The Galaxy Note sequel will debut and go on sale on August 29 on the eve of the IFA 2012 exhibition, – reports Reuters with reference to Samsung representatives.
Literally, the representative of the Korean company stated the following: “We plan to introduce the next Galaxy Note at Samsung Mobile Unpacked in Berlin.” The event will take place two days before the IFA 2012 Home Appliance exhibition.
The new device is rumored to have an even larger 5.5-inch screen than its predecessor, a dual-core 1.7 MHz processor and a 12 megapixel camera. Recall that the original Note was presented to the general public a year ago at the IFA.
If the announcement is not a rumor, which is hinted at by AllThingsD reporters, then a very curious situation is developing: a new potential hit from Samsung comes out two weeks before the highly anticipated iPhone 5. Given the furor that accompanied the release of the first Galaxy Note a year ago, the release of a new device may well hit sales of the next iPhone.
To iOS apologists, such a statement, of course, may seem controversial, but here’s what you need to remember: the first Galaxy Note became a year ago not only an extremely popular flagship of Samsung, but also the fresh breeze in the mobile market that everyone was waiting for. Moreover, its release marked and at the same time consolidated the trend to increase the screen diameter. After him, the big screen became the norm, and analysts started talking about the fact that it was time for the iPhone to grow in size. But whether the second Note will become a new milestone is a big question.
