I've owned the Samsung Galaxy S2 for about a week and a half and I give you my user impressions.
this isn't scripted, so if you have any questions about the Samsung Galaxy S2, please leave them in the comments below and I'll reply with a video.
Thanks but can you post the video of a real android game. Emulators cannot be taken as a real benchmark I believe. Also I would like to see gallery and speed dialler performance
I just found a video review to share with you of the Galaxy Note II done by PhoneArena.com
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp_REhzPPEo
it is good review but they did not provide enough info regarding the battery.
What do you guys think?
I think that it is not a review, it is a ****ty article with not all the features that we already know weeks ago in the search of traffic for making money being "the first"
Where are the test of
- Audio quality
- Slow motion camera
- Record screen
- S-pen advance features like "losing the pen"
- Battery tests
- ram available to the user
- storage, 2gb partition for data and 10 to user? Or 12 to all?
Seriously, that its not a review. Waiting for anandtech or gsmarena
Sir, there is a Review thread established, Thank You and closed.

I currently own the Note 2 n7100, but today I saw Note 3 on display and played around with it. I was quite impressed by the screen quality and the new s-pen. That tip felt a lot better then Note 2's slippery plasticy one, and I actually enjoyed doodling some stuff with it.
I use my Note 2 mostly for sketching, watching movies, and reading some books.
But I want to know how the Note 10.1 2014's screen compares to Note 3's in terms of brightness, contrast, and clarity? and for watching movies in dark
If I buy the Note 10.1, I get to keep the Note 2 as well.
But if I buy the Note 3, I will have to sell my Note 2.
I don't have a Note phone, still on S3, no value added from me to your post. But 2 gadgets are better than one. Get Note 10.1, keep your phone.

The Note 10.1 is exactly like the Note 3 except bigger screen/resolution and can't call. You can also use the note 10.1 s pen on the Note 2. Therefore keep the Note 2 and get this tablet.

Yea, the screen looks like a larger, more higher resolution version of the Note III. It's beautiful. Like when your walking around the mobile phone displays at the store, the Note III's screen stands out above all the rest in clarity and detail. You can just instantly pick that one out over the others from a glance. Well, it's the same thing with the Note 2014, surrounded by all the other tablets it just makes you just stop and take a look at it because it's so clean.
Once I pick up my Note '14, I'll have exactly what you have. A Note II and a Note 2014. It's seriously the way to go in such a situation.
And personally, I never use my Note II's S-pen. It's hand cramp central writing with that thing, but writing on the 2014 in the store feels very comfortable because of the size of the device and placement of the hard buttons.
I also think note 2 + note 10.1 2014 is the way to go. For the uses you describe the tablet makes a perfect fit. IMHO the only real drawback of the note 10 . 2014 vs note 3 is the contrast ratio. But unless you vitally need very very deep blacks, this screen is gorgeous and... big
On the other hand, I think the tablet has better outside visibility, although I am not 100% sure about it
iiSo say we all!! from my SM-N9005

I think you only can't call from WiFi version, and that's SM-P6000
Own both in fact Samsung should give me a great customer loyalty rating because I own the Galaxy Gear too.
The Note 3, I use for phone calls, apps .... It is the device I always have with me.
The Gear, is a convenience get email in the meeting glance to the watch. Got myfitnesspal, and a few apps on my Gear. I love the device.
The Note 10.1 use for games such as Dead Trigger II, magazines, movies, browsing the problem with the Note 10.1 is being a tablet I am not always carrying it, also no LTE.
I have Note 3 and 2014. Perfectly happy and I use both A LOT.
But I would double check the S-Pen compatibility thing. Sometimes when I'm using both, I will use the larger 2014 S-Pen on the Note 3 and it works most of the time, but sometimes it doesn't. I don't think it's a phone issue because the Note 3's pen works flawlessly 100% of the time with its phone.
Having both, felt note 10.1 is a tone down note 3 with bigger screen without NFC & proximity sensor. I prefer note 3 as it more easier to bring out.
Its not the greatest for watching movies. I find that dark scenes in movies appear very washed out looking, almost like watching on an LCD TV, where there is some light bleed coming thru on the blacks. Just my opinion.

Stick with the Note 2 if that's all you're doing.

IPS LCD can't compete with the pure black of SAMOLED for watching movies in the dark. IPS will show black as grey.

Sounds like your best choice is keep the Note 2 and get the Note 10.1 2014 (Snapdragon 800).
I watch movies and shows on my Note 3. Nothing, in my opinion, can compete with SAMOLED for that. Work, etc. gets done on the 10.1, which is awesome for multi tasking and getting business done.
Thanks for all your input guys! This has been very helpful.
I will go for the Note 10.1 for now. And I will probably get the Note 3 next year after its price goes down a bit.
For movies, I'll have to stick with my Note 2 for the nice contrast.
I read a review that unlike the Note 2, a feature has been taken out from Note 3. As a result, it is not as good as the Note 2 in terms of taking photos in the dark. Is this really true? How bad it is?

FRENCH Video Review from yahyah206 on the Redmi Note 2 (40 min)

PS Looking forward to the reviews!
It gets my attention. I think they did right thing with xiaomi this time.
Really hope that some good reviews will come out soon. Especially comparing it with the Meizu M2 note, i know the soc is not comparable but for me battery life and screen quality are more important. For now it is very hard to find reviews, especially since all the chinese resellers and fansites abuse the word by saying review for a spec listing or spec comparing article/video. We really should invent a new keyword for a true full review with all benchmarks and measurements included. I have found a decent hands on video in chinese sadly youtube captions are not very up to the specialist smartphone talk so are more miss than hit.
Really like the phone so far. But its not in me to buy tech without a good review.
Ah cant link as this is my first post here.
