The article states this is 'confirmed' but of course take it as you will....it does sound reasonable of course.

It's the same source (a Korean Times affiliate) that originally confirmed it at 6.3". And Samfirmware, the number one purveyor of Samsung gossip, said the SGS4 was going to be exclusively S-600 and LCD which we know it's not. When a device is months away rumors are even less credible. Although with the SGS4 being 5” and shorter (based on cases seen at CBIT) 5.9” in a similar footprint to the Note II kind of makes sense.

5.9 does sound reasonable, and if the N3 follows the S4 , yes, OCTA International and Snapdragon for the USA.

I think they're going a bit too far by making it bigger.
I can use the Note 2 fine in my hands, but it seems like 5.5inch is the max I would want. Reaching the top left corner takes a bit more effort than any other part of the screen. My hands are large compared to almost all of my friends. Note 2 fits in my pockets just fine, but I do have some pants where it sticks out because their pockets are slightly too small. Women tend to have a big problem with this phone because women's pants have super small pockets (it should be a crime to make them so small).

I read somewhere that it is 5.9 inches with no hardware buttons. So if they shrink the bezel a bit, it won't be much larger than the note 2. Seems reasonable.

Finally they understand that 6.3 wont benifit them. Samsung has become wise somehow.

It will most propably have 5.7" screen, since that's enough for screen upgrade but can still be smaller by dimensions.

They shouldn't increase the size. In my opinion 5.5 is the best..

It will almost for certain be larger that 5.5, just the nature of the 'game'...BUT they will be a time in the not to distant future that they will have to stop playing on 'bigger is better'...

Note II is bigger than Note I but it feels and looks smaller because of better design. If they can magically do that again then I'm all for it.

Guys, I had a Note I before my Note II - and I really miss the bigger screen, even though everything else is better. It's a shame this one will ONLY be 5.9".

Nice, even bigger screen but I'm pretty sure there's going to be complaints from people that can't fit their Note III in their pockets ...
