Samsung Mobile isn’t wasting any time, uploading a hands-on video for their soon-to-be-released Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Sure, you may have seen the announcement video or possibly noisy hands-on videos from various tech sites, but none that are this comprehensive, covering all the new Note 2 features in painstaking detail. At 13 minutes, it runs a little long, but this is a great video to share with friends and family who aren’t “in the know” like us Phandroids. On a side note — I’ll be sending this to a friend of mine who’s already feeling Android-envy with his stale, old iPhone. I’d be a bad friend if I didn’t. ;)
i want one, but too expensive for buying it full price :(
That’s why I’m saving up now and selling my GNex, clothes, shoes, body. Anything it takes, man.. Anything O_O
Local pawn shops will love you
Serioisly considering selling my GNex as well, man what a neat device.
I bought a GNex on Sprint because I was looking for use the JellyBeans soon, I also have a GS3, but now look like the GS3 could receive JellyBeans before than GNex, so… bye bye Gnex…
Great video !! I have sent it to *phoners and non android enthusiast alike. This is a win over. I cant wait to get my grubbies on it. Verizon better get it right this time !!
With this stylus, Samsung has created a new input device. Are developers able to write apps that utilize the stylus’ hover capability?
Yep. The S Pen SDK 2.2 was just released, allowing devs to use the new S Pen capabilities including Air View.
I hope so. The browser should be one because one thing that'[s very common on the web is mouseover events.

Yea i think i will sell my LED 52 inch so i can buy a 5.5 inch phone.
Dare I leave my g nexus for this????
Ill prob wait to see what the next nexus will be like before i make my decision.
Yea same here but this is making it really tempting…hope the nexus line rumors are true that way you know something good will come out
Yea its extremely tempting, right now the only thing holding me back from getting it is the Nexus but it also wont hit the market till September by then we should have a lot more rumors on the nexus or at least a better idea of what were going to get.
I like this innovation.
Imagine this: Note 2 in a ATIV body! That would be the pinnacle of the Modern World.
You still on that “aluminum” kick? :p
Yep :)
people don’t really care about aluminum to much more bro lol it is what it is….
Dangit, TAKE MY MONEY AND TAKE IT NOW! I should’ve waited on the GNote :-(
Question about the pen. I appears that it is NOT stored in the body of the phone. Not that it matters really this thing is amazing, but that pen will get lost.
Yeah it is. What are you smoking?
The thing that worries me, and maybe it shouldn’t, is will AOKP or CM be able to correctly implement the stylus functionality. I don’t know a ton about ROMs so maybe I shouldn’t have any concerns but I was told that the first Note on CM9 didn’t utilize the stylus almost at all.
Maybe. I have the Flyer and as long as you use a Sense based rom the pen works, but not many android apps have been made for pen input.
great all i need is verizon to get it!
