*** The Official Samsung Galaxy Note II Thread ***

I expected it to happen to you eventually. That chrome bezel really sucks ass. If it doesn't come scuffed in the box you WILL scuff it.

Better just get a slim gel TPU case and hide it forever.

I have no idea how this happened.

Cheap and cheerful plastic. :(




/runs :p

 

[BananaDunka]

It's not plastic since it's dented

Gel cases make it look a bit fugly and add extra bulk as well :/

So.. erm.. I might have just ordered this phone. Can't wait to get it and have a play, a little nervous about the size as well, I decided that it can't be much bigger than my Nexus 4 or Galaxy S3, so bought it without even holding it anywhere.

I've taken my Nexus 7 out a couple of times for whatsapp, when I didn't have my phone with me, so I'm sure I'll cope. I just need a pouch for it, so I can chuck it in my bag when I'm out on my bike.

So I've gone from an S3 to an iPhone5 to a Note II in the space of a couple of days (managed to get a good deal on the iphone5 / note II so thought I'd try them out) but I can honestly say the Note II is truly epic.

I'm amazed at how big the thing is, but then again, I found the S3 BIG at first then once I got used to it it was an average size. Has anyone felt the same about the note 2?

Also I was planning to get the S4 around launch but I think the Note II will now suffice for a while.

Are there any known SDS issues with the Note II or am I fine to root away?

 

[robgmun]

I'm completely used to the size of the Note 2 and feels completely normal to me now. My gf's iPhone4 looks microscopic to my eyes now, i have to squit at the screen to read anything

How long have you had it for if you don't mind me asking?

And yeah, even the s3 looks small next to it for me now!

This was the first phone I've ever bought that I did see first! And that was only because it would have been cheaper to buy instore than online (had Phones4u not failed so hard). You do your research beforehand so you're not disappointed - simple

Right then... So I am sick of waiting for the OTA update.

My phone is already routed. So what ROM are people using with the latest android version but has all the latest samsung stuff on it too?

I was the same, so I used odin to flash to latest 4.1.2 stock rom (at the time I did it) but I had weird issues, either lagging, extremely poor battery life etc etc so I flashed back to stock 4.1.1 and tbh I cant see any differences, other than my phone is fast and has great battery life? You have to ask why Samsung havent released 4.1.2 to UK OTA yet......

 

[Btone]

i'am pretty sure that i will be buying a note 2, for the screen size and the battery.
some questions,
as i work outdoors is the otterbox Note 2 Defender Series Case the toughtest case out there (as i want max protection)

do you think it will come down in price in a few weeks time when samsung bring out there new phone

 

[Bradmax57]

which phone would that be?

I'm using the defender case and it's brilliant. it is worth the money. Im in a workshop and phone is chucked around a fair bit. It does make a big phone even bigger though. Only small gripe is the screen cover means you do loose the intensity of the amazing screen.

About 4 months now (my how time flies!) but to be frank i was used to it within 2 weeks.

To be honest, I'm already finding it a "normal" size already!

Anyone have any idea when 4.1.2 will be out for UK?
