The Galaxy Note II has been on fire as of late, and the push back on the delivery date of the upcoming and much-anticipated Galaxy S4 has done a lot to help sales. The Verizon variant of the big-screen Note II phablet currently retails for $99 on contract and holds down the number one bestseller spot on all of Amazon. The Amazon Wireless store publishes a frequently updated Top 100 Bestselling Smartphones list, and more impressive than owning the top spot is the fact that the Galaxy Note II currently stands in three of the top five best selling smartphone slots at that respected online retailer.
The Samsung Galaxy Note II is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $99.99.
The global popularity of the Galaxy Note II definitely took analysts and supposed industry experts by surprise. When the original Galaxy Note arrived with a large 5.3 inch touchscreen, the people who supposedly knew the mobile marketplace stated that the handset was entirely too large to be accepted by the general consumer-electronics buying public. How wrong they were. That original Galaxy Note instantly became a bestseller for the carriers which provided it, and the Samsung Galaxy Note II is about to eclipse 10 million units in sales.
One of the more notable features is obviously the huge high-resolution screen, and one of the ways to use that display is to split it into two equally sized smaller windows. The powerful quad core processor then allows you to use your two “mini displays” simultaneously, and you can either carry on entirely different operations or applications on each, or integrate and assimilate the two. The True HD Galaxy Note II arrived on the Verizon network late last year, and delivers the Jelly Bean 4.1 operating system out-of-the-box.
Slim considering how big it is, the handset measures just 0.37 inches (9.3 mm) in thickness. The display mentioned earlier runs 5.55 inches and is protected by a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 2, and the Galaxy Note II launched as the first Samsung smartphone to deliver Jelly Bean pre-installed. That huge display is aligned in a 16 to 9 aspect ratio, widely regarded as the standard for HD viewing. Resolution runs 720 x 1,280 pixels, and the Super AMOLED display delivers more than 16 million different colors.
On Verizon’s 4G LTE system, the Galaxy Note II can deliver up to 15.0 hours of talk time from a single charge, nearly double the 4G industry average. An Exynos quad core CPU clocked at 1.6 GHz powers the handset, and a quad core graphics processor joins 2.0 GB of RAM memory and 16 GB of onboard data storage in the phone’s hardware profile. A microSD slot is also provided, and the rear facing camcorder of 8.0 megapixels captures video in 1,080P HD resolution.
You can purchase the Galaxy Note II at a discounted price tag now starting at $99.99.
