Earlier today, Smarthouse reported Samsung has already sold 5 million Galaxy Note IIs in less than half the time it took the original to reach the milestone.

The second generation Note does the original proud with its 1.6GHz quad core processor, 2GB of RAM, up to 64GB of internal memory and a 5.5 inch HD screen. It has a 1.3MP front facing camera and an 8MP rear camera capable of Full HD recording. Throw in a 3,100mAh battery and you end up with a device more reminiscent of a tablet than a smartphone.
