    Only yesterday we brought you exclusive information on the specs of the Galaxy Note III, while confirming its standard and LTE-enabled variants. Today, we can confirm that the Chinese variant of the Note III will have the model number SM-N9002, and is currently being tested with firmware N9002ZNUBMG7/N9002CHUBMG7/N9002ZNUBMG7. That's all we could learn from our insiders, but expect to see it come with dual SIM slots similar to the second-generation Note.

    Apart from adding support for the networks Chinese carriers use, the specs of the China variant should remain the same as the non-LTE variant (SM-N900) – a 1.8GHz octa-core Exynos 5420 processor with Mali-T628 GPU, 5.68-inch Full HD 1080p Super AMOLED display (the device's size will remain the same as the Note II despite the larger screen), 13-megapixel camera with optical image stabilization, 16/32/64GB built-in memory and a microSD slot, a 3,200mAh battery, and Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

    We'll keep you guys updated with any other information we receive in the days leading up to the expected official unveiling of the Galaxy Note III on September 4th, at Samsung's UNPACKED event.
