(GSM Insider) - Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Amber Brown First Look Surfaced, It's Japanese Version SC-02E

On last week, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 was spotted in Korean magazine with the colours of Amber Brown and Garnet Red. This news sparks the speculation on whether the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 coming in more colours soon. 

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Amber Brown indeed existed in the market. But only available at Japanese market. The image above was show-off by Taiwanese media on its hands-on article.

The handset above is the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 SC-02E for NTT-Docomo or better known as the NTT-Docomo Galaxy Note 2. The NTT Docomo logo was appeared at the top middle of the device. 

So far, one thing can confirmed is the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 indeed available in Amber Brown model but only available exclusively for NTT-Docomo at the moment.
