Samsung unveiled the successor of its monster smartphone cum tablet Galaxy Note, the Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 smartphone in Berlin few days ago. First version of Note got mixed reviews due to its large size as a smartphone, some people feels that it is annoying to hold the Galaxy Note with one hand while you talk with someone during a call, because you can’t grip the phone comfortably and half portion of your face is also covered by phone while calling. Apart from these issues, i think Galaxy Note was a good device with decent hardware and re-born of the traditional stylus as S-Pen. Now coming back to the new Note, let’s discuss Samsung Galaxy Note II Specifications and Features in detail.

The screen has touch sensitive controls with S-Pen support and comes with 1280×720 pixels resolution, 16M colors and 267 ppi pixel density. The screen used the standard RGB matrix instead of PenTile Display, it means it has more subpixels, and you will get more clarity.The screen is made by Corning Gorilla Glass 2, which has scratch resistance and protect your phone screen from damage.
