The original Galaxy Note was unveiled last year around the same time at the IFA event in Germany, which gives smartphone enthusiasts ample reason to gear up for the Galaxy Note 2 launch.

A leaked image of Galaxy Note 2 shows a 5.5-inch display screen that is surrounded by a thin white edge. "When comparing the image alongside a photo of the original Galaxy Note, the difference in screen size is clearly visible. Not only is the display taller, but the Galaxy Note 2 appears to be wider as well," states an IBTimes report.

Another picture on NowhereElse highlighted the casing of a next-gen phablet, with a ruler running diagonally and measuring the 5.5-inch screen. This image is believed to be that of the Galaxy Note 2. If these pictures are authentic, then Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will become the biggest smartphone in existence.

Rumors suggest that the Galaxy Note 2 will run on the latest Android, Jelly Bean. The Note 2 will be powered by an Exynos quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM. The device will also sport a 12-megapixel camera, and the much-touted Super AMOLED 5.5-inch display screen with 1680 x 1050 resolution.

With smartphone giants like Samsung, Apple, and HTC expected to launch their gadgets this year, gizmo lovers have been inundated with rumors galore. To win the race and assert their dominance, smartphone makers will have to present a unique device to aficionados.
