Always On - Unboxing the Samsung Galaxy Note 2

2012-10-16
inside this box we have the Galaxy Note 2 now we ordered the International unlocked version because the US model won't be available until the end of the month we hope but I could not wait to get my hands on it now the original note became a little bit of a cult hit you know it's the huge I know I'm not supposed to say phablet but it's like phone / tablet so everybody started calling it that and it was horrible but it kind of caught on and it comes with this at whatever I want to get inside the box let's see what the new one looks like instead of talking about the old one now we just got this box so I'm actually hoping that the note 2 is inside and that we somehow didn't get it screwed up oh yeah alright let's see let's get to the good Samsung Galaxy Note 2 note the resemblance to the Apple packaging I'm just saying no reason alright all right whoo all right this one is white so you can see it looks actually quite a lot like thick Samsung Galaxy s3 let's get it out of the box just for you unboxing fans we'll see what comes inside the box we have our Quick Start Guide charging cable comes with ear pods I mean headphones these are kind of the in-ear style and they've got volume control on there and it looks like maybe some phone-answering that's a nice touch because you are never going to hold that phone up to your ear it's good to have these alright we have our battery that's good oh look it even comes with like a bunch of different year buds I gotta say preferable to the ear pods which are one size fits all and we have ah there's all kinds of stuff in here we got our power brick kind of an interesting design there so this note is actually a little bit bigger than the last model although it's definitely lighter of course I don't have a battery in yet but the width seems to be about the same it's a big phone don't get me wrong I laughed a lot when I heard that there was gonna be bigger because I thought to myself yeah you know what I really want the note to be bigger nevertheless here it is okay a real question is where's my stylus oh there it is it's at the bottom am I too stupid for the stylus I get this thing out of here oh oh okay stylus fits nice and snug let's get the battery in here we have our SIM card slot it also takes a microSD expandable memory I'm a big fan of that hopefully it's at least a little bit charged up this is the danger of the true unboxing okay let's see if we can get an artless guy to come on there we go Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and after a while with this three I have to say it doesn't feel that gigantic it definitely feels bigger but it's not so shocking as the original note which really felt like why are you doing this alright let's get to the specs on this bad boy as I mentioned the screen is slightly larger than the original it's a 5.5 inch HD Super AMOLED screen with a 1280 by 720 resolution the original note is 5.3 inches it runs Android 4.1 jelly bean that is good news there's a 1.6 gigahertz quad-core processor in the international version the original was a dual-core processor it also comes with that redesigned stylus the s-pen it's now more ergonomic and has a thicker longer body than the original it comes in 16 gigs 32 gigs or 64 gigs and it has 2 gigs of ram on board there is a microSD slot and it's expandable up to 64 gigs if you just get the 16 gig model there's an 8 megapixel camera with an LED flash and a 1.9 megapixel front-facing camera it also has a 3100 milliamp battery which means it should get decent battery life you're gonna want that with this big screen now the one complaint that people have about a phone this size other than the problem with the pockets is that it's also a little bit awkward to talk on although I don't think that's such a big deal um can you hear me I know I'm not totally sold on that I'm not totally told sold on the stylus but I'm willing to give it a try unfortunately I won't have that much longer with this phone because we are going to torture it I hope it survives I kind of want to know what life is like with a phablet
