![]() The other part to the phone-tablet equation is the exceptional display, which while lacking in brightness (and the auto-adjust setting is just atrocious) is really great. The blazing processor, 2GB of RAM, all-new GPU, and plenty of potential storage space see to that. But updates to component technology, as we’ve seen with the extremely powerful LG Optimus G, have changed that for the latest smartphones, which are now just as powerful as their tablet counterparts. The original Galaxy Note lacked the power to make it a fluid, speedy phone, and thus as a tablet it was pretty limited. What makes the Note 2 so spectacular isn’t the size, though being so large helps. And so far every single person who has purchased it on my suggestion loves the phone, including our own Shawn Sanders (it’s a “surprise” Christmas/birthday gift from his wife). Size doesn’t really matter, so long as it fits in a pocket or back. In the time I’ve tested it I have recommended it to a number of people who don’t want to spend between $400-$700 on a new smartphone and tablet this holiday season and just want one device. It works as a full-scale media player or reading device that you can hold comfortably with one hand. The Note 2 is big enough to take on a trip and use as a media player that fits in your pocket. And more importantly, it squashes Apple CEO Tim Cook’s claim earlier this year that Android has no tablet apps. Do you see where I’m going with this? Yes, the Galaxy Note 2 can in fact replace a tablet. So imagine all of that capability enhanced for a bigger phone that’s somewhere between the size of an iPhone and Nexus 7 tablet. In effect, the best way to describe the Note 2 is a bigger, faster Galaxy S III, a phone that we already described as one of the best smartphones produced this year. Like the Galaxy S III, it has a 720p display, an 8MP camera, the S Voice voice-to-text service, and it comes in gunmetal grey and white across all carriers. It comes with a built-in stylus for writing notes and taking screenshots. It has a humongous 5.5″ SuperAMOLED+ display that looks absolutely stunning. It has a 1.6GHz quad-core Cortex A9 and a quad-core Exynos 4412, the latest GPU from Samsung. The Galaxy Note 2 is one of the most powerful smartphones in the world. If you don’t like this device, we recommend the Samsung Galaxy Mega 63 Review Att. And just as the portable media player has all but died in light of smartphones, the Galaxy Note 2 may be the first death threat to 7″ media tablets the world over. In today’s world of tight funds and too many luxury items and not enough money to buy them all, it’s hard to justify owning the latest smartphone and tablet, especially if you already own and regularly use a laptop and perhaps a desktop. Don’t believe us? Give the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 AT&T Review and see how the two stack up size-wise.īut in a way, that description is true, especially for many users who want larger screens or perhaps don’t want a tablet-smartphone pair. The biggest, and best performing Android phone is king, and today, the biggest phone is the Note 2, a massive 5.5″ device known the world over as a “phablet”, one of the stupidest titles given to any electronic device. While experts have for years decried that electronics would get smaller and smaller, the reality is exactly the opposite. When I look at the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, I see a strange direction for the future.
