Samsung Galaxy Note II Snapshot Review
It's time for a PhoneDog Snapshot Review, where we take our typical two-part review and condense it down into a tiny little video that's loaded with information! Today, the Samsung Galaxy Note II . Is the new model better than the last? The Samsung Galaxy Note II is the successor to the Galaxy Note, which launched on AT&T - and much later, T-Mobile - in the United States.

"Truly redefined the way I use my phone for the better."
Coming from a greatly outdated iPhone 4 this phone was a God-send. My biggest worry was app support but it took less than an hour to find and install suitable replacements for over 30 apps.Using the beautiful display makes everything I do on this beast a pleasure and I call it a beast for its insane processing power. The phone handles everything I throw at it without even breaking a sweat. No freezes, no lag just perfect. The speakers on this thing are incredible and not just in terms of loudness. It's absolutely great watching movies and playing games with this. The big screen makes a huge difference on those fronts.
Web browsing is snappy and again the big screen makes the whole experience much better than any other phone on the market. The screen is also very bright making it perfectly legible even on a sunny day.
Battery life is incredible. With moderate usage I can get 2 days worth of battery easily. Samsung's own tweaks to the core Android OS are pleasantly welcome. The S-Pen and accompanying software significantly boosts productivity, and my favourite thing of all is the true multi-tasking capabilities. You won't find anything like it except on a fully fledged PC. Having two apps open at the same time, side by side makes a surprisingly huge difference when using this phone. There is plenty of screen real estate to accommodate two apps and the processor handles both running at the same time easily. Browsing the web whilst watching videos simultaneously is great.
Dropped the phone once from head height (about 6ft) onto wooden floor and its survived without even a scratch.
The only problem I had with it was the lack of Flash, but sideloading an apk from the guys at XDA was easy.
I cannot recommend this phone enough it is damn near flawless.
