With IFA 2013 approaching, rumours surrounding the upcoming Galaxy Note 3 are flying thick and fast and the latest suggests its camera will be capable of recording Ultra HD video.
An "industry official" told of the camera boost, claiming that the phone-cum-tablet will be capable of recording in 200 million pixel resolution.
The thinking is that being able to shoot home movies in 4K will encourage Note 3 owners to upgrade to an Ultra HD ready Samsung TV too.
Ultra unlikely
We're not convinced that the new class of smartphones about to be unleashed in Berlin will come toting 4K snappers simply because phone memories are not up to the task yet.
Video content of that quality will see your phone overburdened before you can say sharper-than-sharp picture quality.
But it's not the first word we've heard of a handset coming with UHD smarts: the oft-touted Sony Xperia Z1 (previously known as Honami and also potentially billed as the Xi) is said to boast a 20MP camera with video shooting resolution of 4000 x 2000.
Samsung is also said to be giving audio quality a bit of a boost on the Note 3, according to the leak, with 24-bit playback smarts coming aboard.
Given that the source of the Note 3 rumours is the dodgily Google Translated word of an "industry official", we're not exactly staking our lives on the device coming with a 4K snapper.
However, we should find out for sure next week - a Samsung official today confirmed that the Note 3 will be unveiled on September 4 alongside the Galaxy Gear smartwatch.
