Berlin: Yesterday, Samsung announced their most awaited successor to the Note, the Samsung Galaxy Note II during the Unpacked event held at IFA, Berlin. The new samsung Galaxy Note comes with loads of new features including a gorgeous 5.5 Inch Super AMOLED HD display which is 0.2 inches bigger than the current Note. The display is 1280 x 720 in 16:9. Under the hood theres a 1.6GHz quad core Exynos processor with 2GB of RAM, a big jump from the dual core Note. Theres an 8MP camera at the back, a 1.9MP front camera, 16/32/64GB storage with a microSD slot and a massive 3100mAh battery. Its 9.4mm thick and weighs 180 grams, just 2 grams more than the current Note. And yes, it runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box.
The S-pen is thicker and longer now, and theres a new feature called Air View where you hover the pen over emails, gallery or videos and get a preview without touching the screen. Quick Command lets you swipe up for shortcuts to email, search and calls, and Popup Note pops up the moment you pull the pen out.
It will be out in October across Europe, Asia and the Middle East in Marble White and Titanium Grey. No word on the price yet. We’ll try to get our hands on one as soon as it lands here, so stay tuned !!
