Display
Different from the original model, the Note 2 may have a bit larger display, rumors say. As per some sources, the new phablet will have a 5.5-inch 1280 x 720p display screen and it is to be HD Super AMOLED. That is, users will get a bit more freedom to surf web, compose notes, watch movies and enjoy games on the handset. The Intuition, on the other hand, is anticipated to come with a 5-inch display with 1080p capability. Its original version the Optimus Vu has the same display.
Processor
As per a South Korean newspaper, the Note 2 will sport Samsung’s own Exynos 4 Quad 4412 quad core CPU clocking at 1.4 GHz. It will make the gadget analogous to the Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S3. With the powerful quad core processor, Samsung needs to fit in a stronger battery, thus users can play with the gadget for a long time. The Intuition may come with the same 1.5GHz dual core Qualcomm MSM8660 Snapdragon-based Scorpion CPU of Optimus Vu. There is no report that the handset may get some serious hardware upgrade.
Firmware
Most probably, the Note 2 will come to stores with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Since the new version of Android has grabbed fame, Samsung might design its second gen Note 2 with the highly feature-rich firmware. Meanwhile, the Intuition is expected to hit stores with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Further, the Note 2 may have 16GB and 32GB storage options. For connectivity, advanced features like 3G and 4G LTE, NFC, microUSB will also be there.
