It seems as if Samsung has tried to maintain the core features of its original Note in Galaxy Note II, there’s no much difference between them. Ive compared both original note and Galaxy Note II and the only difference I’ve come across is its ram and camera. I don’t think there should be much difference between the prices of these phones, anyways are you aware of its price?
