I am a proud owner of Samsung's Flagship Phablet, The Galaxy Note II. I have incorporated my Galaxy Note II into just about every piece of my life using AllShare which controls and activates my Samsung 3D Led SmarTv, Samsung Refridgerator, and my Samsung Washer and Dryer, and connectivity with my Samsung PC. Another useful feature is the S~Pen brings the simplicity of pen and paper to innovative mobile technology, plus the ability to perform multiple tasks at once. Quickly create and edit documents, and navigate with the precision of a mouse. Use Air View to get an overview of your entire library by hovering the S Pen above the display, or boost your multitasking mileage: S Memo remembers shapes, text searches and even equations. I could go on and on about the features and capabiliteis of the Samaxy Note II. Own the Galaxy Note II and You will find yourself Speechless as I do as this Phablet continues to astonish me.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, allshare, s~pen, multi~window, 1.6ghz quad core processor, long battery life, highly addictive
I would recommend this to a friend!

A “NOTEworthy” Mother’s Day Gift
on May 8, 2013

from Atlanta, GA.
Expertise:Expert
I am a proud owner of Samsung's Flagship Phablet, The Galaxy Note II (Titanium). I also am a Samsung enthusiast. I decided to surprise my Mom with an early Mothers Day Gift; the Galaxy Note II because I found it hard for her to give me mines back. I bought my Mom the Note II because I noticed that she juggled an iPhone and iPad. My solution was simple, the Hybrid Galaxy Note II, both Smartphone and Tablet. I thought the Upgrade from iOS 6 to Android was going to be complex. In my Mom’s opinion it was very easy to incorporate into her daily business projects. The features that my Mom uses the most are the S~Pen, Air View, Dual Screen Mode, S~Beam, and the innovative S~Note. My Mom is happy with her new Phablet and hopefully will enjoy it for years to come.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, 5.5 hd super amoled, 1.6ghz quad core processor, s~pen, multi-window, s~beam

The next big thing....... if you are talking features
on December 5, 2012

So I am a bit of a gadget geek, I have 4 lines on my plan, which I take all the upgrades for and pass down the used phones to those on my plan, small price to pay for them since they don't pay the bills or pay for the phones. I most recently strategically set myself up for an upgrade every 6 months if I want. However, that wont be needed with this phone.
When I first looked at the phone, I thought this may be too heavy or awkward. How soon those worries were laid to rest. This phone fits comfortably in the palm of my hand, and conveniently in my back pocket. I know you are saying what if you sit on it, I ALWAYS put my phone on the table in front of me, or on my console of my car before actually sitting, so that solved that.
I will be honest for the typical cell user, the upgrade to a "phablet" may be a big step, but well worth it. I have had people crack jokes about my phone, and I simply explain it to them like this..... In todays world, what do most people use their phones for? 1) texting 2) games/surfing the net and 3) mulitmedia 4) talking
With that being said, the larger keyboard and fact I dont have to hit shift to type numbers is great for texting, the fact I can see the list of who texted me as well as the last few messages from the selected person when turned sideaways is amazing. Games and internet on a larger screen only enhance the experience, I have yet to see where the larger screen was a distraction/detractor. Movies and other videos, again larger screen equals larger viewing area. Keep in mind with split screen you can text/email/surf net/watch videos. I dont even know of a tablet that has that capability, though it may exsist. Talking, well lets face it in this world, most people use bluetooth, or headphones when they are on the phone, which is becoming increasingly less and less. Want proof, why else would companies make data something you pay for and give phone calls away for free? 5 years ago you paid for calls, and data was unlimited for a lower price. The cost to send data across airwaves really hasnt increased.

Now onto some of the features, I like the best shot feature with the camera most of all. It rapidly takes a series of 8 pictures and chooses the best one, but also allows you to select which one you feel is the best, when you make your selection, the unselected photos go away.
S Pen, though I have not fully explored this function, it is making meetings go faster and easier. I am able to take notes, put them in different things and actually draw diagrams of my own to keep for later.
Aside from that I had the Samsung Galaxy S III previous to this and they are pretty much the same, with the exception of Jelly Bean being preinstalled on this phone and wow amazing. GoogleNow is a great feature.
I strongly recommend this device for anyone who has alot going on in their busy life. It will help organize you if used effectively.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Not high def
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Future of Smart Phones
on December 3, 2012
Posted by: ChrisON
Expertise:Expert
This is where everyone will eventually wind up. Large screen with finger control and stylus control.
First issues for skeptics: it does fit in your pocket, so it passes that test. It is very thin, so it does not feel "big" (on the second day :) ). It has a "one hand" feature which shifts all keyboards (phone, text, calc.) to your preferred side so that small hands people can reach keys with one hand.
Once you get past these issues, everything about the device is great. Smooth screen transitions, features galore, lots of motion detection to speed tasks, it blows you away with its features. You will not regret getting one.
Pros: Lightweight, Bright display, large display, thin, latest android software
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

What could be bad? It's a SAMSUNG!

As with all your products, I love this phone! It is a cut above the competitors.
I was considering a tablet, and didn't want to have to pack around a tablet and a phone...so the NOTE 2 answered that problem quite nicely.
And, as many baby boomers, my eyes aren't as sharp as they used to be and I like the bigger screen for viewing and reading. I set the font to large. And I think using the volume key to increase/decrease font size in messaging is genius. I wish it worked with other apps. But, in the messaging it's great.
I also use the 3M Cloud library app to read books, and this phone makes that very doable. I love the feature that uses facial scanning to know whether you are focusing on the phone or not to decide whether to sleep or not. Also, the feature that takes into account the orientation of your face to decide whether to rotate the screen or not. Awesome!
The S Pen is great, too. Again, Genius! I love that it docks securely in the phone. I had bought two extras, fearing that I would lose the original. But, it's so secure, I probably will never need to unpackage the others I bought.
Samsung absolutely has the best "extra" little features that put all its products over the top. No wonder their major cell phone competitor is suing and trying to stymie them. Samsung out does them on every front. Now if they just had an app so my Note II would make a cup of espresso....

Cons: doesn't make espresso ;)

I am a huge tech junkie and have had more phones than I care to count. With that being said, I have probably had this one the longest and plan on keeping it for a long while. I love everything about the device other than the fact I am on Verizon and they hack everything.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

Everything I always wanted in a phone
on December 3, 2012
Posted by: Guitarplayin
from Greensboro, NC
Expertise:Expert
I've been waiting for this phone to come out for a while. I couldn't wait to get one. It's everything I hoped it would be. Speed, Responsiveness, Good Looks, Android 4.1, plenty of processor speed and RAM, I've been with another manufacturer for my last 4 android phones but this one won me over. I have heard some complaints about the size but, for me, that was one of the features I really wanted. I use my phone usually with a bluetooth headset so I'm not planning on holding it up to my head to talk very often. Bluetooth pairing was simple and easy. The larger screen gives me the room I've always wanted and I get a great phone with it. Voice quality is very clear and so far the battery is doing fine. I unplugged at 7:30am today and I am writing this review at 12:30 in the morning while streaming a movie and I still have 15% battery left after 18 hours..
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, 2 gb of ram, quad core processor, stylus
Cons: haven't found one yet

An awesome phone with great features

I decided to upgrade to the Galaxy Note II because thinner, lighter and longer with "the headphone jack on the bottom" was just not gonna cut it for me, plus I got tired of the same boring looking OS. I am very happy with my decision. The big screen is beautiful, and I'm still able to fit the whole phone in my front pocket. Battery life is awesome. I went on a full 45 hour (on power saving mode) with moderate internet, gaming, playing with the S-pen, moderate calling and really heavy texting throughout both days and the phone was at 4% before I had to plug it in.
The only big disappointment for me is Google Wallet does not work on the Verizon Galaxy Note II.
I highly recommend this device.
