We're used to seeing the Samsung Galaxy Note range grow in size year after year, which is why the launch of the Galaxy Note 3 Neo has taken most of us by surprise. Samsung Poland had the honors of officially unveiling the thing, which will eventually hit the shelves in LTE+ and 3G flavors over the coming weeks.
Those hell-bent on taking home the most grunt will be right at home with the LTE+ variant of the Note 2 Neo, which boasts a hexa-core CPU – the other 3G model packing a quad-core 1.6GHz chip.
All exciting enough, but what's the point of the pair? Well, both are fitted with 5.5-inch 720p Super AMOLED touchscreens, both run Android 4.3 Jelly Bean…which is a bit of a let-down…and both feature Samsung's ever-prized S-Pen. Long story short, it's something of a low-calorie take on the full-fat Galaxy Note 3, allowing those not keen on shelling out top-dollar a chance to take home full 2013 Note functionality.
Aside from a few very minor details, you'd be hard-pressed to tell the Note 3 Neo apart from its bigger brother. It's been labeled a Note 2 in Note 3's clothing by a fair few critics, but whatever you want to call it there's no denying it's a pretty tempting recipe.
Along with the two processor types mentioned above, both come with 2GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel camera to the rear, 2-megapixel shooter to the front, 16GB of storage (expandable by 64GB) and a 3,100mAh battery. It's all packed into an 8.6mm thick frame that weighs just 162.5g, so all in all what's technically the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Mini is every bit the winner in its own right.
Which of course leads onto two pressing questions – how much will it cost and when to expect its release date here in the US?
Launch-wise, Samsung has promised shiny-new white, black and green versions of the Note 3 Neo in the US and the UK sometime this month. As for the price, it's all a bit of a mystery so we'll have to reserve judgment for now as to whether or not it's a worthy buy.
