Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo 2.3-GHz Snapdragon version launched in Korea

Samsung has always favoured its home ground South Korea, above the rest of the world, when it comes to launching new and innovative devices. The company has done it yet again - it has launched a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo with a 2.3-GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor in South Korea.

If you recall correctly, the internationally retailed Note 3 Neo comes with a 1.7-GHz processor on a Exynos 5260 Hexa-core chipset. But, besides the processor, there isn't anything else different from the international version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo. But, the way Samsung is experimenting with the two different version of the Note 3 Neo is interesting - one has more cores, and the other has more power. Which one would you favour?

While the Samsung Note 3 Neo 2.3-GHz Snapdragon might just be a Korean delicacy for now, we hope Samsung releases an international version of the better endowed handset soon.

Samsung Plans To Launch Multiple New Smart Watches At MWC 2014

Samsung plans to launch at least two new versions of its Galaxy Gear smart watch next week at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona according to reports from USA Today and The Verge. One of the watches will run Tizen, an open source operating system Samsung is helping develop. The current Galaxy Gear runs Google's Android mobile operating system. The Tizen watch would theoretically allow the new Galaxy Gear to sync with a bunch of different devices, not just Android phones.
The original Galaxy Gear launched last fall to poor reviews. Critics panned the device for its limited capabilities, bulky design, and poor battery life.
Samsung has already said it plans to release a new Galaxy Gear along with its next flagship phone, the Galaxy S5. Those devices will officially debut on February 24 at the company's press conference at MWC.
