Today, Japanese mobile phone carrier NTT DoCoMo has announced the upcoming availability of Samsung’s large 5.5-inch Galaxy Note II smartphone on its network.

In fact, the wireless operator has unveiled to the world its entire series of winter smartphones, which also includes a new flavor of the already popular Galaxy S III handset.

Both Galaxy Note II (SC-02E) and the improved Galaxy S III (SC-03E) will arrive on shelves with support for the wireless carrier’s Xi LTE service.

At the same time, NTT DoCoMo announced that both smartphones would be released with the latest version of Android loaded on them right from the start, namely 4.1 Jelly Bean.

When released in November, Galaxy Note II will provide users with a great viewing experience on its large 5.5-inch 1280×720 HD Super AMOLED Display, as well as with appealing performance levels, courtesy of the 1.6GHz Exynos 4412 quad-core processor that Samsung packed it with.

The mobile phone also comes with an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with support for full HD video recording, as well as with a 1.9MP front camera for making video calls.

Other features of this device include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, 1Seg TV support, NFC capabilities, and a 3100mAh battery to power them all.

As for the new Galaxy S III flavor, called Alpha, according to SammyHub, it will hit the market with a 1.6GHz Exynos 4412 quad-core CPU packed inside, which should offer a bump in performance when compared to the already available model at this wireless carrier.

The phone also comes with a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED Display (1280×720), an 8-megapixel camera on the back, 1.9MP front camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC capabilities, GPS receiver, 1Seg TV and 2100mAh battery.

The new version of Galaxy S III is expected to become available for purchase sometime in December in two color flavors, namely Titanium Gray and Sapphire Black.
