At 6.3 inches, the Galaxy Note III will blur even more the lines between smartphone and tablet.


Just when it looked like smartphones couldn't get any bigger before officially becoming tablets, the latest stories emerging from South Korea suggest that Samsung is about to push the definition of 'phablet' even further with its upcoming Galaxy Note III.

According to the Korea Times, the new smartphone-cum-tablet will have a pocket-bursting 6.3-inch OLED display when it is unveiled in mid-2013.
