The update has minor additions like ink blotch unlock and reconfiguring toggle icons in the pull down. Not worth the battery drain but some are reporting patches that solve that. Then there are some reporting glitches of those patches. 4.1.1 is safest.
Love the phone. I really do. But the battery is very unpredictive. Some days it only lasts for 8 hours when it's hardly in use, and some days it can last for 8 hours with heavy usage (like streaming live tv ans such). Any thoughts on why that is? The settings are all the same no matter what, so it seems that the battery just have a bit of a temprament.
Also, I want to update my phone. I have the 4.1.1 and I know there's another one out there. I live in UK, so anyone know when it will arrive?

best phone in the world hands down

With the brightness at full, with internet downloading ongoing and surfing the internet with almost all white screen (ouch) it averages 51 to 52 minutes for every 10% This just translates that it could go at around 8.5 hours with these extreme conditions relying only with the battery.
This is also with full CPU unrestricted speed of 1600mhz.
I have yet to do a test with 3D games like NOVA to see how it fares under those conditions. The Samsung designers/engineers must have done something right with this device.
Getting a Note 2 N7100 this week hear its a great phone :)

They should stop and do a leap in innovation like for the Note series and not just trickle innovative technology. Even if it could match the Note II's 11-12 hours of continuous productive internet connection (I highly doubt it) per charge, then just dies till you charge it.
Already full HD screened smartphones are having trouble with their batteries lasting under 10 hours as initial reviews go. I always download heavily and the card slot can give me the space. And how can we stop having the S Pen as a useful tool for input?
nakama1925, 18 Feb 2013Hi TheNeighbor, We did you buy your Otterbox cover? I want also to buy one.thanksIf you just need to pay P195 and you are in the Metro Manila, you can find it in Swisstech kiosk in some malls here. If you do want to buy the original, you go and get it at Otterbox kiosks for P2800.

As an avid Note 2 fan i will still admit that the G pro probably has it beat... until the note 3 comes.
Love the bezel... the screen of the Note 2 in a SGS3 body.
Only downside is no card slot and no Spen.

AnonD-61530, 18 Feb 2013You might just get a job as Q in the next Bond film. :-)Nah, I was thinking about how good the Commuter case was but had no kickstand. Saw that TPU case with the kickstand at the Cellboy store yesterday and my mind just went wild with this idea. Stayed up till 1 am to finish it. It doesn't compromise the thickness and the kickstand remains tucked in without bumping out.
