EXCLUSIVE: Galaxy Note 2 5.5" screen, narrower body confirmed

By paliknight - 06-29-2012, 11:25 AM - Boxden > BX Tech


		We already knew that a successor to the wildly successful Galaxy Note is already in the works and that it might feature a 5.5" AMOLED. Now, an insider source, whom we have good reasons to trust has send us a tip, saying the screen size is now confirmed. The Galaxy Note 2 will indeed sport a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED and a design inspired by the Galaxy S III flagship smartphone. Interestingly, even though the screen size is larger than the original Note, the width of the Note 2 is actually reduced compared to its predecessor. Here's a quick mock-up we made of how the Note 2 might look judging from this new information. Even more interestingly, the release date of the Note 2 has been moved 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. The rumors of an 8MP camera with improved sensor, as well as 2 GB of RAM, along with a new Exynos 5250 chipset, featuring a dual-core ARM-15 processor remain unconfirmed at this point.

its all preference. for me 5.5 inches is just too big. im getting the s3 which is 4.8. still pretty big but doable

I'm good with 4.8
That screen is too big.

Wow an Exynos 5250 chipset. That would make it much more powerful than the GSIII. I do not want a phone this big though. What if the next Nexus has an Exynos 5250 chipset. Dang it, do I still get the GSIII.

It's not as much the fit in pockets, but more the fact that I feel weird having a huge phone in my hand...i couldnt imagine using it one handed and that's how I always use my phones 90% of the time

Looks like me being too broke for the Galaxy S3 this summer will pay off

Like someone said above, this or the next Nexus will be my phone of choice [pic]

same here. the screen is perfect for me I sold my tablet I have no use for it now. and the battery life is incredible much better than my s2's. although ever since I upgraded to ICS the phone has been a little sloppy but the lag is much improved.
