The second model is the Galaxy Note 3, N9005 is the 4G LTE version of the phone and comes with a Quad-Core 2.3GHz CPU – Strongly suspected but not confirmed yet, to be a Snapdragon 800 SOC – and while not confirmed on their website, should be compatible with the 4G LTE networks here in Australia. The N9005 is also being offered in Black and White for $899.95 + Shipping.
Both models will be available from the 25th of September to ship, which is when the global launch of the device is expected to take place. If you really want to get one of these you have a choice between waiting for the device to launch in Australia and purchase it outright from a carrier – none of whom has announced the outright pricing for the device – or pre-order from an importer.
