At the moment, the Samsung Galaxy Note II is probably one of the best handsets you can get your hands on in the smartphone market. This behemoth of a smartphone boasts of a massive 5.5 inches of screen real estate that makes it ideal for multimedia consumption. Not only that, it also brings to the table an impressive resume with fire-breathing components under the hood. Because of these attributes, a premium price tag is attached to the retail package of the second generation Samsung phablet.
The Galaxy Note II for Verizon is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $149.99.
If this hefty price tag of the Samsung Galaxy Note II is what’s holding you back from forking over your hard-earned dinero and finally making it your next mobile weapon of choice, Verizon currently has a deal that will let you go home with its version of the Samsung Galaxy Note II at a much cheaper price point. As it stands, Big Red has already slashed the price of the phablet and has also given the greenlight to its authorized resellers to sell the handset at a heavily-discounted price point.
With this development, you can already get your hands on the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II without having to break the bank or dent your budget too much. But of course, you will still be required to sign a new two-year service agreement with Verizon if you want to take advantage of the phablet at its carrier-subsidized price point. Some people however are not too comfortable with getting tied down with a carrier for two more years but this should be negligible in this case – after all, you are getting a premium smartphone at a not so premium price point so the trade-off is clearly understandable.
As for the Samsung Galaxy Note II, the second generation Samsung phablet reached official status when it was unveiled back in the latter parts of August last year but it took a while before the handset finally made it to the shelves of Big Red in US shores. Despite that, the handset still went on to become one of the bestselling devices over at Verizon simply because of the power and beauty the Samsung Galaxy Note II packs.
The Samsung Galaxy Note II already runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for its operating system and it even comes with an S-Pen stylus to make you take advantage more of its massive screen real estate. Under the hood, the circuitry of the phablet is built around its Exynos 4411 chipset and this SoC comes with a dual-core 1.6 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor and a whopping 2GB of RAM so the performance of the handset is pretty flawless. It also comes with 16GB of onboard memory but if this is not enough, it can easily be expanded using the handset’s dedicated microSD card slot. The standout feature of the Samsung Galaxy Note II though is its 5.5-inch SuperAMOLED HD panel with a 1280 x 720 resolution while its camera department includes a rear 8MP shooter and a front 1.9MP snapper.
