Samsung's flagship Galaxy Note "phablet" is about to get another sequel.
The company has announced an "Unpacked Episode 2" press event for September 4 in Berlin, just before the annual IFA electronics trade show, where it will likely announce the Galaxy Note III. An invite sent to the press says to "Note the Date" and packs a handwritten design, leaving little mystery as to what the event will be about, especially considering that the Galaxy Note II debuted at last year's IFA show at an event dubbed "Unpacked."
Rumors about the Galaxy Note III have been somewhat shaky so far. Depending on the source, the screen size could be 5.7 inches, 5.9 inches or 6 inches. In any case, the screen will almost certainly be larger than the 5.5-inch display on the Galaxy Note II, and will get a boost in resolution from 720p to 1080p.
Other rumored specs include an octa-core processor (either Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 or Samsung's own Exynos 5), 3 GB of RAM, at least 16 GB of storage and a 13-megapixel camera . Samsung has reportedly experimented with flexible displays, but it's unclear whether this technology will make it into the Note III.
