As far as the design goes, as expected it seems to be a bigger Galaxy S III with the same rounded edges and glossy finish. The S-Pen is also improved now with it featiring a rubber nib, users can now add quick commands to gestures. “Air View” allows users to preview galleries and folders just by floating the stylus above the display.
The Note II will launch in “major European, Asian, and Middle East markets” beginning in October, and will be coming to the US later this year.
