It appears that the Samsung Galaxy Note II is also getting a refresh as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 powered version has made its way to China. Recently announced by China Mobile (which is the largest carrier in China) as the N7108D, the new version looks exactly the same as the old Samsung Galaxy Note II but has had a refresh in terms of the internal hardware. This includes FDD-LTE, TD-LTE and TD-SCDMA standards. The aforementioned chipset also upgrades the Mali 400 GPU with the much faster Adreno 320 while the 1.9GHz quad-core Krait 300 processor results in a benchmark that beats the older version with ease.
No news on pricing though or whether it will arrive in Malaysia or other markets later on. It appears that China has become the new testing ground for smartphone makers as more and more different versions of smartphones seem to be making their way there first. Again no news if this refresh will replace the old version completely or simply be a step up version instead. Considering Samsung's usual device spamming tactics we assume it would be the latter but at perhaps a higher price point.
