The Galaxy Note 2's screen is expected to increase by 0.2-inches for a 5.5-inch screen but maintaining the super AMOLED HD display. The resolution reports are still sketchy, but early reports indicate it might to reverse from its predecessor with 1280x800.
A 13-megapixel rear-facing camera makes the device capture power images, something the original Note didn't feature. Additionally, it will feature 4G LTE data access, 1.5 to 2GB RAM, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, use the dual-core Exynos 5250 chipset, and most likely S Voice.
