Samsung China has just announced the upcoming availability of the Galaxy Note II. There’s nothing unusual here. However, the Chinese Galaxy Note II comes with dual-SIM capability.

The smartphone supports both microSIMs and standard SIMs. It will be available for purchase beginning December 3 for 5699 yuan outright, which is about $915/€710.

Aside from dual-SIM ability, the smartphone does not come with anything new in comparison with the international version.

The phone will ship with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box. In addition, it will pack a 1.6 GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM.

Obviously, the main selling point of the Samsung Galaxy Note II is the stunning 5.5-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720 x 1280 pixels), and features Corning Gorilla Glass 2 coating.
