Vodafone UK has just confirmed that the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy Note is now available for purchase through its official retail channels. Customers can pick Samsung’s phablet up for free on select plans from £52 ($84 / €62).

The Galaxy Note 3 was officially released in more than 140 countries on September 24, but it has only hit shelves recently in some countries.

The phablet comes with a slightly larger 5.7-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display than its predecessor, but it’s sleeker and lighter.

It ships with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box and packs a powerful 2.3 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor inside.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is fully compatible with Vodafone UK’s 4G network and boasts an impressive 13-megapixel rear-facing camera with autofocus and LED flash.
