I hope there is an update for the US version when it comes to that states within a month or so!! That is one of the best features ive seen on a phone in a while. Makes me want the AT&T variant of this phone even more
8. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
I'd assume it would be part of the phone when it launches in the US. Its just an issue since it just launched. Guess they just made this update as they were doing final boxing and only some units got it. No worries.
26. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
Right!! Ive never said this, but this phone is sexy lol. You can call it weird, but it worth noticing that Samsung may want you to jkeep this phone well beyond the time your capable of upgrading
Most people keep phones for at least a uear before they upgrade or buy another at full price. This is the type of phone you can keep until the wheels fall off............maybe lol

+1 on expecting the U.S. units of the GN II to ship with dual-screen multi-tasking. With this latest news, I will definitely be getting the GN II. No wonder Apple is wanting to get sales bans in place against Sammy. Sammy is eating Apple's lunch. First the GS III, now this. I can't wait to see the look on the faces of my friends who got iP5s when I pull out the GN II and show them the dual-screen multi-tasking.

Jealousy Gallito. It's always been pure jealousy. iPhone users just know how to mask it properly.
46. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Some iPhone users aren't as good as others at masking their jealousy. I know a few who were downright envious when I would see e-mail attachments before they could courtesy of LTE service.
Now they will continue to be envious when I am composing a response while keeping the attachment open on the other window.
49. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
why jealousy if I wanted an Android trust me I can buy one. is my decision to stick with Apple...it seems that is hard for people like you to understand that there are people that don't like big screen that constantly lag.. but hey they multitask.. wow
58. ilia1986 (unregistered)
Gallito - the GS3 does many things. But one thing it simply can't do. It can't lag. No matter what you do.

dude unfortunately you're wrong, i have a galaxy s3 quadcore and my brother an iphone 5. s3 is so smooth coming out of the box but as you use it it shows occasional lags like scrolling on pages, zooming in/out of photos and you have to kill apps every now and then. however, capacitive buttons react better than my xperia s. as for iphone 5, it's also smooth when it's brandnew, 4 days of using and double clicking the home button shows lag as well. playing graphics intense game however is better in iphone 5. take grand theft auto for example (bcoz there is no infinity blade on the play store)
75. BillyG (Posts: 305; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
lol, talking about jealousy... samsung almost always include iPhone in their ads...
those flowy multitask is just an ads, in reality it will be laggy, and you'll be very lucky if it doesn't freeze on you...there's not enough 'butter' from google for all those droids :D
48. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
contrary to some reports, there are reports of many i5s being returned for galaxy devices.
I hope one day there are real numbers on the return rate.
Apple fanatics love the i5. People that know jack squat love the i5. People that look around, do comparisons, or pay attention at all rarely go for an i5.
50. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
you write alot but show no evidence like usual of what you say... making it .. your own opinion..
55. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
lmao that coming from you, who believes everything apple say is fact
android and lag....thats no longer valid, maybe 3 years ago it was, you know the same time that the iphone was an actually competitor...no longer the case now
76. BillyG (Posts: 305; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
yeah, by many you probably means < 20 out of 5 millions right?

love this phone but 5.5 inch. its to big for my hands.. love the features and specs also the durability of this phone
how sad:-(
ill stick with my s3

You are talking as if Note 2 is quite a bit bigger than SGS3.
21. AliNSiddiqui (Posts: 382; Member since: 19 Sep 2012)
There is a huge difference of 0.7 inches... it is super noticeable dude... especially in your hands... this is a great device but too big for my taste...
51. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
im on the fence about the size. I thought the SGS3 was a little big. Not sure if I can stomach the Note2 though it has everything I want... IN THE US VERSION.. WOO HOO!!.
lol
The ONLY thing that I can find to bitch about is its size since I dont know if I can deal with it. For me, thats amazing. I find too many flaws in pretty much every phone that disqualify it from personal purchase.
The only other american phone I've had super low complaints about for its time, is my SGS1 that I'm still using.
Im not a fan of compromise at $600+. :)

size and build quality make it a definite no when thinking back to what HTC offers.....
71. doejon (Posts: 398; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
IHateAPPLE is right its
not as bigger as may a lot of people think
i thought the same but i hade both device in my hand.. its much better in the hand than the note 1
its right that this size is not for everyone but
i would first look 4 myself and than say something ;-)
4. NokiaLumia920 (Posts: 28; Member since: 29 Sep 2012)
As you switch, it lags.. its just a static screenshot as seen on Galaxy Note 10.1.
Don't be tricked by that marketing tactic until Android got full multi tasking at a time.

Nokia boy...i saw the video no lag and best of all it's not FAKE.
43. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
grow up mate, the fake vid is dead and buried
besides you act like samsung are perfect, why advertise a feature then not ship phones with it?
56. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Why don't you talk to your (limited-found trolling)buddy instead. He's the one claiming that this is a fake ad similar to the Nokia ones, which ain't actually the case. You don't kick in beehives and expect not to get stung, do you? Telling voxmarc to grow up is kinda hypocrite from a "neutral" guy.
It's a new feature, Samsung didn't have enough time to update all GNOTE II before shipping them.
But rest assured, they will all get it through a Kies or OTA update.
Unlike Nokia, not saying that the camera of the 920 is bad but it ain't(obviously not a DSLR) as good as promoted in the fake ads.
57. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
first not my ''buddy'' as no one on here is my buddy. second so when one says it that gives you the right to slate nokia and other phones......so you basically act just like the one you complain about smart ohh and your beehive thing.........come on thats so immature , you think you and your android lot are some force to be feared or summit
well what im learning is you cant be neutral on here, you have ifans saying random crap, fandroids doing the same, then the reasonable android users who are few. mainly this site is just full of fanboys
and back to the point be honest when they show a feature, especially one like this you would expect it to be shipped ready with it. the whole time thing isnt the case. so can apple claim they didnt have enough time to finish there maps off...becuase you android users have had a field day with that....see what im saying you do the same as those you complain about
and as for the 920's camera, its proved its good some say the best camera on a phone ( under the 808)
and i bet many android users will thumb this down
67. SleepingOz (unregistered)
When someone punch you first, you have the right to punch him back, it's called defense. I assume you must be some kind of jesus or ghandi in disguise, as you're telling me not to return the blow.
Yet you told voxmarc to grow up because he told the truth about Nokia faking their ads. Did he hit the weak spot of your fanboy ego, there?
Anyways, according to you, it's ok to troll and claim fake stuff about Samsung but it's taboo and childish to state facts about Nokia? See the hypocrisy?
Apple claimed that their maps were the best in world blablabla, that's why they got bashed.
Samsung never said that they'll ship the GNOTE II with this new feature. Expection sure leads to deception but it wasn't Samsung's fault. And I'm sure Samsung will make it available through an update asap.
Sure, the 920's cam is the best 8mp shooter atm but yet again still ain't as good as it was promoted in the fake ads.
Whether you like the fact that your beloved Nokia tried to mislead its customers or not, you gotta live with it, buddy.
70. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
you act like your in a fight, its just comments on phones yet you take it so damn personal like its against your family....whats up with that really
and as for sayin im some kind of jesus........mature really so because im bored of all the fanboy crap im seen as a passive nothing.
'' according to you, it's ok to troll and claim fake stuff about Samsung but it's taboo and childish to state facts about Nokia? See the hypocrisy?''
for f**ks sake seriously if you read some of my other comment ive defended samsung countless times against ifans and that nokialumia guy but if this is what android users are really like then whats the point of trying to be neutral and fair
as for the feature, if they show therenew phone using it, you expect automatically for that to be included...please if apple showed a feature then tnever brought it to there phone you guys would tear into it.
and as for fanboy ego? your more a fanboy then me. my beloved nokia? what is with you people and thinking a company is part of you get a grip.
but seriously i love how nokia prove there tech can do as they claim and you all rip into them samsung dont deliver a certain feature they show off and your quick to defend
but to end this crap, im done with all you android fans, i thought the ifans were the worst but least they dont hide, there dilusional rants are just that, but android fans pack together. look on the nokia articles and all the red thumbs and no it aint just ifans doing it
81. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Talking about taking it personal.. Why are you on every articles, trying to defend Nokia, whenever you spot a "Nokia fake ads" comment? Going as far as telling someone to grow up for telling the truth. Funny huh?
Yes Nokia proved that the Lumia920's camera is capable but just not as good as demonstrated in the fake ads. =]
82. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
,mate ive commented like 4 times about the fake ad crap...so why bring it up? ive seen you get all defensive when someone brings up android and lag
so its ok to defend only if its android.
end it with this lumia 920 camera does what they claimed and beats all flagship models out there
and samsung should of been shipping these with the feature's they show. why show something that doesnt come with it. same principle
83. SleepingOz (unregistered)
It's ok to defend whatsoever company against false accusations(Android is no longer laggy since ICS) not when the company itself recognise its guiltiness(Nokia faking ads).
"why show something that doesnt come with it"
'coz this feature came after the first shipments but they will get it through an OTA update soon. Unlike Nokia fanboys, who will never get the DSLR quality on their Lumia920 as advertised in the fake ads. So nopes, it ain't the same. LMAO!
84. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
mate your as big a fanboy as anyone else on here
you keep using the fake ad as your defence against nokia, i'll enjoy my 808 with a camera you wont be getting anytime soon
but i like how you think (sarcasm) that nokia fake the video but samsung dont deliver a feature that should be on all and its fine.........
85. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Sure I'm a fanboy, but I ain't in denial. =]
If one day, Samsung ever try to mislead their customers, I'll be the first one to bash them.
Going from the L920 to the 808, seems like you're lacking arguments. LMAO!
I'm more into SMARTphones than fat cameraphones anyways. Also I have my EOS 5D for my photos so no worries.
I'll enjoy my split screen multitasking soon enough on my next GNOTE II along with the actual users who will get it soon. And they best of all is that it will perform as advertised. =D
86. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
ok first i aint going from the 920 to the 808, the fact is i own the 808 so ofcourse i may bring it up. and good for you i like phones with some substance, not thin things that crack from dropping it once.
mate i hope for your sake samsung do deliver becuase the way you act its like samsung have never failed or done wrong.
ohh and nice little dig back to the nokia ad, so s beam is as fast as on the adverts is it etc. but cba with these pointless comments now. your one of few android users who are just like the ifans
87. SleepingOz (unregistered)
The GNOTE II did pretty well in the drop test. So I'm not concern with crack etc.. Also Samsung never advertised the GSIII as being a tough phone, there's the Galaxy Rugby for that.
S Beam from my brother's GSIII is as fast as advertised. Try it and see by yourself. =)
Also I can tell the same about you..
89. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
yeah i never said that samsung were claiming the s3 was tough but it wasnt the greatest built phone around, even android users have admitted this. but again its a great phone
see i wont slag off android like you do to nokia because there isnt any point to it.
im such a fanboy.......how exactly?
88. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Btw
"ohh and nice little dig back to the nokia ad"
Wasn't this dicussion about fake ads started by your friend, Lumia920?
I'm just sticking to it unlike you, deviating from the subject when you lack argument.
90. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
seroiusly he aint my friend, considering i defended samsung when he was spouting his crap...although now i regret it due to fanboys like yourself
you make it hard to be unbiased when you attack everyone who dont fall in line with you
and the fake ad, ive ended that ages ago as they have proved the camera lives up to claims
91. SleepingOz (unregistered)
"im such a fanboy.......how exactly?"
Just read all your previous comments above with an unbiased mind.
One clear example is you telling someone to grow up for telling the 'bitter'(for a Nokia fanboy) TRUTH!
Keep coming with "they have proved the camera lives up to claims". Sure, but not as capable as they claimed in the fake videos.
Why can't you just accept this FACT?
May be 'coz you're a fanboy.
92. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
yeah whatever mate
maybe your a little sore that despite the fake vid the 920 has a better camera then your android flagships plus is shaping up to be a real contender
and yeah nokia fanboy aint i, i never defend samsung or android do i?......well i doubt i will be anymore. all the ifans get it in the neck (yes most talk complete crap) but you android fans troll just as bad. on every article theres a android fan bringing up apple. even when there nothing to do with it.
and calling me bitter,..... unlike you i dont think im a part of the company. i know you think your in some sort of android army fighting apple and others but your not your just a person who has an android phone
like im just a person with a nokia phone, doesnt make me part of them and blindly follow them.
93. SleepingOz (unregistered)
See? Once again, when you're unable to argue you try to deviate from the subject.
"maybe your a little sore that despite the fake vid the 920 has a better camera then your android flagships plus is shaping up to be a real contender"
AHAHAHAHAHA.. And you keep telling me you're not a fanboy! LMAO!
FYI, as I told you several times before, I don't care about camera on smartphones. Otherwise I'd have never made the switch from my N8 to the GSII. I have my 5D for photography.
Haha.. yeah yeah.. Keep being in denial of this fact dude. It's a typical characteristic of the Nokia fanboy.
94. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
what am i denying then android fanboy?
yeah well done you have a camera and a phone, i only have to carry one device thats why i went for it. so becuase you dont care about the camera it aint worth bringing up....so all those that dont care about the nokia ad are the same, they dont care so why do you always bring it up like its some kind of winning blow for android?
95. SleepingOz (unregistered)
As I told you before, this dicussion is about Samsung faking ads which is not the case unlike Nokia.
Seems like you want the last word so badly but unable to, that's why you keep deviating from the subject again and again and making stupid speculations such as;
"maybe your a little sore that despite the fake vid the 920 has a better camera then your android flagships plus is shaping up to be a real contender" and "so s beam is as fast as on the adverts is it etc." when you lose ground.
Haha I'm loving it!
Well, I'll let you have it for this time.
Good night, buddy.
96. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
first you can comment after this if you like i just want to set things straight as you love to try twist things round
first- samsung showed this feature so why isnt it reasonable to expect to get it. it is false advertising in the sense there showing something you aint getting straight away
second- devianting how all comes back and responds to your comments so if you claim im devianting you must be aswell
third- lose ground, seriously get this whole battle crap out of your head, we arent in some kind of fight me on nokia's side you on android or samsung.....its stupid ive defended samsung many times yet you brand me a nokia fan, well i like nokia i also like sony and samsung and HTC so am i fanboys to them too.
finally
''Well, I'll let you have it for this time. ''
very arrogant mate

yeah needs some work but ohh well
19. matrix_neo (Posts: 334; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
Have you tried using galaxy note 2 in your own hand? If not stop trolling. Android advance to another level, unlike windows phone just only starting. When your Nokia will have the feature of split screen multitasking, maybe in the year 2020?
42. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
gotta say i find it funny how you android users say about trolls but then slag off other OS's like wp8
remember that every OS has to start somewhere just because android is doing well now doesnt mean wp8 wont either. as for features tech moves fast now so we can do nothing else but watch and see
just saying if you slate over OS's then expect others to do the same to you
i like android great OS, i also like nokia and how wp8 is looking
