Galaxy Note is the phablet series Android smartphone by the Korean mobile phone manufacturer Samsung and Galaxy Note II is the 2nd device of the series. Samsung Galaxy Note is getting huge appreciations from the market specially form the users who want a bigger screen size for the phone which is also being called as Phablet because of the bigger screen size. Initially, you may find this a bigger in size but I am sure in the next couple of years this is going to be a regular size smartphone to have.
You can do a lot of things on your phone if you have a bigger screen. Samsung Galaxy Note II is the successor of the first Galaxy Note smartphone by the name Samsung Galaxy Note. It brings a new and improved screen, boosts processing power significantly and makes the S Pen even better.
The screen and the display of the new Galaxy Note 2 phablet are quite interesting – Samsung moved it to 16:9 aspect ratio, so it matches the Galaxy S III and extended the diagonal to 5.5″. But the Note II Super AMOLED display isn’t just the Galaxy S III’s screen upsized or even that of the original Note.
