Galaxy Note 2 is an in-between product that may give customers lots
of headaches when it comes to choosing their next gadget. Falling
somewhere between a smartphone and a tablet, the new Galaxy Note has
both advantages and disadvantages.
For
starters, the design of the “phablet” was definitely not meant to
make customers’ lives easier. Most owners have complaint about the
large size of the note which renders it almost impossible to carry
around. Galaxy Note 2 is 3.17 inches wide, 5.95 inches tall and 0.37
inches thin, so it cannot be listed under the category of small
devices because it usually requires two hands during usage. Despite
its rather gigantic dimensions, the smartphone preserves the stylish
look of the Samsung Galaxy S III and it can turn out quite useful
once you get used to carrying it in your purse.
There
is one thing that the Galaxy Note 2 is good at and that is taking
notes. The device was endowed with an S Pen that gives architects,
personal assistants and students the possibility to reduce the time
they normally spend writing notes or drawing sketches. These actions
may be performed with the owner’s fingers, as well, which means you
are not constrained to use the S Pen if you don’t like it.
If
we were to compare the current S Pen with previous versions of the
same tool, I’d say the S Pen has been significantly improved. The
tool grasps the words you are scribbling on the note’s screen and
manages to successfully reproduce them most of the time. However,
there are brief moments when the S Pen fails to reproduce the written
text and this may lead to frustrating moments as is the case with
many similar commands.
Once
you take a look at the S Note app, you will most likely use the S Pen
more often, in spite of all the glitches. The app gives you the
option to modify the writing style of the pen and insert various
objects. You don’t even have to tap the screen multiple times to
make a command as the S Note app was foreseen with voice dictation.
Another
noteworthy feature that is present on Samsung’s larger-than-Galaxy
S III smartphone is the 5.5-inch HD Super Amoled Screen that makes
colors more vivid than ever. The 8-megapixel camera lives up to the
good reputation of the screen.
Pros:
1.
Great 5.5-inch HD Super Amoled screen.
2.
S Note app makes the S Pen even more practical.
3.
The highly-advanced quad-core processor.
Cons:
1.
The device is too big for a smartphone and too small for a tablet.
2.
The price is too big in case you plan on using it as a tablet.
3.
There are many other improvements that need to be made for the S Pen.
