Samsung confirms: a new Galaxy Note (probably the Note 4) will be unveiled on September 3

Yesterday, we told you that Samsung would host a press event on September 3 at IFA 2014 - and we assumed that the company would announce the long-rumored Galaxy Note 4 on that day. Well, Samsung is now confirming that the event will indeed be about a new Note - which is almost certainly the Note 4 (although Samsung doesn't mention this name yet).

As you can see above, the official invitation to the September 3 event reads: “Ready? Note the date”, and includes the unmistakable Air Command menu that’s made for the S-Pen of the Galaxy Note 3. Naturally, we’re expecting a similar Air Command menu to be available on the Galaxy Note 4, too.

Rumors have it that the Galaxy Note 4 will feature a 5.7-inch display with 1440 x 2560 pixels (Quad HD), a 16 MP rear camera with optical image stabilization, 3 GB of RAM, and possibly a water-resistant body. The handset will probably have a Snapdragon 805 processor in some markets, and an Exynos 5433 chipset in others, being a very powerful device in both cases.

September 3 is also when Sony is expected to announce its Xperia Z3 smartphone, so it looks like this will be a pretty busy day.

Sammy is still number 1. Actually they sold 2x devices compared to 2nd placed Apple. What happened is Chinese vendors sold a lot of cheap phones in China/India/East Asia. That doesn't mean Samsung isn't no.1. It would take more than 10yrs for anyone to come even close to them.

They need to release it that same day to get some huge sales. I'm gonna sell me G3 and S5 to get this. I want to see what all the hype is about the Notes. I can't wait for my iPhone 5.5 as well. This will be a great Fall.

Don't want a phablet but considering most flagships today are almost like the size of the original note, if I'm gna have to give up 1 handed use then I will get the note 4.

Can't wait to upgrade from my Note 2 to the Note 4. Although the Note 2 has been running wonderful for me, still stock (but rooted), I can't wait for the Note 4 and all the goodness (hopefully with a YOUM screen). My other phone has already been "upgraded" when I moved from my International Note 1 to a OnePlus One (on T-Mo prepaid), so I can't wait to move my work phone, the Note 2, to the Note 4!

Pretty predictable actually.... Quad HD Snapdragon 805 3 GB RAM Slightly improved camera Software gimmicks that you'd only use once or twice and (drum roll) The S-Pen! :-)

They might as well not have the event now, you were spot on. Just release the press photos of the phone and call it a day.

So is the iPhone 6 and Z3 what's your point? Note 4 hasn't leaked yet unlike the others.

I'm crossing my fingers for some easy way to root the ATT version. Otherwise, no Note 4 to follow my Note 3. Nothing against the device itself, just Samsung has to learn to stop screwing their developers and power users. If that means putting their foot down and telling ATT/VZW to f**k off, so be it. If Samsung wants to keep selling a lot of phones, they've got to make things better for customers, not telecoms/carriers.

"If Samsung wants to keep selling a lot of phones, they've got to make things better for customers, not telecoms/carriers." Who (other than Apple) is telling carriers to f*ck off?

It's hard to say. There have been some reviews that say "minimal bloatware", but I don't know how minimal this really is and whether or not that "minimal" stuff is even removable by the customer. I think most or maybe even all unlocked phones are carrier bloatware free but not device manufacturer bloatware free. Given the commonness of complaints about bloatware in almost every review and by many customers, I would think companies who want to sell more phones would listen. Apparently, Samsung, HTC, and others would rather sell fewer phones than listen to customers.

Motorola is trying at least. Most other manufacturers don't really seem to care.

With what models? My Droid Maxx is quite the carrier bloatware queen. The VZW edition of the X seemed to be just as full of the VZW bloatware as the Maxx. HTC One (M7) unlocked by contrast is free of AT&T bloatware.

Had the Note 2 for less than a year and I've been rocking with my Note 3 for a while. Both are still going strong. I can't wait to see what the Note 4 will be.

You can save a LOT of money by installing a custom Note 4 ROM in your Note 3 which will be released eventually by a well known devs called Team Electron, prolly 2-3 months after.

Can't get the new hardware bits, though - SD805, new and improved snapper, QHD screen, etc.... I am looking forward to using one of my upgrades when the Note 4 starts shipping on VZW.
