Samsung Galaxy Note II might have the quad-core processor of the Galaxy S III, clocked at 1.6GHz

If that is the case,it will be the next benchmark king.

I hope it carries 1080p or an RGB one.
the S2 and Note had different clock speeds and screens, added with a stylus.

i'm on a 'what if' theory here that, different clock speeds and screens will also be the differentiating factor of the S3 and Note II... and the stylus...

with that Exynos, Clock speed won't matter much to me as long as a big battery powers it up, I hope it carries a 3000mAh.

Using the 4412 again would mean no LTE on this device. Bad move Sammie.

If the story comes out true then it might not be a good upgrade from the N7000. It will just look like a jumbo S3. I might wait for the LG eclipse or HTC ville or the next nexus device.

As for screen resolution, 1280x720 pixels is shown
so it is rgb and 16:9
orginal note was 1280x800
so orginal 5.3 is not that smaller than 5.5 because of different proportions

A total let down again, just like S3 when it is introduced? Lol. I expect it to sell 15 million units..

speak for yourself PA,
Continuing to use the 4412 (though it IS massivly powerful) would be a complete letdown. Samsung promised A15's by the end of the year. Also, A15's bring integrated LTE, so that means no more trade outs with Crapdragon chips.... and for us in America, thats a pretty substantial change in processing power.

The screen improvements are always welcome, but the chip switch out or lack there of is going to be the biggest deciding factor.

If it's gonna follow s3's footsteps we might end up using it with a stick with a couple of leaves on and a cute little worm, instead of a stylus. Talking about inspired by nature lol

Not be a party-spoiler, but if Samsung manage to get RGB layout on the GN2, what explanation would they have for the display's life after their statement that the pentile layout on GS3 was for the better display life?

Sweet...now need a SA Plus display...and I'll open my pocket for any 3 digit price :)

The 2 questions I have are: 1. Will they debut the US and Intl versions at the same time and 2. What will the pricing points be because I didnt like the $300 price for a 2yr AT&T contract. Im also assuming that Samsung will have more networks available for the Note II (Verizon and Sprint)

We'll have to wait and see.

Firstly, IMO, some of the information here must be inaccurate: I doubt Samsung would opt for a lower resolution on a bigger screen, even though the sharpness is made better by the RGB matrix. Nevertheless, 1680x1050 should be a must with this screen size, preposterous that my GALAXY S3 sports the same resolution as this supposed "revolutionary" device.

Secondly, they should slap on an Exynos 5 5250 Dual-Core, 2GHz, based on A-15 architecture, sports a MONSTER MALI 604 GPU, and it's basically designed for tablets with higher resolution, which would make it ideal for this phone. Rumor has it that this CPU was going to release with the next gen galaxy tab with the 2560x1600 resolution, which I hope Sammy will announce quick.

Third, there must be 2GB of RAM on here, I don't know this whole 1.5GHz stunt they are pulling but it's unacceptable that an S3 be superior to this phablet in any aspect.

I also think this should be priced at a premium, maybe 250$ - 300$ , because with the right specs this could be a beast of a device, and people shouldn't just scream cheaper cheaper, if they understood the level of performance, the premium price should feel like a steal. I compare this phone to getting a GAMING PC instead of an Xbox.
