During the past few days we have been hearing a lot about Samsung’s new plans for the next iteration of their Galaxy Note. The original Galaxy Note, which was earlier criticized for its huge size for a phone, became a huge hit later on and following that Samsung is showing up the plans for the release of the Galaxy Note 2. Galaxy Note 2 has been into news mainly for the rumours that the screen size is still going to increase as compared to its predecessor. Galaxy Note 2

The Samsung Galaxy Note was a huge device for a smartphone measuring 5.3 inch diagonally, however if rumours are to be believed, Galaxy Note 2 is going to follow the same trend set by its predecessor. The next phablet will be having a 5.5 inch display as earlier reported.

As far as its camera is concerned, we were assuming that it is going to have either an 8MP or 12MP camera. However, today we learned something more about the upcoming phablet. According to MK Business News, The Galaxy Note 2 is going to have a whopping 13 MP rear end camera which will take the photography to a new level.

Samsung has always focused on mainly two things for its smartphones, which are its screen and camera. And as earlier reported the Galaxy Note 2 is going to have a pentile display which is similar to the recently released Galaxy S3 instead of the traditional RGB variant used in Galaxy SII.

There aren’t much more details about the device’s hardware, however the device is almost certain to be running on ICS and Samsung will be giving the Android 4.1 Jelly bean update as soon as possible. The Galaxy Note 2 might also include some of the innovative technologies from Galaxy S3 such as S-Beam, S-Voice, AllShare Play etc.  The Galaxy Note 2 is expected to come to the market sometime in August and we all are really excited to see it coming to the market as soon as possible. Meanwhile lets take a look at some of its rumoured specs:

Galaxy Note 2 Rumoured Specs:

  • 5.5-inch Super AMOELD touchscreen with a 1680 × 1050
  • 4G LTE, EDGE, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, NFC
  • GPS possibly with GLNONASS and a-GPS support
  • Bluetooth possible v4.0 with USB and hopefully USB-on-the-go
  • 12/ 13 megapixel AF/Touchfocus camera with full HD video recording and playback
  • A front facing camera for video calls and chats
  • Possibly a 64GB edition, along with 16GB and 32GB versions all with expandable support

Although these are just rumours, we believe some of these will surely come out to be true including the 4G LTE Technology, 5.5 inch screen etc. However for the actual spec sheet, we will have to wait for a while to see what Samsung has got to offer. Meanwhile keep checking thegalaxynote2.com for more details about the upcoming phablet from Samsung.

Galaxy Note 2:

After a huge success of Samsung Galaxy Note, Samsung is now planning to launch its sequel into the market to strengthen their dominance in the smartphone market. Samsung had already become the #1 smartphone maker in the world and with these new rumours, Samsung is looking really strong against Apple and its other competitors.

Although initially the Samsung Galaxy Note was criticized because of its humongous size, but it was still a worthy smartphone which fetched Samsung more than 7 million sales. And with that kind of success, Samsung is expected to launch a worthy successor of Galaxy Note. For the time being we have no clue what Samsung is going to name it, so we assume it to be called as Samsung Galaxy Note II.

Galaxy Note 2 Rumoured Specs:

Galaxy Note 2 Screen:

We still do not have any official information about Samsung Galaxy Note 2, however, the guys at Ubuntulife claims to have found some important details about it. The Galaxy Note became famous for its confusing size which was sometime even termed as Phablet. However, guys at ubuntulife claims that the Galaxy Note 2 is going to have even larger display. Ubuntulife claims that Galaxy Note 2 will sport 5.5 inch screen size in diagonal and will come with 1680 x 1050 pixels resolution and 360 pixel density. The new Super AMOLED Screen will use the same PenTile Matrix used in the manufacture of Samsung Galaxy S3.

Galaxy Note 2 Processor:

In Terms of power and performance, the Galaxy Note 2 is going to pack 2GHz Exynos 5250 chipset which was unveiled last year and have never been used yet. The Galaxy Note 2 will come with only two cores, which can make you think that it might not be the strongest gadget out there, but actually its not just the number of cores that drives and decides the chipset performance, there are many other elements which affect it. Being said that, the Exynos processor will be supported by 1.5GB of RAM which will certainly enhance its power and performance. But again we have been wondering why Samsung is not going for 2GB RM instead of 1.5GB?Other features include 8MP rear Camera and LTE speeds both for US and international version of Galaxy Note 2.

Galaxy Note 2 Software:

Moving towards the Software segment, the guys at Ubuntulife are hesitant to say which version of Android will drive the Galaxy Note 2. We are anticipating and hoping to see the device on Android 4.1(or 5.0), Jelly Beans, however keeping the Galaxy Note 2 release date in mind, which will be around next few months, there is a high possibility that the Note 2 runs on Ice Cream Sandwitch. Other than the normal software, Will the future Galaxy Note 2 support some of the new techs introduced by Samsung in Samsung Galaxy S3, like S-Beam, S-Voice, NFC Capabilities, Pop-up-play etc? We are not sure about all that at the moment, but we will update you as soon as we get any information about it.

Galaxy Note 2 design:

The Galaxy Note 2‘s design is expected to look pretty much similar to Galaxy S3′s design with rounded corners, infact ubuntulife has even got a picture of what new Galaxy Note 2 might look like. However this picture should not be taken very seriously because it is based on so many assumptions out there.

Galaxy Note 2 Release Date:

If you have been impressed by the rumoured Galaxy Note 2 Specs, and are wondering about its release date, well, you can expect the phablet to be launched sometime in later part of this year. Most of the market researchers are expecting a date somewhere in October, however Samsung might change it based on what time Apple releases iPhone 5.
