For me full Puntzahl for the Galaxy Note II half a point deduction for perhaps the entire plastic housing. but this in turn brings a lower weight with it. You can twist and turn as you like, it always GBT bright and dark sides.
Above all, I think the possibility of slight battery change and the possibility of memory expansion to 64 GB micro SD really good. Everything else is Geldschneiderei, and I hope Samsung does not other suppliers with Unibodygehäuse and without memory expansion sometime the same!
For me a clear recommendation, if the size does not scare. I have been all smartphones with 2 hands operated because me the danger of the fall was always too high. By the way the part is not too large for woman hands as is always claimed. Did it get tested the effect of various women.
For notorious handed operator :-): There are settings that make one-handed operation possible.
Strong buy recommendation from me.
