Another Samsung GALAXY Note II leak, the second of the day, appears to be the real deal

Is this the real thing?

Earlier Friday, a leaked photograph purportedly revealed the eagerly awaited Samsung GALAXY Note II. As usual with these things, the image wasn't 100% clear and with the device off, it wasn't a smoking gun. A couple of hours later, another picture was spotted and this time it showed both the front and back of the model and the screen displayed an image.

If the picture is genuine, it certainly looks like Samsung has taken design cues for the son of phablet from the Samsung Galaxy S III. The square corners are gone, replaced by softer rounded edges and a camera/speaker placement that copies the hottest phone on the planet. It looks as though the Samsung GALAXY Note II will be available in marble white only. The screen is supposed to measure up at 5.5 inches, slightly larger than the 5.3 inch display on the original version. There is also a slot for the S-Pen.

The Samsung GALAXY Note II is expected to be introduced August 29th at a Samsung pre-IFA event.

UPDATE: Apparently, we got our hopes up too high as it turns out that this photo is not the Samsung GALAXY Note II. This photo is merely a concept that was sent out by artist Daniel UY via Twitter on Thursday.
