Samsung Galaxy Note 3 had just released their release date. As it turns out that At&t will be taking pre-orders at a price of $299 with 2 year contract and might be releasing the device on Oct 1st, 2013. T-Mobile will set the release date to Oct. 2nd, 2013. I have been waiting very long for this device to be release. This will be my first Note device. I hope it will stand up to its hype.

The spec shown on Samsung website does not show if the US market will be the Octa CPU. We are pretty sure US market will be getting the new CPU from SnapDragon 800 from Qualcomm.
