Samsung is expected to launch the second generation Galaxy Note smartphone later this year.

Sources say that the next model would feature a 5.5” display.

Although it is bigger than the display on the current generation model, reports say that the company would have a small bezel leading to a slightly smaller device.

The device is also likely to feature a design similar to the Galaxy S III.

Samsung is expected to launch this phone in the market in September this year to ensure it goes on sale before the much awaited Apple iPhone 5.
