Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Review, Specs: 5.5-inch Android Phablet Described The Ultimate ‘Anti-iPhone’; Quad-core Processor, 2GB RAM & 8MP Camera Still Impressive

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 review, specs: The Android-powered Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has specs that include a 5.5-inch HD Super AMOLED display, a quad-core processor, and a display of 720 x 1280 pixels. The Note 2 is powered with 2GB of RAM and has an internal storage of 16GB expandable to 64GB. Though the Note 2 is a generation old, its specs are still very impressive for a phablet.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 features an 8-inch megapixel camera and 1.9MP front shooter. When the device was first launched, it was released in three versions: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. In terms of battery, the second-generation Samsung Galaxy Note came with a 3,100 mAh battery.

The display of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has a 267 pixel density. Color variants of the unit itself comes in four options: White, gray, red and brown. In terms of connectivity options, the phablet has a WiFi, WiFi encryption and Bluetooth.

The Note 2’s display translates into a wide-screen 16:9 aspect ration instead of the 16:10 that came with the Samsung Galaxy Note. In a review by CNET it noted that the display is as “lovely as ever” and gives deep blacks and vibrant colors.

An integral feature of the Note 2 is its S Pen stylus. Though it adds to a great experience with the device, CNET noted that all you really need with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is your fingers. The TouchWiz interface adds great functionality that extends Google’s Android version. The issue though is that it’s getting a little bit outdated and lacks the elegance of other OS variants.

The Note 2’s bulky size can be a turn-off for some people but it’s an advantage specially for streaming videos and even gaming.
A quick search shows that the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 can be purchased for $49.99 with a service contract and as low as $600.00 on eBay.
