hi I'm Kareem levy welcome to rumor has it the show that rounds up the week's biggest tech rumors you can vote on what you think about the rumors too in the interactive player if you're watching on cnet this week is all about samsung phone rumors plus there's a little something from youtube that could make music lovers rejoice let's get started first up if you missed all the black friday and cyber monday deals and didn't get your hands on a galaxy note 3 you might be in luck on scoring a cheaper version of the big phone if you just wait a little bit longer an unnamed insider told blog site Sam mobile that the lower-cost note 3 light will appear at Mobile World Congress and will reach consumers in February or march no specifics were mentioned beyond its availability in black and white colors but then some sneaky sneaks found shipment records for model number sm n 7505 which could be the note 3 light or it could be something else the records show that sammy is testing versions with screen sizes of 5.4 9 inches and 5.7 inches which is the size of the current no three previous rumors suggest that the phone screen would be LCD instead of AMOLED and the camera would be eight megapixels instead of 13 that sounds about right for a light version of a phone would you be interested in a light version of the note 3 how much would you spend let me know in the comments next and even more samsung news korean site et news is reporting that the samsung galaxy s5 will start production in january just 10 or so months after the release of the galaxy s4 and according to industry sources the phone could be released as early as februari or march alongside the galaxy gear to watch and as we just mentioned the note 3 light the phone could either be available in a plastic case or a more premium model with a metal body and will come loaded with a 64-bit processor three gigs of ram a 16 megapixel camera and a huge battery to power a 5 inch flexible display I know I know it seems kind of weird that a company would release a new flagship phone not even a year after its other flagship phone but let's remember that this is Samsung we're talking about it does what it wants when it and whenever you buy now is going to be obsolete in six months anyway and finally according to a string of code in its Android app YouTube might be poised to release an ad free subscription service called music pass the code which was found by the blog android police apparently reveals background music to keep playing while you use other apps uninterruptedly back so no ads and offline play so you can watch videos and listen to music while not on Wi-Fi without going over your data allowance a billboard report from October says that there'd be both a free and a premium service and it would allow you to stream full albums as for pricing the company could be looking at ten dollars a month for the premium version which is what you pay for other competing services like Spotify and my favorite Rhapsody google offers a subscription music service called all access but it's been struggling to gain traction youtube on the other hand which is owned by google has a huge music-loving user base so it could be a force to be reckoned with what do you guys think would you sign up for a YouTube subscription what if you never had to watch a commercial ever again I think that's totally worth ten bucks do you do you use Spotify Rhapsody or one of the others don't forget to vote in our poll and leave a comment that's our show everybody please share your rumors at rumor has it at cnet com or call us at 1 800 750 cnet and tweet us and tune in next week for more tech rumors
