My Samsung Galaxy Note 2 an Honest Opinion - Androidizen

Hi everyone, so today I just wanted to talk about the Galaxy Note 2 and how I'm getting on with it several months now, probably three or four months after launch. It's still the best device I think I've ever used from a point of view of the screen size, how fast it is playing back multimedia gaming on the damn thing, using it for business. There really isn't a better device on the market right now. I think quite literally Samsung until the Note 3 comes out this is the best device around. Yep sure 720p screen, some of the devices coming out this year going to be rocking 1080p screens. Here's an interesting thing I've noticed. All of these devices coming out with 1080p screens also happen to have very small batteries. It 's going to be very interesting to see how well those devices stack up over time because in my opinion if you're powering that screen to a high resolution likewise games GUI and everything like that, and you haven't put a bigger battery in there, I think you're going to have problems, looking at the UHTC. So, you know, the Note 2 has got a huge, massive battery in there that will easily get you through 24 hours worth of general use and you know, even nine hours worth of heavy use. I've found gaming, wifi, internet, taking pictures, making videos, uploading stuff to the web you can squeeze an awful lot of juice out of this device. I tend to use a lot of customizations on my Android devices so this is the TSF shell launcher for instance which is a very very slick modern UI It's really main power user features more than anything else that certain things just get out of your way and stay out of the way whilst you're working with them. But you have this very very fluid desktop area, it can be fully customized and again it makes the Note 2 kind of leap ahead again. I quite like touchless but something like TSF onto your Note 2 suddenly turns this into a much more user-friendly device from point-of-view quite literally of acting like a desktop in the way it approaches things so if I want to I can quickly grab a load of icons move them around bunch them up together do whatever I need to and it's all very very quick and fluid whilst I'm working and you can pretty much treat this like a desktop really in many respects using TSF but for my mind it comes down to the perfect combination of hardware really with the Note 2. This large 5.5inch screen, eight megapixel camera in there, the 2gig of RAM the 1.6gig quad core processor, I mean the list goes on. This is just a powerhouse of a device and literally has no equal on the market today. And I haven't even talked about the S Pen, do you know what I mean, which you know, I'll be absolutely honest with you I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've actually used the S Pen. Really, you don't need it. You know, for the vast majority of things you won't use it for but just to quickly jot down something or make some notes, there isn't any better, it's very very fluid and easy to use. But I don't find it kind of something that I constantly use in my day to day life. For me, with the Note 2 it's primarily about large screen lots and lots of power under the hood, a reasonable amount of storage space but really it's this size of screen. The screen makes a massive difference and if you attempt to use a smaller device afterwards, spend a couple of days on the Note 2 any other device will just look tiny in comparison.
