Hence, my hesitation about pulling the trigger. Can anyone substantiate or lend credence to the rumors of an enhanced version, and if so, is there any indication about the addition of either SD Card capability or frontlights?
Initially there was talk of a pro version of the Note coming out later this year. From what I recall the only differences from the current version of Note would be increased onboard memory, 64 GB instead of the current 32, and the addition of an HDMI port.

Haven't heard any word of the Note Pro in quite a while so I don't know if that is still on the table.

However, there was more recent talk of an upcoming 9.7" device with a frontlight and SD card slot:
