Samsung GALAXY Note II pictured in Ruby Wine and Amber Brown

The Samsung GALAXY Note II in Ruby Wine and Amber Brown

During the weekend, a picture of the Samsung GALAXY Note II in black raised the hopes of those who have been dying to see the 5.5 inch phablet in classic black. Unfortunately, on Sunday out came the word that the picture was a mock-up created by a fan. But as we pointed out, that didn't mean that the Samsung GALAXY Note II wouldn't be coming out in the three other colors leaked earlier in the year. Those colors, Ruby Wine, Amber Brownand Topaz Blue, were supposed to be in addition to the original colors of Titanium Grey and Marble White.

Thanks to a magazine in South Korea, we finally have a chance to see the phablet wearing Amber Brown and Ruby Wine. Considering the origin of the publication, and the fact that Samsung is headquartered in South Korea, it certainly would make sense to see the new colors offered there first. There is no guarantee that the new color options will ever make their way to the U.S., although they could be displayed in Las Vegas during CES 2013 beginning January 8th.

Speaking of new color options, the Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 tablet, Samsung GALAXY Tab 2 10.1 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 are all expected to be available in Garnet Red soon, based on leaked press renders. The red color will be available only on the Wi-Fi/cellular variant of the three tablets.
