[Rumor] Thin Body and 5.5" Display Confirmed for Samsung Galaxy Note 2; Coming Sept.

[dgstorm]

According to some insider sources over at GSMArena, there are some newly confirmed details regarding the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. First, the Galaxy Note successor will indeed be thinner, and in fact will have a body-style design that is inspired by the new Galaxy S III phone. Additionally, the display size is supposedly confirmed to be the rumored 5.5 inches, even though the actual width of the device will be slightly smaller than the OG Galaxy Note. Above is a pretty good mockup picture of what the device might look like.

There was one more piece of tantalizing intel. The phone's launch date has apparently been moved forward to September instead of October. Apparently, Samsung wants to try to beat Apple's iPhone 5 to market in order to steal some users away from them. Of course, we have heard rumors that Apple may have recently moved their iPhone 5 launch window to September as well, so does this mean that Apple and Samsung will start playing hopscotch with their release dates now?

No other rumored specs of the device (like the 2 GB of RAM, and a new Exynos 5250 chipset) were confirmed at this time.

All I'm going to say is this:

If Apple starts pushing their phone releases up they're showing that Samsung and Android are actively pressuring them. Pressure leads to hasty work and hasty work leads to bugs. The cracks in iOS will start showing. That will make Android look even better and sales will increase further.

The walled garden may well be showing the signs of neglect and decay we've been predicting for years.

WANT! lol

True that my furry friend. I believe apple is more than worried about Samsung out shining them. I've said it before, their innovator is gone. All apple has left is a few useless patents and a whole lot of the same old bland regurgitated products.

Lovely note 2 but I'm sticking with the S3 and a C Pen.

The wife would love a Note, but this is a bit late and we couldn't pull it off thanks to the craptacular upgrade-and-lose-your-unlimited-data move...

I would have probably had to wait for the Note 2, had Verizon not given me an early upgrade for being a loyal customer. I originally wasn't due for an upgrade until September, but they hooked me up & gave it to me last month. (no complaints here!)
