Samsung launches Hexa Core Galaxy Note 3 Neo LTE+ and Quad Core Note 3 Neo

We had shared the rumors of the upcoming launch of Galaxy Note 3 Neo device when Galaxy Grand Neo went official. While we were expecting a single device, comes out that Samsung decided to give us a double surprise by launching two devices – namely the Galaxy Note 3 Neo and Note 3 Neo LTE+. Both these devices have been made official by Samsung Poland.

As the name of these handsets tells us, the only major difference between these two is that the Note 3 Neo LTE+ supports LTE+ (LTE Cat 4) as a connectivity option while the Note 3 Neo supports only 3G networks. The other (minor) difference is that of the processors that power these devices. Note 3 Neo LTE+ is powered by the long rumored Exynos Hexa-core processor, where the two A15 cores (more powerful) are clocked at 1.7 GHz while the four A7 cores (battery friendly) are clocked at 1.3 GHz.The Note 3 Neo, on the other hand, has a 1.6 GHz Quad core processor.

While the performance of both these phones should almost be the same, Exynos Hexa-core processors in Note 3 Neo LTE+ should theoretically give better battery life than the processor present in Note 3 Neo. The battery advantage the Note 3 Neo LTE+ holds in the processor section might fizzle out considering that operating the phone on LTE+ networks would be a major battery drainer. So, it is too early to say which of these phones will give a battery backup.

Both Note 3 LTE+ and Note 3 Neo borrow their design from Galaxy Note 3, thus retaining the Faux Leather back and the iconic S Pen stylus. Let’s jump to the specs section of the Note 3 Neo LTE+. (I’m skipping the specs of Note 3 Neo as I’ve already told you the differences and having studied DBMS in my previous semester, I hate redundancy :P)

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo LTE+: Technical Specs

  • 5.5 inch display with 720p resolution (267 pixels per inch)
  • Exynos Hexa Core processor with four A7 cores at 1.3 GHz and two A15 cores at 1.7 GHz
  • 2 GB RAM
  • LTE+ Support
  • 16 GB Internal storage
  • 8 MP Primary Camera, 2 MP Front Camera
  • Android v4.3 Jelly Bean (Update to KitKat expected later on)
The phones are expected to be rolled out globally next month i.e. February. We shall keep you informed about any pricing details of the phone. Given the specs of these phones, these might be priced similar to Galaxy S4 – Note 3 Neo LTE+ will obviously be priced more than the Note 3 Neo.
