You might want to skip the Galaxy Note 2
This month we’re hearing rumors upon rumors that Samsung would be releasing their second full iteration of the Galaxy Note line with a “2″ model toting an enormous 5.5-inch display – but it’s worthwhile to go ahead and skip it. We’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy Note – the primary one – because it was released, and are actually working quite actively with both the Galaxy Note 10.1 (the tablet-sized version of the device line) in addition the Samsung Galaxy S III. Because it seems, there will not be a necessity for another Samsung display size. Of course who can say this kind of thing when Samsung was creating a killing during the last couple of years in creating Android devices in numerous sizes. They started really hitting it when the began manufacturing the Galaxy Tab lineup, starting with the classic original Galaxy Note and moving as much as the ten.1-inch tablet and backtrack to the 8.9. They’ve also hit 7.7, 7.0 several times, and feature certainly moved through every inch between 3.5 and four.7 in addition. NOTE: The picture above is a ridicule up, not the true deal. That said, the designer behind the mock-up is a professional – hats off to him! Check out our reviews of the Samsung Galaxy Note (T-Mobile) Samsung Galaxy Note (International), and Samsung Galaxy Note (AT&T). And do not forget our review of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 besides! The first Galaxy Note has a 5.3-inch display and a chassis that isn’t too thick, made to work with HSPA+ radios at its fastest, not quite hitting up the arena of LTE. We assumed that this was because LTE components made the device a little bit fatter than Samsung would have liked it – though the Galaxy Nexus proved us wrong with its own slight weight gain – and the LG Optimus U can have been another clue with its future exclusivity. That is not confirmed, needless to say, but this sort of similar form factor is definitely set to cannibalize the market Samsung has all but cornered at the moment. The Samsung Galaxy S III also presents a little a conundrum for you potential future Galaxy Note 2 purchasers – would you like that next-gen device, or would you like this already fabulous smartphone? Have a peek at a hands-on we did with the Galaxy Note (original) and the Galaxy S III vs each other before the Galaxy S III was released earlier this year. Now with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, we’re likely going to look everything we had with the unique Note, but with a bigger display in addition to some Galaxy S III flair. We’re hoping to peer all of the following bits of fabulousness that came with the Galaxy S III line for one reason: if Samsung is ready to continue to bring about Samsung-unique features reminiscent of each of those, they’ll have an Apple situation on their hands with people desirous to remain “in the family” – aka brand loyal. In fact after we say “we hope” it’s more of a hope for Samsung in the event that they need to continue to rise available in the market ranks.

In the event that they aren’t aboard, I’ll question Samsung’s ability to stick confident of their own software. That’s no joking matter!
