The blurry-cam photo above is doing the rounds today, claiming to show Samsung’s upcomi****laxy Note successor. The image comes from
Know Your Mobile, which was given the image anonymously. It supplies the shot along with a familiar spec sheet -- a 5.5-inch screen, quad-core CPU, etc., etc.
As much as
we hate to burst anyone's bubble, there's a problem with that photo. The problem is we’ve seen it before -- Samsung fan artist Daniel UY
published an almost identical looking creation yesterday on Twitter, with the same front panel configuration and silver trim. Daniel’s image wasn’t leaked from Samsung, but instead an original creation of his own. It's this which a third party has manipulated into the image above, and sent out to the blogs.
For his part, original artist Daniel UY has today released the full-sized original version of his "Note 2" mock-up. Check 'em out below.
They're mighty impressive, but they're just fan-made images rather than the real deal. Repeat: This is
not the
Galaxy Note 2. So hold your horses, Internet -- we’ll see the real Galaxy Note 2
in a couple of weeks in Berlin, Germany.
