Samsung is due to unveil its Galaxy Note 2 at this week's IFA show in Berlin, but purported details about the tablet have already surfaced online.

The follow-up to the current 5.3-inch Note will reportedly offer a 5.5-inch, 1,280x720-pixel, super AMOLED display, according to a Seoul newspaper (English translation).

Running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the Galaxy Note 2 will be powered by a 1.4GHz quad-core Exynos 4412 processor and offer 4G LTE connectivity, the newspaper added. An 8-megapixel camera will grace the rear. Consumers can also choose between 16GB or 32GB of storage.

Rumored specs about the larger and faster Galaxy Note 2 initially spilled in June, matching a few but not all of the features leaked by the Korean paper. The earlier report claimed the tablet would come with a dual-core processor and offer a screen resolution of 1,680x1,050-pixels.

The world will have the officially released details by next week when Samsung unwraps the Note 2 at IFA 2012, the tablet's first public appearance. IFA 2012 officially kicks off this Friday and runs until September 5. But special press events will be held this Wednesday and Thursday. Samsung's press event is scheduled for Wednesday and will be live streamed.
