Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear Overview

On the 4th of September at the IFA 2013 in Berlin, Germany Samsung announced its Galaxy Note 3 the latest instalment of the Galaxy Note product line. The new device boasts enhanced S Pen features and impressive multitasking capabilities; it features 4G LTE capabilities, 5.7 inch screen, 32/64 GB configurations with microSD support of up to 64GB, 3GB of RAM – an industry first, NFC functionality, a 13 MP camera, with up to a 2.3GHz quad-core krait 400 processor paired with a 1.3GHz quad-core cortex-A7 processor – making eight (8) cores in total and twice its predecessor, all powering on Android v4.3 (Jellybean) OS.

Samsung also announced its first ever Smartwatch, the Samsung Galaxy Gear – this is Samsung first attempt at wearable technology. The primary function of this device is for quick access to notifications and basic features on your mobile phone or tablet. The Samsung Galaxy Gear has a built-in speaker and microphones which allow the device to be used as a hands-free and can function independently also as a digital watch.


One drawback about the Samsung Galaxy Gear is it’s only currently compatible with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, but Samsung promised compatibility with more Galaxy devices with their next scheduled OS update. Both devices will be available for purchase from September 25, 2013 in Nigeria.
