There’s a huge 3GB of RAM included on the phone as well as 64GB of storage space. Samsung has also created a 32GB version, both models support microSD storage expansion.

The South Korean company has upped its game when it comes to the camera specs, loading the Galaxy Note 3 with a rear-facing 13MP camera capable of shooting 4K video at 30fps.

The S Health, Samsung Smart Scroll and Samsung Smart Pause are all present and accounted for. Because this is part of the Note family, the S Pen stylus is back again and can be used with a variety of features on the device.
