High-resolution images of Samsung Galaxy Note 3’s 5.7 inches screen got leaked online

No one could deny that Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has got quite a large amount of concern in the market. The rumors about Samsung Galaxy Note 3 smartphone have been lasting for months, until Samsung officially confirmed the Sep. 4th release event. Just like Apple, who is always trying to keep their new product as top secret, Samsung is also hiding all the details of Galaxy Note 3 from the public. However, it would appear that secrecy has become an increasingly elusive target these days for Samsung. With IFA2013 just around the corner, leaks are becoming more and more common.

By summing all the reports, leaks and rumors, while we think we know plenty about the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, the looks of the device itself have been the one area where Samsung has managed to keep the lid firmly shut. There’re plenty of prototype devices, but we haven't seen the actual device just yet. Now, this has changed at least partially, several high-res images of Samsung Galaxy Note’s 5.7 inches screen display have been leaked online. These pictures are from some supply chain in China, who claimed to show us the right screen display that Samsung would assemble on its Galaxy Note 3.

Top 10 Android Apps and Tips That Will Speed up Your Android Device

With news of the introduction of Android 4.3 some of you certainly have something exciting to look forward to, as the update makes its way around the globe. While this is a time of joy for some, do not be surprised if the next iteration of Google's OS isn't getting everyone as excited – for many it's a reminder of their own troubles with Android. To put it bluntly: only 38.9% of all Android users are running a version of Jelly Bean. That means, roughly speaking, some 500 million devices are missing out on all the performance improvements that versions 4.x and above bring to the table. What's more, if your device is among the ones left out, it's usually the case that your device is also probably running on some aging hardware.

With a userbased edging on the billion, making sweeping statements for all of the Android ecosystem would be a gross oversimplification. There is one thing that we dare postulate, though: everybody hates lag, even those of you running Google's latest and greatest. Hundreds of millions downloads of apps promising to boost your device back to its former glory or simply keep it in good shape are an objective indication of that.

Most of you have come across such apps, many have them installed as you read this. As you have probably figured by now – no one-click solution exists. As always, if you want good results, you have to roll up your sleeves and get a little dirty. The guide below is aimed to be fairly simple, but there's also something for the more adventurous of you.
