Samsung Galaxy Note 2 gleams with Jelly Bean, 16:9 screen

The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is going widescreen. Rumoured specs for the sequel to the popular 5-inch phone-stroke-tablet thingy reveal it will have quad-core power, 4G, Jelly Bean, and a 16:9 screen.

Seoul Newspaper claims that the new Note will have a slightly bigger 5.5-inch Super AMOLED screen. As well as being 16:9, the display will boast a 1,280x720 resolution, perfect for treating your eyeballs to high-definition movies while on the go.

Underneath that slab of a screen the Note 2 is set to be powered by a quad-core 1.4GHz Samsung Exynos 4412 processor and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the latest version of Google's Android software. It also packs an 8-megapixel camera and will offer next-generation data speeds in countries where they have 4G phone networks.

We already know the Note 2 will once again include the Note's signature stylus, or S Pen, complimented by special apps. Check out legendary film director Wim Wenders getting spaced out by the prospects...
