Anyone using Galaxy Note II? - Anurag M - 09-03-2012
I really want to buy Samsung Galaxy note, so I was looking for reviews. I have used Galaxy tab before, but after seeing this one, I am thinking of selling this one and to buy a Galaxy Note. Also I never tried Jelly Bean, Last Android version I used was Ice-cream Sandwich.
So if anybody here using this one, please post a short review for me. Thanks.

Alright, I have one and I'll leave an honest review on it.
It's got a nice, crystal clear HD screen which is nice and it can read pages with crisp detail. Although, the iPad 3 still excels and is currently leading in the high detail graphic screen.
I really dislike it's touchscreen capability, I find half the time I am forced to use a stylus (pen that it comes with) to get anything done!
Android 4.1 Jellybean is certainly a nice touch and if you've never tried it I honestly recommend exploring and checking it out for yourself.
However, if your looking for something better I'd most certainly go for an iPad 3 - if I didn't Social Engineer this product I would of returned it a long time ago, honestly.

I say the iPad 3 and the Note II are two entirely different things.
I've been looking at the LG Optimus G with its non-pentile HD screen and quad core Krait CPU.
But Hardz, I'm dying to know, how did you get this thing before it's even released in most places? :D

BreakR, my bad - I actually have a old one (the first one) but I thought I'd leave a review on it anyway as I'm sure there similar :p

That's alright lol
Inexplicably, the newer one actually has a lower resolution than the old one.
That's a nitpick I have with the Note II.

Really? That's stupid :o

Actually, now that I looked it up, it seems like the Note II doesn't have a pentile display, only a weird subpixel arrangement.

I guess that kinda compensates the lower resolution lol
Actually, I bet samsung didn't say anything about this because they are still trying to sell the S3 with a PenTile display.
