Slow camera shutter
Size may be a barrier
Not enough S Pen apps

Abstract: Phone cameras are constantly getting better and better. True, they do so at a relatively slow pace, but they are moving forward, despite the limitations imposed by the thin profiles of today's phones. Those who have been with us for longer know that w...
The Samsung Galaxy Note II is a big, big phone in more ways than one. True, it is one of the largest handsets you can buy, but the new dimensions make it an easier device to use day in and day out. Unlike the original, I found I was used to the size after...

As with the first generation Samsung Galaxy Note, if you don't mind a very large phone and your use tends more toward web, email and video more than voice, the Samsung Galaxy Note II is a unique cross-over phone that works both as a small tablet and a...
Massive high-definition screen. Fast quad-core processor. Includes a pressure-sensitive stylus and well-designed note-taking and drawing software. Runs Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" out of the box. Good call quality. Stellar battery life.
Very large. A few minor hiccups in gaming performance. Samsung's heavy UI layer isn't to everyone's taste
With a fast quad-core processor, a big, gorgeous display, and features galore, the Samsung Galaxy Note II delivers almost everything a huge-screen smartphone should—just make sure you look at the HTC Droid DNA first....

Abstract: The Cadillac of smartphones. The “phablet”. The anti-iPhone. Samsung's Galaxy Note II is big, brawny and in your face with a laundry list of features backing up its hardware might. But sheer power and a seemingly never-ending list of features don't automa...

Solid hardware, great performance, as efficient a design as possible for a 5.5″ screen, US Cellular delivers on the ‘hello better' promise, What Needs Improvement: TouchWiz is awful, just too big, too much Samsung ‘bloatware', poor signal and antenna stre
TouchWiz is awful; just too big; too much Samsung ‘bloatware'; poor signal and antenna strength
As I mentioned before, each day I used the Samsung Galaxy SIII I liked it more, but each day I used the Samsung Galaxy Note II I liked it less. The reasons are pretty clear: more than anything else it is just inconveniently large for normal use, but the...
Abstract: Samsung Galaxy Note II Just a decade ago, the main trend in designing mobile phones was miniaturisation. Everything that was larger (and particularly thicker) was considered “a brick” and totally out. This phase in the development of mobile phones ende...
With both devices available on Verizon's network as of today, Thursday, which one should you get if you're in the phablet market? Well it boils down to how you use your device. If you're a multimedia lover and a would rather have a phone, the Droid DNA...
Though it lacks the sensitivity of prolevel setups such as Wacom‘s input tablets and pens, the S Pen is plenty responsive and accurate. A plastic tip adds a nice bit of resistance, making writing on a slick surface a little less awkward. The S Pen can be
The 5.5inch display and stylus make the Note II unwieldy, and it requires two hands to do just about anything with it. The stylus is a novelty and doesn't improve productivity. S Voice is the worst digital assistant app out there. Samsung's TouchWiz UI is
Abstract: Looking at what transpired this year alone, it’s a safe call to proclaim it as the year of the phablets, especially considering we’ve seen a handful of devices pushing the 5-inch mark. In the last couple of months though, we’ve seen the very best in t...
