One phone, more than one year, more than one hand.
Chaitanya Narula (May 6, 2014)
on Gadgets 360
When the first galaxy nexus came out, there was a hue and cry in the geek world that the only android phone that performed as well as the iOS counterpart (at that time) was impossible to fit in one hand or the pocket of your favorite jeans, perhaps. People were still trying to get used to the sheer beast of a screen that it possessed while Samsung went ahead of itself and announced the original Note series, followed by the even meatier, Note 2.
Specs: Arm A7 based Exynos QuadCore SoC at 1.7GHz and Mali GPU. 2GB RAM, 16 GB Internals, No LTE, Wacom Active Digitizer, S Pen Support, 5.5 inch Super Amoled Non Pentile Display.
The galaxy note 2 created its own niche of phablets as soon as it hit the markets. being one of the first devices to offer 4.1 JB out of the box, it was one of the smoothest device to operate, still is. It happens to be one of the very few Samsung devices that possesses enough power to not be crippled by the feature laden, heavy touch wiz UX. While I have a very few complaints with how the GPU handles the animations, every bit of interface is otherwise buttery smooth. All apps run incredibly well and look amazing on the large 5.5 inch display. A few people might think that 720p screen is a buzzkill but considering that the GPU needs lesser power to handle fewer pixels, It's a blessing in disguise. Battery is huge. Despite the powerful cpu and a large display, the phone can easily last a day with heavy usage. I have been able to extract over 7 hours of screen on time with a single charge, 3g running in the background all the time. It may not be as power efficient as the new era of phones containing Snapdragon 801 but its certainly amazing. Coming to the non pentile display, its a way of arranging sub pixels. In simple words, a non pentile display will show crisp content in a better way, more aligned. The screen is vibrant, huge and contrast is a little on the warmer side. I would have liked it to be a tad brighter because it gets hard to read it in sun if you have a matte screen guard on. The camera is sufficient. It performs well outdoors and is plagued in low light like all other samsung phones. The camera interface is minimalistic hence a good thing for most people. Images are nice and details while videos look nice. The sound on captured videos might not be of f everyone's liking. I don't use the S pen a lot but I have to tell you, it is a fabulous pass time. It is accurate, fun and productive. The only thing that lacks is dedicated applications. It is also sensible of samsung to have included multi window and one handed operation for better accessibility.
While it's hard to say bad things there are a certain areas where it just gets beatun up.
Build Quality: Cheap plastic, flimsy back panel. Looks exacly like other lower end phones, loudspeaker wrongly positioned and not too loud, camera takes bad shots in low light, s branded apps take up only space.
Good: Amazing performance, screen, outdoor camera performance, battery.

GR8 OVERALL PHABLET FOR ALL WHO WANT A TABLET IN THEIR HAND
Nik Nigam (May 6, 2014)
on Gadgets 360
there are so many good things about this product that its hard to believe that it exists..Enough power to keep the most power hungry apps at bay and still operate with ease...the S-pen is a gr8 gem that makes the overall use fluent and faster,it also gives the gr8 ability to write notes in your own handwriting,gives you a high degree of precision that cant be matched by a finger..the screen is big enough to pass muster for gaming,videos and best of all-multitasking...the motion features given by Samsung truly make the Phablet a smart device...the cameras too are good enough for daily use and offer a fair share of customization...
Bottom line is that at its price the Note 2 is an absolute steal and a gr8 bargain that provides the best of both-tablets and phones and yet leaves all others in its dust.

This is a very good phone, so instead off selling pliz unpack and use it for you only. I guarantee not the foolest of fool will buy the phone. Doing so will save a precious space for amazon. Don't sell at this price anymore year.

A Great Investment for Future!
Saurabh Deep (May 11, 2016)
on Amazon
Well, when the phone was launched in 2012, it was priced at 38k initially. 4 years down the line, unlike other gadgets, the price has appreciated to about 50k, which means a rate of appreciation of roughly 7% per annum compound annually.This is the only piece that is worth better than investing in real estate as the growth there is already saturating.Keep a piece of this phone and few decades from now, you'll become a billionaire. Especially when this phone becomes an antique piece, maybe, you can auction it to the Museums in a billion dollars. This phone has the potential to fulfil your dream of getting rich with the help of a small investment.My suggestion- MUST BUY!!!

When the phone was initially launched the price was around this range however as time went by the price decreased. Now this phone is discontinued by Samsung. I'd suggest the seller to reduce the price to its current value. No one in their right mind is going to buy this phone for the aforementioned price.
