Samsung's Galaxy Note tablet has been a runaway hit - putting a dent in Apple's lead in the tablet market
with 7 million sales - and now Samsung is to release a 'sequel' this October.

The hit five-inch phone-tablet has become a cult smash - and the new model could even eat into the sales of the
upcoming iPhone 5, which seems set to have a larger screen.



The follow-up, Galaxy Note 2, will have an even bigger screen at 5.5-inches, and a super high-resolution screen
with a resolution of 1680x1050.

It will also have a 12-megapixel camera and a quad-core processor - specifications that will keep it ahead of the likely
technologies inside Apple's upcoming iPhone 5.

Samsung's Galaxy smartphones have been key to the Korean giant's recent surge in profits.

Samsung’s Galaxy smartphone, dubbed the iPhone killer for knocking its Apple-made rival off the top sales spot, sent
the electronic giant’s profits soaring to a record high.

The Galaxy phone models, which have already overtaken the iPhone in global sales, were the driving force behind the
profits increase.

The group sold six million S III models during the three months – although this was a million short of initial estimates.

But it could not overcome a slump in demand for electronics among in Europe, North America and China, fuelled largely
by worries over the eurozone.
