The Galaxy S4 like prototype seems to be thinner, flatter and to come with a metal band and rounded corners with a reduced bezel at the top and bottom. Also, Galaxy Note 3 is speculated to come with an unbreakable and highly durable display on the flexible prototype.

Of course, a flexible display Galaxy Note 3 paves way for more doubts, as an earlier report suggests that such a build might result in supply chain issues that might delay the handset from being a viable release. But, a flexible display from Samsung is long rumored and it is likely that the company will launch it this year as LG is planning to bring its own smartphones with such a display by the end of 2013.

Going by earlier reports, Galaxy Note 3 could boast a 5.9 inch LCD full HD 1080p display, 2GHz Exynos 5 Octa processor, 2GB RAM, 13MP rear camera, Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS, new metallic design and to also come with the iconic S Pen stylus.

As of now, Samsung has not confirmed anything about the Galaxy Note 3 and all these rumors should definitely be taken as a dose of skepticism. As Samsung released the Galaxy Note 2 in the fall of 2012, there is a good chance the company will launch the Galaxy Note 3 during the same timeframe, which could be the IFA 2013 event in Berlin.
