While some specs for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note III smartphone have been confirmed on the vendor’s own website, the upcoming new flagship phablet is still a mystery for the most part. Samsung’s site says the Note III will feature a full HD 1,080 x 1,920-pixel display and an ARM11 processor, and earlier rumors have laid out a variety of other specs including 3GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel camera, Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and improved S Pen support. Now, a new report from Dutch site Sim Only Radar claims the phone-tablet hybrid will also feature a dedicated camera button, a xenon flash and two processor options — either a new Exynos 5 Octa chipset or a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 processor — possibly depending on region. The report also claims the Galaxy Note III will feature a 5.7-inch display; earlier rumors have been mixed, bouncing back and forth between a 6-inch panel and a 5.7-inch screen.
