Welcome to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Forum!

Welcome to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 forum here at Android.net!

The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 shares much of the same form factor as its predecessor with significant silicon and software updates. The screen remains a massive 5.5" 1280 x 720 HD Super AMOLED ordeal, and the S Pen has gained a few tricks in the year that passed. The processor is now the same Exynos 4 Quad (Exynos 4412) that premiered in the international Galaxy S III. When the SGS3 landed on these shores it swapped Exynos for the trappings of Qualcomm's MSM8960, and its LTE baseband. Since then Korean variants of the SGS3 have cropped up that include both the Exynos 4412 and LTE. If the Note 2 mirrors the Korean SGS3 LTE variant then it's likely to have the same CMC221 baseband, also seen in the Galaxy Nexus.


On the software side, the stylus-centric TouchWiz variant on hand is actually running on Jelly Bean and will come with a few tricks not even seen on the recent Galaxy Note 10.1. Popup Note takes the hovering widget concept, which we've seen in other TouchWiz UIs, stretched to include S Note; so notes can be taken with other apps visible and on screen. Air View introduces a new hover behavior, that previews videos and attachments in e-mails or links without the user having to open the appropriate app. There's also a few new functions users can perform within S Note, including Idea Visualizer, which inserts images based on what handwritten keywords.

Well, I am trying my best to get this one ASAP. Missed Note1 but don't want to miss this.

I got my Note 2 last Friday. Purchased it through Kogan as Telstra in Qld didn't have it as yet. On a steep learning curve with Android as I have always liked Apple products. I still love my Macbook Air and iPad, but got bored with the iOS on my iPhone 4S and was attracted to the fancy things and displays (and live wallpapers) on my colleagues Galaxy S3.

I am in the same boat. Switching from an IPhone 5 to the Note 2. Like you said, the iPhone is boring. You can't do anything with it as far as customization is concerned, and there isn't a jailbreak in site. I have had the Note 2 since 24th of December, and I'm not looking back!
