Ahead of its launch, which is set to take place in just a few hours, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 leaked to the surface for the first time showing off its design, and its features.
Pocketnow unearthed the Galaxy Note 2 press release ahead of Samsung’s Unpacked event in Germany today and it reveals all of the details regarding the Galaxy Note 2.
The images show the Galaxy Note 2 resembling a giant version of the Galaxy S III, something that was rumored in the past. The design features curves and sports a physical home button on the bottom part of the bezel, just like the Galaxy S III.

Here is the Galaxy Note 2.
As we confirmed earlier, the device is going to sport a 5.5-inch display with 1280×720 resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio, a 1.6GHz quad-core CPU that is likely Exynos in nature and an 8MP camera on the rear and a 1.9MP up-front.
Additionally, the Galaxy Note 2 will feature Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, as we confirmed earlier today and it will also possess a massive 3,100 mAh battery that should give it sufficient battery life.
This is also the Galaxy Note 2.
As for the rest, it features a 9.4mm design, slightly thinner than the original, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB storage options, HSPA+ 21mbps connectivity, and it will apparently hit Europe in October.
U.S. release dates are unavailable at this time.
The device will also feature a new S-Pen that is longer and thicker than the original pen. It’s said that the design is much improved. There is also a new feature called Air View that, according to the press release, “allows users to hover with the S-Pen over an email, image gallery, or video to preview the content without having to open it.”
There are also several new gestures coming with the S-Pen including a new up swipe that will bring up a new navigation menu and there is also a new screen recorder feature.
All in all, it looks solid and we’ll bring you coverage live from Unpacked event in Berlin, Germany shortly.
Screen re order feature!? Holy hell that sounds cool.
WOW! This is amazing!
