Yesterday was the day when I had to choose between Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and Samsung Galaxy S3. Yes, It was a Valentine gift from my husband in advance, so on the day of love I can roam with a new smartphone. I shared my research and findings on the mobile phones I assessed in previous post “Samsung Galaxy S3, Note 2, Nokia Lumia 920, Sony Xperia S and HTC One X – My Review“. Yesterday we went to Samsung store in nearby Mall and inquired about these two smartphones which I had shortlisted, and the following is what I found

1. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is far superior than Samsung Galaxy S3 in terms of screen size, strength of the glass, size and width, accessories and features. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 contains all the features that Samsung Galaxy S3 has, but vice versa is not true.

2. Samsung slashed prices of these two smartphones few days back, Note 2 and Galaxy S3 got cheaper 10% to 20% in almost all countries. Is this an indication of S4 coming? The salesperson confirmed that worldwide launch of Samsung Galaxy S4 is possibly on 15th April and shipments should be start flowing by May 2013. So, I had a lucrative offer for both these smartphones.

3. Definitely Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is bigger and bulkier than Samsung Galaxy S3, and at times one can face difficulties in smooth handling of this phone. But this is a teething issue and must go away as one gets used to new device. And as compared to whole lot of features offered by Note 2, this limitation is too tiny to focus.

4. Should I wait for Galaxy S4 or buy Note 2? I got this question answered when I took a look at features of Samsung Galaxy Note 2. By this time Galaxy S3 was out of competition, now Note 2 and Galaxy S4 were competing. Galaxy Note 2 is enabled with 4G LTE network, 1.6 GHz quad-core processor, Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) OS, 140.9 mm (5.5″) HD Super AMOLED (1,280 x 720) display, 80.5 x 151.1 x 9.4 mm of dimensions, 182.5 gram of weight, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB external memory, microSD slot (up to 64GB) and many more features which kicked Galaxy S4 out of competition.

5. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has some unique features which are specific to Note 2 or Galaxy series of mobile phones which also grabbed my attention. It has S Pen Experience which is unique in itself,

Air View,
Popup Note, Popup Video, S Beam, Samsung AllShare Play & Control, Samsung AllShare Cast and other services as below

Samsung TouchWiz / Samsung L!ve Panel
Samsung Kies /Samsung Kies Air
Samsung ChatOn mobile communication service
Smart Stay, Direct call, Screen Recorder, Quick Glance
Samsung ChatOn mobile communication service
Samsung S Suggest

6. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has fascinating 8 MP main camera with LED Flash and 1.9 MP front camera. It has ability to take best pictures in low light too. Nokia is making this as selling point for Nokia Lumia 920 while Samsung Galaxy Note 2 silently placed all the features in their Galaxy smartphones.

7. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has some more unique and cool abilities like

While you are messaging, just hold your phone and put it on your ear, it will call the contact of that message
Hold your thumb on the screen and turn the phone by 90 degrees, it will start the camera
It has eye sensor, so it will not turn off the display until your eyes are looking at the screen
It has amazing voice control system, you can receive any call or take any action by just a single voice command
It has Google Play Store and Samsung Apps Store from where you can download thousands of free Apps.

So, these were enough list of features and abilities for me to make a purchase decision, and I finally decided to purchase Samsung Galaxy Note 2 in Marble White color. It’s packaging in very small box is unique and easy to carry. The box contains earphone, ear buds, USB cable cum charger and the main device. It took 2 minutes for one time configuration and the device for ready to use.

Thanks by beloved hubby for the exciting and lovely valentine gift, I will remember and cherish these moments forever.
