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.

For those of you who like a little bit more pink in your life, Samsung's Galaxy Note II pink limited edition version has arrived. In terms of Tech specs, this pink Samsung Galaxy Note II doesn't seem to have any other new features. Same 5.5" Super Amoled display, same S pen capability. At least the S pen that comes with this new pink version is also cotton candy coloured as well.

This new pink Samsung Galaxy Note II is available in Malaysia at most standard retail stores. However, just in case, give it a few more days for stock to arrive, but if you're determined to get your pink powered Samsung Galaxy Note II now, do head out for the larger Samsung stores and distributors for a better chance at snagging one.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Pros:

Feels good in the hand, can be used one-handed, has so many features it is impossible to explore all of them. Use is intuitive. It is esthetically pleasing. Reading text in "normal" mode is a cinch. Cameras work perfectly. Phone sound is great.

Large screen. super fast and responsive. Fills a niche that most manufacturers will not fill. I have a new ipad and a nexus 7 and i dont even bother to use those ever since i got my note 2. Really great phone all the way around.
