Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will sport 5.5-inch display

Sources on the Internet have started a new rumor that claims the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 smartphone will feature a 5.5-inch AMOLED display that will also be a bit narrower than the screen found in the first Galaxy Note.

The upcoming smartphone will be commercially available starting in October this year. It will be based on a dual-core 32 nm Exynos 5250 processor that will run at 2 GHz. The graphics subsystem will also be improved thanks to a more powerful chip that will allow higher screen resolutions of up to 2560 x 1600 pixels and provide support for 3D displays.

Other specs of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 include 1.5 GB of RAM, a rear 8 MP camera, 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi and the latest Android 4.1 Jelly Bean mobile smartphone OS.

Pricing is unknown.
