Galaxy Note II officially headed to Verizon tomorrow

Samsung's popular oversized smartphone will reach Verizon in the U.S. tomorrow.
The device will be exactly the same as other variants of the device, except that the home button will have Verizon's branding.

Pre-orderers may have already received their devices, as the carrier began shipping them earlier this week.

The Note has a massive 5.5-inch screen, a new 16:9 aspect ratio with 1280x720, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, a quad-core 1.6GHz processor and 2GB RAM. The device has an 8MP LED rear camera and a 1.9MP front-side camera, a microSD slot, MHL, NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and Glonass, Wi-Fi Direct, 21 Mbps HSPA+ or 4G LTE support. The real kicker is a massive 3100 mAh battery.



Verizon sells the phone for $300 with two-year contract.
