Samsung GALAXY Note II Specs

Description

Samsung Galaxy Note II sports a slightly bigger, 5.5-inch display, a quad-core processor that gets rid of the slight lag in the original Note, and best of all Android 4.1 Jelly Bean right out of the box. The Galaxy Note II is armed with a brighter and larger 5.5” HD Super AMOLED display with resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. While this means that pixel density will be slightly lower compared to the original Note, in reality, the image quality shouldn't suffer any losses, as this screen used the standard RGB matrix, instead of PenTile, which means more subpixels, and ultimately – clarity. The bezel is slimmer, so despite the increase in screen size overall the device is not bigger. Powered by the same Samsung Exynos 4412 quad-core processor that's also found in the Galaxy S III, but clocked up, to the whopping 1.6GHz, the Note II will have no trouble running any application you can think of. The G Note II features an 8-megapixel back-side illuminated (BSI) rear camera and a 1.9-megapixel BSI front shooter. The Samsung Galaxy Note II will ship in three versions - a 16GB, 32GB and 64GB ones, with memory expandable via up to 64GB microSD cards making it possible to have as much as 128GB storage. The second-gen Note is coming with a humongous 3,100mAh battery that should get you through the day.

This device is also known as Samsung N7100

The best smartphone i ever had so far
Phone owned for more than a year

I actually just missing my note 2. It doesn't functioning at all. I think it might due to some viruses hacked in it... but idk. So i'd like to give it a review. What i really love about note 2 was that it didn't get easily break even though it had been so many times slipping off from my hand (might due to its casing design). I sometimes like to throw it on my bed but it went bounced and fell off from the bed. Not to mention but it had an experience where i was having a debate with my friend while my hand was making gestures to stand up my opinion as well as holding it and i suddenly threw it away (bcs of the hand gestures). But still, it worked just fine. Nothing was broken. No scratch at all. Really love the build. Second, i just love how the system worked. Since i am a student, i really need multitasking display apps. Hence i like its multi-window. Its ram was only 1.74gb but it worked really fine when i played heavy games. Plus, i always ensure the ram wasn't fully operating to avoid it from being lagged. Note 2 can only stand for kitkat hence i love the display. Not too bright. Just a bit dimmer. Since im not a professional photographer or a photogenic, so i dont really mind about its camera. However i would like to say that its front camera had a poor quality. 2MP anyway. What do u expect? Next, the connection was okay. No comment for it. I could surf the internet like normal. Nothing special. Well i think that's all for my review. Had no other idea. Overall, i love note 2. Been using it for more than 2 years. And now i have to find the new one. :)

A bit old, but still breathtaking.
Phone owned for more than a year

Today is September 20, 2015 and I've had this phone since December 2013. Well, I'm a big fan of Android phones, I see the news about them every single day, and I can tell, I've never had such a great phone (until now). Despite being outdated, having a bloated stock rom and a s**tty build quality, it can still compete with actual medium-high end phones, especially talking about performance and camera quality. However, the best way to take the phone's full potential is rooting it and installing a custom rom. By doing this, it's possible to have the S-Pen Air Command feature (that awesome thing we see on Note 3 when we press the S-Pen button) and some other nice things we see on recent phones. If you do not want to spend much money on a phone you don't care about updates, it's surely the best option.
