I agree. Its like comparing The Big Show with Ray Mysterio. (WWE fans will get it). Lol!!
[Galaxy Note II General] freemini:
And the Note 2 is somehow a complete change? Look at it, it's not. The phone doesn't look that much different but it is better in every single way, same goes for iPhone 5. Slightly bigger screen, better CPU, better everything.

If it's small doesn't mean it's only for women or whatever. Maybe some people don't want a huge chunk of phone in their pockets, I'm telling this from experience, the GNex was absolutely huge in my pocket. Even with that I'm willing to try out the Note 2. I'm open to change, I don't like certain think about both phones(even though I'll admit note 2 has less ATM).
[Galaxy Note II General] Gaugerer:
Apple has finally had to admit that the iPhone is too small and increased the size to 4 inches. It has also realised that the 16:9 format is better for viewing media and has adapted that too, but sticks with the iPhone and iPad solution.

Samsung has also changed the Note 2 format to 16:9 format but believes that the Note 2 is small enough to be used as a phone, camera, satnav etc. yet large enough to be used as a tablet.

The big difference between the iPhone and the Note 2 is the S-Pen which helps when selecting items on the small screen and opens up a whole new range of applications.

If you can only afford one device then the Note 2 does the best job of working as a phone and tablet.
[Galaxy Note II General] Castellano2:
There is nothing to compare
[Galaxy Note II General] Rhino-2-Horny:
samsung is holding back for now but htc has already started the court process to sue apple for the Lte with its share of the Patent...maybe samsung is seeing how it progresses and then jump in with a splash :D

and for those going on about the size the note 2 it is not the same size as the note 1 they managed to increse screen size while lowering the width with narower bezel so its closer to glaxay 3

Galaxy note 2, cm10, i'll be happy. Love my original note but my bank supports nfc and I miss having great audio codec that the first galaxy s had.
[Galaxy Note II General] msedek:
Lol actually I think my wife loves her gnote more than she loves me xD.. Hehe when she saw my note she went crazy about it and took her about 3 months to convince me of getting her 1, she had a perfectly working lg o2x..

About note 2 she does not even care... I wanted to sell her note like I sold mine and she almost Lorena bobied me lol... She won't change the damn phone for anything Jesús...

Oh she is a shorty btw... Only 1.60mts and little hands... She looks awesome with the Note on her hands tho

S-Pen

I confess to only having skimmed the replies thus far. Putting the issue of OS and raw cpu power aside for the moment, I'd say the greater draw - for me - to the Note 2 is the stylus. The S-Pen is likely to be more precise than anything you can currently get for the iphone. If you want to use your device for jotting handwritten notes and/or annotating pdfs and the like then the Note 2 seems like the better choice for that kind of task.

Personally, I'm going to research the note-taking software available for Android, and see what's available besides Evernote.
[Galaxy Note II General] freakboy13:
I wouldnt care if apple had an octo core, a magical 3d screen, came with free blow, and if siri could give you a bj.

I will NEVER. EVER buy an apple product, ever. Android and all the wonderful CHOICES we have make ANY android phone far superior to craple.

Oh and the amaze camera SMOKES the iphone 5 pics ( based off the pics crapple released)

Sorry apple , nobody wants to play with a bully... oh and note2 ftmfw!!!!!

[Galaxy Note II General] exynoss:
why is everyone comparing to the iPhone still? while they may sell the most due to people either being invested in ios or for cult like reasons, i really don't see them as the standard anymore. comparison is great for specs but i'm just tired of everyone regarding the iPhone as the standard. Iphone 5 is already getting very ****ty compliments from experts.

We will see iphone 5 will be major flop. that time apple will know peoples are not fools now that time has gone when peoples became idiots from the name of apple.

And I am wondering where is those 200 changes are in ios 6
[Galaxy Note II General] rockky:
Screen size makes this a mute question.....(ALTHOUGH why Samsung didn't step the camera up more is beyond me...IPhone pics put ours to shame)
[Galaxy Note II General] WontonNoodle:
Just the screen size of the Note 2 makes it superior to the iphone5. A comparison with the SIII is much more fair.
[Galaxy Note II General] finalhit:
would switching to CM10 mean losing all the s-pen related customizations that galaxy note comes with?
[Galaxy Note II General] freemini:
Yeah pretty sure. I think CM supports the pointer-while-hovering feature though. I didn't own a note, but just reading through lead me to believe that.

Sammy was going to put a 13MP in, but Sony couldn't ship enough in time. And, my GSII takes better pictures than an iPhone 4, and my Moms GSIII takes better pictures than a 4S.
[Galaxy Note II General] lnxbz:
I was considering getting an iPhone 5, but there doesn't seem to be a very easy way to get it on T-Mobile with decent speeds. I'm getting tired of my Galaxy Nexus and I think the Samsung Note II, now confirmed for T-Mobile will be the one for me.

[Galaxy Note II General] lemoon:
Hmm, I would think this comparison among HTC One X vs. Samsung Galaxy S3 vs. iPhone 4S make more sense: http://www.enolsoft.com/blog/htc-one-x-vs-samsung-galaxy-s3-vs-iphone-4s-which-one-would-you-choose/
[Galaxy Note II General] freemini:
I disagree with that. One X should get Screen, SGS3 should get Power. Design should also be a draw, like OS.
[Galaxy Note II General] Castellano2:
Wtf? This comparison is really not true. One X definitely win in screen and design, then S3 in power
[Galaxy Note II General] Gaugerer:
The HTC One 5X is rumoured to be a 5 inch phablet with full HD screen (1080p) due for release this Wednesday.

If you don't make much use of the S-Pen then the One 5X looks attractive.
[Galaxy Note II General] leerobson99:
I am interested in this too as I am due an upgrade soon and keeping an eye on both of these devices. iPhone 5 looks good but still wouldn't have one. Too locked down etc... you know the drill. A 1080p screen would be interesting, however, on a 5"screen would we really be able to tell the difference? Also secretly hoping for a new nexus soon too but that's a different ball game...
[Galaxy Note II General] 00mred00:
There lies the problem....that is all it will ever be.....

sorry, this article is crap and sounds like it's was written from a biased teen and/or marketing victim...

even the language used sounds little arrogant (maths...) and noobish!

i will buy the note2, but for sure not because of this 'comparison'! ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] N1NJATH3ORY:
Have you guys seen the bench marks for the iPhone 5 ?? its suppose to destroy quad core mali 400 ?? http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/1030202 Thats if these benchmarks are for real ??
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
The iphone 5 has a cortex A15 processor, it definitely pack some heat. As far as the benchmark numbers go, who cares?
[Galaxy Note II General] Jcossack88:
Its an A6
[Galaxy Note II General] freemini:
Which uses two cores based on A15. We think they are at least, it's found to be apple's own design this time. We'll see what it really is in a few days.
[Galaxy Note II General] mxmarcus:
I am getting Note 2.

You cannot compare apple to orange!

End of discussion.
[Galaxy Note II General] freemini:
More like apples and watermelons to make it more to scale.
[Galaxy Note II General] mi7chy:
No comparison. People who have used Android progressed from 4" display and 4G two years ago and evolved from using a consumption phone to one of productivity and creativity.
[Galaxy Note II General] barondebxl:
OK so I'm gonna be completely honest here. For the past few days, I've watched iphone 5 vids and reviews, and despite me being a big android person, I think the iphone 5 looks really nice. The build quality is excellent, almost rivaling the HTC one X ( almost but one x to me is still the best looking phone out there, S3 being the best phone period) and I thought about buying one. Then I talked to a couple of friends of mine and showed them YouTube vids of both the note 2 and the iphone and they told me the note is and I quote `` sooo ****ing awesome``. I'm definitely getting the note 2 but I thought of getting the iphone 5 as a back up phone. So my boss got his iphone 5 yesterday and I played with it today, my first impressions is that it is much lighter than the 4s ( but if youre used to the S3 lightweight you won't be as impressed as the apple fanboys out there cause the 4s was heavy) , the build quality is exceptional and its pretty fast. But playing with it for 5 minutes, I realised that no matter how hard it tried, it is still an iphone. Same BORING desktop full of icons, same old boring interface, even my boss told me `` its a great phone but its like the 4s just faster``. So that's my story :D
[Galaxy Note II General] mrej201:
agree cant wait i heard is gona cost 800 buck dam i dont care i still buy cuz it worth it
[Galaxy Note II General] @rbiter:
Since when did anything apple have a cortex a15? Nobody has made it to market yet with an a15 architecture that i am aware. No t604 gpu's and no rogue gpu's either.

[Galaxy Note II General] tjpallares:
The A6 in the iPhone uses armv7s and the actual CPU is designed by apple that has similar elements to the A15. They don't actually use the A15 like the Apple's A5x used the A9.

So this time they designed it themselves, kinda like qualcomm did with their snapdragon s4, having similar elements to the A15, which is why the dual core S4 is up there eith the exynos 4412 and other A9 SoCs.
[Galaxy Note II General] @rbiter:
Up there? I think when a dual core performs comparably to a quad it should get a little more recognition than up there. The same for apple's a6. S4 and a6 both perform admirably for dual cores. Wish more android oem's would tap into imagination technology gpu's though.

will key lime pie add another row of apps to my homescreen?
[Galaxy Note II General] tjpallares:
What I mean by up there, I mean it really does compete with all these quad cores. Lol.

as usual it depends on what you want... want a simple phone or one you can easily adjust to your liking
[Galaxy Note II General] Xaddict:
You can't compare an iphone with a Galaxy.

There is no comparison.

One is made for the lowest common denominator and one is made for those who appreciate good technology.

One is for those easily swayed by marketing into buying rubbish and the other for the discerning or just plain lucky.
[Galaxy Note II General] ithehappy:
In fact I was so confused with these two phones. I always wanted to buy the iPhone 5, just love iOS and loathe Android, but after the release the only thing which broke the deal for me was the screen size. Really, going down 0.3" isn't possible for me, especially when I browse so much. So attention went to Note II automatically.

Anyway, keeping my 4S as my primary phone, and probably getting the Note II, but keeping in mind that I'm paying for a 700$ plastic product with poor aesthetics, in the same way a 700$ iPhone 5 isn't value for money either, but yeah, quality matters.

[Galaxy Note II General] Rhino-2-Horny:
you do know after a short while youll be able to get different back covers just like the sg3 has?

so if you wanted to you will be able to purchase a metal back cover you can or even kevlar one :)

also it very usefull if the cover gets scratched or damaged...cant say that for the iP5 that damages so easy due to the soft metal and it cant be repaired/swapped out without a lot of money being payed :D.

note 2 ftw :)
[Galaxy Note II General] MiguelHogue:
I remember someone made a joke in the epic 4g touch thread that iPhone will make it seem like they revolutionized bigger screen phones...I turn on the TV yesterday and lord behold, what do I see...A commercial about "how Apple has a bigger screen but still is thin"...I'm like you got to be kidding me lmaooo...I guess forget about all the big screen android phones that have big screens and still thin

Lol any who, my choice is clearly the note 2 when it comes to Washington DC stores

-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss
[Galaxy Note II General] MasterDBA:
I speak from experience on this one. The two phones that I was willing to dump my money on were the iPhone 5 and the SGN2. I picked up an iP5 on the 21st, and to be honest, the battery life is horrible. I know there are reviews out there claiming great battery life. But for me, every time I took it off the charger, I would have range anxiety. That is unacceptable to me. I returned the iP5, and the restocking fee on VZW was a small price to pay for that little "experiment".

Now, I am anxiously awaiting the Note II. The battery life can't be any worse than the iP5, and hopefully, is better. Even if it's not, there will be extended batteries and such. BTW - could you imagine how goofy an iP5 would look with a Mophie JuicePack on -- long duck dong.

Since the iP5 is out of the picture now, I will definitely get a BT Keyboard and Mouse, smartphone stand, and use the Note II as my mini-computer. I was on the fence for this beast of a phone for a while now (well, since Aug 29th), but I'm ready for some 5.5 inch HD goodness :cool:
[Galaxy Note II General] Rhino-2-Horny:
think the main problemon the ip5 is that the battery is only around 1400 which is too small these days even with efficient processor as it could be designed only to reduce drain on certain areas but throw in a gaming session or lots of LTE usage and it drain very quickly.

Lte is a battery drainer... :(

and anyway the battery is only a minor improvement over 4s ......

on the other hand samsungs note 2 has a 3100 battery life which going by the first note should and will last a lot longer :) than iphones recomended 8hours usage :p

samsung finally listening to the customers on a bigger battery ... FTW

and im not a fanboy i like my gadgets and tech...side note id like samusng to maybe try an industrial design in its next range of phones even if the surround case band was metal rather than metalic looking plastic :(

...heres me living in hope :)

[Galaxy Note II General] Viper2005:
Bear in mind that in the note2, the NFC chip is embedded inside the plastic back cover, so it won't be as cheap to get third party back covers..
[Galaxy Note II General] Rhino-2-Horny:
so the back plate is a different design to the sg3 one?

i seen a youtube video where the removed the back cover and there was nothing different about the cover it was still bare plastic... hence i thought it was same as sg3 for nfc
[Galaxy Note II General] someone0:
I could be wrong, but I haven't very seen any direct app comparison between iPhone 5(since it's the only one that use A6) and any other high-end Quad core android phone. So I can't say that it can actually compete. Because there is no prove that it does or it doesn't. That said if it does, there is a thing to be said for that. If Apple actually manage to design a dual-core SoC that produce performance that is equivalent to those of high end quad-core SoC w/o significant power consumption then that's a kudo for Apple. Since this means application doesn't need to be multi-cpu aware to take advantage of it. Then again custom design an SoC could break certain thing, but then that's not something Apple have to worry about since there is no Apple approved apple that run outside Apple API.

I don't necessary agree. I don't necessary have eyes for art. But there are people that like my drawings and photographs. Well, to be more precise, something that's artsy to you may not be to me. To me, I see the double glasses on the older iPhone is kinda like design defect. Because mobile phone is intended to be mobile and have high rate of being drop. Choosing to use different back material isn't necessary a poor aesthetics, but it's definitely a step up from iPhone 4s. That said, I like the idea of both GS3 and GN2, that put aesthetic second and utilitarian first. That's why we have stuff like replaceable battery.

On principle I wouldn't use one even if it was free.

And I don't have to, there are many far better devices.

Just bought the Galaxy Note 2 today.

The Galaxy Note II is a huge leap over the previous generation and if any one has galaxy note it would be wise to sell your oroginal asap for an upgrade. according to movaluate’s fair market appraisal http://www.movaluate.com/samsung/galaxy-note-16GB-unlocked , owener could still get $369.00 for his old Samsung Galaxy Note 16GB , which could help pay for the awesome new galaxy note II

Iphone 5 dont have A15! A9 only...
[Galaxy Note II General] foxmeister:
Sorry, this is false!

The A6 in the iPhone 5 is a custom implementation of the ARM architecture - it is not based on any "drop in" ARM Cortex core such as the A9 or A15, much like the Qualcomm ARM chips.

However, its architecture is closer to A15 than A9, so could reasonably be considered an "A15 class" CPU.

These kind of threads lead to nothing as it is about fanboys of both iOs and Android. It comes down to preference, if you`re a techy and like to flash and modify your phone choose Android, if you don`t want that or want an easy to use phone choose iOs.

But please stop these foolish WHAT IS BETTER threads :silly:

This is what I really dislike about Android users! Commenting crap about something without even owning it! Mean! You don't own an iPhone, well you don't.

Anyway, just got the iPhone 5 yesterday, it's a lovely phone, undoubtedly, just gotta love the fluidity and smoothness of iOS, still Note 2 is somewhat better overall.
[Galaxy Note II General] THUDUK:
Neither are better. Have use both. Sticking with my 4s and note 1. Love both as they are equally good at what they do. My daily pocket phone is the 4s. My note is for customising and reading comics/books.
[Galaxy Note II General] sz1a:
All I can say is that my friend with an iPhone 5 keeps drooling over my Note II and trying hard not to buy one as well. Note II is obviously a better device, it all comes down to which OS you are vested in and what you prefer. It's not really rocket science, just buy the one you like an go with it. I'm really happy with mine.
[Galaxy Note II General] Lucidmike:
The iPhone 5 is not much better than the first iPhone of 5 years ago. It just does things a little faster, looks a little sharper. That is not innovation. If people want to use an outdated innovation of 5 years ago, with updated software because they fear charge, that's up to them. On the other hand, the S Pen is a true innovation and a move forward. To call it a stylus would be an insult because it is so much more. It is as big of an innovation as the capacitive touch screen.

Millions of people around the world did not buy the iPhone for "cult" reasons. That attitude is immature at best.

Like most people who say things like this you don't know everything Siri does. You have probably never used it. It does far more than search as it controls apps and the phone as well which Google search and Google Now obviously don't do.
