After the surprising success of Samsung's original Galaxy Note in Oct. 2011, an upgrade of the smartphone, the Galaxy Note 2 is slated to hit shelves across the United States in mid-November.  Many experts are predicting that the newest device will surpass the 10 million units previously sold by its predecessor. 

Head of Samsung Mobile, JK Shim, feels that the smartphone easily has the potential to sell over 20 million units, as it will be compiled with a plethora of top of the line features. 

One of the features which set the original Galaxy Note apart from the rest of the pack was its S-Pen stylus, which will also be included with the newest upgrade.  The device will come equipped with a handset that includes a 1.6 GHz quad-core processor.  The respective set is expected to turn the Galaxy Note 2 into the most powerful smartphone in the global market to date.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will possess a 5.5-inch HD Super AMOLED display and give owners a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels.  Users will be able to buy the smartphone with either 16, 32, or 64GB of storage space. 

The device will get its power from a 3,100 mAh battery, which is an increase from the original Galaxy Note, although it will weigh less at 182.5g, due to its smaller bezel.  The smartphone will work with the latest Jelly Bean program of the Android OS, which will be compatible with TouchWiz UI.

Many other notable features will be present in the device, and give Samsung the opportunity to compete with its tech competition worldwide.  The company is clearly aiming to make an impact with the release of the Galaxy Note 2.  However, with Apple's recent launch of the iPhone 5, Samsung will still have their work cut out for them.
