phablet (half tablet, half smartphone) from Samsung has already entered production. This is the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Lite, a more affordable variant of the successful Samsung Galaxy Note 3, of which insistent rumors have been heard in recent days.
This terminal is expected to be presented during the next Mobile World Congress, which will take place in Barcelona from February 24 to 27 as usual, although there are also voices that assure that it will do so more than a month before, at the CES 2014 fair. from Las Vegas. However, it would not be until March when it would become available on the market.
With the model number SM-N7505, the Galaxy Note 3 Lite would be sold in at least two colors (black and white), and its screen could be 5.5 or 5.7 inches, although in recent days it has charged special force the second option. Tell a more modest camera than his older brother (who would drop from 13 megapixels to figure more restrained than 8 megapixels), while the display technology the device would rise from the typical Super AMOLED that uses the South Korean manufacturer at a more affordable LCD. Other aspects that would be cut to make its price more attractive are the resolution (staying at 720p) and the internal memory of the computer (starting at 16 gigabytes). For its part, the equipped processor is expected to be dual-core with an operating speed of 1.2 gigahertz, and if we attend to the intention of adjusting the price as much as possible, it does not seem sensible to expect that it is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, but rather an inferior version.
With its arrival, Samsung would go on to offer a large smartphone but framed in the mid-range, giving more options to consumers more aware of the price (remember that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 currently costs about 700 euros in its free mode, and even 570 if we search the most popular Internet portals). According to various sources, the company would expect to monopolize with this new model up to 30 percent of all sales of the Galaxy Note 3 range, which did not see the light next to the other terminal to prevent the maximum exponent of the phablet category was overshadowed. Now, having passed the bar of ten million units sold, it seems a much more propitious time to diversify the range.
As for the version of the operating system with which it would be equipped, it is expected to be at least Android Jelly Bean 4.3 or KitKat 4.4, in line with the movements that Samsung is carrying out in the rest of its most recent and popular terminals.
The Galaxy Note range was in charge of giving the starting signal to larger than usual mobiles, staying closer and closer to the smaller tablets, and has as its hallmark the inclusion of the Samsung S Pen stylus, that allows you to interact with the screen in a very comfortable way and write freehand.
