Samsung Galaxy Note 2: 5.5" Super AMOLED, 1.6GHz Exynos quad core, 2GB RAM, AirView, Android 4.1

[Ingenieur7]

The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 was announced at IFA Berlin this week.

It features a 1.6GHz Exynos quad core processor, 2GB RAM, 5.5" Super AMOLED screen with new sub-pixel matrix, Android 4.1 Jellybean and a new S-Pen featuring many new advanced features such as AirView.

It also comes with a very generous 3100mAh Li-Ion battery. The Note 2 is even thinner than the Note 1.

The menus and gallery/list aesthetics are just amazing.

You just NEED to watch this video.

The T mobile version ROM which was revealed early this week enables the phablet to be run on Android 4.1 as well as the Jelly Bean.

Android 4.1 is Jelly Bean. This article reads as though Android 4.1 and Jelly Bean are 2 separate things.

I don't know which carrier to pick! I really like only paying $35 a month here on Virgin Mobile...

You may want to go the international route. If virgin uses a sim card you may be able to use it in an unlocked phone. I'm not an authority on that so you might want to check around the forums.

No, Virgin Mobile doesn't use SIM cards. But t-mobile does!

How could I get my hands on the international version?
Man, this is really bugging me.
I need release dates. AND I NEED THEM NOW>
