Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Release Date: Leather-Like Backing, Scrapbooker App Impresses
Samsung's Unpacked event has finally come and gone, and with it, a new generation of phablet has officially debuted itself to the public. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 finally was revealed yesterday ahead of the IFA electronic conference in Berlin, and everybody is drooling over all of the new features.
The Note III has been highly-anticipated for some time now, and its debut yesterday drew a considerable amount of press. With the newest iPhone being expected to release in less than a week, the folks at Samsung are hoping that their latest premium smart phone can convert some Apple heads to Android.
One of the key things that Samsung was hoping to achieve in its battle with the Note III is a sense of refinement and sophistication that Apple currently seems to have a monopoly on. Though the phone's size could certainly lend itself to a fair amount of utilitarian clunkiness, the casing Samsung elected to use may just be a game-changer.
"With its leather-like back and the stitching around it, the phone feels expensive and well made in my hands. The soft back can be snapped off the phone to reveal the battery. Samsung will sell replaceable back covers in several different colors, but the phone itself will come in just three: black, white or pink," writes Joseph Pisani for the Associated Press.
Another handy feature on the Note III is a new application called Scrapbooker. The Scrapbooker app allows you to effortlessly take content from the internet and save it to your phone in a fun and memorable way. All you have to do is find something you like, and draw a circle around it with the Note III''s handy S Pen.
"The Note 3 will extract whatever is in the circle and save it to the Scrapbook app. You don't have to be exact. Scrapbook seems to vacuum up anything the circle passes through as well as what's inside the lines. The result isn't just an image or a screenshot - the content remains functional. So if you circle a video, it still plays in the Scrapbook app. The text and images from snipped content are left untouched in their offline form, as well," reports geek.com.
While it was being demo'd yesterday, the Note III certainly seemed to perform with ruthless efficiency. Samsung is clearly being ambitious with its latest offering, but will it be able to perform under the day-to-day scrutiny that it's consumers put it up to? We won't know for sure until it gets released for the first time on September 25th.
