Samsung was rumored more than once to consider launching the Galaxy Note 3 with a flexible display, but the rumors have been shot down by other reports claiming that Samsung isn’t ready to mass-produce the necessary amounts of flexible displays.
The device is expected to sport a variation of the design of the Galaxy S4, with overall dimensions said to remain unchanged over the Galaxy Note 2.
