Samsung's UNPACKED event is coming up on August 29 in Berlin, and the company is already teasing us with a video of what we can expect to see. Promising to make "magical moments come alive," the video shows a stylus-ready device.

A few weeks ago, a Samsung spokesperson confirmed plans to unveil the next generation of its Galaxy Note phablet during a press conference at the IFA trade show in Berlin. Although no features have been confirmed, the Galaxy Note II is expected to feature a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and a quad-core Exynos processor. The newest Galaxy Note could also feature a 12-megapixel rear-facing camera.

During the company's press event for the Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet, Samsung revealed it has already sold more than 10 million Galaxy Note smartphone/tablet hybrids around the world. It's expected that Samsung could enjoy even greater success with the second-generation Galaxy Note. The first-generation Galaxy Note features a 5.2-inch Super AMOLED display, dual-core 1.4GHz Exynos processor, 32GB of internal storage, an 8-megapixel camera.
