The Galaxy Note 2 has improved in areas such as display, processor, battery, connectivity options and design. But besides the new features highlighted by unique software that are dedicated mostly to take advantage of the stylus, which has also been redesigned. The Samsung Galaxy Note original and was a very complete terminal but with this Samsung model has led to a new level. We analyzed all the differences between the Galaxy Note 2 and the Samsung Galaxy Note in a comparative.

Design and Display
At first glance and noticed major differences in design. The Samsung Galaxy Note was the line of Samsung Galaxy S2 design-then-flagship-brand, with elegant and sober slightly rounded corners. Now that Samsung has launched the Galaxy S3, the new design Note shares present in this model. The Galaxy Note 2 has a smoother appearance and stylized because it has managed to reduce the thickness of 9.65 to 9.4 millimeters. What has not reduced the size, quite the contrary. The Note 2 is five millimeters longer than its predecessor, although it has reduced its width slightly due to changing your screen resolution to be discussed later.

As you know, the Samsung Galaxy Note has a small stylus integrated in one corner, with this small accessory is easier to use the terminal as well as allowing full squeeze all the capabilities of your display (draw, take notes hand ...). How could it be otherwise, the Galaxy Note 2 also equipped with this accessory and is also completely renovated. His appearance has changed and is now a little thicker to improve grip. It also has a small button that enables you to activate some features, very similar to what we find in the pencil drawing tablets. To make matters worse accuracy has also increased and now detects the pressure we do to create strokes variables, something that fans appreciate drawing.

When even one week ago that the manufacturer made it official, we know the first video in which the company makes a very detailed overview of all the features and characteristics of the terminal.

To begin, we review some of the notes required the technical profile of Samsung Galaxy Note 2, namely: 5.5 inches with a 16:9 ratio and resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and the presence of a powerful quad-core processor with a clock frequency of 1.6 GHz, complemented by a two GB RAM.

Do not spend too much time left until it says is the first phone that will come with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean series, besides being the only one, for now, work on this platform outside the Nexus series, although it is rumored that the Galaxy S3 will start to upgrade to the newest of Google in the near future to launch the Galaxy Note 2, something will happen early next October.

This model will also have some cool gadgets. For example, we see how in the Gallery section, where you concentrate all videos and photos stored on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, provides new previews, showing different perspectives nice animations and effects. However, things will be much better when it comes into action the S-Pen. With the new version of Galaxy Note 2 pointer  not only can write, draw, or select items. Also, now is equipped with a number of additional skills. Air System View is one of them.

With Air View previews can access information contained in specific applications. Simply place the pointer over specific areas, photo albums, calendar appointments, emails, documents, and click the button labeled with the S-Pen. No need to touch the screen, it will be loaded instantly in a small floating window that will expose a sheet with the data inside the space we want to see.

Quick Command would be one of the new tools available pointer with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. This function is neither more nor less than an extension of the touch experience that can be used with this phone. This time, the idea is that the pen is capable of performing some commands only ones to give specific orders to the phone.

For example, if we pressed the button on the S-Pen and describe a vertical line from the bottom up, the 'Galaxy Note 2' start the settings window Quick Command, which would be enough to write freehand, the information we refer to the phone's handwriting recognizer launch the dedicated application that would show us the information we require.

It is also interesting screen recorder, or Screen Recorder, which is neither more nor less than a utility that records all it shows the screen for a period of time you can tell the phone since double click on the button Starting center until we consider appropriate. The resulting video is saved in our gallery presenting all that has been showing in the panel during that time.

These, and many other features, Easy Clip, custom writing method, the choice of greeting or Best Faces-are some of those that make up the catalog of new Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
