Galaxy Note 3 With 6.3-Inch Display Could be in The Works
Samsung is said to be working on the Galaxy Note 2's successor, with the Galaxy Note 3 apparently sporting a 6.3-inch display.
According to The Korea Times, local parts suppliers have discussed a 6.3-inch OLED screen for Samsung's Galaxy Note 3. Comparatively, the Galaxy Note 2's screen has a 5.5-inch display.
Samsung's Galaxy Note 2, a device that has sold upwards of 5 million units in two months, was already considered to be pushing the boundaries of smartphone sizes, subsequently spearheading the market known as "phablets", a hybrid between tablets and handsets.
The company isn't alone in that market, though. Huawei is rumored to be working on the Ascend Mate, which reportedly boasts a 6.1-inch display.
Elsewhere, the Korea Times also claimed that an unveiling of Samsung's Galaxy S4 will take place during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next February. Samsung, however, recently hinted at a CES reveal a month earlier, telling consumers to "get ready" as "the world is waiting".
I feel more comfortable with something around a SII's size
So yesterday I was in the store looking at the phones, the galaxy note II is freaking huge, I do mean huge. I am a pretty big guy and that phone is a mini tablet it's not a phone, it is too large to carry in my opinion.
The SIII was more resonable in terms of size but I opted to just go with the Rarz M since it's cheaper and is mostly on par with the SIII in terms of specs that matter to me while still being cheaper and smaller with a 4.3in screen while maintaining the same approximate size as my droid incredible without the extended battery (so close in fact I have it charging in the incredible's case I have instead of leaving it on the table).
There are still many other options out there for those who want smaller form factor. Maybe when the day comes when 4.3" and smaller phones are eliminated can people start to say "it's crazy", like these bigger phones are somehow limiting their own personal ability to choose their own phone.
