Samsung Galaxy Note 3: Release Date and Price Roundup

From its internal specs to new S Pen features, Samsung told us nearly everything there is to know about its Galaxy Note 3– except for when we can get our hands on one. Some carriers have already come forward with pricing and availability information regarding the Note 3, but there are still some details that remain a mystery.

Announced  earlier this week, the Note 3 comes with a roomier 5.7-inch 1920 x 1080 display, a faster 2.3-GHz quad-core (or 1.9-GHz octa-core) processor, and new features that build on Samsung’s existing suite of TouchWiz S Pen enabled apps. Samsung has also added a few design changes that distinguish the phablet from its predecessor, the most prominent of which swaps out the Note 2’s rounded plastic back for a new faux-leather material.

The Galaxy Note 3 is expected to land on all five major U.S. carriers in the near future, and here’s a look at what we know so far.
