EXCLUSIVE: Galaxy Note 2 Confirmed

Mabaet · Jun 28, 2012

Will have 5.5" Inch Screen... but the the body will be narrower than the note1. Can you imagine the bezel of that?

.

The design is said will be inspired by Galaxy S3.

Even more interestingly, the release date of the Note 2 has been moved forward to September, rather than the previously rumored October. The reason for the switch is Samsung's desire to bring the Note 2 to the market before Apple releases the iPhone 5 in October, thus stealing some users from the Cupertino-based company.

Galaxy Note 2!

Here's a quick mock-up how the Note 2 MIGHT look judging from this new information.

PaxtonPetty · Jun 28, 2012

Honestly, I already love the design of the Note first gen.

Omar Days · Jun 28, 2012

I'll be all over that in September

animal47 · Jun 28, 2012

That's my new phone sorted for when my contract is up then.

JoshShepherd · Jun 28, 2012

Probably won't bother getting it straight away as I love the square design of the note and I can't see much being different. Some 'Changes' to the camera that you'll never notice, slightly improvement on RAM and a slightly faster processor. The only thing I like about the S3 is the touchwiz but looked at a lot of comparisons and most reckon the Note is better than the S3 anyway.

So it should be released with JB?

martyjward · Jun 29, 2012

I think the biggest improvement Samsung should be aiming for is better battery life, and this is the biggest downside of the Note (not that I would change mine for anything else)

This seems to be more a styling thing, unless the battery life is significantly improved, I see no reason to upgrade for myself.

bonerp · Jun 29, 2012

hmmm thats an original mock up!

The note isnt stylish - it needs some design and better hardware. Maybe a black version would look more professional. The S3 look is a bit too 'kiddy'...know what I mean?

animal47 · Jul 28, 2012

So is there a confirmed release date for the note 2 yet, my current contract is up soon and i want to get one pre-ordered.

Hopefully it will be but I doubt it will be shipped with jelly bean. I'm sure some dev will have a working jelly bean port for when after the device is released.

AntimonyER · Jul 28, 2012

The difference for me will be if VZW offers it

BrendenMack · Jul 30, 2012

If the Note 2 has a louder speaker I will have to get it, because the speaker on the Note 1 is no way loud enough for notifications, ringing and alarms.

Perhaps they could also ditch the metal bezel to get the weight down a bit because it is the weight of the note not its size that is a problem.

Oh and a camera that is better in low light would be cool too

AS STATED ABOVE....."" Will have 5.5" In. Screen... but the the body will be narrower than the note1. "".........Well personally, I use the phone "mostly" in the portrait mode. Sooo, if the new phone will be narrower, then it actually becomes a smaller phone (side to side), therefore negating the fact that diagonally it is bigger.

Vipfreak · Aug 1, 2012

Meh, I'm good with my Note 1. :hugs it:

JunBringer · Aug 1, 2012

I just want my 800p

+1 Surely Verizon will get the Note 2 since we were shaffted on the original Note. What ever happened to the Journal ? :rolleyes:

What's the normal timeline between a new phone announcement to them being available in the shops.

That can vary greatly, Samsung has been trying to do a better job though. I would expect it to be released within 1-2 months after the unveiling. Likely in October, just like the original Note.

Now for US variants that's a completely different question. T-Mobile is just barely getting the original Note, and AT&T got it last February. So I wouldn't expect it in the states for several months. Unless they pull a simultaneous release, which was done with the Galaxy S 3.

Zenstrive · Aug 3, 2012

we'll know August 29

darkmav · Aug 9, 2012

My Galaxy Note was stolen recently

..I am from India.

Now, I don't know whether I should wait for the Note 2 or get the same one again...any suggestions?

Zenstrive · Aug 9, 2012

Wait for Note 2.

Bodestone · Aug 9, 2012

Definitely wait I would say. The processor is supposed to be a vast improvement as is the GPU for speed, apparently at little or no extra power usage.

Also the 2 is likely to sport Android upgrades to later versions than the first.
