According to Korean publication ETNews, Samsung has high expectations from the upcoming Galaxy Note 3 Lite – the South Korean corporation expects the Galaxy Note 3 variant to account for over 30% of all Galaxy Note 3 sales.

It’s likely that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Lite will have a smaller price tag than the original Galaxy Note 3. This means that customers that wanted to get a Galaxy Note 3 but didn’t due tot he high price, are likely to buy the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Lite. The original Galaxy Note 3 phablet is available for $300 with a two year contract and for $700 off contract on the vast majority of carriers.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Lite is rumored to be equipped with a similar display of 5.68 inches as the original galaxy Note 3, only it won’t be an AMOLEDm but an LCD. The Galaxy Note 3 Lite will also feature the same S-Pen functionality and an 8 MP camera sensor instead of the 13 MP camera sensor of the original Galaxy Note 3. These are still high end specs, but a bit lower than the original Galaxy Note 3. The Galaxy Note 3 Lite will also see a downgrade when it comes to CPU, internal storage and RAM. Expect the same downgrade from the Samsung Galaxy S4 to the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini; the mini variant of the Galaxy S4, was released with a qHD Super AMOLED display, a 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 CPU, 8 GB of internal storage and 1.5 GB of RAM, with microSD support for up to 64 GB, an 8 MP rear camera sensor, a 1.9 MP front camera and a 1,900 mah battery. While it was a downgrade from the original Samsung Galaxy S4, Galaxy S4 mini’s specs are still considered high end and it is described as “compact yet extremely powerful”.
