Heavy
Heavy use
Expensive
SPen is still complicated
Slow camera shutter
Size may be a barrier
Not enough S Pen apps
Some annoying TouchWIZ issues
The huge display makes the Galaxy Note 2 unwieldy to carry
And hiccups in the S Pen stylus and apps can slow you down. The pricey Note 2 isn't a suitable tablet replacement across all categories
Unusual concept but actually quite effective in practice, Generally good AMOLED screen, Battery life / Multimedia performances, Stylus, interesting input options, handwriting recognition, Powerful, excellent responsiveness
Size/format won't be to everyone's taste, Still a few errors with predictive text entry using the stylus, We were expecting higher screen definition, Made mostly from plastic
The Galaxy Note 2 is a nice update of the original Galaxy Note, particularly with the major progress Samsung has made with its S Pen stylus and associated functions, including almost instant handwriting recognition thanks to the ultra-fast processor. Busi...

Abstract: When Samsung launched the original Galaxy Note late last year, the unique smartphone/tablet hybrid’s huge screen and impressive performance made it an ideal choice for multimedia fans.Its successor is now bigger than ever and packed with stunning power an...
Excellent display, Refined and useful pen input, Good power, Fast UI, Android Jelly Bean 4.1, Decent camera, Plenty of storage, Good connectivity, Highly customisable interface
Fantastic screen, pen is great, loads and loads of power, great battery life
Handwriting recognition needs some work, it's expensive
We're in love. This phone may seem wildly illogical, but those fabulous Koreans have somehow managed to create a device that offers so much more than a smaller phone and almost makes tablets pointless. This phone won't be for everyone, but for us it's ...

It's tricky to pull all of this together in a final summary. Do we mark the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 as a phone with a trillion bells and whistles? Or as a personal media player that makes phone calls? As a phone, it's big, but once you get over that, if yo...
Last year's Samsung Galaxy Note was something of a surprising hit: it sold tens of millions, proving that many people really do want a smartphone on steroids. The 2012 sequel is as scorchingly fast as the Samsung Galaxy S3, with the same, dazzling, sharp Super AMOLED screen technology, and a crisp, speedy camera only surpassed by the iPhone 5’s, and an enormous 3,100mAh battery that got us throug
Aside from the 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab, which could technically make calls, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is the biggest touchscreen mobile phone in history. It's absolutely massive, and while many techies will love the extra space, it does make it a somewhat niche device. For every person spellbound by its video skills on the 8.04 from Welwyn Garden City, there'll be nine who'll be embarrassed jus
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is absurdly large, and yes, using it may make you look like a walking Dom Joly sketch. But if you use your phone as a computer more than a means to make calls these days, boy, are you going to love this beast.The Samsung ...
Massive, bold screen is great for video; stylus makes writing notes a breeze; Superbly powerful processor; Loads of helpful software
Stylus is very easy to lose; camera is rather disappointing; hard to use one-handed
With an even bigger screen than the gigantic Galaxy Note and a superbly powerful quad-core processor, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is the ideal smart phone for anyone who values a spacious screen above all else....
With a design ethic that is clearly similar to the Galaxy S3 and Note 10.1 Samsung impress with the Note 2. It looks great in white with the silver trim and matches the rest of the high end devices in the brand well. A Gorilla Glass 2 covered screen is al...
For a pound less than a 16GB iPhone 5 with its piddly 4in screen, terrible maps app, dodgy Wi-Fi reception and scratch-prone body, the Galaxy Note 2 is something of a bargain if you are after the ultimate mobile phone. It has the physical presence of...
