It looks like Sprint and US Cellular launched the Samsung Galaxy Note II simultaneously. Both carriers now offer the South Korean’s Android flagship smartphone starting October 26.

Customers can grab the phablet for no less than $299.99 USD (230 EUR) with a new two-year agreement.

For those who think the price is a bit too high, they should know that T-Mobile’s Galaxy Note II is priced at $370 USD (285 EUR) on a 2-year contract.

Sprint customers that do not want to commit to a long-term contract can buy the Samsung Galaxy Note II for $649.99 USD (500 EUR) outright. The smartphone is available in two color options: Titanium Gray and Marble White. Check it out here.

According to Samsung, Galaxy Note II owners can become efficiency experts “by supporting up to 10 devices with optional hotspot capability and accessing important files anytime, anywhere with AllShare. Keep data secure with this SAFE device that supports Mobile Device Management, on-device encryption and VPNs.”

Powered by Google’s Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box, the Galaxy Note II is the most advanced smartphone launched by the South Korean company to date.

The device comes with a huge 5.5-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720 x 1280 pixels) resolution, and features Corning Gorilla Glass 2 coating.

Samsung Galaxy Note II is equipped with a powerful 1.6 GHz quad-core Exynos 4412 CPU, accompanied by a Mali-400MP graphics processing unit and 2GB of RAM.

There are 16GB of storage inside which can be further expanded up to 64GB via microSD memory card, but Samsung confirmed that two more Galaxy Note II versions would be launched on the market: 32GB and 64GB.

The 8-megapixel rear camera with autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording is another strong point of the Galaxy Note II.
