The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will be hitting the United Kingdom even earlier than initial U.K. pre-orders indicated. Samsung just announced that the Galaxy Note 2 phablet will be available starting October 1 in the United Kingdom.
Samsung stores, U.K. carriers, Carphone Warehouse, Phones4U, and other wireless retail stores will all offer the handset on October 1.
This should be welcome news for those Samsung fans who were waiting in anticipation for their toy after Apple fans recently got their iPhone 5.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 pre-order prices vary around $700-$900 for the unlocked, SIM-free handset.
The Galaxy Note 2 comes with a massive 5.5-inch HD Super AMOLED display and a 1.6GHz quad-core processor. The phablet also features 4G LTE, an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, and a 1.9-megapixel front-facing camera. It will also be running the latest version of Android, Jelly Bean, right out of the box.
But it's the S Pen stylus that will help set this handset apart from the rest. Along with Samsung's S Pen-specific apps, the Korean electronics company hopes that consumers will use it as a digital notepad.
The Galaxy Note 2 will be available in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB models in Marble White and Titanium Gray.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will hit the states in mid-November on AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, and U.S. Cellular, according to Samsung. Carrier U.S. Cellular, however, has already started taking pre-orders online, pricing the Galaxy Note 2 16GB at $299.99, and stating a ship date of late-October.
The U.S. Galaxy Note 2 will have the same specs as the international version.
