- Have the same SoC as the SGS3 (Exynos 4412)
- Slightly overclocked cpu (1.6GHz) and gpu (Mali-400)
- Larger 2GB RAM

- Super Amoled Plus tech (not PenTile)
- 1280 x 720 resolution
- On-screen Navigation Buttons
- Slightly larger 5.5inch display
- Slightly Wider, Thinner, about the same Height.
- 12MP camera
- NFC
- Possibly bigger battery (between 2500 and 3200mAh)

... it's more like a NOTE1.5 or SGS 3.5 than anything else. I think its safe to "pass" on this, if you have the original NOTE.
This revelation isn't a shock to me, but a big disappointment since I was hoping for a genuine NOTE 2:
Hmmm... Some of these specs don't seem so bad to me. 2GB RAM (will help with multitasking), 12MP Camera (I know you need to consider other factors besides MP but it could be helpful) Quad core CPU, 5.5 inch screen (probably to accommodate home button), a little thinner, better battery. I like it. It would be disappointing if it doesn't come with Jelly bean. What do you think is better: super amoled plus tech with 1280x720 or 1280x800 pentile? As a workhorse device that could be used with docking station it might be quite good. I would say its rather a NOTE1.8. 1.5 seems a bit too low! Anyways, it's perhaps a little premature to know what its true specs are but it is fun to speculate!
