unlocked, unlike many Galaxy smartphones. However, the company has not released
any official press note or possible availability details of the device, yet.
The alleged Galaxy Note 3 dual-SIM is powered by Qualcomm
Snapdragon 800 processor much like the N9005 version of the device. Other
specifications of the device are expected to be similar to the single-SIM
variant of the Galaxy Note 3, expect the dual-SIM support features.
The South Korean major officially unveiled the Galaxy Note 3
phablet at the sidelines of IFA 2013 in Berlin. It comes with a 5.7-inch
full-HD Super AMOLED display. The Galaxy Note 3 includes a 3GB of RAM and a

charges through a Samsung service partner if the device is used outside the
region it’s meant for and had not been used with a local SIM of that region.
