Samsung Galaxy Note II Review
by Michael Fisher "Is it a phone? Is it a tablet? It's Galaxy Note!" So read the quote that kicked off the ad campaign surrounding the original Galaxy Note , the 5.3-inch hybrid device Samsung unveiled last year.
Pros:
- + Huge
- brilliant display + Â Powerful custom multitasking + Â Good battery life + Â S Pen useful in various scenarios + Â Android Jelly Bean with TouchWiz Nature UX + Â Excellent camera
Cons:
- - Â Casing material slick and prone to scratches - Â S Pen less useful than it could be - Â Too large and heavy for some users - Â UI lag is slight
- but shouldn't exist on such powerful hardware

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 review
The original Note almost nailed the whole "phablet" concept, but the Note 2 finishes the job. It's undeniably too big to be many people's smartphone, while being too small – and too expensive – to be a credible rival to the Google Nexus 7 or the Kindle Fire HD.
Pros:
- Big and beautiful screen
- Extremely versatile
- Superb pen & handwriting technology
- Good performance & battery life
Cons:
- Big & expensive
- S Voice still doesn't impress

Bigger and better: Samsung's Galaxy Note II 4G reviewed
The second of Samsung's big phones to be released, the Galaxy Note 2 is one massive device. Featuring a 5.5 inch screen, you'll never call the 4.8 inch Galaxy S3 a big phone again, and while that huge display is one of the reasons to draw you to the Note II, it's the little things and performance...
Pros:
- Strong performance in the operating system
- Fantastically fast 4G connection
- Just over a day's battery life on 4G
- more if you use your phone less
- One handed operation mode makes it possible to use the phone's core functions with one hand
- Split-screen multitasking works a treat
- Homescreens that
Cons:
- Screen resolution isn't as high as last Note
- Not every app can go to split-screen
- Android exhibits the same bugs in the 4G S3
- so you can't switch out your dock shortcuts

Samsung Galaxy Note II (Verizon Wireless)
The Galaxy Note II for Verizon Wireless ($299.99 direct) is many things, but above all, it's the most phone there is. It gives you more screen, more processor, and more OS than almost any other phone out there.
Cons:
- Very large
- A few minor hiccups in gaming performance
- Samsung's heavy UI layer isn't to everyone's taste

- Significantly improved S Pen ergonomics and performance
- Excellent battery life
- Powerful quad-core processor
- Very good photos and video
- Stellar call quality
- Strong
- clean loudspeaker
Cons:
- Subpar sound recording with video footage

It's fast, it's smart, it has lots of tools that could help you, and it has a battery life that could last you a day or two without charging. Also, the display is great if you love reading books but don't want to bring your giant iPad or Kindle, this is a good alternative.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2
IT SOUNDS pretty ridiculous that some vendors now sell phones that are almost too big to fit in your hands, but for some bizarre reason, phone-tablets - or "phablets" if you allow yourself to say it - are becoming more popular as the months go on.
Pros:
- Huge clear and bright screen
- super-fast and responsive
Cons:
- Too wide for smaller hands
- app icons on home screen made bigger instead of adding an extra row
- The back panel is too flimsy
