Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Note 3 in 3 new accents - Rose Gold White, Rose Gold Black and Merlot Red. After some rumors, the Red and White Gold Samsung Galaxy Note 3 variants went official on Samsung Argentina website last week. Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note 3 in Jet Black, Classic White and Blush Pink colors back in September. Other specifications are similar to the old ones. All these have soft and textured-touch back cover with delicate stitching along with a S Pen stylus in a matching color. Samsung launched the Galaxy S4 initially in Black Mist and White Frost color variants and later announced that it would come in 5 new colors - Blue Arctic, Red Aurora, Purple Mirage, Brown Autumn and Pink Twilight.

Samsung reportedly working on 20MP camera modules for 2014

Posted: 02 Dec 2013 03:29 AM PST

Samsung is working on 20-megapixel camera modules for the second half of the 2014, according to a report from ET News in Korea. Samsung Galaxy S5 is rumored to feature a 16-megapixel camera with ISOCELL sensor, but the report says that it would not feature OIS since Samsung needs at least 50 million OIS modules to implement OIS in the Galaxy S5's camera module. The 20-megapixel camera module for its next-generation smartphone would use a new CMOS image sensor, and the company has partnered with Sony to supply the sensor, ETNews reveals . Samsung considered to introduce OIS for the Galaxy Note 3's 13-megapixel camera, but it has postponed it for the second half of next year.  But the 20MP sensor might feature OIS since it is expected in the second half of 2014. Samsung would use a 16-mega pixel camera module for 25% of its smartphones in 2014, revels the report. Samsung already uses a 16-megapixel sensor in the Galaxy S4 Zoom. Lack of OIS in the Galaxy S5's camera would be disappointing for Samsung fans, but the Note 4 which is expected in the second half of 2014 might feature a 20MP camera with OIS. Via
