With some brick-and-mortar retailers discounting their consumer-electronics for the annual madness that is Black Friday, extremely limited quantities and long lines will create some frustrated customer experiences. However, online retailers are offering phones like the Samsung Galaxy Note II in multiple color choices at online wireless stores for the Black Friday one day sales that take place in land-based retail stores across the United States. With plentiful quantities and the ability to purchase your brand-new ATT Galaxy Note II from the privacy and comfort of your home on your favorite PC, this holiday season is already looking bright.
The Galaxy Note II was the first smartphone manufactured by South Korean Samsung electronics to provide the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system access out-of-the-box. That OS includes the upgraded Google Now contextual search engine and virtual personal assistant, improved camera functionality, quicker and smoother speeds and better graphics capabilities. Simultaneous voice and data access is capable on the T-Mobile network, with that wireless service provider promising speeds of up to 42 MB per second.
The S Pen smart stylus allows you to take messages or directions in your own handwriting, without interrupting a voice call. You can also browse the web or send e-mails while simultaneously watching your favorite video clips and movies, and do it all on a 5.55 inch screen that is the largest found on any smartphone. A layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 2 protects that display against scratching and chipping, and the 16 to 9 aspect ratio allows for true HD viewing.
Resolution on the Galaxy Note II runs to the extreme high end of the mobile marketplace at 720 x 1,280 pixels, delivered at 265 pixels per inch. That Super AMOLED screen employs more than 16 million different colors for visual displays, and standard capacitive, multitouch gestures are supported. Up to 15.0 hours of talk time are delivered from a single battery charge, with the quad core central processor clocked at 1.6 GHz. It is part of a Samsung Exynos 4 (4412) microchip package which also includes an ARM Mali-400 MP4 (Quad-Core) graphics processor.
The handset contains 2.0 GB of RAM system memory and 16 GB of built-in storage, with a microSD slot allowing for storage expansion. A Stereo FM radio with RDS and built-in music player joins a YouTube video player in the multimedia package on board the T-Mobile Galaxy Note II. And a rear facing 8.0 megapixel camcorder provides video capture at 1,080P HD resolution, joining a front facing 1.9 megapixel chat cam in the camera combo.
You can purchase the Samsung Galaxy Note II for ATT at a reduced price tag now starting at $239.99.
