Samsung SM-N7505 (Galaxy Note 3 Neo LTE) hits the FCC

While we still don’t know if the rumored Galaxy Note 3 Neo, aka Note 3 Lite, will be officially unveiled anytime soon (or ever), the handset made an appearance at the FCC today. More exactly, the Federal Communications Commission tested and approved the SM-N7505, which, as previously reported, should be the LTE version of the unannounced Note.

The FCC confirms the following: the Samsung SM-N7505 features LTE band 5 (850MHz - usable in South Korea at the moment, but not in the US), Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, and WCDMA 850/1900MHz. The Commission also provides an incomplete diagram of the handset, which doesn’t contradict what we saw in these photos that allegedly show the new Note.

It’s  believed that Samsung intends to market the Galaxy Note 3 Neo as a cheaper and smaller alternative to the original Note 3. The Neo reportedly features a 5.55-inch Super AMOLED 720p display, faux leather back, a brand new hexa-core Exynos processor, 2GB of RAM, 8MP rear camera with LED flash, 16GB of expandable internal memory, and a 3,100 mAh battery. Like all the other Notes in Samsung’s lineup, the Note 3 Neo should have an S Pen stylus.

Samsung might want to announce the Galaxy Note 3 Neo at MWC 2014 in late February. Is anyone looking forward to checking it out?
