SAMSUNG Galaxy Note II
My initial impression of the Galaxy Note II’s design that it resembles the Galaxy S III a lot more than it does its predecessor Note device has only been corroborated by my review time with the new slate. That’s hardly an accident: the GS III is Samsung’s latest top-tier smartphone and the company has borrowed from it liberally with the Note II, both in terms of hardware and software. You have to assume this is done in an effort to promote a consistent user experience across Samsung’s 2012 product line, which inevitably means the Note is carrying over the same strengths and weaknesses as the GS III.
The downside is more immediately apparent, as your first look at the Note II greets you with a plastic-rich, glossy construction that’s framed by an unsubtle chrome surround. There’s no getting around it, the materials Samsung has used here look cheap. You shouldn’t let that discourage you, however, since the actual ergonomics and durability on offer are very good. Samsung has managed to sell 20 million Galaxy S III phones already and though it needn’t expect any industrial design awards, there have been no major issues with the phone’s build quality.
