No, I have not got the wrong number. And yes, I am aware that the Galaxy Note 2 was recently introduced, and hasn't even reached the market yet. It's also very clear that any information about the future Galaxy Note 3 it might have nothing to do with what finally hits the market, but I think the latest clues that have been found drop clearly what the new might look like phablet from Samsung. Its screen would reach 5,8 inches and, be careful, it would be of type ChlorOLED, do you know what that means?
Not long ago, a friend told me that mobile phones had already gone through everything, and that there was still room for improvement. He was partly right; we had almost reached the maximum, with large high-definition screens and a very high pixel density. At first they were AMOLED, then they became Super AMOLED, now they're Super AMOLED HD, and there's Super AMOLED HD Plus. Seeing things on the screen of a high-end smartphone is better than seeing them in reality. Well, there's still room for improvement, and we'll see it in the next cycle. The change of cycle is approaching, and mobile phones need to take another turn. quality jump and continue improving in terms of components and technology. Samsung knows this, and that's why it seems to be working on a new panel technology that has been codenamed ChlorOLED.
One of the most remarkable features of this screen ChlorOLED is that the RGB matrix would be 16 subpixels per pixelThis would far exceed the resolutions we work with today. Samsung has also reportedly chosen a 5,8-inch display for its new panel. What does this sound like? Which of the company's devices has this type of display? Unless they're thinking of a smart display for a new prototype flying car with an onboard computer, this display would be the one of the future. Samsung Galaxy Note 3, which could become one of the devices that the South Korean company uses most to innovate. Some rumors suggested that the curved flexible display I would not reach the Galaxy Note 2, but what if I would do it for him Galaxy Note 3, which would add another point of interest to this phablet, and it makes us think that the new panels ChlorOLED in which Samsung works would also be flexible, something logical given that it seems that it will be the next leap when it comes to screens.
Rumors, leaks, clues, hints, or whatever you want to call them, also drop the hint. pixel density that this new screen that Samsung is working on would have, which would be 358 dots per inch, surpassing the 328 of the iPhone 4S. What resolution would this pixel density give us? Well this is even more amazing, the iPhone 4S, having such a small screen, 3,5 inches, can easily reach a density of 328 ppi, with a resolution of 960 by 640 pixels. However, on a 5,8 inch screen, to reach a density of 358 ppi, a resolution close to Full HD if we're talking about panoramic displays, and slightly larger than 1600 by 1200 pixels if we're talking about four-thirds displays. In any case, that's brutal for a mobile phone. However, starting at 300 ppi, human eye It's not able to detect a big difference at the distance at which we usually use mobile devices, so we'll only get the most out of these features when we have it closer than normal.
The new screens ChlorOLED They would begin to be manufactured next summer, so in the fall we could see the new one presented Samsung Galaxy Note 3, although it is certain that before we will see much more data and rumors about the next phablet Samsung and its supposed new screens.

Display: from ClorOLED to a mature Super AMOLED
The concept ChlorOLED points to an array with 16 subpixels per pixel, which would theoretically boost sharpness, reduce the aliasing and would improve the color fidelity, in addition to opening the door to flexible panels. In the Note 3's commercial model, Samsung opted for a flexible panel Super AMOLED FullHD 5,7 inches and ~386 ppi, a density even higher than the 358 ppi rumors suggested for 5,8 inches. This panel shows a clear evolution of AMOLED technology: greater maximum brightness, Better visibility in the sun and outstanding viewing angles.
Samsung offers several color modes to adjust the experience. If you're looking for less saturated tones closer to the reference, the 'Movie' It is the most balanced compared to the liveliness of the 'Dynamic' mode, which impresses indoors. The contrast perceived is excellent and the tactile response remains impeccable.
Design and ergonomics: more screen, less bulk
The Note 3 grows diagonally compared to its predecessor, but keeps the size in check thanks to the leveraging frames. The whole thing is thinner and lighter, which improves grip on a large-format device. The back with finish that simulates leather provides better grip and hides scratches, preserving practical advantages such as removable lid to access the battery, microSIM and microSD.
The base debuts microUSB 3.0, wider than the traditional 2.0 but fully compatible with your previous cables. This port speeds up the file transfer with a PC and can shorten the charging time with suitable chargers. The bottom edge also houses the speaker and the recess of the S Pen. Classic Samsung buttons and an infrared port at the top for use as a remote complete the set.
S Pen and software: real productivity in your pocket
Integration with Wacom gives the S Pen remarkable precision and sensitivity. When removed, it appears Air Command, a floating menu with five shortcuts that multiply productivity:
- Action note: Recognizes handwritten numbers, emails, or addresses and allows you to make calls, emails, or contacts with one tap.
- Scrapbook: Capture content from apps or the web, tag it, and save it with links to the source.
- writing on screen: takes a screenshot and allows write down above, ideal for maps, designs or quick feedback.
- S finder: a unified search engine that indexes files, notes, and system settings, as well as integrating web search.
- Pencil Window: Draw a rectangle to open compatible apps in floating windows, making multitasking easier.
La multi-window allows you to use two apps side by side, share content between them and save favorite combinations. The mode 'a hand' collapses the interface for situations where you can't use both. TouchWiz adds Air View, lock screen shortcuts, and a built-in news reader. For the professional environment, Samsung Knox separates personal and work profiles, isolating data and applications.
Performance, battery and connectivity
The combo of Snapdragon 800 + 3 GB RAM or the Exynos variant delivers outstanding fluidity even with multiple windows and Knox assets. Navigation, the intensive multitasking And demanding games are no problem. The microSD slot ensures space for large libraries, and microUSB 3.0 speeds up copying large videos.
Battery 3200 mAh It stands out. With intensive use (extended screen time, mobile data, GPS, music, and messaging), it easily makes it through the day; with moderate usage, it can last longer. Connectivity is up to par: LTE Cat 4 when the network allows it, WiFi 802.11ac with MIMO for higher rates, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, NFC and infrared for remote control.
Camera and video
Sensor 13 SM It performs very well in good light, with fast focusing and vivid colors. Indoors and in very dark scenes, the performance is correct, although the processing can soften the detail excessively. Stabilization is by with . The recording of 4K video offers a lot of detail but takes up a lot of space; if you prioritize storage, 1080p at 60 fps It is an excellent alternative, and there is a way slow motion at 120 fps in HD. The 2 MP front camera records in 1080p for crystal-clear video calls.
If we put all of the above into context, the rumor of a ChlorOLED At 5,8 inches and 16 subpixels per pixel, it shows where Samsung was looking for its Note line, while the business model cemented a Super AMOLED very complete, with a powerful S Pen ecosystem, top-level hardware and autonomy that meets the most demanding needs.
