Rumors

Note 3 could be delayed [rumor]


According to the report, the Galaxy Note 3 will use a flexible, and thus more durable, OLED display. Unfortunately Samsung is finding it hard to make the display work on the phone and the manufacturing yield has yet to meet the levels of projected demand. The report then goes on to suggest that because of this, Samsung could either be forced to delay the Galaxy Note 3 until they resolve the issues, or they could instead replace the display with an older display type which does not sound like it would sit well with customers.

Unless they're making a foldable display, like in their mock video earlier this year, I'd rather them stick with a glass screen (even if the flexible screen is supposedly more durable).

Only reason I'd want to see a flexible display, is if they have a convertible/foldable phone that switches from a 5.5 (or bigger) screen for portability, to a bigger tablet sized screen.

That would be cool! Keep it folded in your pocket as a phone and when you get home unfold it to a 12 tablet. :D

Yup, just like my post above:

Samsung Flexible Displays Concepts . Keynote CES 2013 - Video presentation - YouTube

This is the only instance, I'll be good with the use of a flexible screen. Otherwise, I don't see much use for it.

Even the version that was demonstrated with the scrolling notification bar on the side of the flip cover. To me, that's not that great and wouldn't have much use of that.
 
Rumors abound

Interestingly, the model numbers SM-N900A, SM-N900T, and SM-N900V have shown up here. They are expected to be the AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Galaxy Note 3 models respectively. Oddly enough, the AT&T model is listed with a 6-inch display like the T-Mobile model while the rumored Verizon variant is apparently being tested with a 5.7-inch display. - GottaBeMobile

Samsung Galaxy Note III could be available in Three different Screen sizes(5.5 inch,5.7 inch and 6 inches) - TechKiddy


One T-Mobile for me please.

So according to that rumor, only the T-Mobile and at&t models will have the 6in screens? Interesting.

Thanks for the link, I missed that one.

I'm wondering why they chose to go with a 5.7" display (if true). After the 5.5, I would have expected the rumored 5.99" display to be included. Perhaps it was to keep the overall size of the phone down.

I do know that my S4's 4.99" display is stellar, as is the one on my new Nexus 7", it's my experience with those two that lead me to _guess_ that a 6" would be the sweet spot for me. I could carry just one device that way.

Since it's still a bit of a wait before the release, who knows perhaps that rumor of a 5.7 _and_ a 5.99" being considered, will be realized.

Only time will tell.
