The latest device from the
world's top handset maker will run on Android 4.3. Unveiling the latest devices
at a trade show here, Samsung said Galaxy Gear will go on sale for USD 299 from
September 25 across the world including in India.
Note 3, whose price was not immediately known, will be available in 3G in India from September 25. The earlier version of the smartphone, Galaxy Note 2, is available for around Rs 37,000 in India.
The Galaxy Gear, which has a 1.6-inch screen and weighs 2.6 ounces, has a 1.9 megapixel camera embedded in the strap and a built-in speaker that allows users to conduct hands-free calls. Besides photos and hands-free calls, it can perform functions like instant messaging. The device, which will come preloaded with more than 60 apps, including a step-counting pedometer and S Voice, a voice-activated app akin to Apple's Siri, can however not be used for composing emails or downloading music.
The new Galaxy Note, which is slightly larger than its predecessor, is better equipped for multitasking, Samsung said, allowing users to open multiple frames at once. It also has a stylus, called the S Pen. Galaxy Note 3 has a 5.7 inch Super-Amoled screen and weighs 168 grams. It is slimmer, lighter, and more powerful. All in a beautiful design. The phone will be available in jet black, classic white, and blush pink color options. Samsung has incorporated a 13 megapixel rear camera in its Note series product. The company has incorporated Samsung Knox option in the phone which users can activate to run and store security-sensitive applications and data inside a protected folder, named 'container' by Samsung.
"The security inside the container is strengthened by system-level protection of Samsung KNOX against malware and phishing attacks as well as hacking attempts on physical devices when devices are stolen or lost...users may choose to store enterprise applications and data such as corporate email, contacts and calendar," Samsung said.
The Galaxy Note 3 has feature that will allow users to disable the phone when it is stolen or lost as well as remotely track or erase the data from lost phones.
The smartphone will come in three basic colors - Black, white and Pink, the cover design would range from colors like magenta plum to orange to coffee beans among others. Galaxy Note 3 will be available in 32GB or 64GB internal storage along with an additional microSD card slot option.
