Samsung is about to show the entire world the next most popular selling phablet device in just a few days and even though it seems that all of the information regarding the phablet has been suggested, there is one little bit of confirmation that just hit the web. Earlier rumors suggested that Samsung was going to stuff a whopping 3GB of RAM into the new device, but a new screenshot of a benchmark rest shows that the device will only have 2.5GB of RAM pre-installed.
The leaked images come from a Twitter account that has leaked plenty of good information about smartphones, phablets and tablet in the past and according to the leak, it looks like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 model number SM-N9005, tested quite well, but it was the screenshot of the specs that is getting the most attention. On the “About Device” screenshot, you can clearly see that the Galaxy Note 3 is going to arrive with a super fast, quad-core processor clocked at 2.3GHz and 2.5GB of RAM. As one source points out, the device could have 3GB of RAM, but about 512MB could be reserved for something else, like keeping things moving at an efficient pace.
The screen shot is also indicating that the new device will feature a display resolution of 1920×1080, which is exactly what has been rumored ever since the day the Galaxy Note 2 showed up with a 720p resolution last year. Even though the two images were leaked from a reliable source, they could be faked and since it will only be a couple of days before Samsung announces the device, consumers might as well wait before they freak out about the RAM difference.
There are only a couple of specs that mean something to those that are looking for the next device worth spending money on and those are the display size, resolution and processor speed along with RAM. Once you get passed those specs, you might want to check into the camera size and capabilities, internal memory, microSD card specs and whether the battery is worth anything. Consumers are picky and not that half a gigabyte of RAM is all that much, but they are going to want to know where the RAM is being used and if it is efficiently being used at that.
