Now he's trashing everything about the Note II in the XZ forum, especially how limited and terrible Super AMOLED is. Strange thing is, he still keeps and uses the Note II. Probably for battery reliability of the Note II.
The Xperia Z has a spasmodic battery at best, especially from overheating. The 24 hours+ some people report has only less than 5 hours of screen time (as reported by actual users XDA Developers forums.). It would be even less if it uses Internet radio, torrent downloads or as a wifi hotspot.

I have myself compared Xperia Z in one hand with my NOTE2 in the other. I bet the contrast ratio & the brightness on NOTE2 is anyday better den the Xperia Z, it doesnt even come close. Moreover 1080p resolution sounds good but on a 5 or 5.5" screen size its very difficult to differentiate between 720p & 1080p. These resoltions matter more on a tablet, laptop or a LED in my opinion.
No offence to anyone. Thats just my personal opinion.
Thanks,

I think thats the standard time for all. If ur battery life in routine is perfect and it takes more den 3-4 hrs to charge then definately somethingz wrong with your charger. My S3 also had the same problem, so i started using my blackberry charger on it. LOL... Since then its working perfectly alright.

JLO, 19 Mar 2013Owned my note for about 4 months now. So far so good. The phone has never froze on me once, ... moreThe only ones in denial of the excellent heavy usage 20 hours+ power stamina of the Note II are some bent on something like the Xperia Z. I can't deny it looks nice & is like a waterproofed device. Numerous reviews points out that the battery screen time to be just around 5 hours - and that doesn't include downloading torrents, internet radio, bluetooth connection or gaming. It needs to practically everything while the screen is off just to say that they have power for the day - basically not using it often because the 1080p screen and kernel management is inefficient when in use.
The Note II, despite not being waterproofed and not 1080p (do you honestly say that you can't read the text on a 720p screen of the Note II?) is an excellent, versatile and heavy usage reliable performing device.

Last month my cousin sent a note 2 from NY,USA T Mobile. But one day my friend found the phone is little curve on the upper side. It looks like a design, But I am confused is it a design? It seems a little curve from the volume button area to the rightwards. Its model is SGH T-889. All the functions are running good except it curve look which anyone cannot mark first time. Can anuone tell me is it a faulty one or designed like this way? Pls answer ASAP

Owned my note for about 4 months now. So far so good. The phone has never froze on me once, or no forced restarts. Prior to 4.1.2 the battery would last 1.5 days or more with moderate to heavy use. I leave my wifi on, GPS, and push notifications on. It quite a beast and doesn't lag. Only stutters in the gallery but its because i have 1000+ photos, plus box and dropbox have 2000 photos in them but not enough to wreck the user experience. Now on 4.1.2 the battery does drain faster. I only get 1 1/4 of a day with my usage and my habits still haven't changed (games, text, phone calls, browse the web, navigation, camera). So for anyone that is having crazy bad battery life it got to be an app or a faulty battery because this phone is quite outstanding with battery considering the specs it has. Hope this helps somebody!
