I had the Note from last October to this April, before changed to the One X. Back then I was planing to upgrade to Note 2 when it come out again. However, since I got the Nexus 7 for £200 last month, I find hard justify spend over £500 again for the new Note, especially when I'm happy to carry my Nexus 7 with a mifi device out and about.

Still, looking forward to see when the new Note will bring to the table.

Lol...just 1.6 ghz quad-core, 5.5'inch with reduced resolution (betting my money its still PENTILE)....

What a waste of time. Lol.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
If that's it, i'll be pretty happy with that. It basically wipes out all my current gripes with my Note (1).

Improvements:

1) I think I see a notification light

2) 2 GB Ram

3) quad core.

4) thicker s-pen is nice.

5) 24% larger battery

6) Power button looks much further down, so it shouldn't be hit as much

7) slightly (2%) larger screen

Negatives:

1) lower resolution is too bad, but as I posted elsewhere, having same res as the S3 should mean much less app incompatibility.

it's 6% less DPI.

'sames' :

still have hardware buttons, thank god.

I hope it's not any longer than the current Note.

And of course the big question - how much.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kersh:
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.

Beyond the specs, the Note II brings some new functionality to the table in terms of the S-Pen feature. To start, the new S-Pen is longer, thicker, and features an improved design to be more ergonomic. There is a new feature called Air View that ?allows users to hover with the S-Pen over an email, image gallery, or video to preview the content without having to open it.? And, just like Popup Play which lets you watch a video while doing another task, Popup Note lets you keep a note on the screen while using another application. There?s also a new feature called Quick Command that is accessed with an upward swipe with the S-Pen; doing so will reveal a menu of quick commands to send someone an email, make a call, or do a search. Finally, the Note II has a Screen Recorder function that lets a user record a demonstration of how to use an application, for instance.

- lower resolution 1280*720 still pentile, true resolution of 1045x587

- mediocre quad core that can't compete against S4 pro

- 2GB of ram, at last but we don't know if it is for 3G version too.

A minor general upgrade and a downgrade in screen. Meh device that could sell less than the original due to greedy samsung trying to save on cost or technology like RGB screen or A15 processors.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TopOfNewYork:
My 2 cents on this and maybe I can be convinced otherwise maybe there's something I don't know

Note II is garbage, its not II, its more like Note 1.5

u guys are really getting got by Samsung for this? .... I thought everyone was passing or do u guys not have N7000s?

Buying a note II (unless budgets are no object 4 u) and u own a Note I, makes zero sense to me at this time

For me, failure to upgrade the Note I to something that's significantly better or new just gives other companies like HTC a chance to get my business back... I like the screen size, on my N7000 ALOT but it's basically a sgII, i need more power, more high end, next generation stuff, I don't want a mass produced device that is selling like hot cakes or an apple style device that skimps on the hardware but charges high end prices

Also I don't want a sgIII w a slightly larger body, I want something different, something better than the standard flagship device everyone is rocking, I want a top of the line niche device

Just my opinion this thread is an opinion thread

Bah this is a Note 1.5, no reason to upgrade from a Note 1 ...Samsung are becoming a new type of Apple. Not focused on top of the line anymore but just on sales. Release a new version jsut to gain the fan boys .I bet it will be 699 euros in Europe too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] StefanoDurden:
The battery is really a good improvement, but (fortunately) it doesn't worth the "upgrade" to me.

I bought the Note 1 last april and it's going to receive officially JB soon. No way I'm switching to the Note 2 just because of the battery.

Even the ratio of the screen doesn't look that good to surf the internet when you use it horizontally because it's too long... I don't know, I'm waiting for the next googlephone to see if they come out with something useful. Or maybe if the note 3 will have the exynos 5, there's gonna be a lot of improvements out there.

Have you seen the latest LG? The Optimus G? We can agree they are s*n of a b***** when it comes to updates (I had a optimus 2x that I sold last sunday :) ) but they try to put into the market something unique... like a 13 megapixels camera (I know megapixel isn't really important and doesn't really affect the quality of the pics) and sony at IFA today announced 2 other phones with 13 megapixels camera....

Something that we really need now is not more power (of course we need, but they already know how to work on that)... we need a revolution about battery life!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Strategist:
They have some notches on the button so they probably feel that users will be able to find the button by touch alone.

I won't be buying the Note 2 but I think it's a decent enough device. If these specs are correct you get quad-core, 2GB RAM and 25% bigger battery; I think that's a pretty significant upgrade. Plus I personally like the GS3 design on which the Note 2 is obviously based. The reduced resolution probably won't make that big a difference in practice. Some of the software features like Popup Note look pretty neat too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Final5k:
The Note 2 is really nothing to be excited since it is only a minor upgrade to the Note 1. Nothing revolutionary that we have not seen before. Seems it is an easy way for Samsung to get max cash with a bigger variant of the S3-->Note2 and S2-->Note1.

Don't know if they might attract more customers but I will definitely get the Note2 after only 5-7months to avoid any bugs or hardware problems from the early batch that will be sold to early adopters. I'll choose to be extra careful from Samsung phones now after the emmc bug fiasco - if I knew about it earlier I would have get the US version........
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bingoig11:
Think I'm going to think about upgrading until it's officially released in France depending on price...If I can get a good price for my Note maybe I'll upgrade, otherwise I won't.

But the Note 2 is definitely a big S3.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Painless001:
Looks like a reasonable upgrade to me - processor, RAM, battery all good improvements. How much more can they really do to an already brilliant device?

But I won't upgrade my Note until LTE starts rolling out in the UK and we need new hardware to use it here...

It's not Pentile

The display resolution is the same as with the original Note, 1280 x 720, and the technology employed is still Super AMOLED, though the Pentile subpixel arrangement has finally been put in the past. It's still not a perfect stripe of RGB pixels as you might get on LG's IPS displays or the laudable HTC One X, but it's somewhere in between. An improvement, in any case. Copied a. X. Pasted from the verge
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Strategist:
Overall the Galaxy Note 2 is a really solid sequel to the Note.

Quadcore

2GB RAM

25% bigger battery

LED indicator

Screen technology which appears to be better than Pentile though I am a bit confused about this.

Improved S-pen

And some very cool software stuff especially with the hover function.

I will still probably hold out for the Note 3 because I am a once-in-two-years guy but the Note 2 definitely meets my expectations. If I were buying a new phone it would be the Note 2 without any doubt.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
The 16:10 ratio was what separated the note series from the S S series. Now that they ditched that, this is simply a glorified S3 with a larger screen.

And the screen is disappointing. Still a pentile but with improvements. It needs to be a plus at this point.

First time I've seen companies take a step back in screen resolution.

And I'm not touching another amoled screen until it can resolve the black crush issue.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RollingStar:
No. The original note's resolution is 1280 x 800, and the screen on the Note II is still pentile, like the original Note. I think the Note II is a solid improvement in terms of internal specs (and an LED indicator, finally!) but screen wise, it's somewhat of a downgrade.

HD Super AMOLED

The Galaxy Nexus, with an HD Super AMOLED screen[21]

HD Super AMOLED is a branding from Samsung for an HD-resolution (>1280x720) Super AMOLED display. The first device to use it was the Samsung Galaxy Note. The higher pixel density required a change back to an RGBG-matrix (PenTile) with fewer subpixels instead of the RGB RGB arrangement

My 2cent on SGN2

My next phone has to have 2GB RAM minimum and there is no compromise with that. So, this is rather good news SGN2 has enough memory. However, I'm not in a rush to choose this phone as superphones are about to be unleashed in very late 2012 or in early (Q1) 2013.

The most let down with SGN2 is its exterior design which is so uninspiring and the GPU capability which boosted with overclock offering, Mali400. The next GPU generations will be un-thought of in mobile space and comply with various graphic standards.

Most of software features in SGN2 are cosmetic with no real practical or features one would continue to use once the excitements have settled down. Most of these features would end up consuming a significant portion of the 2GB RAM. In my case I would remove them as much as possible as I have done with my Note which freed up about 150MB of RAM.

Without a doubt SGN2 is very capable device and I would consider getting one when the price was significantly dropped (£15pm x 18) and web browsing time from 4-4:30 hours in original Note improved to 6-6:30 hours at least. Mind you Motorola Razr Maxx (GSM) offers a little over 9 hours with the same battery capacity but on much smaller screen.

I have a feeling a superphone with 5" screen size would win me over in early next year when one of my contracts is up around February. I have to admit I'm no longer a fan of Samsung's screen technology after my experience with banding and very poor power consumption.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] este548:
Well, from what I saw it is pretty much expected but not charming upgrade. Will skip this one for sure, probably even Note 3, if they only put another 2 cores and another 2 gigs of RAM. The new features are more just the fancy stuff for couple of days until forgotten as already wrote someone before me. Once you try Onlive gaming (you just need 2Mb client and thats it), there is no need for any graphic or processor upgrades anymore and frankly, those games look much better for me then the same ones installed into Note itself. And original Note form factor fits much better to phablet image then the new taller frame, but that is just my view.

Real upgrade would be e.g. full fledged original docking station with possibility to hook 20+ monitor, keyboard and mouse, simply the stuff that gives me more power and options for real work. How many artists are out there just using S-pen or how many free time windows someone has to play with Polaris office and try to do something real, or that one video merging/splitting stuff, given you the have comfort of quadcore PC just by your side ... ? They should keep the fancy stuff for SIII, this is more like a phone or a toy ... ;) -- Anyway, unpacking is finally over, coming back to relaxed days with Note 1 again ... :)
