Successor of Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2 is here and its beautiful. It inherits design attributes from Galaxy S3, and makes is beautiful and thinner.

The Original Galaxy Note was quiet a Hit in European and Asian countries. However, American seemed to toally ignore it calling it a ridiculous Phablet. Well, not every user thinks like that and thats how Samsung sold more than 20Million Galaxy Note within a year. The Galaxy Note 2, learns a lot from it and makes everything about it even better.
Galaxy Note II features better stylus or S-Pen. It has doubled the touch sensitive pressures from 512 to whooping 1024, making the most responsive stylus even better. Samsung has also worked pretty hard in developing S-Pen based apps that take the productivity to all new level.

Galaxy Note 2 Handson Review
The Galaxy Note 2 uses all the smart functions that Samsung originally introduced with their Galaxy S3 (such as Smart Stay, Smart Alerts and such, read more about them in our previous article here). Obviously enough, the original Note has no such software tweaks. In addition, the Note 2 comes with several new features such as S-Pen Quick Commands, improved hand writing capture, a Screen Recorder that’s also able to record audio, as well as a software tweak that will alert you whenever the S-Pen is not in its holster (so that you don’t lose it).
Users can choose which are their ‘best faces’ — “the most preferred face or pose of each person from group portrait photos” — and the device has the same Smart Stay feature as the Galaxy S III. This uses the front-facing camera to stop the phone going into standby when someone is using it.
The Galaxy Note II will be available in October in “major European, Asian, and Middle East markets”, Samsung said. Pricing has not yet been announced.
Along with Note 2, Samsung announced Samsung Galaxy Camera: 16MP Android Jellybean
