Galaxy Note 3 Will Debut New Radio Power Management System, Uses 20% Less Power And 30% Less Heat Than Existing Tech

A great thing about new flagship phones is that they usually come packed to the brim with new technologies we can get excited about. The Galaxy Note 3, announced a few days ago, is no exception. While Samsung made a point of featuring Category 4 LTE with Carrier Aggregation, which can achieve 150 Mbps, the company neglected to mention the Note 3 also includes the Qualcomm QFE1100 chipset which should significantly reduce power consumption and heat associated with the LTE radio.
Qualcomm achieves these enhancements in the QFE1100 by using a technology called Envelope Tracking. Essentially, the hardware tracks changes in the radio frequency and adjusts the power amplifier accordingly. Unlike traditional methods which perpetually run at full power, or those that only adjust the level when the radio is barely active, this technology can limit power usage only to what is necessary at the moment of transmission. This not only reduces the amount of energy consumed for communication, but also significantly reduces leftover power that is needlessly converted into excess heat. Qualcomm claims this can reduce radio power consumption by up to 20% and heat production by up to 30%, all while improving the speed and reliability of the cellular signal.​

The QFE11xx family of chipsets is actually a first step towards Qualcomm's upcoming "RF360 Front End Solution", which promises to be capable of global compatibility with all standard 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE bands. In addition to supporting virtually every cellular frequency on the planet, the RF360 is expected to reduce power consumption, improve performance, and generally reduce the radio footprint by up to 50% compared to current hardware. The RF360 isn't out yet, and hasn't even been slated for any specific devices, but Qualcomm intends to release it sometime later this year for future devices.
Considering the Note family already has a reputation for great battery life, this can only make it better. Based on Qualcomm's marketing, it seems likely that only the LTE-enabled Note 3 will be equipped with the Envelope Tracking technology.​

I'm going for White due to aesthetic look and classy, personally doesn't like Black leather, black Imo only looks good on Sony and Apple, with tempered glass, but Samsung all plastic and faux leather, which is a nono, somemore Note lll front still have the Note ll wavy lines, can be irritating.

Dirty, no problem, can always change the back cover, or stick back screen protector

But the qualcomm one has pathetic screen even though it's always on, i guess it's a trade off. Sony one seems best since it's the only one water resistant. But OS and feature wise, Gear is the best. If only they have better battery and a better camera, even price is a little high, at least there are good reasons to buy it! But anyway, wait till the price come out first.

Yup, everything depends on the actual SRP lol! Just wait and see, the idea is very good, but maybe actual usage isn't as noble as we thought, just like Siri and S Voice, TBH everyone, who actually use it? I sometimes will while driving, but most of the time I got frustrated and type it with one hand seems faster, Opps, it's illegal to do that while driving hahaha.

Hopefully Apple iWatch will be better, but too bad I doubt it will sync with Android.

Actually, Google Now has very accurate voice recognition sia. Siri is retarded la! 10secs into that thing i couldn't be bothered. Google Now is useful but if only they have better voice feedback instead of just displaying links.

Stick back SP on N3? On faux leather? My guess is as good as yours and everyone else's - is that, we don't think any accessories company will think that its feasible to make a back sp for N3.

There wasn't any for N2. Wasn't any for S3 too. Only for the recent S4, by buying the Spigen Glas.tR Slim glass sp, there is a back plastic sp provided, coz the back of S4 is plastic, plastic sp is able to use static technology to stick onto the surface.

As for me, I'm marvelled by N3's capabilities. Very tempted to buy. But N2 and S4 were, and will be my last Samsung Handphones. I'm more inclined to sticking to iPhone as a proper phone size, and the iPad mini as a proper size 7.9" device for watching my TVB when I'm outdoors. Moreover, both my multi-sim are nano sized, one for iPhone, one for iPad mini. Wanna change back to Micro sim again for ST, gotta pay $35. The last time I tried using a Noosy nanosim adaptor, my sim got stucked inside the N2.

lol i tried the adaptor for my microsim to sim for my mobile broadband router the whole thing got stuck and i use a tweezer to get it out.

Www.bestskinsever.com, apparently you didn't search good enough haha, they got the best skins for many product, with back to full body :)

I hate Apple, no way I'm gg back to iOS, iOS is a failure from Apple, their only good things are Mac.

And Apple tablet isn't 16:9, all of them are 4:3, it's better for reading but definitely a hassle to watch movies on it, all videos are 16:9 now. Ipad mini is a joke product, in terms of pixel and ram, maybe iPad mini 2 will be better but still, having to convert all videos to MP4 is a headache, even though I'm using i7 with fast conversion, still it's very troublesome. With Android, I can just drag and drop any files and watch it directly without converting, imagine I had 64gb worth of videos that needs to be converted, gosh... Also on top of that, MicroSD is so important and convenient, I can simply plug it in to my Ultrabook or any other desktop if I ever need to watch videos I transferred in it, Apple can't do this, direct from USB cable will render a temporary file transferring to the desktop, which is another hassle.

As for the Sim card thing... That's not even discussing the capabilities of Apple and Samsung phones, the Sim size is users responsibility, can't fit the picture to compare phones. Tbh I'm also using Nanosim due to the fact I came from iPhone 5 to N2 and S4. I had zero issues on putting in the Sim card, it's easy, unless you are the type of clumsy hand person, you shouldn't have any problem inserting the Sim card with adapter, oh Btw, Sim adapter, it depends what kind of quality adapter you use lol, mines not bad quality, quite sturdy, I've used some other really cheap plastic ones that tends to flop around with my nan Sim inserted.

So, I don't think you should justify the phone by types of Sim card used. Oh btw, it's very easy to get waiver for change of Sim card, couple of ways I tried, easiest will be telling your telecos you lost the phone.

Haha, at least for Samsung Galaxy phones, the position to stick in Sim card are quite easy, gently push it in and there's the "click" feeling, it's really easy to insert Sim card into Samsung Galaxy
