This week, wireless carrier Vodafone Australia officially confirmed plans to make the Samsung GALAXY Note II smartphone available for purchase on its network.

For the time being, the wireless carrier did not offer specific info on when the smartphone would be released on its network, but it did say that this would happen soon.

No specific info on the mobile phone’s pricing has been unveiled either, but we should expect these details to be announced in the very near future as well.

“This amazing handset will be available from Vodafone in time for Christmas. More details including available color options, pricing and availability are to follow in the coming days,” the wireless carrier announced.

Those users who would like to receive word from the carrier on the availability of this device should head over to its coming soon webpage and provide their email address for that.

Unveiled to the world at the end of August, Galaxy Note II is one of the largest Android-based smartphones in the world, and also one of the most powerful such devices.

Moreover, the smartphone was launched with an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, capable of recording videos in full HD resolution, and with a front camera for making video calls.

The smartphone also comes with 16/32/64 GB of internal memory options, as well as with a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 64GB of additional storage space.

The handset’s specs also include HSDPA, 42 Mbps; HSUPA, 5.76 Mbps; LTE, Cat3, 50 Mbps UL, 100 Mbps DL, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, NFC, built-in GPS receiver, and the entire series of sensors.

Furthermore, the smartphone runs under Google’s Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system, and is powered by a Li-Ion 3100 mAh battery.
