Samsung Galaxy Note II Review

Samsung Galaxy Note II is a top quality Android phone released many years ago, equipped with a really big 5.5-inches display, an extremely powerful 1600 MHz Quad-Core CPU, and two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 1.9 MP front facing camera. Let's take a deeper sight of what this phone has to offer.

Samsung made this phone in three colors, pink, blue and white. This cellphone is much lighter than what one would expect from a device like this. Whereas this phone just has 5.94" long and 3.17 inches wide, it still manages to pack a 5.5" display. The Note II is just 0.37" thick, making it one of the thinnest phones you can find.

Samsung decided to sell this device with an exceptional Quad-Core processor ticking at 1600 MHz, packed into a Samsung Exynos 4 (4412) system chip with a huge 2 GB RAM. To help with graphic rendering, it also counts with an ARM Mali-400 MP4 GPU clocking at 266 MHz. A good feature of this cellphone is its big 16 GB internal storage memory and an SD card slot, which allows the user to install a couple hundred apps and games without worrying about space.

This device has a interesting 1280 x 720 (HD) 5.5-inches display, giving this phone a good graphical experience. Its display uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This phone features two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 1.9 MP front-facing camera. It is capable of filming videos in 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second. To complete the camera, it also has a few good characteristics like flash, auto-focus, smile detection shooting and fast burst mode.

This cellphone packs a 3100 mAh amazing Li-Ion replaceable battery that can keep it running for many hours without having to charge it at all. According to Samsung, this cellphone has an aproximate 980 hours stand by time and a 35 hs talk time.

The Note II counts with wifi connection (and it can be provided to other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) high speed connection type and also HSPA+ connection type, which is a bit slower 4G network and 3G fast connection type, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card for GSM services.

This cellphone also features plenty of useful features such as Wireless charging, NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (allows communication with other cellphones, computers and accessories) and GPS Navigation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

Samsung is offering the Note II for 240 dollars, which is rather expensive for a device this level. This device is probably a great choice no matter if you want a phone for gaming, will use it mostly for social networks and internet browsing, are looking for a phone for work or want it to take plenty of pictures.
