Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Note 3 New Phablet. One thing they did not share with us though, is the price. Samsung Poland made the official announcement that the Galaxy Note 3 Neo will have two different versions available, a 3G model and a separate LTE model named the Galaxy Note 4 Neo LTE+. With this announcement, they have also informed us that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo will hit markets world wide in February. It will be available in three different colors which include black, green, and white. (why green?)
The Galaxy Note 3 Neo is going to come with an S Pen like Samsung’s Galaxy Note Phablet series. The 3G model of the Galaxy Note 3 Neo is powered by a 1.6GHz quad-core processor and the LTE version is powered by a hexa-core processor. The processor is made up of two 1.7GHz Cortex A15’s and four 1.3GHz quad-core Cortex A7’s. Other than that, both variants are basically exactly the same. They are both running on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

Other features include the usual and expected; Wi-Fi, GP, GLONASS, NFC, Bluetooth, infrared and 3G. The size of the phone is 148.4×77.4×8.6mm and it weighs 162.5 grams.
