Galaxy Note II : Rumoured to be launched in October

According to Ubuntulife.com, the next Galaxy Note – Galaxy Note II is already in works and if the whole thing goes as per plan then we may see the next Galaxy Note by October this year.
Obviously all this is at present just set of rumors flying, but if we pay close attention, this is the obvious choice for the next interactive step in the advancement of already booming Samsung Galaxy Note.
According to Ubuntulife.com, the next generation of the Galaxy Note would feature a Super AMOLED 5.5-inch display with 360 pixel density. The presumed Galaxy Note II is also said to feature a faster CPU and more memory. That will be quite a boost up from the present model. As mobile processors are getting faster and more powerful, it’s anyone’s presumption what the new Note would take on under the hood, but the site states that we’re looking at a dual-core Exynos 5250 processor with 1.5GB of RAM under the hood.

October seems to be the month when the device is expected to launch, if we are to go by the tech grapevine. In four tiny months Samsung could be gearing up for the next big mobile launch, the functioning word being ‘big’. With a 5.5-inch display, taking it up a score from the 5.3-inch found on the existing model, we’re probably looking at a larger device, unless Samsung sticks to the similar dimensions and simply reduces the bezel even more, like they have on their hot new Smart LED and Plasma TVs.
So just to review -

# 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

# 8 megapixel AF/Touch focus 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

# MHL for AV out

If we look at the opportunity wise, this handset surely has the potential in it to become a realism. But at this point of time we can not guess on the pricing of Galaxy Note II. Actually, these are all rumors and the actual product may differ as per then. Currently Samsung is all full of activity with marketing and manufacture of Samsung Galaxy S III.
