Features Key features of the Samsung Galaxy Note II
1.6 GHz
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean 4G
Rated 100% by by RodneyCK--Rodney (Nov, 2012)Love the extra features, multi-tasking (although I hope future versions support all apps), better S Note capabilities and touch/feel..

Galaxy Note II by Manuel-Melgar (Dec, 2012)It's not that big, it's a great phone, and the display is just amazing, I'm very pleased with the product.
Galaxy Note II by Timothy (Nov, 2012)The 5.5" screen size is awesome yet still small enough to fit in your pocket.
screen resolution
Galaxy Note II by Photo-King (Jan, 2013)Strong contrast, you'll lose a little detail in the shadows, but everything else looks wonderful.
Galaxy Note II by GSM Arena (Oct, 2012)The new matrix, however, more than makes up and the perceivable sharpness of the screen is actually higher.
memory

processor
Galaxy Note II by High-Roller (Nov, 2012)The quad core processor is fast and the 2GB of RAM do help out a lot.
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 13 MP   | 20 MP |
Galaxy Note II by c|net (Oct, 2012)In addition to the rear-facing camera is the front-facing lens, which takes decent 1.9-megapixel front-facing photo and video, also with shooting effects and several shooting and sharing modes.
Performance Real world tests of Samsung Galaxy Note II
cpu speed
Galaxy Note II by Eunju-Joung (Jan, 2013)The battery is better than my Nexus 4 but the processor speed is slower than Nexus 4.
Galaxy Note II by Johnny-Saigon® (Nov, 2012)Yes, the Qualcomm S4 Pro quad-core beats this Tegra 3/Exynos 4 CPU in most benchmarks, but again, unless you are a hard-core geek that is OCD on numbers, you will not notice any difference in everyday use.
