We knew it was going to happen, but now we have official confirmation from Samsung. The Galaxy Note II will be available on all of the major U.S. carriers starting sometime mid-November. Samsung has given itself a huge advantage by adopting a multi-carrier approach and I applaud them for that. It opens the door for a wider customer adoption and will certainly result in more sales (just look at the Galaxy S III).

The Samsung Galaxy Note is a beast in every respect. It features Samsung’s very own Exynos 1.6 GHz quad-core processor that is actually optimized for both LTE and HSPA+ 42 networks. It has 2GB of internal RAM and comes with 16 GB of onboard file storage (expandable with microSD). Did I mention this thing has a 5.5-inch HD Super AMOLED display and a 3,100mAh battery? Told you this thing was a beast.

Want more good news? The Samsung Galaxy Note II will be launching with Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and yes, TouchWiz. You also get all the S-Pen magic a stylus toting wizard could ask for.

There you have it, the Samsung Galaxy Note II will be coming soon to a carrier near you. For more details, hit up the source link below.
