Samsung Galaxy S III vs. Note II: Sizing up

12 October 2012
The Galaxy S III and the Note II are both cut from the same cloth, but one is XL while the other is XXL. What can we say - someone at Samsung must be busy spinning and weaving. Size matters as it always has but this isn’t a choice between slim fit...

I've waited for over years for Nokia and MS' promises. WP7 was a big disappointment. And I'm not sold with 8, this is coming from a guy who still use the abandoned WM 6.5 on an Omia Pro B7330B.

            My iPhone 5 has a brighter screen than my SGS2, for example, but the screen tech is different. The iPhone seems to manage better, but has a low light setting that kicks in quite quickly. Plus it's smaller.

                  Samsung Galaxy Tab II over note II

                  7.0" vs 5.5 "

                  next 5 years we will use smart phones with 10" or 1'

                  Lol :D

                          The screen of SG3 is awfully dark. How could such a mistake become a phone of the year is a mystery to me. Note 2 screen is way more accurate and brighter.

                                    The Galaxy Notes II is better, as it has a larger screen size useful for put on a car map navigation. Not to mention watching film in full HD glorious screen. So SIZE does matter !
