Larger, 'unbreakable' screen and better camera rumoured

Samsung will unveil the successor to the popular Galaxy Note smartphone ahead of IFA 2012 on August 29, according to reports.

"We plan to unveil the next Galaxy Note at the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event in Berlin on August 29," a Samsung spokesman said.

Press reports from Samsung's homeland, South Korean, speculate the new Galaxy Note is to feature an 'unbreakable', 5.5-inch display as well as a faster processor and a much improved camera.

The unveiling is due approximately two weeks ahead of the expected announcement of Apple's iPhone 5. Sorry, it seems you can't have a Samsung smartphone story without mentioning the big A.
