Sprint announced today that Samsung‘s Galaxy Note II smartphone will be available on its network beginning October 25. The device will cost $299 with a new or upgraded 2-year service agreement.
The carrier will have the Galaxy Note II in both of its colors: Marble White or Titanium Grey. It will be the first Sprint smartphone to launch running Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean. It is also the carrier’s first device to feature a quad-core processor and have a display over 5 inches.
For those who don’t know, Samsung’s Galaxy Note II has a 5.5-inch display and an Exynos 1.6GHz quad-core processor. Also, though the device will come running Jelly Bean, it will also come pre-loaded with Samsung’s proprietary software, such as S-Voice. The Galaxy Note II also has an 8MP rear camera and a 1.9MP front-facing camera.
The device also comes with Samsung’s S-Pen stylus, which Sprint states is (I kid you not) “longer, thicker, and ergonomically designed for the perfect grip.”
Of course, Sprint is one of the two U.S. carriers that offers unlimited 4G, and the only carrier that offers unlimited 4G LTE. If your current contract is up, you’re an Android fan, you want to download many things on-the-go, and want the largest smartphone currently available from Samsung, Sprint’s version of the Galaxy Note II is probably the device you’re looking for.
