During the days when the Samsung Galaxy S III hit the shelves of Verizon, the wireless carrier made waves when the variant of the Samsung flagship device that it released came with a locked bootloader – this, to the consternation of the power users and hackers in the customer base of Big Red. Verizon however indicated that it will release a Developer Edition of the Samsung Galaxy S III which is basically the same as the regular version of the handset except that it came with an easily unlockable bootloader. The developer community however had no plans of waiting for the Developer Edition and has managed to find a workaround that will unshackle the bootloader of the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III.
When Big Red announced that it will also release its version of the Samsung Galaxy Note II, the second-generation Samsung phablet, there were speculations that Big Red will also launch its version of the phablet with a locked bootloader. Lo and behold, the wireless carrier indeed repeated history because the Verizon variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note II indeed came with a bootloader (surprise, surprise).
Of course, the hardworking boys and girls of the developer communities immediately went to work in getting the code of the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II cracked so as to find a way of unshackling its locked bootloader. A couple of weeks back, the fellows over at XDA Developers have already managed to find a way to get the Samsung Galaxy Note II from Verizon rooted so the next piece of news may not be as interesting as it is supposed to be.
Similar to what it did in the case of the Samsung Galaxy S III, Samsung has confirmed that it will also release a Developer Edition of the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II 4G and the details can now be found on the official website of the Korean electronics giant. There is no confirmation as to when this Developer Edition of the second generation Samsung phablet will hit the shelves but expect to pay full price if you are interested in getting your hands on one of these babies. Be reminded though that tinkering with your device is the surest and fastest way of voiding your warranty and this holds true even if you happen to have a Developer Edition, be that of the Samsung Galaxy S III or the Samsung Galaxy Note II.
As for the Samsung Galaxy Note II, the circuitry of the phablet revolves around its Exynos 4412 Quad chipset and this SoC brings into play a quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor clocked at 1.6 GHz and a staggering 2GB of RAM. The handset comes with 16GB of onboard storage but a user can still have this expanded using the dedicated microSD card slot of the Samsung Galaxy Note II. In terms of its display, the Samsung Galaxy Note II comes with a humongous 5.5-inch SuperAMOLED HD panel with a 1280 x 720 resolution while its camera department boasts of a rear 8MP shooter and a front 1.9MP video call and self-portrait snapper.
