Galaxy Note 2 Reviewed

The Galaxy Note - that is the leading gosh-darn cell phone you may devote your money on -- is getting also greater.

In the IFA tech conference in Berlin, Samsung retracted the (gigantic) curtain on the Galaxy Note 2, its followup to last year's significantly, perhaps remarkably, successful Galaxy Note phablet. The Galaxy Note 2 will offer you a 5.5-inch HD Super AMOLED display screen (up from 5.3 ins. on the previous brand); Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean," the revolutionary edition of Android unveiled at a Google event in June; and can have the Samsung S Pen. Various software are enhanced to be used together with the stylus, also.

The Galaxy Note II will also load up 2GB RAM, 4G LTE, a 1.6 GHz quad-core processor chip, and a far greater battery power, which ought to assist using the substandard battery concerns with the previous Note.

The same as the screen is up-graded, and so too has the S Pen. The stylus -- that is perhaps, aside from the mammoth display dimension, the Galaxy Note's most distinguishing factor -- will -- now features a rubber tip and also a far better grip. A new characteristic, named Air View, allows a consumer to hover the tip of the pen over specified material to the screen so as to bring up a review of that material. As an example, holding the S Pen over an email will show a snippet in the conversation. Also, if you're in the middle of a smart phone call, it is possible to hover the stylus in the screen as well as a cutting edge note will emerge, allowing you to definitely make note of an address and also mobile phone number whilst speaking.

As TechCrunch explains, the Galaxy Note II is an significant bellwether for Samsung within the U.S.A.. The smartphone-tablet hybrid gadget will likely be Samsung's 1st major smartphone launch soon after its huge reduction to Apple in the high-profile patent infringement situation. The discharge can also be a chance for Samsung to improve its popularity on the States. (Indeed, the design on the Samsung event in Berlin was imagination, with Samsung trotting the well-known German indie director Wim Wenders like a "creative ambassador.")

Nonetheless Samsung did not offer pricing information or  maybe a company U.S. release date, it did say to SlashGear that Us Residents can be expecting the Galaxy Note II smartphone-tablet by the end of 2012; internationally, the Galaxy Note might be readily available in October. We will determine whether Samsung's bigger Galaxy Note may surface the major income (over ten million items worldwide!) of its prior one, and in case its court room defeat can have any influence on the Note's desirability.
