I am an i-phone user and I've been using apple phones since the first made to the present of the i-phone 5 generation. Besides i-phones,I started using Android phones a couple years,probably three years;I guess...from My-touch 4g LTE to the HTC Vivid. I loved the Galaxy note 2 at the first seen when I visit the T-mobile store I saw a marble white thin and over size looked smartphone on the display glassed desk. Even though the smartphone looks big but not bulky rather with a very elegant with the 5.5 screen size. The phone's quad-core processor is really fast compares to the A-6 i-phone 5. The excellent HD camera feature produces stunning images and it can process and shooting ant-liked words with very clear pictures that even hi-end sonny camera can't. You can put another Galaxy phone side by side and infrared sync the photo without connect to the pc. You can set it to read your eyes and the screen never turn off when you look at and using it.You can write note or paint an image on this note 2 and tons works to do with this really smartphone.The battery lasts quite long with on standby mode it can last for a week without charge and I know there was so many apps running within the standby mode but the battery still last very long.Read full review
If you're looking for versatility, ease of use and overall performance, the Galaxy Note II is perfect for you. I traded in all my apple products, (Iphone, iPod and ipad,) and replaced them with this one unit. From Allshare to S-Voice, this phone will, (without a doubt,) suit your needs. The Cameras, (both front and back,) as well as the sound quality, are top notch. Worried about size? Well don't! It fits in my jeans pockets without an issue, my spouse can fit it in most pockets in her purse as well. For it's size it is surprisingly very easy to handle. It does not seem over sized when holding to to your ear to talk. Even the battery life is suitable for all the features it has. I have yet to kill the battery from daily use. Over the Galaxy S3 and other comparable phones, the Galaxy Note II is generations ahead. Don't sell yourself short by buying another, less equipped product. In my opinion, this phone is absolutely PERFECT!Read full review
PROS - Screen Size:The screen size is perfect - 5.5" really is how a modern mobile, multi-tasking OS should be experienced. Can take a while to get used the size but once you get over it , you cann't go back. You will loss some portability and no more skinny jeans :P - Screen Quality: Long story short, it ain't pentile, which is a good thing. If you've researched, you'd know it has a slightly funky RGB set-up, but bottom line: I can't tell the set-up is any different than a standard RGB screen. You'll like it - no, you'll love it. Colors pop, and I cannot see pixels. It is clearly on par with the only screen that I could ever personally compare it to: the gold standard iPhone 4/4s. - Multi-Window Multi-Tasking: Awesome. Basically, Samsung allows you to split the Note II's screen into two windows, so you can have two applications running simultaneously on the screen. For example, you could have a window on top with YouTube open, with the one on the bottom for GMail. I've found over the past few days that my use case tends to be: top window, Chrome; bottom window, messaging. This allows me to browse the web while quickly responding to texts. Unfortunately, not all apps support multi-window functionality (I'd love to find an RSS reader that does, and Drive support would be awesome). Facebook and Twitter support multi-windows, as does the aforementioned Chrome and some other apps. - Horsepower: The Note II *screams*. It handles multi-window mode like a champ, takes photos quickly, installs apps virtually instantaneously, cycles through homescreens like (Project) butter. - S-Pen: the Note II includes a stylus. While not even close to being the primary reason I purchased the device, I've found small uses for it. I downloaded Sketchbook Mobile to doodle (albeit poorly, but that's because of my horrid artistic skills, not because of the efficacy of the stylus), I've scribbled a few notes, etc. I've actually found it to be quite adept at handwriting entry (the Note II transcribes your handwriting into typewritten format). It's also incredibly quick to trace out letters on Samsung's included "Swype"ish keyboard. - Battery Life: Amazing Battery life. The 3100mAH battery delivers!!Read full review
It is a wonderful phone. I have an iPhone 5s as well. I use the Note II for work and the iPhone for personal. Frankly, the iPhone still works better. I've never been able to get the volume buttons to work on an Android phone and the iPhone apps are usually better. But this is close. Samsung makes a great phone then loads it up with dozens of apps you can't remove. They are terrible memory hogs and I don't understand why they do not permit you to delete them. the iPhone has none of this. But, the screen on the Note is huge and vivid and clear. You can insert a memory card so I have 80GB on the phone. So there are advantages.
This phone's got it all. To be honest, when I now compare my iphone 4 with this phone, I realize how much I was missing out. Screen is AMAZING, Camera is great when there's enough lighting (decent in low light but not great), S-pen is EXTREMELY useful (air view, cutting an image, print screen, many many others!) And google maps - oh google maps!!! How much love do I have for thee?? Imagine a turn by turn navigation for GOOGLE MAPS!!! The best map application on the planet just became BEASTLY!!
