Samsung Galaxy Note II (Qucik Hands-On) - Galaxy Note II General

Hi guys! I've managed to grab a Note II at the Unpacked event in Berlin. In the following video I've tried out the Camera which works like on the SIII (it has the zero shutter lag function), browsed the gallery, and tested the new hovering pen function which is really cool! Enjoy! I can upload some pictures too!

Hmm, the Samsung Galaxy Note II seems really amazing, one of my friend also get this phone, and really like it.

I'm eagerly waiting to get one soon, so i can test it...

I sure would like to get my hands on the first US Quad core. Anyone know if Sprint will get it?

I dunno... release date in europe is October...

Search SPH-L900, its rumored to be going through FCC shortly. There is also a thread in this Forum tailored specifically to the rumored Sprint Galaxy Note II.

Can somebody confirm this?
PS : Most of the major cities in India are out of stock & the retailers are telling No stock is coming from Samsung.
Galaxy S has been discontinued in INDIA, and this fact, i have been looking for one from past 2 weeks for my dev work, though i have allreday 2 phones with me...

This is probably true. I went to a Croma today (at Mumbai), they were out of stock and they would not comment on when and if new stocks would arrive. They didn't actually say that it's been discontinued, however even the display piece has been removed.
I enquired at our local TheMobileStore & they said that production had stopped & no further stock was expected.
Why would it be phased out to make way for the Nexus S. I thought the nexus was Manufactured by Samsung for Google so they don't actually sell it it's google phone to sell. It could just be though that in India the market appears to be moving over to purchasing the Nexus so its pointless selling the Galaxy there?
i bought mine on dec 15th 2010 . Guess i am one of the last set of lucky owners
Bought in HYDERABAD
But ya in many stores it was not there finally found it in PCH mobiles
thank goodness! I bought a bit earlier (july).. else i wouldn't have come to know about the gorgeousness of super amoled and computing power of hummingbird + powervr

It will be 'obsolete' in 3-6 months once the dual-core phones hit the market. Hehe. I think LG is planning a launch anytime now, Samsung et al will certainly follow.

LOL! I know what you mean! I never really liked the form factor of any of the nexus series phones. But thats just me. I do however really LOOOOVE the design of the Galaxy S series ( captivate, infuse, sgs2 and Note) I already played with the Samsung media player at Best Buy which is exactly the same form factor as the Note with the exception of the pen, and immediately thought to myself, this can definitely work for me.
Im hoping the note is 199 on upgrade, and not 250 though!
Perfect, just in time for my upgrade.
Eh, I'll wait for something else or the SGSIII.

International Galaxy S3 LTE edition

Hi,
Sammbile.com talk about International Galaxy S3 LTE (GT-I9305) running Jelly Bean.
It actualy run with XXDLH9 firmware.
Yes I have seen it on a few websites I9305..... Will probably be released in a couple months

But have you seen the video on sammobile.com about it ? I can see (while stopping the video and if my eyes work fine) firmware baseband XXDLH9 but kernel date doesn't match with the last leak available today. (Aug Wed 22, ... 2012)
Here's link for anyone interested in the hands on video.
I'd like to think that it means that the current S3 JB release is getting nearer

Im in australia and I dont care if its european if it is capable on our networks which it would be im not gunna b happy
Im a bit confused too..
BUT
If they fix the homescreen redraw problem in the official JB release for the i9300 then the current 1GB is enough for me.
Okay, my gs3 will store less app in the background, but quad core cpu is fast enough to open them again.

Honestly? Look - I'm not a big Samsung fan - they definitely have some seriously wonky business practices - moreso since I'm in Canada and they can't get their act together up here and decide if we're their favourite country or we're just a joke... and no one carries accessories for their products up here anyway - but here's the thing...
I own a ton of Samsung computer products because as much as it annoys me these two facts keep drawing me back...
1. They may be annoying - but the only real alternative left is Apple.
2. They are the ONLY company that makes damn near *exactly* what I want. Apple doesn't. Asus gets close - but then keeps blowing it. Microsoft.. please. Acer - how is life in 2008?
Samsung is the new Sony. They're Apple with a sense of weirdness that makes their products interesting instead of always being about fash and status.
So, like I said elsewhere - I may not like them much - but there really isn't anything better to jump to.
" Microsoft.. please. Acer - how is life in 2008?"
Very funny!
All true, and exactly how I feel re: other manufacturers. Others get close, sometimes, but never quite there.
And to the poster who is going to return his Note for a Nexus because JB hasn't arrived yet - go get a life. Borrow one, steal one, heck buy one. Seriously. Get a little perspective.

Lol I don't know why you're acting like they've done something wrong to you. In there announcements they said the Note 10.1 will get Jelly Bean in Q4, So unless it's January 2013 there is no point wasting your time getting frustrated.
If I was you I would look at the Nexus 10 forums first lol, all they are doing is saying maybe we should return it and get a Note 10.1.
I'm seeing a lot of this "the grass looks greener on the other side"
Anyway my Nexus 10 comes next week :fingers-crossed:
Less drivel ftw!
Most of us made it this long... Besides, this works fine as is i can wait.
I'll bet that JB will not be out for all regions by the end of the year.

I returned my Nexus 10 as I'm happier with the Note 10.1. Also, much happier with the new Note II addition compared to Nexus 10 especially since it has JB to tide me over until it comes to Note 10.1. Once you go Note it's hard to go back to a consumption only tablet.
Seriously, if you want JB that bad, spend an hour and update to the German release and stop whining.

Jellybean Currently Shipping on New 8013s in the USA

My brother ordered a Galaxy Note 10.1 from Amazon a couple days ago since he liked mine so much. With prime shipping he received it yesterday - with Android version 4.1.1 preinstalled. I've tested a bunch of features like Air View and multi-window resizing and this is the real deal.
We should all be getting Jellybean VERY soon if it's currently shipping on new tablets.
Addendum: Someone who also received a 8013 unit with JB was able to dump the ROM! Head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2083517 to check it out. Thanks for all the work guys!

One Samsung tech support chat guy told me I have to do a factory reset to get it to load and another Samsung tech support chat guy tells me that no Samsung tablets have 4.1.
I'm so confused!!

Never believe anyone from a Support Service.
I called up a UK Tech Support to ask a question about my 32GB Wifi only N8010, to which the reply was "you are mistaken, there are NO 32GB models available for the UK market".
When I then gave all the details including serial number he simply ignored it, it never existed as far as he was concerned.

So do the rest of us just wait for Sam mobile to upload the firmware?

I guess so. It seems weird to me that they would install it on new devices before mass-releasing it... But maybe this way they officially meet their Q4 deadline without taking the plunge and releasing it to their entire userbase. This is complete speculation, obviously.

So who is going to go through the pain of a factory reset to see if it works? Any volunteers ?

The next question would be who can walk him through getting the official JB copy from his device that we can all flash?

My brother ordered a Galaxy Note 10.1 from Amazon a couple days ago since he liked mine so much. With prime shipping he received it yesterday - with Android version 4.1.1 preinstalled. I've tested a bunch of features like Air View and multi-window resizing and this is the real deal.
We should all be getting Jellybean VERY soon if it's currently shipping on new tablets.

Lucky guy. I got my note a couple of weeks ago with an ICS kernel from Sept. I suspect many units still shipping are like mine and have ICS not JB.
I picked mine up yesterday from best buy and it didnt come with JB.

You probably got old stock from the pre-holiday/holiday season.
At least we know that Sammy has actually built in jb for the n8013. I have it's just a matter of time until they release it either ota or with Kies.

Well I''ve got a couple of weeks yet to return my unit. I might just do that if the JB update isn't't released by mid-week and just wait to reorder until all shipping units have JB.
