Rumor: Samsung working on a cheaper Galaxy Note II, 13-inch tablet with keyboard dock, and the mysterious Project J

Rumor has it that a cheaper alternative to the Samsung Galaxy Note II is already in the 

works and will be released on the European market. It might not carry the Note branding, 

however, as it will not come with an S Pen, according to the source. It is also speculated 

that an LCD screen will be used instead of an AMOLED panel. The idea behind this 

rumored handset is to let a broader range of consumers have a taste of what having a 

smartphone with a huge screen feels like. How much the cheaper Note II alternative will 

cost, however, is not being mentioned.

Next up we have a rumor about a 13.3-inch tablet by Samsung that will mimic the concept 

behind the Asus Transformer series. In other words, the slate will be accompanied by a 

physical keyboard dock. The dock could also be sold separately, as an optional accessory. Our 

guess is that this mysterious 13.3-inch tablet will run Android.

Last but not least, it is rumored that the Samsung Galaxy S IV will be announced in April. The 

smartphone has the "Project J" name attached to it, yet what that indicates is unclear at this 

time.
