+1, you are 100% correct. The Galaxy Note only just came out, only had mine a few months so it's very unlikely they will release another one.
In fact the Note hasn't even been released in the US yet! How can they bring out a newer version when the original is still to be released in America?
I'd say 2013 at the earliest for a Note replacement, not anytime soon...
It's most likely a fake rumour or the Galaxy S III...
Not 2013, late 2012.
These could be a Galaxy Note S or Plus or whatever but I don't think it will be a replacement for Galaxy S2 but just another addition in Samsung product portfolio.
As I wouldn't be happy to get 5 something inch screen because it's too big for me if we speak about phone
Why would a Note S or Note Plus be less than 5 inches? For people that don't want such a large screen, there is always the SGS line.
Then what the beep are you doing in the Note forum? Go back to your iPhone fan forums

Because there isn't a large portfolio of android products that aren't 5"+?
Firemaker please keep up.
There was plenty of articles and discussions about samsung note back in august last year and the note or smart-tab-phone ( translation) was allready shown at a number of trade shows in korea througout the summer ( Anyone could read about it ahead of the official release even in mass market blogs like engaget )
Its now february half a year later and I dont understand the alarm and negative comments this is causing.
1) most buyers of these devices dont even read these geek only sites and just buy what they see in the stores... they dont care what *might* be available on worldwide import or other geos
2) very few of the notes users pay 600 anythings £$€ as they just buy phones on contract so its no real loss for them if there is an update
3) Surely any reasonable individual would be pleased if sammy annouce an updated note taking advantage of refreshed technology, we are not talking revolution here, purely an evolution to the current state of the market for a premium device. ( how could any non luddite aurgue this isnt a good thing ?)
4) people are whining they are loosing money ....WTF you bought something its great, so chill out be pleased, something better will come out soon, who cares you havnt lost anything ...if you buy a dell pc and intel release a faster processor six months later will you get upset if dell include it in that model......
we should celibrate these refreshes and be pleased for constant innovation otherwise we would all be still walking around with wap speed data on our tft ipaqs and sony clies instead of hspa oled hd notes.....
You are completely missing the point. When a phone is speculated, demonstrated, and when it is released is a totally different thing. Nobody likes there 3 month old gadget to be obsoleted. Heck, for american consumers, the rumored Note 2 announcement date is less than 2 weeks after they get the Note 1...
Second, making tons of SKU's is not a good thing. Your first post gave the example of going to CD's. Nobody here doesn't want a note 2. However, people don't wan't there to be 4 minor iterations before you get to a phone that is truly an upgrade from the first (See SGS1->SGS2 vs HTC Sensation-> HTC Amaze). One was a huge upgrade, and was announced a year apart. One was announced within 8 months, was a minor iteration, and another SKU needed support. That's bad for both business and consumers.
Let the note 2 come out, but make it something worth upgrading to. Don't make a ton of wholly new products with minor iterations.
