Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Camera Details Come Into Focus

Published

on

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is rumored to arrive in late 2013 with a better camera than the aging Galaxy Note 2. Rumors often point to a 13MP camera, similar to what the Galaxy S4 uses. This morning a new photo appeared online with details that point to it originating on a prototype Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with a 13MP camera.

Multiple sources claim the Galaxy Note 3 camera will use a 13MP sensor, and this is the second alleged Samsung Galaxy Note 3 photo to show a 2322 x 4128 resolution that points to a 13MP sensor. One source claims to know nearly all the Galaxy Note 3 specs.

Some of these rumors claim the Galaxy Note 3 will feature an optical zoom and optical image stabilization, but from these two samples impossible to tell if either feature is on board. Still, there is mounting evidence that the Galaxy Note 3 will use a 13MP camera, leaving the 8MP sensor to the Galaxy S4 Active and the 16MP sensor to the Galaxy S4 Zoom.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Sample Photo (Alleged)

The photo below includes metadeta embedded in the image that points to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. This alleged Galaxy Note 3 photo sample doesn’t show anything too exciting. That said, Samsung smartphone photo leaks showing off an office somewhere in Asia is basically a right of passage these days.

The potential Samsung Galaxy Note 3 photo is on Picasa at the time of this writing, but like many leaked sample photos it will likely disappear shortly. The first alleged Samsung Galaxy Note 3 photo sample was taken offline very quickly. Leading up to the Samsung Galaxy S4 launch, we saw sample photos appear a month before the reveal, which were pulled quickly.  The screenshot below shows the Exif data for the alleged Galaxy Note 3 photo sample, including camera details and a model number.

The model number listed here, SM-N900 is not the same as the earlier leak, but new details claim the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 model number will be SM-N900, or at least variations of this.

    For a “photographer” you claim yourself, assuming “8 megapixel and not 13”, how do you prove that with you eyes?

      By zooming in and out we can tell the quality of the picture , not the exact pixel of the camera, If a picture is taken with a quality camera, even if you pinch in or out , still the picture won’t be blurry or it will be crystal clear.
