Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Update: Dual-SIM Version To Be Launched Soon

South Korean smartphone maker Samsung Electronics is planning to release their recently launched much hyped next generation phone - Samsung Galaxy Note 2 in a dual-SIM version, reports Unwired View citing a tipster from MyDrivers.

According to a report, Samsung is prepping a dual SIM version of the Galaxy Note successor, which will released initially in the Chinese market through China Unicom.

“For China, Samsung has a special version of the second generation Note, with dual-SIM dual standby support,” said the report.

However, the information is really scarce and there is no word on the pricing and availability of this rumored dual-SIM version of Galaxy Note 2.

The report has also come along with a leaked image which reveals three card slots under the battery cover, of which one is a micro SD card slot, one regular SIM card slot and one micro SIM card slot. Further, it has been suggested that the other specifications of the phablet remain the same.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is already making big news on the tech grounds for its highly anticipated power-packed features, including a 5.5 inch Super AMOLED touchscreen display with 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, 1.6GHz quad core processor, 2GB RAM, 8MP rear camera, 1.9MP front camera, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, DLNA, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth with A2DP, a mammoth 3,100 mAh batter and an improved S-Pen support with a rubber tip and better touch response.

While the phablet is scheduled for its release in the market around September 22, 2012, the company has also confirmed that Galaxy Note 2 will come in three configurations – 16GB, 32GB and 64GB, each with a micro SD card slot for expandable memory up to 32GB.

Logically, it is a little doubtful situation as for now as the report of a dual sim version of the handset is just a rumor, however if the speculations come out to be true, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 would surely ramp up the mobile space market dominance competition against other brand manufacturers in almost all the categories.

In the meantime, interested consumers in India who like to buy the successor of Galaxy Note, the new Note 2 is available on pre-order for a price of Rs 38,500 from Infibeam.
