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...

Isn't page 2 design and BUILD QUALITY???

I cant find anything on this in the article.

I have read a lot of comments about the SGS3 build quality being poor, I used one yesterday for the first time and its streets ahead of my Note.

On a side Note, iPhone's predicted screen size is a big turnoff. And if they truly stopped using Exynos SoCs as the base of the A6X processor and Samsung's nand flash memory, the CPU and RAM will be kinda crappy. That new PowerVR GPU better be good to even compensate.

Craps, I go for Iphone 5 anytime over this, those who buy this probably some kid who missed their toy drawing board from their toddler day.

This is a device where the specs take a "back-seat" compared to features. The spec list is good, but nothing too extra ordinary. There will be phones in 2012 which will have more power. But this is not the concern here. From GS3 to Note 2, Samsung have included so many news features that it's hard to list them all.
Smart Stay
Direct Call
Smart Alert
Social tag
S beam
Buddy photo share
All Share play
Pop-up play
Best photo
Air View
Pop up note
Photo note
OCR
Easy clip
Quick commands
S Pen context page

These are just something top of my head. I am sure there are many more. Competition is silent. Is there anyone willing to challenge? It's not just about specs, it's about what you can do with it.

We are getting closer to the one device to rule them all.

Can this replace my Sony Vaio Z laptop for business use such as excel and apps, Not as yet but getting close.

As more softwares move to SAAS model, and Phablet getting more powerful, within a couple of years I say.

Love the Galaxy Note, can't wait to upgrade.

Though you got to give HTC some credit for moving to 4.3" HTC HD, then Dell Streak 5" before Samsung dominated this category.

Any new Phablet that is less than 5.5" screen will FAIL. HTC and LG TAKE NOTE.

COME to daddy Galaxy Note 2

> In reply to herobass @ 2012-09-10 19:09 from 2IEY - click to readI guess the resolution was downgraded as a non pentile AMOLED was being used , i woldn't worry too much about it , as said in the review the perceived sharpness (the one that really matters instead of the ppi craze that is going on) is actually higher than the original note.
The thing that relieved me the MOST was that all the software tricks from S3 are present in Note 2...was scared that Samsung would not include the cool features from S3 (like SmartStay) just to give S3 some sort of edge over the Note 2...glad that didnt happen.
