A 6.3-inch Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is looking ever more likely, with the official Samsung Galaxy S4's Game Pad page talking about the bigger screen-size.

That, of course, suggests that Samsung's next generation Note will be bringing us a bigger screen, in line with previous rumours emerging from Korea.

The Galaxy Note range has been divisive for many, due to its size, but as well as attracting a big group of fans in the UK and US, it has also been a smash hit in Asian territories.
