Anonymous, 10 Jul 2013Depends on how you use it. In terms of raw power i believe ... moreI don't think so. It would if the screen is off. I just shown you numerous screen shots of battery consumption. Again the Note 8 even with a larger battery can operated less time if you run the same loads as the Note II.

zany, 09 Jul 2013Please advice if 16gb for this device the remaining is only... moreYes, something just about 10GB for internal use. It doesn't matter to me as I don't see much point of having heavy file games installed on the Note 8. I got a high capacity 64GB card for my media needs. If you want more space, root and start wiping out some of the bloatware.

Anonymous, 09 Jul 20137.7 does not last that long... i have used it .. since HCom... moreAdditional battery performance claims:
I do some digital art with both Notes 8 and II. On the 8, I worked on some with the Sketchbook Ink app on more than 5.5 hours till the battery was 5% on a just below 7 hours of time span.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/92800985@N06/9248413480/in/set-72157634559119697/
The screen consumption was 87% with my brightness below 30%! The Sketchbook Ink only just came to 6%.
With the Note II, I had a total of also 5.5 screen usage time but with multiple app of Skype, Photoshop Touch and ATorrent used on a 7.5 hours span to it hit 6%. The AMOLED screen consumed 31% of the total power at 30% brightness.

I made these observations to know the reliability of both devices. It just proves the bigger TFT screen of the Note 8 drains its 4600mAh battery a whole lot more, leaving you not able to do much heavy stuff like in the smaller 3100mAh battery capacity Note II.
The II's battery is at least changeable, while I really need to plug in the 8 if I do the same heavy lifting.

Anonymous, 09 Jul 20137.7 does not last that long... i have used it .. since HCom... moreAs I have stated, the Note 8 usually gives me accumulated 5 to 7 hours of screen on usage time on a charge till its 5%. One time I was using it constantly for just above 8 hours mostly Internet browsing which yielded just about 7 hours of screen on.

Doing something similar like browsing with the Note II, at roughly 50% of battery from a full charge after 5 hours yielded 4.5 hours of screen on. It just means the Note II can possibly reach the stated almost 9 hours of Internet browsing tested by GSM Arena.

Unfortunately GA didn't test the Note 8's battery performance. These are based on my experience with the device. The Note 8's screen is larger and I keep the lighting to just 20% most of the time, but even with its larger 4600mAh battery, it can just give me up to 7 hours+ screen on from browsing. I have experienced a 5 hour+ screen on with the Note II with downloading torrents over a span of more than 15 hours+ with constant bluetooth, wifi and 2-3 hours worth of Internet radio:

The Note II's incredible battery efficiency is very impressive. I used to have another phone to wifi hotspot tether my Note II, and therefore its battery could last up to 15 to 16 hours of heavy use. Ever since I started using the Note II as the hotspot transmitting connectivity for the Note 8, the II can last usual 12 hours while still doing some heavy lifting.
By the way, the Tab 7.7 can play almost 12 hours of video continuously, or it only can do almost 7 hours of surfing on a charge. You're right, it doesn't last that long.

Not unless ur staring at a blank black screen for 12 hours. Most people use apps that have black text with white background.. unless u tweak and customize everything.. which is tedious
And the constant drain on LCD screen will not be so significant.. the most variance is .05 watts.. hardly a killer aspect.. and its wrong to say it draws zero current on a blank black screen either.
If you have claims that note 2 last longer then note 8.0.. better have screenshot claims.. and the respective apps you use to test for fairness.
