The Exynos 4 Quad chipset has its quad-core CPU clocked at 1.6GHz, coupled with 2 GB of RAM and a beefy 3,100 mAh battery on board. The Note II is actually thinner than its predecessor at 9.4 mm (the Galaxy Note is 9.65 mm thick) and just 2 grams heavier, at 180 grams. There's an 8 MP camera on the back and a 1.9 MP one on the front.


The S-Pen has been redesigned too - it's longer and thicker making it more ergonomic and has learned some cool new tricks. One of them is dubbed Air View, which allows you to hover the S Pen over an email, the gallery, video, etc. to preview the content without the need to actually open the app. In addition, the S Pen is capable of a new gesture called Quick Command, which lets users quickly activate frequently used apps.

The Samsung Galaxy Note II will come with support for both HSPA+ and 4G LTE. It will have 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB storage options with a microSD card slot available on each of them.The Samsung Galaxy Note II will ship in Europe this October with US and worldwide availability to follow shortly afterwards. Unfortunately, the pricing is yet to be revealed.

Samsung ATIV

 
 The ATIV S is built around a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display of HD resolution and has Gorilla Glass 2 on top for extra protection. Powering the smartphone is a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Krait processor and 1GB of RAM. At the back, there’s an 8MP camera with 1.9MP snapper at the front.

 Measuring 137.2 mm x 70.5 mm x 8.7 mm the Samsung ATIV S weighs 135 grams and packs a beefy 2,300mAh battery. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 3 and NFC. Windows Phone 8 supports memory expansion slots and the Samsung ATIV S makes use of that, bringing a microSD card slot to allow expansion of its 16GB or 32GB built-in storage.

 Pricing and availability is yet to be confirmed, but we're guessing the smartphone will hit the shelves immediately after Microsoft officially releases the Windows Phone 8 OS.
Making the Samsung ATIV S company are three new Windows 8-powered tablets – the 10.1” ATIV Tab, and two 11.6” ATIV Smart PC and ATIV Smart PC Pro.
