With all the furore surrounding the way that component prices have been dropping recently, space a thought for any resellers or distributors who presently have stock on the Samsung Galaxy Note II. A KitGuru associate was considering one of these, but hit a snag when they went to do a price comparison. KitGuru powers up the LEDs and heads into the dark corners of the channel.

We live in a price competitive world.

Whenever one supplier has a product at £100, we're sure to find a spread of others in the £90 to £110 range.

Google and Amazon both do quite nice business off this fact.

It's not often that some of the most famous stores in the country can be undercut by close to £200 by other famous stores. Not on a product that generally costs less than £500.

While the Samsung Galaxy Note II managed to sell close to 2 million during the month after its launch toward the end of 2012, sales have been very wobbly for some time. Demand has been sporadic in the face of a wave of new launches and the candy-dangling desire being tapped into by the up-coming Note III (scheduled for early September) and new Apple handset.

Anyone retailer holding onto Samsung Galaxy Note II stock right now, will be getting very sweaty palms. As a result, deals are being done and the extent to which people want to have the Note II phones on their shelves cleared by the time the Note III lands, has led to this quite amazing spread of pricing:-

The spread of pricing that we have seen on the Samsung Galaxy Note II is quite incredible.

KitGuru says: With prices tumbling down this range of stores by almost £200, bargain hunters will want to check through until the last minute to make sure they have the very best deal in town. That said, if you wait until after the first week of September, you're almost certain to get a deal that will make these prices look positively bloated.

Ahead of its late August debut, the Samsung Galaxy Note II has had another rumour attributed to it – the presence of a flexible AMOLED display. Samsung has been working on this technology for quite a while now and it is a fair possibility that it will make its debut with the Note II.

Samsung's Galaxy Note successor will be unveiled later this year with the possibility of a flexible display.

While you might be hoping for a fully flexible device, the fragile electrical components have not caught up yet so the flexible display will allow for a slightly curved display. This, combined with a plastic substrate will result in a much tougher display than current devices. Furthermore, it decreases the thickness of the display component, which will allow Samsung to increase the size of other components including the battery over the previous Note while maintaining similar dimensions.

The Galaxy Note II will be unveiled on August 29th at a pre-IFA event in Berlin, Germany.

KitGuru says: If the flexible display lives up to expectations the Note II will sell well.

If rumours have their way then Samsung's Galaxy Note II, the successor to the 5.3 inch smartphone/tablet , will be unveiled at IFA Berlin late next month. The conference begins on the 31st of August and according to the Korean publication MK Business News it will hit store shelves in October.

Apparently the screen size will be bumped up to 5.5 inches from 5.3 in the current Note, and will presumably come with a higher resolution. All of this will be contained within the dimensions of its predecessor. Considering the Note was essentially a Galaxy S II with a larger screen size, we can vaguely assume the Note II will have the same quad core Exynos processor as the Galaxy S III. It may also include a 12 MP camera.

The Note II will likely launch with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, but if it launches with Android 4.0 instead then an update shouldn't be far away.

KitGuru says: 5.5 inches is just too big for use as a phone.
