SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 N7100


Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 2 in India yesterday and we managed to take some devices from the labs to the event for a real life comparison to find out how big the new Note is. While the Note 2 is a lot easier to grip , it is still a big phone. It makes the iPhone 4S look so small when held next to it.

My current main devices are the iPhone 4S and the Galaxy Nexus and I find the 4.5 inch display on the Galaxy Nexus more comfortable to work with. Previously on the Note, you had to use both your hands to get work done , but Samsung has added features such as  a one-hand mode to make it easier to deal with the larger form factor.
