TechTree.tv: Samsung Releases GALAXY Note II Launch Teaser

YouTube video shows off very little of the device, and more of the stylus functionality; points to 29th August Unpacked launch event at IFA 2012.


Samsung is pulling out all the stops in its hype campaign as it prepares to unveil the second-generation GALAXY Note II (aka N7100) "phablet" on 29th August at the Unpacked event, scheduled to be held in Berlin on the sidelines of IFA 2012. Leading up to the launch, the company has posted a new video on its YouTube channel that gives a peek at the device. The clip stars German film director, photographer, and producer Wim Wenders of Wings of Desire fame, demonstrating how the S Pen stylus can be used to show off your creative streak by making sketches on the slate. The gadget itself is barely seen, as only a fleeting glimpse is visible from extreme close-ups. Known specifications have been mentioned after the jump. You can enjoy the video below to try and make sense of what it shows:
