Here's something to wake up to on a sleepy Sunday morning that will get your juices flowing. The latest rumored specs for the Samsung GALAXY Note III include 3GB of RAM. We all saw how quickly 2GB of the stuff became the high-end norm, so if this is true, we could expect other top-shelf models to follow suit.
The Samsung GALAXY Note II (R) and allegedly the follow-up (L)
The Samsung GALAXY Note III is expected to feature a 5.99 inch FHD screen. Under the hood is the octa-core Samsung Exynos 5410 processor containing a 2.0GHz quad-core A15 CPU and a 1.7GHz quad-core A7 CPU. The aforementioned 3GB of RAM is inside along with 32GB of native storage. The latter can be expanded thanks to the microSD slot on the device and Android 4.2.2 is pre-installed out of the box.

China's MyDrivers has a picture showing the Samsung GALAXY Note IIalongside a device that allegedly is the Samsung GALAXY Note III. Based on our chart (see below), the pictured device doesn't swamp the Samsung GALAXY Note II like the Samsung Galaxy Mega series does. But the model number that is printed with the device, GT-i9500, is the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S4, which the device in the picture clearly is not. So we are skeptical about the photo, and continue to wonder whether the Korean OEM will be releasing the model using a different material other than plastic.
If the Samsung GALAXY Note III is released with these specs, is everybody happy with it?
This chart shows that the device in the picture is not a Samsung Galaxy Mega model
