Samsung’s Galaxy Note II doesn’t have a release date anywhere yet, but the company has let us know that the 5.5-inch behemoth will at least be making its way to American shores this year. That’s an improvement on the original Note, which was similarly announced at IFA 2011 but didn’t get a US release until well after this year’s CES. There aren’t any details on carriers yet, but considering the previous device’s success we’d expect wider interest than before.
