Yesterday we heard that Samsung intends to launch a budget version of their Samsung Galaxy Note 3 smartphone. The handset is said to come with an LCD display and an 8-megapixel camera, which would make it a more affordable option for consumers who want the Note 3 experience without the premium price tag.
Rumors of a Flexible Display Version
Now, there are rumors of another Note 3 version in the works. According to a recent report by Chosun, Samsung is working on a new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with a flexible display. This is a rumor that we heard quite a bit before the first Samsung Galaxy Note 3 was announced, so it is quite possible that Samsung is working on a third version of the handset. The idea of a flexible display is intriguing as it could offer more durability and new form factors that are not possible with traditional rigid screens.
The current Samsung Galaxy Note 3 comes with a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED full HD display, plus a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, and 3GB of RAM. It also comes with 32GB or 64GB of built-in storage, plus a microSD card slot for additional storage. The handset features a new 13-megapixel camera, which has been praised for its high-quality photos and advanced features like 4K video recording.
Potential Impact of New Versions
The introduction of a budget version with an LCD display and an 8-megapixel camera could significantly broaden the market for the Note 3. By offering a more affordable option, Samsung could attract consumers who are price-sensitive but still want a large-screen device with the S Pen functionality that the Note series is known for. This could be particularly appealing in emerging markets where cost is a major factor in purchasing decisions.
On the other hand, a version with a flexible display could set a new standard in smartphone design. Flexible displays are not just a gimmick; they offer practical benefits such as increased durability and the potential for new, innovative form factors. For example, a flexible display could allow the phone to be more resistant to drops and impacts, reducing the likelihood of screen cracks. Additionally, it could enable new uses like foldable or rollable screens, which could revolutionize how we interact with our devices.
As soon as we get more information about a new version of the Note 3 with a flexible OLED display, and also the LCD version of the handset, we will let you guys know. The potential for these new versions to impact the market is significant, and it will be interesting to see how Samsung positions these devices in their product lineup.
