6.3-inch Samsung Galaxy Note III rumored for 2013

Phablets started with the Samsung Galaxy Note in 2011, and the 5.3-inch monster phone scared us at the time with its size. But while we thought that was the limit, Samsung surprised us by bumping the display to the whopping 5.5 inches in 2012, and in 2013 rumor has it, the company will go even further by equipping the Samsung Galaxy Note III with a 6.3-inch display.

This rumor comes along with talks of Samsung beginning a restructuring in its LCD unit, which should translate in cuts in production in favor of OLED.

“With money saved from LCD restructuring, the firm plans to spend more on OLED and flexible displays,” a parts supplier told the Korea Times.

This will allow Samsung to differentiate in the space and focus on organic LED displays. Samsung is using the AMOLED technology in its high-end products, and the Galaxy Note II comes with a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED screen.
