Best phone I've ever owned!

So many places to start when talking about the Note ll. Whether it be the multi screen feature, the slim chassis, or the massive screen this phone has everything!
Pros:
First off I love screen! I can not imagine ever going back to a phone that has less than five inches... Its bright vivid and shows amazing videos. Sure the Note lll has a way better screen but its suppose to!

I really enjoy the multi screen feature. I don't use it a lot for work but I can imagine how helpful it would be given I had a position in need of the feature. However for play I get just as much enjoyment out of it as I would for work.
I also love the slim chassis the phone has. I honestly have had so many people come up to me and ask how could I use a phone with a screen that big? For me I don't even notice the size because of how easy it fits in my hand. I don't have big hands by any means and it still is rarely noticed the size.
Cons:
Major erk with the device is the over load of apps placed on it. I mean my previous phone was a Galaxy Nexus. I understand that's the whole point of Nexus devices to have no bloatware but come on Samsung.. WAY to many apps!

The plastic the phone is made out of is also a turn off for me. It feels cheap and the glossy finish on the back collects a lot of grim and finger prints.
Lastly the camera isn't all that great. With the majority of people using their smart phones as their major camera it only makes sense to make the cameras awesome!
To wrap up I think this phone is beyond amazing! It flies through apps and loads webpages in an instant. I definitely would and have recommend this phone to friends and family!
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, slim chassis
Cons: Poor quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone is big. There is no getting around that. The upside, it's pretty much all screen. Great for emails, texts, videos and anything else I used to dread doing on my old phone.
Pros: Bright display

The features allow me to stay productive while at work or away. From PowerPoint presentations to document reviews no other smartphone comes close. Keeping up with my family is just a touch away.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, visually pleasing
Cons: could use a more interactive mobile assistant

Excellent phone that is still a contender almost 1.5 yrs after it's original release !!

I've used this phone for over a year now and it's been out for around 1.5 yrs here in the USA. It's very hard to believe that it's still an excellent option for those who are looking for a new "phablet-type" phone. I have 2 phones so I also have the Note 3 now...which is even more incredible !. Anyways, this review is for the Note 2 and I'd like to say that my experiences with it have been great !
Here's what I like about it:
1. It's Hardy-mine has been dropped and it's been just fine (I use cheapy kickstand type covers for my phones)
2. It's fast-this phone is still very fast and smooth. Mine feels almost fluid-like when surfing on the net and when using apps and such.
3. It's got a lot of features. I suggest for each user to really take the time to watch a lot of "tips and tricks" and "how-to-use" videos for their feature laden devices like the Note 2. There are TONS of these vids up on Youtube for free..have at it..you'll find that knowing more and more about your device will make you use it a lot more than if you don't know ALL of the incredible features that are available with your phone.
4. I LOVE using my phones for my video entertainment and with the newest update on the Note 2 you are able to stream content directly to your smart tv or your smart Blu-ray player and that makes it into a "game-changer" as far as I'm concerned. This is the future of how we can access EXACTLY what we want to see instead of what some cable or satellite company packages together and forces us to choose from !
5. Lastly- this phone makes my life easier...there's really no other way to say it. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has made MANY tasks easier for me to complete/accomplish.

Excellent Product

I have had this phone in a Otter Box since day 1 protecting it. The phone is fantastic and more than serves my needs. Large screen, great battery time, and very responsive. The only thing I wish it had for the cost was a higher resolution camera. The camera it has now is so so. Not the greatest quality in the world.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: low res camera 8mp
I would recommend this to a friend!
