The display makes a good impression. Despite the low brightness, which was adjusted to 25%. While it's nothing groundbreaking, but at last there is a high-resolution AMOLED display that is based on the same RGB, see article.
A novelty is the revised S Pen for the GT-N7100 Galaxy Note II: There are some new features such as Air View, with which the phone can be operated without touching it. One floats quasi with the stylus.
The battery life is also great to get loose for 2 days at normal to intensive use of it had charged to 100% and 3G was always on, as well as Facebook and WhatsApp push service running in the background, now the battery still has 23%, the is already OK for a mobile Android, something else I know just from my iPhone.
Now we come to the criticism:
- Hardware design, is certainly a matter of taste, but I like it less important, but for sure it is also risk-free and long-term safe
- The front is the samsungsche General phone, only based on the size and bite of the one hundred other models distinguishable
- The back cover is fingerprint sensitive (read: always smeared with my blue version) and seems cheap, because it is made of plastic (although there is a special Polycarbodingsbums, it looks cheap and plastic is just plastic)
- So other than a rundgelutschten phone I notice regarding designed for humans not in hardware.
and the worst thing that gorilla glass front ('m now not sure is a obs really) is easily scratched in contrast to the S2 and S3, I had it once in the host bag coins with two euro and whoosh the wups came highly visible scratches.
So a little more quality I had expected from the grade 2, because I found the predecessor (Galaxy Note 1) pretty awesome.
Conclusion: Recommended? Not 600 EUR. No, rather then an iPhone. 5
I'll stay for now well on my iPhone. 5
PS: By the way, there is the brand new Apple iPhone 5 at Telekom Complete Mobil XL in tariff for just 1 EUR! And that with a Allnet Flat Flat + SMS + Internet Flat! So what are you waiting for? The biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone
