I had the S3 and loved it but decided to give it to the wife to get the Note 2. I must admit the first few days I thought it was to big. Despite it's size I stuck with it and now I could never go back to anything else. I thought the S3 was the best phone I have ever had but the Note 2 takes it up another step. Jelly bean is just a little better and smoother than ICS. The screen defies logic, it's got a lower pixel count but yet looks better than anything out there. The over all performence of the phone is great. I hate it when people say a phone is perfect so here's the other side of the rating. The S pen take some getting used to. It's not very useful in the air mode, it's to sensitive and can not be used for anything beyond a preview of email but, turn that off and it's much better. The size is big but now everything else seems to small even the S3. Once you enjoy the large screen it's just to nice to want to go smaller. Emials, videos, internet and pictures are so much nicer on the large screen. Text imput is good but not great. IM not sure what Samsung does with their predictive text but it's needs improvement. Overall It's a great phone, the best I've ever used.
what can you say about a perfect phone .. size isnt big .. i have a small hand but its still compact in my hand and i can type and hold .. screen is superb and more realistic than before super MOLEDs .. processing and multitasking is a proof that android crossed iOS in multitasking cause it may take more than 20 apps to slightly degarde speed .. almost not noticeable .. great featured camera .. excellent Jelly bean experience .. smart and smart and smart .. best phone in the world hands down !
Best SMARTphone I've owned so far!
Touchwiz UX is really good, JB is extremely smooth, S-Pen is really pratical, the multiple-screens multitasking is awesome, build is solid and the screen is just gorgeous!
I love it! The best smartphone out there!
Truly the best phone I have ever seen. It is innovative, great build and what a way to be creative. The camera looks great especially if you want to add special effects to photos like drawing on them. Amazing audio and video capturing. Great for games, movies and shows. It really helps you to make schedules and calendars. Jelly bean works great on this phone especially the GPS. S-voice is even more faster. The camera can capture great hd photos even in low light conditions. Multi-tasking is at its best on the note 2 when you can watch a movie or a video while surfing the net. Great uses for the S-pen. Truly the best smartphone and the king of android phones
I've not owned many Android phones, but I've used many of them, HTC's, Samsung's, Motorola's, LG's and this one is the best I've used so far, just blisteringly fast, but that's my opinion, you should really try it as soon as you can, it's really worth it.
(It's more for people with huge hands though)
And yeah, definitely beats any iPhone, hands down.
