It is highly likely that Samsung will unveil the successor to the Galaxy Note 2, widely named as the Note 3, at the Unpacked event. Rumours have been going around about the 4 September announcement. An unnamed industry insider revealed to Android Geeks that the Galaxy Note 3 will be introduced at the Unpacked event, just before the 2013 IFA event in Berlin. The Unpacked event will be part of IFA 2013, a press show to be held on the first day of the Berlin-based trade fair.

The Galaxy Note 3 is rumoured to be powered by either an octa-core Exynos 5420 or quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor, paired with 3GB of RAM. The New Note is expected to feature a 1080p screen ranging from 5.7in to 6in. It will have a high resolution 13 megapixel camera sensor with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS). The device will have LTE-A (LTE-Advanced) connectivity.

Besides, the next Note is expected to run Android 4.3 out of box, with an improved TouchWiz user interface (UI). It will also have S Pen functionality, although it is unclear if the S Pen will be the same as in the Note 2 or even better, according to Sammobile.

There is also speculation that Samsung could announce its first SmartWatch at the similar unpacked event.
