Samsung Galaxy Note II: Back in the day, smartphones with 4.3-inch displays were already considered massive. This shocking concept of a handset sporting a massive screen real estate was shattered when Samsung came out with the original Samsung Galaxy Note last year. The smartphone-buying public however was initially not enamored with the device because of its humongous 5.3-inch display but as soon as they realized the advantages of its bigger screen add to the fact that the first generation Samsung phablet came with very impressive components under the hood instantly turned the original Samsung Galaxy Note to a hit.
The Samsung Galaxy Note II is available for a reduced holiday price now starting at $99.99.
The Samsung Galaxy Note however is already out the door and headed for retirement since its successor, the Samsung Galaxy Note II, has already made its debut in the shelves. Unlike its predecessor though, the Samsung Galaxy Note II did not have to contend with doubters and naysayers because our smartphone-crazed brethren already know what an impressive beast the second generation Samsung phablet was. When you come to think of it, the Samsung Galaxy Note II’s specs sheet is a bit more powerful compared to the Samsung Galaxy S III, the flagship device of the Korean smartphone and tablet manufacturer.
This is the reason why the Samsung Galaxy Note II came with a very hefty premium price tag when it made its debut in the shelves a couple of months back. Despite that, the phablet still went on and racked a 5 million sales number – a feat that only solidified its position as the part of Samsung’s one-two punch combination (together with the Samsung Galaxy S III) in its bid for smartphone market domination.
If you have been holding back because of the hefty price tag of the Samsung Galaxy Note II, the holiday season not only brings cheers to all people but great deals for smartphones as well. In fact, the Sprint version of the Samsung Galaxy Note II can now be had at a much cheaper price point because the Now Network has already given the green light to its authorized resellers to sell the second generation Samsung phablet at a much cheaper price point making it more affordable than ever. Of course, those interested in making the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II 4G their next mobile super-device of choice will be required to sign a new two-year service agreement with the Now Network to take advantage of this deal.
As for the Samsung Galaxy Note II, the handset is already running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for its operating system and this is powered by the device’s Exynos 4412 Quad chipset.
