Galaxy Note 2 will be announced on October,2012 and may hit the markets before the Holidays.

We reported before that the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is coming in October with a Full HD 1080p 5.5-inch display, Now we got some reports rumor that it could feature a YOUM flexible OLED screen. If you didn't hear about Samsung YOUM technology Head to this link Here to know More.

The rumor for a 5.5-inch made with plastic substrate instead of glass comes courtesy of a Korean website, and nobody but Samsung could vouch for the validity of that claim. The source also claims that it will have a 12MP camera, whereas we've heard before it will sport an 8MP shooter, so it would all be some wishful thinking.

According to the Korean Digital Daily website, Samsung is planning to have an Unpacked event for the Galaxy Note 2 this year. It will happen in 30,August a day before the IFA expo kicks off in Berlin, Germany.

According to the information the Event will start at 19:00 (local time, CET) and will be all about the Galaxy Note 2.

Samsung always brings the best accessories to its flagship devices, and this one is very useful in some situations where you'd like to listen to some music but don't want to carry a smartphone, such as during running or jogging and you have a Galaxy S III or Note II with you ? Well you gonna need something as small as the Samsung Muse.

Samsung Muse comes with a data transfer cable that plugs into your smartphone and with the help of Samsung's Music Sync Android application lets you transfer music on your smartphone on to the Muse. The Muse has 4GB of storage for yor music.

The Muse has just been launched in the US for $49.99 in Pebble Blue and Piano White. Supports Samsung GALAXY III and Samsung GALAXY Note II. The pricing is identical to the iPod shuffle, which only has 2GB of memory.

This is a benchmark test between the Samsung GALAXY Note II with a Quad-core Exynos CPU clocked at 1.6GHz vs. Samsung GALAXY S III with the same Quad-core Exynos CPU chip clocked at 1,4GHz vs. LG Optimus 4X HD with a Tegra 3 Quad0core CPU. Watch the Video below to see the scores.

It wasn't quite the fair fight, considering that there is a generational gap in the 32nm manufacturing of Samsung's Exynos 4412 processor, and the 40nm process used for Tegra 3, but LG's handset held its own in Quadrant and AnTuTu just fine. It bungled the Vellamo benchmark, which is admittedly done for testing Snapdragon processors, and favors instruction sets like the ones in the Exynos family.

Rumor has it that a cheaper alternative to the Samsung Galaxy Note II is already in the works and will be released on the European market. It might not carry the Note branding, however, as it will not come with an S Pen, according to the source.

It is also speculated that an LCD screen will be used instead of an AMOLED panel. The idea behind this rumored handset is to let a broader range of consumers have a taste of what having a smartphone with a huge screen feels like. How much the cheaper Note II alternative will cost, however, is not being mentioned.

Next up we have a rumor about a 13.3-inch tablet by Samsung that will mimic the concept behind the Asus Transformer series. In other words, the slate will be accompanied by a physical keyboard dock. The dock could also be sold separately, as an optional accessory. Our guess is that this mysterious 13.3-inch tablet will run Android.

Did you thought about using your Galaxy Note II as a PC computer ? ColdFustion has posted a video showing the Galaxy Note II connected to a 29-inch Samsung LED monitor using a Samsung HML adapter and an HDMI cable, Also, the Note II was connected to an Apple wireless QWERTY keyboard and Magic Mouse, and a number of tests were performed to see if the Samsung GALAXY Note II could make it as a PC.

Multitasking is smooth and the GALAXY Note II supports a full-featured floating browser with pop-up video too. Looking to tax the processor, two flash videos were started at the same time, still runing great... With four flash videos running simultaneously with two native apps, things finally started to lag and break down.

One test that failed when tried with the Samsung GALAXY Note, involved a copy and paste test using the Dolphin Browser and a picture of a cat and lettuce. The picture was successfully copied and pasted thanks to the 2GB RAM on the Note II. The 1GB of RAM on the Original Samsung GALAXY Note could not handle this test. S Note became a whiteboard-like tool, allowing the user to use the S Pen to scribble notes that could be seen nicely on the larger monitor.

How did the Samsung GALAXY Note II hold up for PC game playing? Most games worked without a problem, Watch the Video below for more details.
