User Reviews
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. :)

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 Despite being outdated, having a bloated stock rom and a s**tty build quality, it can still compete with actual medium-high end phones, especially talking about performance and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.
- Lots of resources and settings.
- S-Pen and its apps.
- Awesome battery life.
- Outstanding audio recording and listening.
- Big, high definition screen.
- Awful build quality.
- Easily breakable screen.
- Horrible low-light shooting.
- Outdated, stuck on Kitkat 4.4.2.
- Needs a custom rom to prove its full potential, and much people don't want to.
Needs a new software refreshment btw it's a good phone till now, still beast of a phone as a flagship only a software treatments and it will be awesome, great and gorgeous battery life hoping for an update.
