[Galaxy Note II General] bigstarrynight:
Going on the financial performance of Samsung over the last 12-18 months, their product launch timing has been just about perfect. It is that aspect alone which has made a huge difference in the companies profitability, rather than winning with a superior product line-up. The Samsung marketing machine is about as good as it gets. So from the company point of view, yes, its about right. From the consumer point of view, it doesnt matter, unless of course you are worried about the Note Mk1 black crush screen issues and the eMMc bug, because I reckon Samsung will tough that out. I don't see the Note mk2 doing anything noticeably radical, but maybe doing stuff correctly that Mk1 should do, but doesn't. dare I say, the Note 2 will be the screen and eMMc bug fix.

Basically the marketing boys at Samsung are so good, they could polish a turd and sell it.

I will be getting it on day one, I know I shouldn't, but I will.

I was planning on getting the S3 on Black Friday, thinking "hmm...camera is really important to me and the S3 has really good camera reviews" and then BAM this pops up saying the Note 2 will have a 13MP camera...

If they can release it until Black Friday, that'd be awesome :laugh: That's how I got my current Note, at around 150$ discount, contract-free, so...might be something there :cool:

I will miss Cyanogen on it, though if it doesn't join it soon...
[Galaxy Note II General] Savage13:
As much as I love my Note, I think this may be the last Samsung device I purchase.

I used to have a HTC Desire and the build quality was awesome and doesn't feel cheap like the Note.

What's p*ssed me off the most though is the buggy updates and crappy support from Samsung.
[Galaxy Note II General] Final5k:
Agreed. Htc knows how to make good looking and robust devices! I remembered the great days of the HTC Diamond, Touch Pro2, Htc HD2, HTC Legend, Desire HD and so on...they had stylish designs that differentiates them from the crowd - the only complaint I had was that HTC cameras were really crap for such expensive phones and their expensive prices were sometimes exaggerated!!

Every Samsung phone is...well a Samsung phone as they all look more or less the same except the S3 now - rarely innovation on design.
[Galaxy Note II General] dasunh:
can not wait

Can not wait to use it
[Galaxy Note II General] crawlgsx:
I understand what you are both saying but I feel almost completely the opposite. While the HTC phones do feel a bit more solid, they also feel like bricks in my opinion. Overly heavy and thick camera bulge is not my thing. Irrelevant to me anyway unless they change screen tech though. I can't stand the color reproduction and 100% useless-in-sun screens HTC uses, the whole reason I went to Samsung in the first place. The Vivid and Skyrocket came out the same day and it only took me about 2 seconds of having both phones in my hand to conclude Samsung.
[Galaxy Note II General] Savage13:
Its down to personal preference at the end of the day, that's the beauty of android, we have so much choice and customization.
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
But in this new age of non unlimited data plans, how often do you do that?

That's the real question. If often, then fine. But I usually do large data jobs over wifi.
[Galaxy Note II General] Mc_CuLLa:
Apparently it wont have the ubp display? Id like it to have a quad core processor and a bit faster rom and also aslong as it has the same physical dimensions il be. Love my note wouldnt to back to any smaller
[Galaxy Note II General] TechPurist:
Please say it will have the Exynos 5 chip set!
[Galaxy Note II General] deserthi:
OK, for what it is worth.

This guy I work with (uses an Iphone 4s) has been telling me his brother works for Samsung android development and gets the newest phones before they are even out.

Today he came over to my desk and as he looked down at my note he said "I was with my brother this last weekend and he had the new model of the note".

I asked, was it any bigger and he looked hard at my note and said he didn't think it was any bigger. I asked was the screen any bigger but he didn't know. I think the guy is telling the truth because he has been telling me about his brother for a long time now but......:cool:
[Galaxy Note II General] NotablyNice:
My sister's boyfriend's cousin's friend said the same thing
[Galaxy Note II General] ngocdao:
LTE draining your battery is sooo last year. The U.S. version of the S3 proves that LTE can coexist within a phone without killing your battery.

Little market penetration? Where? Your country?
[Galaxy Note II General] Zamboney:
Tell him you want to meet his brother or at least borrow his phone for an hour.
[Galaxy Note II General] wonsanim:
Ok, my Note upgrade is almost on the way :o

Yes I am pissed off by ICS superbrick bugs and I am still in GB. But I like Samsung's way of keeping phone light. Weight = Expensive is thing of the past.
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
BGR claims confirmation that the galaxy note II is part of the august 15th announcement.

www.bgr.com/2012/07/23/samsung-galaxy-note-ii/

There's been various implications to say that's wrong, including someone noted the august 15th press release wasn't released by Samsungs Telecommunications, implying it isn't a cell phone.

Google needs a 'hide posts from web sites with a history of bogus confirmations' option.

[Galaxy Note II General] thehackersz:
ahh... planning to get nexus 7 soon, but my note screen is almost the same big as nexus 7. Will definitely get the note 2 which is the screen is bigger than current 5.5".

Should I, or Shouldn't I ?
[Galaxy Note II General] Kangal:
It's your money dude.

If you really want my opinion, send the money over to me.
[Galaxy Note II General] Gaugerer:
It is no accident that Apple gives a high priority to screen resolution on their phone, iPod and iPad for that is the main interface. Android devices need to catch and overtake Apple in that critical area to succeed and I would not buy a Note 2 unless the screen resolution is at least 1050 HD.
[Galaxy Note II General] Kangal:
But we live in planet Earth, not a perfect world
[Galaxy Note II General] panyan:
have you ever seen an iphone?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iOS_devices#iPhone

They have been lagging behind Android resolutions for ages, we are on 1280x800, the 4s is 960x540
[Galaxy Note II General] lagittaja:
I think you missed his point.

Sure the resolution is lower on the 4S but the screen is SMALLER also.

What that means is that the 4S has a higher PPI compared to a 5.3" @ 1280x800, 284 vs 329...

I would love to see the Note II to have a 1920x1200 resolution but I doubt it will have. Hopefully Note III will have a much higher resolution.
[Galaxy Note II General] emprize:
I dont know what is advantage of the 40 ppi difference, but i do know the 1.8" larger screen did give me huge better use of smart phone
[Galaxy Note II General] btentusscher:
When you look at the screen of the new Ipad, you realise how horrible the pentile system is. PPI is very important, but not sacred........I think.....
[Galaxy Note II General] NotablyNice:
Completely disagree. I hate the ipad screen compared to AMOLED
[Galaxy Note II General] lagittaja:
Of course AMOLED is better than IPS, but we were talking about the PPI not the screen technology..
[Galaxy Note II General] NotablyNice:
And I still disagree with you
[Galaxy Note II General] qazibasit:
PPI is nothing just a gimmic. Our retina csn perceive the pixelation at 170 PPI. So any screen higher than 170 ppi will show images without corners in simple term. So increasing it wont make the image more good.
[Galaxy Note II General] SquirtingCherry:
I'm going with "NotablyNice", i rather have a lower PPI and an AMOLED screen than a higher PPI and an "LCD" screen.

Once used to AMOLED it's hard to go back to an "LCD" display.

Even my Tab 10.1 looks like an oldtimer with the huge "LCD" screen.

It just cannot compete to the color rendering and view angles of an AMOLED screen.
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
Ppi is extremely overrated, not unlike mega pixels on a camera. Once you have enough, having more gives you very little benefit at the cost of everything else. I'd far prefer lower Ppi and a smoother battery friendly screen.
[Galaxy Note II General] Gaugerer:
If you want to see the big difference increased PPI makes try running the Solitaire game on the original Tab 7 (P1000) and compare that with the 7.7.

The cards on the P1000 are so large you can barely fit them on the scree,
[Galaxy Note II General] Geekybiker:
I don't care too much about LTE. I'll wait for a couple more chipset generations for them to get battery use under control. I really hope they do pentaband with 1700mhz support. That would be a big win in north america.
[Galaxy Note II General] anonymous572:
Note 2 with SGS3?
[Galaxy Note II General] beestee:
Meh. I've decided I want a Nexus5 even though there is nothing saying that it exists. My note will get me by until it does.
[Galaxy Note II General] Xdenwarrior:
Well, whether u guys like it or not, here is the official specs of Galaxy Note 2 (least based on actual leaks, not rumors):

1) Higher-clocked Exynos 4412 (Cortex A9 Quad at 1.6GHz with Mali400)

2) 2GB Ram

3) 5.5 inch UDP pentile 1280 by 720 pixel (Pentile has longer lifespan and stresses battery less than RGB, and 720p display instead of 800p for better software compatibility :) )

4) Bigger battery

5) Looks (still unknown)

LTE version will be Krait as usual

Regarding Exynos 5, Im bit surprised that they didnt use it in their Note 10.1 cause the whole point of Samsung advertising it was not really for having cortex a15 but for being able to push WQXGA resolution which would compete nicely with ''New iPad"

[Galaxy Note II General] awesome-member:
pen tile display ,exynos 4 ..... no thank you.
[Galaxy Note II General] emprize:
Poor spec, not even a improvement for me... i will only change to note2 if they can free exchange with note1
[Galaxy Note II General] vcespon:
Just calibarte the gamma of the screen correctly. Every other screen where I have seen the gammatest.png image shows the left squares as very dark. What the hell were they thinking?

I expect a device (laptop, tablet, ipod, whatever), to reproduce AUDIO and VIDEO in a proper way. I mean if recorded color is RGB (4,4,4), that should be pretty black and NOT medium gray.

If the recorded sound is 1345 Hz, I expect my speakers to reproduce 1435 Hz, not 1833 Hz. I think this is pretty basic stuff and they need to solve it before adding more 80 MB apps. I can install apps myself, the ones I need.

Samsung, stop adding half-cooked apps and make a hardware that works correctly.
[Galaxy Note II General] Randomwalker:
Sounds awesome, care to share the source?
[Galaxy Note II General] shaolin95:
If those specs are real it would be super lame really. Mali 400 AGAIN! A9 again!? Where is the real upgrade :(
[Galaxy Note II General] Randomwalker:
I always expected it to be a pimped S3, just as our Note is a pimped S2. So I was positively surprised by the 2GB RAM. Alos I like the concept, as it will be easier to port stuff from the S3.

About the GPU: I hardly have any issues with it on my Note right now and since the new one will actually have a lower resolution I guess it should be fine, as long as they clock it with 400MHz.
[Galaxy Note II General] shaolin95:
To me is a matter of way to little, when the A15 is already there and you can read about the new Mali already. :\ Yah I know about the GS2 and Note but I was expecting a bit more effort this time. Oh well. We shall see.
[Galaxy Note II General] goodvampire:
Guess that's what we have to do: wait and see !

Petty impatient though :)
[Galaxy Note II General] sonkameja:
This is a total side grade. I'll consider the note 3 next year but only if the camera is better

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

If they really improved the note then it would cannibalize their sales of their precious s3 ... kinda sissy girl thing to do imo
[Galaxy Note II General] mokokawi:
no.....then they would make more in their note2....and it would mean they have two precious phones....instead kf one,hello
[Galaxy Note II General] altae:
LTE definitely isn't going to make a difference with the upcoming phone generation. There are hardly any LTE networks available and when there are some they are limited to very few areas. E. g. in Switzerland there is one provider with a LTE network and it's limited to tourism destinations like Saint Moritz, Davos (the snobs at the WEF need something to play)... Maybe the situation will be different in two years but not now and not 2013.

[Galaxy Note II General] Spo0f:
One thing I don't get - what is the point of bigger screen of you'll have the same work space ... I mean - bigger screen means more work space and no bigger buttons ...
[Galaxy Note II General] Entropy512:
Yeah. Odd thing is the USA is actually ahead of the curve on LTE... But I think the carriers jumped the gun here.

1) It's pointless as every carrier that offers LTE also has draconian data caps - LTE just means you'll hit them faster and will be even more screwed if your device misbehaves and starts eating data without you knowing.

2) It's still not mature enough in terms of power consumption. 2013 might be the first year of devices where LTE doesn't come with a massive battery life hit compared to HSPA+. It's just like the EDGE to UMTS transition - it took 2-3 years minimum for UMTS to mature, and LTE only started rolling out last year.

3) LTE standardization is a total epic cluster****.
[Galaxy Note II General] altae:
Absolutely. What's more I don't see how LTE would improve my phone experience since all I do with my phone is surfing the web, reading emails, xda of course and a bit of WhatsApp. So the current maximum data throughput of 7.2 Mbit my carrier offers is more than enough for me. And even if I used all available multimedia features like video streaming and the like the improvement of LTE would be really small. So I'm far more interested in specs like a nice cpu, lots of ram, big screen, nice ui, convenient shape...

[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
I don't understand your work space. Do you mean what's the point of a bigger screen and no increase in resolution?

It allows you to use the work space more comfortably, and can make a very dense app that is still comfortable to use.

Ever try playing a really high res game on the Note? Some of them are just unplayable. Text is too small, objects you have to find/click on are so small you can barely see them. Etc. Ultra high resolution is nice for smoothing out edges of fonts and whatever, but it's really imho not worth the cost in smoothness/frame rate. YMMV, but I have yet to bump into someone who found the resolution drop noticable between the Note and their iphones.

- Frank
[Galaxy Note II General] Spo0f:
While I do agree with you, the problem is not only with the resolution. Bigger resolution gives you the option to use higher DPI to solve such problems.

Like the "retina" - everything is the same size, just looking better.

And besides - Samsung made this "jump" from S2->Note so it is not impossible :)

Galaxy Note II N7100 Official Specs, Details & Images:

http://pocketnow.com/2012/08/29/galaxy-note-ii-specs-images/

Thanks to a tipster, we’ve been handed the official press release for the Galaxy Note II, which is expected to be announced at IFA 2012 in just a few hours. The display of the Galaxy Note II will be 5.5″ and 1280×720 resolution (granting it a true 16:9 aspect ratio, but with lesser resolution than the original Galaxy Note which had 1280×800 pixels). Like the original Note, the display will be an HD Super AMOLED panel. The device will feature a 1.6GHz quad-core CPU (the type is not specified, but we’ll put our money on the Exynos) with 2GB of RAM and an 8MP camera on the rear and a 1.9MP camera on the front. It’ll be powered by an even-larger 3,100mAh battery (the original Note was 2,500mAh). Despite the larger battery, the Note II will be slightly thinner than the original at 9.4mm versus 9.65mm, but it’ll be heavier by 2 grams. It’ll be available in 16, 32, and 64 GB configurations and will have microSD expansion. In terms of wireless connectivity, the Note II will feature HSPA+ 21mbps, plus 4G LTE depending on model. It will run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box. In terms of availability, the Note II ships in October in Europe. It will be available in Marble White or Titanium Gray. No word on pricing or US availability.
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
It depends on what you do, however.

Try playing the demo of Avadon: The Black Fortress HD, and you'll see.

Higher resolution makes things more clear and crisp. But If you increase the resolution by say, 10x,

you can't just shrink everything by 10 times to pack more information on the screen. It'd be unusably small, and you'd need a microscope to read anything.

So there is diminishing gains as you increase DPI. How much depends on what you do, and how good your eyes are, and how close you hold your phone. The tradeoff in resolution is less battery life, and worse frame rates (which can be compensated by a faster CPU/GPU, which worsens battery life).

The real question, I guess is - what's the right balance, and I don't have an answer for that.

I can tell you however, that 1080p on a small screen is complete overkill for me.

I'm sure that the KDZ files for this will be flashable on our American friends' Nitro HD's to the south as well!
[LG Nitro HD] handsupdb:
It's just an "estimate release" so I doubt it will be right this month, however its pretty obvious that LG will release soon considering the state of the leak.

I wouldn't be surprised tho if they decide to take the work they have done and skip it over to jellybean, I mean, once CM9 has a single stable build theyre gonna skip ahead to CM10.

Once upon a time there was an "estimated release" for the G2x for GB, and it never came...

[LG Nitro HD] HO!NO!:
Like always they will wait for another big company (for this case AT&T) to do the hard work and then modify for there need.

So my prediction AT&T will be the first to upgrade to ics then bell or telus depend on who will first stop picking there nose....

:eek:
[LG Nitro HD] Cam R:
Well it did say MID July for ics.. Which should be right now.
[LG Nitro HD] Hutch89:
I would have thought at&t would've released their ics by now especially considering how well the leak from April performs. The fact that they haven't even made mention of it leads me to believe they may be working to skip ics altogether and go straight to jellybean. What do you think OhNo?
[LG Nitro HD] HO!NO!:
We gonna have 4.0.4 for sure

Don't forget it all depend from manufacturer (LG) and they have no plan right now for upgrading P930 to jelly bean.

All we can do is wait.
