Good: The size of the screen

Bad: Not much really

Comment: This is the most impressed i have been with a mobile phone since the original iphone.
The screen the speed the s-pen the software and last but definitely not least the battery life are all amazing.
In fact if you can live with the size (i have no problems) Then i would go as far as to say this is probably the best all round smartphone available at the minute due to the fact if has most of the features of the s4 but adds loads more with the s-pen.

Good: The big Screen is awesome

Bad: Plastic stylish

Comment: It's a real good phone and Android is always a go if you want something more customisable :-) and I love multi window and the Spen. Always useful when you open a lot of screen at the same. It happen to me all the time.

Comment: Ive got this phone 2 days ago because of some of the great features it has however the while galaxy note 2 isnt that great. The back of the phone (bottom right and left) gets yellow after 2 days of use. It was in a clean pocket.

Good: The power under the hood, Screen. Battery.

Bad: The looks... SG3 and Note II just look a bit feminine to me. Rather have Black colours and less rounded edges.

Comment: I have a Note I and it is amazing. Only thing I find annoying is that for such a big screen and resolution (Note I and Note II have the same amount of pixels), it just lacks a bit of punch, especially at 3D apps, as its a Dual core @ 1.4Ghz against this Quad core at 1.6Ghz. GPU is the same: Mali 400MP, which is quite good. I would like to see a model of this Phablet with a Quad Snapdragon and adreno 300 or higher... That would be a nice overkill, lol.

Good: Size matters

Bad: Size matters

Comment: Amazing piece of kit... portability is kack. Wearing jeans and a t-shirt this phablet has nowhere to go... front pockets means you can't bend over to tie a lace or jump on a bar stool without being punched in the rib ... back pocket is suicide, jump onto said barstool and feel the sickening crunch as high-tech gives way to highly-over weight. Still I wouldn't get without it... maybe an over-the-shoulder-phablet-holder? Or a pair of servants, one to hoist the dog-and-bone and one to carry the spare battery..
