Earlier reports suggested Samsung
might finally ditch its flimsy-feeling plastic for better build quality on its upcoming
Galaxy Note III, but a new report suggests those plans have been scrapped.
SamMobile says that while
Samsung tested Note III designs that included a metal case and even a flexible plastic display, it ended up choosing a design that takes most of its queues from the new
Galaxy S4. As such, we can expect a plastic case and a similar shape, though the report notes that the new phablet will also feature a smaller bezel around the display just like the Galaxy S4. Despite
the phone’s rumored 6-inch display, it may still be manageable as a result. Samsung’s Galaxy Note III is expected to launch this fall.
