However, if you haven’t had the opportunity or the wherewithal to pick one up before now, it may be of interest to you to know that the popular online retailer, Very, is currently offering the device with a £200 discount.

The Galaxy Note II packs a beefy 5.5-inch super AMOLED display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, an Exynos 4412 chipset powered by four 1.6GHz Cortex-A9 central processing units, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage (expandable up to 64GB via microSD), an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera equipped with optical image stabilization, a Mali-400MP GPU and a 3,100 removable Li-Ion battery.
