The second version of the hybrid that is giving Samsung such good results could be on the market after the summer. Specifically, the new Galaxy Note 2 would be presented in October. Although it is only a rumor, this mix of a mobile phone, a tablet, and even a PDA would have a unbreakable display or with a quad core processor to make it work.
There has been a lot of talk about the new Galaxy Note 2. The latest, what we have here, was that it could have a 5,3-inch flexible AMOLED display. However, a Korean newspaper now claims that the technology used in the screen would not be as flexible, although almost. The Galaxy Note 2 would have a unbreakable flat display (unbreakable plane display or UBP), as a precursor to the flexible screen. Its great thinness would allow a slimmer design, leaving more space for the terminal's hardware. In its final version, the panel is protected with Gorilla Glass 2 for greater scratch resistance.
The newspaper also claims that it could be slightly larger than the 5,3 inches of its predecessor. That would put it closer to the tablet category, even though it's already the largest phone on the market. Its October release date could coincide with the appearance of other key launches, although the Galaxy Note and the iPhone are playing a role. different leagues.
What is clear is that the Galaxy Note 2 is going to be the Samsung Work Center for the final part of the year, as the Galaxy S3 has been for this first half.
On the other hand, it is taken for granted that it will take 4.1 Android Jelly Bean as an operating system, a quad-core processor, camera 8 megapixels and a battery of 3.100 mAh to hold all that machinery.
