Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo seems to have a 2.3GHz Snapdragon version

Samsung officially launched the new Galaxy Note 3 Neo in its home country, South Korea. And while this isn’t necessarily newsworthy, we discovered something that is: the Korean Note 3 Neo has a different processor - it’s not the Exynos 5260 Hexa used for its international LTE model, and neither the quad-core 1.6GHz Snapdragon found on the 3G-only model. It’s a 2.3GHz quad-core CPU, and we assume it’s a Snapdragon 800 (since all S800 processors are clocked either at 2.36GHz, or at 2.26GHz).

Apart from the changed (and apparently more powerful) CPU, the Korean Galaxy Note 3 Neo isn’t different from its international variants. Thus, its features include Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display with 720 x 1280 pixels, LTE, 8MP rear camera, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, a 3,100 mAh battery, and a faux-leather back cover.

Samsung specifically targets the Note 3 Neo at young users in Korea. We don’t know if the version with a 2.3GHz processor will ever make it outside of Samsung’s home country.
