I made a small fun video about size/dimensions comparison between Galaxy Note II and Note I

[YOUTUBE]PRt-F7mm9Bo[/YOUTUBE]

MORE videos about the Galaxy Note 2 to come... (hands on, quick review, S cloud, S pen, air view, comparison to Galaxy S3, and more...)

I was at the unpacking event too! Amazing experience guys! :)

[YOUTUBE]n2dSKLN85xo[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
Just wondering....was it possible for those of you went to ifa to buy the note 2 there? Because I saw quite a few reviewers on youtube reviewing the note in their hotels
[Galaxy Note II General] tolisHD:
No, it was not possible to buy it at IFA. Samsung gave it to us(Samsung mobilers) at the hotel for a hands on, a day after the unpack.

Actually I was one of those who saw it first, before the unpack, as I was chosen by Samsung as a "last minute" promoter, replacing the Indian blogger who didn't want to wear the Samsung T-shirt and made all this unfair fuss at the media!

Here is a photo of me at the unpack holding the Galaxy Note II !!!
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
So to be chosen as a promoter, they wouldve told you quite a lot about the phone right? Maybe you can help us to answer the question about whether or not the note 2 has all the features and functionalities as the s3?!
[Galaxy Note II General] tolisHD:
Yes it has all the features and functionalities of the s3! (motions, smart stay, smart alert, direct call, pop up play(+it's now resizeable), s beam, LED indicator(+ 1 more option), etc...)

plus more with the s pen like: pop up note, air view...
[Galaxy Note II General] Cheater585:
Does the galaxy note 2's camera has the zero shutter lag feature?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II General] DMax99:
I think it does as I have seen it in the youtube videos
[Galaxy Note II General] tolisHD:
Yes it has!
[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
Never mind just ,watched the comparison video you have posted, and thanks for the info.

Where did he find a SG Note 2?:confused:

Is your friend related to Samsung's CEO?!:eek:
[Galaxy Note II General] RRibeiro:
Here is the official samsung page for the Galaxy Note 2

[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
Hey, the screen IS 5.55", not 5.5". I was wondering about that.

Nice - that means the area ia 13.16 sq mm, versus 12.91, so we're looking at 4.2% larger than the note 1 now. (versus 2.2)

.
[Galaxy Note II General] psicolizzard:
Great..this is a great update...
[Galaxy Note II General] msedek:
Erm I just got chocked today as my carrier announced LTE beta tests today and start providing LTE in late October... Something I was more than sure would not happen for at least 2 or more years... So I was not worried about note 2 not having lte support for the international version but now that's my main feature to get... But then I visited samsung official note 2 Site and found this:

Network

3G: HSPA+21Mbps(HSDPA 21Mbps / HSUPA 5.76Mbps)4G LTE: 100Mbps / 50Mbps

Does this mean that international note (first to be released) does have lte? :confused: If so.. That's like the best news of the year along with my carrier providing LTE in about 2 months lol..

[Galaxy Note II General] CreepyDroid:
Anyone heard anything about wireless charging ? Does the note II support it ? And when the GS3's wireless charger is going to hit the market ?
[Galaxy Note II General] wonsanim:
Looks like Samsung plan to do a huge Galaxy Note II launch! already confirmation from 3 of the biggest us carriers AT&T,Sprint and T-Mobile.:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note II General] webstudiolund:
I'm really sorry. My friend was convinced that he had bought the latest Note, and I did not check it out. It now looks like he has got the older one.

My apologies - I did not mean to cheat anybody - just had a simple question, and got into the wrong thread. I will do some searches in the GT-N7000 forum istead and will probably find answers, just like every time before.
[Galaxy Note II General] brooon:
What?! Is that true?! Would you mind to share some pics? :)
[Galaxy Note II General] DanielW81:

Want! :eek:
[Galaxy Note II General] webstudiolund:
Mod edit:

I've asked my friend to check which one he has got. If 2 is not yet released then it can't be 2. Nevertheles, my question was about connecting to a wi-fi network that does not broadcast the network id. It connects when broadcasting is on, but does not work when I turn it off.
[Galaxy Note II General] msedek:
Either if it's note 1 or 2, this its not a Q&A section... If it's note 1 related issue go to Q&A section if it's a note 2 issue (put any crazy reason of why your friend has already a note 2 here) there's no posible way for ANY of us here to answer your questions because NO ONE in this forum has THAT device yet..

And for last but not the least

[Galaxy Note II General] brooon:
Yeah I saw that too...I really don´t understand why Samsung only sells these phones in China. There are definitly 5 guys + me only in my "crew" who would LOVE to see an S3 or a Note with DualSim functions, as we live near to three borders here (welcome to europe...). But what is it that we got to see here when it comes to dual sim phones? Cheap, ugly devices that nobody would ever like to buy.
[Galaxy Note II General] stesteste:
haha love the video
[Galaxy Note II General] webstudiolund:
Sorry man, it shows that my collegue was wrong - he had not bought the latest Galaxy Note, he just thought so. :o

[Galaxy Note II General] gedster314:
I'm very interested in the dual sim version that just popped. I hope it gets released and has compatible frequencies for the US. I'ld be very interested in buying one if the cost is within $100 of what the standard version costs.
[Galaxy Note II General] elevul:
Same.
[Galaxy Note II General] ChodTheWacko:
I'm not sure if this is a dumb question or not, but here goes:

The current leaks indicate the AT&T note 2 (I317) is (roughly?) identical to the International Note 2 (N7100).

It appears to have the same GPU/CPU.

If that's the case, would that mean that ROMS for the N7100 would work on the I317?

I'm trying to decide the differences between buying the international unlocked note, and buying a AT&T note 2 (on contract) and getting it unlocked afterwards. It's a pretty big price difference, and it's nice the AT&T note appears to still have the home button.

Not worth the upgrade

I have the original note and cant justify the upgrade, Im gonna buy a nexus 7 instead once they get their quality issues sorted.
[Galaxy Note II General] don2012:
Iphone 5 is here ....another crap..but iPod is really good

I will buy s3. note is already big...lol
[Galaxy Note II General] freemini:
Right now, only thing deciding note 2 or iPhone 5 is LTE for Norway. If note 2 supports the bands then I'll get it, if not I want LTE so another iPhone even though I'm getting sick of it.
[Galaxy Note II General] msedek:
"getting sick"? lol Im beyon sick and never owned 1 lol... and I never Will... what kept me away from those bastards from the begining was the racist way they released the device... locked and only for at&t and whatever else and for USA only.. so I was not good enough or my money was not good enough to get a fking device and use it with whatever carrier i wanted? fk apple and their icrap.. so i went blackberry straight and kept using blackberry devices wich are not bad at all for around 4 years.. very happy with it first was bold 9000 for 2 years then jumped to bold 2 for 2 more years.. very pleased with the premium Feel and the good stuff.. sadly they have some flaws to little apps and expensive(and no touch screen).. and of course no development at all.. then i tried my boss's Galaxy S and felt inlove with it... started my research about android and devices and found the recently released galazy s2 i was like wow.. sadly i had to wait until december 2011 to get it but then i found the Gnex.. its was love at first sigh ..bought it and been loving android since then... and like i said i will never get an icrap in my life

Tapatalking on my N7000
[Galaxy Note II General] freemini:
Not surprised of your response, I've noticed since the sgs2 there's simply no reasoning if you even mention iPhones and I won't keep beating a dead horse by trying to "explain myself". If it makes you "happy" I'm still not sure as I found both don't support 2600mhz LTE.
[Galaxy Note II General] nzweers:
If you already own the note 1 than the note 2 doesn't seem worth it. The screen is not not as wide, which isn't nice when you usually browse vertically. And the rest of the upgrades are not really worth it like the quad-core which will only be used in games or the 2gb internal memory which the OS won't use anyway.

What is interesting about the note 2 is the smaller soc which is 32nm instead of 45nm which should mean it uses 20-30% less power according to wiki. And the slightly larger battery. Although I am thinking about slapping the extended battery on my note.
[Galaxy Note II General] freemini:
I thought the Note has very good battery life. Shouldn't it be on par or better than SGS3(which has been praised AFAIK)?
[Galaxy Note II General] Davrat:
I'd say from looking at this video there are many reasons to upgrade to the Note 2, I'm certainly going to be seeing if I can rationalise my want to a need so I can justify buying one several months before my current contract runs out! :)

[YOUTUBE]hOX3HYDwTCY[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
Like I always say, its better to here from someone who has the device. I'll have it Tuesday and I'll report back to you guys:)
[Galaxy Note II General] MoonCocoon:
Yes, the video looks awesome. However, most of the features are software based and I suppose they are portable. I'll wait for a few month and see.

PS: the price drops quickly as well in a few month.
[Galaxy Note II General] vipfreak:
The more I see video of the Note II the more envious I'm getting of the... Software.

Hopefully some of it will make it to the Note I... :\
[Galaxy Note II General] tbong777:
I was ready to dump my Note for $250 and jump on the Note II but the more I read and see the less I see the need for the "upgrade". More memory....meh I never run out of what I have.

I think we are getting into the realm of Spec buying with little real return. There aren't any apps that would benefit from 2GB of memory nor do i need that many open. At most i have GPS, Music Play and the phone going at the same time while on my bike. Android manages memory pretty well, Then there is the screen which requires magnification to realize any real world benefit.

I think the Devs working on the Note 1 will make it worthwhile for a long time. LTE is a battery hog and for most applications unnecessary. I am streaming radio and video on MediaNet just fine, with very few glitches. Between that and usin Go Launcher which does consume lots of memory I don;t have any reason to upgrade this time around. I still love the wife's SGS II i9100 and bought a cheap back up we can still swap our SIMs in.

I think I will instead spend the money on a WIN 7 Tablet computer,

Galaxy Note 2

Nice phone. Huge 5,5 inch HD screen, I have LG Optimus L7 with 4,3", and the screen is great for web surfing.
[Galaxy Note II General] eRode:
i see this has turned into a thread for people to talk themselves out of upgrading and keyboard analysts basimg their rationale on internets of very misinformed people

some even says in this thread that the screen is still pentile....let me just tell u that the note 2 renders the last version absolutely obsolete. it is THAT good.

this forum is so full of fudge
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
This phone is amazing! The screen is so clear outside!!!!
[Galaxy Note II General] Davrat:
Been playing with the white variant today, hate the white and it does look like a very big S3! The change in proportions means it fits in my hand better and it is incredible fast and smooth, great screen as well.

Definitely going to try and upgrade this side of Christmas.
[Galaxy Note II General] MadfishGTB:
Just ordered mine :)

Well, just signed up for mine with Three tonight, 2 year contract, £36/month and £69 for the handset...

Had a struggle trying to get the Grey version as they had much more stock of white units which they kept trying to sell me. After insisting I wanted a grey one they managed to find one and arranged to deliver it on Thursday

Can't wait :)
[Galaxy Note II General] snakkarike:
will the note 2 have the 32gb variant when it hits the stores in india??
[Galaxy Note II General] j89:
Unlikely. Will make it pricier anywhere and memory cards are so cheap.

16GB is good enough for a phone with memory slots.
[Galaxy Note II General] :
From AC article, S3 vs Note2 display comparison.
[Galaxy Note II General] Beards:
Memory cards are not always the answer though........

When you install any new apps they get installed to the main memory... it's not the apps though that are the problem it's the huge amounts of additional data files that need to be installed after the main app has been installed.

These data files are getting bigger each day. We are already seeing games over 1GB in size and the same can be said for a few serious programs.

Now if you root your device you can send these large data files over to your external micro sd card but for the majority who don't frequent forums and understand about customisation it will be they who will find it not long before their 16GB (11GB left after the main ROM installation) is consumed and no other apps/games will be able to be installed.

So, a 16GB model may not always be the right purchase.

"As you can expect, the S Pen also comes into play when using the browser. With it, you can hover over elements of the page as you would with a mouse (very, very few smartphones can do this and this is the first to do it properly). This comes in quite convenient for all those sites that haven't updated their interface yet to work well on a touchscreen (where you can tap something, but not hover over it)."

I just tried it and it works.

It is a little inconsistant - it doesn't work in chrome.

It works on stock browser (of course), dolphin, and mobile opera.

and OH MY GOD is this a fantastic way to show off the phone.

Go to facebook, view full site (which is amazing enough)

Now go to a picture with a bunch of tags and just hover above each person to see who is who.

AWESOME!

I do have one huge issue though with note 2 the screen quality, the icons and text are not as sharp as on the S3. Everything else is better, faster, smooother.

[Galaxy Note II General] masterppgi:
I had the Note. It was performing well, but it heats up like a flat iron when I use it, even when im browsing with chrome.

When I installed the leaked JB ROM for N7000, it felt like there's something lacking. Tried out a friend's Note II, and decided to switch.

I'm using the Note II for a week, and I'm very much satisfied with it's performance. And it doesn't heat up as much as the first Note. :beer: :)

Upgrade to Note 2

I also upgraded and I promise you it is worth the money.You cannot even compare the two. The new Note has really astounding and innovative features. I would like my applications on my 64GB card, though. I think that is the only downside.

[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
Obviously this is meant for the owners of the first generation Note who have bricked their phones, like myself, and still want to get another one but don't want to slash out there money for the same device! ! Will wait and feel it in person when released.
[Galaxy Note II General] irie.irie:
Presumably not mentioned in the slick promo presentation, but will the brick bug be fixed on the Note 2!
[Galaxy Note II General] NewMagic:
Note II also supports apt-x codec over bluetooth - watched the IFA Samsung event and paused on the specs when they came up on the big screen and noticed it.
[Galaxy Note II General] Nemesis_00:
The screen is definitely not Pentile.

Pentile is RGBG layout, while on the note 2 it's clear each pixel is made of 3 distinct RGB sub-pixels.

They are just not arranged as a stripe.
[Galaxy Note II General] N4KA:
Can the new S-Pen features be ported to a ROM (hover, action when taking out the pen etc.)?

Or would I have to use alternative apps for that? Would be disappointing becausw TW looks still quite ugly and slow.

However the device itself looks nice. Much better than the SIII, because of the less rounded edges.
[Galaxy Note II General] vansmuk:
PenTile does not equal RGBG. It can still be PenTile matrix but with different arrangement. But lets wait for some more insight on the subject:)

On the other subject - aside from the zero-shutter lag camera and the quad-core ( which u got virtually no practical use for, except in benchmarks. . yet ) we'r talking about the same phone with some software spoils, which will get ported anyway. Shame really, but business is business ;)

I like the new 1280x720 resolution too. Assures less app compatibility issues and native 16:9. Don't give a hairy rat's ass for the less DPI and whoever does is a bit of an idiot ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] Czechnology.cz:
While most of you are talking about upgrading fron Note to Note II, I'm a user of Dell Streak that is slowly breaking down :(

So how about those of us who are thinking about getting their first Note phone/tablet? Is it worth the wait? How steep do you expect the price to be in the first weeks?
[Galaxy Note II General] SealsNavie:
Does anyone know if the Note2 battery will fit the Note1?
[Galaxy Note II General] zkyevolved:
I don't think we'll know this for a while. But I doubt it will fit, though.

Can anyone verify that it has a Notification LED? Yes, yes. I saw the blue light on the Verge video, but does that mean it's a notification LED? it could just indicate coverage or bluetooth. In fact, that blue light doesn't appear again either. So it only flashed once.
[Galaxy Note II General] sleepbaker:
What I would be really interested in, is if the new S-Pen would work with our Note 1? The improved pressure sensitivity sounds like the most interesting renewal on that Device. Apart of the improved functionality of the S-Pen I don't really see a reason to switch then.
[Galaxy Note II General] Kcake:
I wonder if the Note 2 firmware can be ported to The Note 1. I highly doubt it as the s3 firmware still hasn't been ported to the s2. I would love all the theming aspects to come to the note 1. Like the notification drawer etc.

---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

Yes, it works on the note 1. But it won't fit into the Note 1's stylus holder.
[Galaxy Note II General] babsmatter:
In Wi-Fi wireless networking, dual band is the capability to transmit on the 5 GHz band of 802.11a and also the 2.4 GHz band used by 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n. Unlike ordinary Wi-Fi equipment that only supports one signal band, dual-band gear contain two different types of wireless radios that can support connections on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz links.
