Galaxy Note II practically founded the segment phablets, models that are neither tablet or smartphone, but add the functions of both. Note The number of products Samsung has striking features: hardware quite potent, the S-Pen stylus that is embedded in each of them, and we can not leave aside the rather large screen, moving easily from 5 inches.
Samsung usually release a model Note a few months after releasing some product of its Galaxy S line, as with the original Galaxy Note and Galaxy S2 Note Galaxy and II, which is a version grandalhona Galaxy S3. It follows the same design and almost the same finish on a body of 5.5 inch. The HD resolution (1280×720) screen uses the same technology Super AMOLED HD S3 but tending more towards the “Glossy” with vivid and highly saturated.
HowNote the entire line, we have the unique applications of Samsung dedicated to the use of phablet with the S-Pen, especially the S Note app used so as to annotate drawings. In our tests, the Note’s S-Pen II got the same results from that used in Galaxy Note 8.0 and has a very accurate pressure sensor, as well as several choices of colors, thicknesses and styles (pencil, pen, chalk and brush). It is enough to produce very realistic drawings depending on the talent of the user (here, full of art we could do was a design not unlike a child of 5 years old).
Putting a little aside differentials Stylus Pen, we still have a powerful (and huge) smartphone. The Exynos processor 4 quad-core 1.6 GHz and 2 GB RAM Note II make one of the more powerful models we have available, second only to the new generation who landed here with latest chips as Snapdragon S4 (Sony Xperia ZQ) and Snapdragon 600 (HTC Galaxy S4 and One). The only point that is expected more GPU that remains the Mali-400, which, although not anything weak, still loses to models stocky Adreno (series 200 and 300).
The advantage of loading a template so great is the ability to support a larger battery, an important point considering the size and screen resolution and processor quite powerful Note II. We’re talking generous 3100 mAh, which in Brazil is second only to the Razr MAXX (3300 mAh ) and is able to endure a day and half out of the socket tasks with moderate to advanced users and cater for a whole day without leaving them concerned about taking the charger in the backpack, something quite rare in most advanced smartphone models.
is to use a smartphone so great?
This is a point that whets the curiosity of many users. The 5.5 inch Note II yes bring some drawbacks, especially when used pants, since the pockets are smaller than shorts, and in many cases a portion of gadget was “out”. Even if we put it aside, he begins to bother to walk. Furthermore, unlike the Galaxy S4, the Note II does not have any protection that prevents the screen from touching the table when the place upside down on any surface, which can become a problem even with the protection Gorilla Glass .
For anyone thinking of having a phablet like the Galaxy Note II, it is good to take into account these inconveniences, after all, we’re talking about a product “two-in-one”, something that caters to users who want a tablet and a smartphone in the same handset. But we also have to take into account the other side of the coin, as many users of the first generation of the Note quickly made the upgrade to Note II as soon as it was released, it became accustomed to using a device of great dimensions and advantages it ends up bringing, from content consumption to use productivity applications. There is created a third product to a third “need” of the modern world.
cameras are not to throw away, being basically the same as found on the Galaxy S3: one rear 8 megapixel capable of recording videos in Full HD (1080 @ 30fps) with a quite acceptable quality and a 1.9 megapixel front breaking a twig in time to record videos in HD (720 @ 30fps), mainly used for video conferencing applications VoIP Skype . As we said at the beginning of the analysis, a model Note, when released, inherits many of the features of the flagship of Samsung , where the Galaxy S3, and the cameras is no different.
extra features present are basically all important until the launch date: NFC, DLNA, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS with A-GPS and GLONASS (which in our tests worked very well with a large screen proportions), FM Radio, MHL and WiFi with all the currently most widely accepted standards (b, g, o ne inclusive, widely used in routers and Apple with enough speed in the 5 GHz frequency). connection data have only 3G – nothing 4G , as the release date there was such high demand for the new standard. The Samsung released a new model called N7105 compatible 4G , but not find available here in Brazil.
The device now comes standard with Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean) and as soon as we called, it updates to version 4.1.2 that only the most critical fixes some bugs. The latest version, the 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) we find in the Galaxy S4, is not available and there is no provision for a version for the Note II until the closing date of this article. Just like the Galaxy S3 and S4, it includes S Voice, the personal assistant of Samsung that works very well since you all speak English. This is a huge flaw for a device top notch and Samsung really does not seem willing to release a version of S Voice in Portuguese here.
The packaging follows the same style as the Galaxy S3, bringing the same kind of intraauricular headset, charger 10 watts (normal is 5 watts) to resource QuickCharge (which carries about 80% of the battery in approximately 1 hour) and USB cable along with the manuals and warranty certificates.
Conclusion
Galaxy Note II can now be found for around R $ 1,700 stores in Brazil, being a very attractive price for those looking for a phablet with strong configuration, trusted brand and see immediate benefits in the S-Pen. However, its price is only slightly lower than the most recent releases of the market, like the Sony Xperia ZQ and even the Galaxy S4, so that the benefits are virtually restricted to the larger screen and stylus.
The advantages and disadvantages of a phablet are very dependent on the type of device that the user expects, since 5.5 inches is a great size even today where smartphones 5 inches are considered “normal”. It is important to keep in mind the challenges of having to Note II smartphone and tablet, for some users it might end up being not as good as the one nor the other.
