Samsung Galaxy Note 2 picture revealed

An image of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has leaked online ahead of its suspected Q4 release date.

A sequel to Samsung’s 10 million-selling Galaxy Note has been on the cards for quite sometime but this is the first time we’ve got a proper look at the device.

Know Your Mobile was sent the image last night by one of our tipsters. The device in the image bears more than a passing resemblance to the recently launched Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 with its similar colouring and chic silver edging.

Our source tells us that the device will feature a 5.5-inch display, confirming earlier reports that it would be even bigger than its predecessor, but did not go into specifics about the display technology – our guess would be that Samsung will use one of its Super AMOLED setups.

The Galaxy Note 2, like the Samsung Galaxy S3, will feature a quad-core processor, presumably Samsung’s Exynos 4 Quad, as well as 2GB of RAM and Samsung’s next-generation S-Pen technology, making it one hell of an update.

There’s no word on a release date just yet but the Galaxy Note 2 is expected to launch with Android Jelly Bean sometime before the close of the year. Check out our gallery of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 to see the similarities.
