Ip-man, 29 Jan 2014It comes down to requirement at the end of the day. May be the big screen is turn off for many... moreYes it totaly depends upon one's requirements however as u r tring to compare the medrange device with the flagship i wud like to inform few deal breaker points ..
.1st point most important...i wud not go for mega 6.3 cause of no samoled screen cause no deep balcks and contrast no breathtaking videos if mega wud have got samoled i may think again but no..
..2nd point...mega is very big so uncomfortable for pocketing
3rd battrey cud have been bigger..come on its 6.3 inch device... Talking abt bluetooth i have two bluetooths one is from dell bh200 and another one is from samsung i got it free with the note2 ...bluetooth or wired headsets r not always helpfull i found myself talking more without the bluetooth or wired headset so ur point is invalid i still see ppl covering there face with galaxy tab2 and trust me they look very funny .

May be the big screen is turn off for many people out there. But for me it's requirement to watch my video lectures with wider angels and to see the important pictures related to my course studies and lot more. It work as a tablet for me as well as a phone. More importantly, I cannot rely on old note 2. I think the newer is another reason I wanna go with mega.
I'm not living in a village that I don't know what blue tooth device is, lol :P And how it can help people receiving calls without keeping the giant over the ear.

AnonD-20890, 29 Jan 2014Better buy Note 2.
See this link http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4854&idP... moreNote 2 over mega 6.3 :
> super AMOLED screen
My Reason: Super AMOLED display does as good as did the SC-LCD display under the light and too the viewing angles are sharper for both in Youtube reviews. AMOLED display would consume hella battery comparative to SC-LCD at 720p (which is comparatively more warmer display than the over-saturated AMOLED display). Please correct me if I'm wrong.
> Quad core (if you need) 1.6 GHz vs dual core 1.7 GHz
My Reason: There is difference of screen density in both the devices. One is getting the Quad-core cause it's running the AMOLED display which is the requirement for the screen in general. 1.7 ghz Dual core handles the 720p display very well. And correct me if I'm wrong Quad-core extract more battery juice cause all cores are always on work comparative to Dual core.
> 2 GB RAM vs 1.5 GB RAM
No Reason here, Note 2 wins here by little margin. But again, when you see the reviews on youtube you would see that browser speed of mega is better in loading and processing the pages.
> Display PPI is bit more in N7100 than I9200
My Reason: That PPI is compensated very very well by the 6.3 screen. And every review showed mega 6.3 screen is more crisp. And too without being complete HD this screen does displayed the best result in every review I have seen so far. And Again, no HD display is placed by the samsung cause they knew they are offering the 6.3 screen with 3200 MAH battery so HD screen would drink all the juice in just few hours. That's the reason they have put this 720p screen which is crisp, trust me on that. And does so well with battery thing. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
> More camera features in N7100 than I9200
My Reason: Umm, There are more camera features in mega than on note 2. All the functions of Galaxy s4 are placed in mega except the dual shot mode. The mega has the same camera software as the GS4 missing the dual shot mode only. All other modes present there. 1st, with jelly bean 4.2.2 (a better software than the original 4.1.2 of note)produce better photos. 2nd, it has all the functions of GS4 except the dual shot mode and does well in mode things too. Correct me I'm a wrong here.
> FM radio is not there in I9200
Um, Fm radio is not my requirement at all. I have got nokia candy bar phones for that thing. I cannot run FM Radio over my expensive device and burn my battery before it's real age.
> Stylus is there is N7100, but not in I9200.
Stylus is the positive point in note 2.
> Android 4.3 (4.4.2 in future) vs 4.2.2
My reason: With andriod 4.3 update already we are reading up million of complains about the note 2 battery problem. Have no idea when would the 4.4 update would come and what more bugs it would bring with itself for note 2. Not to forget the aging internals. Mega is fresh off from last year summer. And mega too would get the update to kitkat sooner or later. But for me, update things doesn't matter. I think I would be more looking into how it can give me good outcome for the buck that I spend in mega for next two years. I think note 2 is already an old thing technology.
Mega 6.3 over note 2 :
> Big display
So true
> Stereo sound recording
So true
> Marginally bigger battery (3100 mAh vs 3200 mAh)
So true
My Additions;
> Better camera software with all the features that GS4 has except the dual shot mode.
> In long run Mega would give the best battery result even if the battery gets weaker after a year or two by the fact that it has a screen that consumes less juice than the screen which consume hella juice of the battery. So, in long run, this would give the best battery result comparative to AMOLED screen. People would compromise on screen but won't compromise over shortening battery life.
> It has IR blaster to control your tv and other devices (though not of my any use, lol)
> It's thinner than the note 2. Easy to hold by the fact that bezels are same as of GS4. In other words, it's magnified GS4. Looks pretty cool.
> It give wider viewing angels in picture taking, in reading, browsing and almost everything. It's MEGA. :P

You can choose Mega 6,3. I don't like the design, too big and wide. If you don't have enough budget and Mega 6.3 is cheaper than Note II, you can choose it.

Vinod, 29 Jan 2014My Note 2 Getting off twise a day... otherwise good phone... wat to do for that plz replyGo to Settings --> more --> application manager --> Swipe he screen right to left 3 times --> In all, tap on each application and choose force stop and disable. If disable is not available, just use force stop.
Note :
The apps that are disabled or chosen force stop will not start again regardless of the number of times you restart your phone.
But if you have opened the app which you have force stopped, then it will run in the background.

AnonD-225330, 28 Jan 2014Bought it today and definitely satisfied with it... no regrets at all :)Do not bother about others' comments. Technology changes day by day. Do not care if note 2 is old model or not. If you wait, you cannot buy any model as new models are released frequently. Happy texting.

I want to buy one smartphone for following reasons;
- To view my audio/video lectures
- To save neccesary e-books (basically e-reading)
- Web browsing (blogging, social networking, etc)
- To use few neccesary apps.
- To listen some music
- Call, texting etc
- No gaming
I need longest battery and large screen and better camera also. Please suggest me which one to go with. note 2 or mega 6.3?
My personal preference is mega by the fact that it's new and note 2 is old. And, for a student like me do not afford to change the cell before my graduation that's two year from now. I just wanna do a solid buy which could serve me well for next two year under moderate use as explained above.
Please help me.
