some specs on the back of course we're gonna run through all of those I cannot contain my excitement let's go ahead and dig in I want to thank our friends at nigga electronics for her kind of stuff with his phone it's available now if you want to check them out Negri electronics go calm so this will be coming to all four major US carriers this is the International unlocked version go ahead and cut some more paper feel like a kid on Christmas trying to get into this I loved the original note arguably one of my favorite phone so I'm really excited to see the sequel with quad-core and LTE on the unlocked version there's a lot to like about this phone it's got really everything you could want in a modern Android powered smartphone so let's do that it's enough to open it up and there it is the giant wow that is really big galaxy note 2 push it off this side for just a minute and see else we're gonna get in the box not sure what the carrier versions are gonna come in come shipping with but the international version will have Quick Start Guide power cord earphones the the nicer Samsung your phones with the little gels on them with an inline mic the obligatory syncing cord that's microUSB and a monster 3100 milliamp hour battery so let's take the battery out and we'll take the phone and I'll run you guys through all the specs on this boy sir pricing is going to vary depending on when you buy it unlock they're looking at about seven hundred and fifty dollars it's running Android 4.1 jelly bean from dimension standpoint five point nine by three point one by a very thin point three if you're wondering how it's compared size-wise the original Galaxy Note it's a little bit longer but it's thinner and skinnier both of those screen here is a five point five 5 inch HD Super AMOLED screen that's 1280 by 720 that's 267 PPI and it's been protected by Gorilla Glass 2 let's go ahead and pull all this off a huge as mentioned 3100 milliamp hour battery which is up from the 2,500 million power battery it's being powered by a 1.6 gigahertz quad core Exynos chip that's the 44 12 with 2 gigs of ram internal storage is gonna be 16 32 or 64 but you can expand that with micro sd 8 megapixel camera on the back with LED flash can shoot 1080p and then we've got a 1.9 megapixel shooter up on the front this version does have support for 18 T's LTE network that's 720 100 bands but also has HSPA+ bluetooth 4.0 NFC and of course we got some brand new s-pen actually going out here this is a redone S Pen to talk about that a little bit more on our hands-on and the review let's go ahead and pop in the battery and do a first boot up and see what things look like alright so we've got the Galaxy Note 2 all powered up and ready to be toyed with 5.5 inches of AMOLED glory let's go ahead and see what kind of apps are gonna come bundled on this guy so some of the standard Samsung ones that we see with TouchWiz chaton and some customized icons for contacts and such the usual suspects are here as well messenger maps Google+ learning hub S note for using that S Pen s voice is here although I'd much rather use Google search it's pretty awesome and Samsung's own app store quick look at the widgets Samsung's customized widgets and then the standard Android ones and some of their customized for the S Pen like s note for example our living here as well so this guy is running jelly bean but don't take my word for it let's go ahead and yeah Android 4.1.1 right out of the box it's nice to see a Android phone Brandon you come shipping with jelly bean so let's walk around the phone on the left hand side we've got a volume rocker up and down this really does in every way you feel like a bigger galaxy s3 from build quality to button so if you use the galaxy s3 held one there shouldn't be very familiar to you on the right hand side power and lock button down here we've got a one big home button and we've got two buttons that'll light up capacitively you got a menu button and a back button go ahead and hit home bottom we've got charging and microphone ports S pen's going to live down there as well or microphone not microphone port on the top also have another noise cancelling mic 3.5 millimeter headset jack push the back in a little tighter plastic backing here as well if you want to access your SD card you do not have to remove the battery to do so and then your micro sim is going to go there as well and again it's at 3100 milliamp hour battery the back is plastic like we've seen on the original Galaxy Note and galaxy s3 and there is your NFC antenna go ahead and pop this guy back on the snappy noise it makes it always very satisfying let's go and snap that bad boy back on let's take a look at some of the stuff that's going to come on the phone so 5.5 inches let me give you guys a bit of a comparison to a 5.5 inches on the phone looks like watch this on your screen you probably can't appreciate the size here is an iPhone 5 you can really get a chance to see the difference and with a new foreign screams by no means a small phone but it really looks like a kid brother thanks to a 5.5 inch phone and you can see how much extra content you can see here as well so we load up TechnoBuffalo at the same spot on each we can see one two three and part of four on the iPhone 5 here we got one two three four and all of five on here so part of four and here we've got five so you know if we can see how much more content is gonna be showing you can see the benefit when you are watching videos or taking notes or whatever it is that you want to do on your voice so let's go ahead and see what else we're gonna have to go pull on down we got a typical settings up here Wi-Fi GPS and rotation and Bluetooth and all that kind of stuff what I am curious though is how Samsung incorporated Google search with the voice we will search with some of the s searching here so let's go ahead and see if it works testing all right so good to know that that is in here and hasn't been taken out in favor of s voice this is the Google searches way better an incredibly awesome on here so this has just been a first look and unboxing at the Galaxy Note 2 of course we'll be using it and giving you guys hand out impressions and comparisons with all the latest phones out there anything that you guys want to see particular about this device
