The IFA Berlin 2013 event will be the platform where many new products will be released for the first time.

New product announcements will be made by major companies, including Samsung, Sony, LG and HTC, in press conferences held on Sept. 4.

Samsung is expected to reveal its third-generation tablet – Samsung Galaxy Note 3 – and the Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatch.

The most likely rumors right now indicate that the specs will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, which includes a Krait 400 CPU an Adreno 330 GPU, with 2.3GHz. It will also introduce LTE-Advanced technology to the market.

Here are some of the other best rumored features that Android fans can likely expect with the Samsung Galaxy Note 3:

Snapdragon 800 Device

This super powerful processor features the new Quick Charge 2.0 protocol, which would allow for up to 75 percent faster battery charging on a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 handset. According to Qualcomm, a device that normally took seven hours to charge now takes just three hours with Quick Charge 2.0.

Better Battery Life

As well as faster battery charging, the device will have a better battery life too. The device's processor features Energy efficient High Performance for Mobile (HPm) technology and aSMP dynamic CPU power control, which should help to maintain efficient performance. The Galaxy Note 3's slightly larger design also allows it to have a slightly enlarged battery that should ensure the device has one of the best battery lives on the market.

According to Phone Arena, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will include a 3450mAh battery, which will help the device to have more than 10 percent more battery capacity that the Note 2.

Faster Wi-Fi, LTE

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor has updated connectivity with 802.11ac1 Wi-Fi as well as LTE-Advanced - the next generation of mobile communication standard. The device should be able to provide speeds of up to 150 Mbps.

Jelly Bean 4.3.

The latest phablet is expected to launch with Android Jelly Bean 4.3 already preinstalled. Meanwhile, its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, is expected to skip the 4.2 Jelly Bean update and jump straight to 4.3 when it becomes available

The Samsung Galaxy Gear Smartwatch is set to feature a 2.5-inch 320x320 OLED display and dual-core Exynos 4 processor. Its interface is slated to be similar to other Samsung Galaxy devices. See a leaked photo of the device here.
