Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 preview: A closer look - read the full textThe Samsung Galaxy Note II is the epitome of the "go big or go home" mantra. From the screen, processing power, through the software package and the revival of the stylus, everything has been pushed right to the very edge of current technology...

Thanks

i hope samsung patents this "phablet" size n specs for it will be the next big thing. there's so much you can do on larger smartphone screen and portable enough compare to a tablet. Smartphones are smarter in phablet form.

They can help improve overall score, but at the end of day, for average user they're just numbers (ie. benchmarks). I'm not saying Note 2 is bad, I think it's awesome device, but not for everyone out there.

don't forget MUCH BETTER SCREEN (NO LONGER PENTILE), MUCH MORE POWERFUL BATTERY, & MANY MORE FEATURES!

mobile phone is all about CPU, SCREEN, FEATURES, BATTERY! and when a new device can show something more of those, that means A LOT!!! not a "just"!

peaceout!

Can you see that on any of the pictures? :
"The ambient light sensor and the status LED are on the left side of the phablet"
Asking as, my main upgrade objectives (from Galaxy S) are:
- better performance - will have
- longer batter life - could have - if not eaten by CPU and screen
- status LED - which I miss so much...

and galaxy s2 indeed had the same mali 400 but it was single gpu in the s3 and note 2 its dual gpu mali 400
plz google before u post and dont be a blind fanboy and indeed nokia is way back in this fieled as 4 wireless charging its not their innovation and its not an important feature but its cool and non gloves screen also not an important feature rather a luxury..speaking of wireless charging yeah u need to charge nokia lumia 920 always because its 1650 battery but in note 2 its 3100 although it has huge screen it still last longer so the only thing i liked in the new nokia was the screen ppi as i stated before i am not intrested in phone cams

For all people that complains about "CAMERA" mega pixels really does not matter what the prior generation had.. S2 vs S3. They are not the same camera lenses!!.. S2 does not have burshot nor zero lag shutter.. People who complain about camera please check what is the difference.. Mega pixel does not mean anything.. if you really go over 5mp.. It is all about lenses... MP will matter at certain times but.. i don think most people will notice with their own eyes the difference unless you are printing a picture that is like a size of your car.

Qualcomm's half node 28 nm A15 based Krait design does perform better in some tests, but in many others it just falls short to the Exynos 4412 @ 1.4GHz. So, yet again, I'll say the only edge the 920 keeps over the Note is the camera.

> In reply to Windows Phone Fan @ 2012-09-11 08:49 from PZUs - click to readApart from camera capabilities (that I already stated were superior in the 920) you had only mentioned marketing gimmicks (wireless charging, touch with gloves on, chunky brick-like design (heavier than the Note 2 darn!). And did you now you can use a stylus or hover it over the screen with gloves on? Good luck with that "flagship".

Very nice hardware, but crosses the fine line between tablet and mobile. If this had a windows OS, and was more business orientated then I think it would sell more.

As it is, it's a bit of a niche device IMO.
