Samsung has launched in Qatar a thinner Galaxy Note II, described as the ultimate smartphone for on-the-go creativity. It incorporates a 5.5” HD Super AMOLED screen, Air View, Popup Note, advanced S Pen, 1.6GHz quad-core processor, Android™ 4.1 Jelly Bean and a stronger battery life.
The screen’s 16:9 screen ratio offers a cinema-like video viewing experience, with enhanced readability. Air View allows users to hover with the S Pen over an email, S Planner, image gallery, or video to preview the content without having to open it. Popup Note extends the concept of Popup Play, which lets users open an S Note instantly as a pop-up window anywhere on the screen.
For example, when a user pulls out the S Pen during a phone call, the S Note application automatically pops up on the screen, allowing users to jot down a quick note.
In addition, the device’s new gesture pad feature, called Quick Command, lets users quickly activate frequently used apps with the S Pen. Screen Recorder allows users to record a whole sequence of actions taken on their screen — a demonstration of how to use an application, for example — and then share it with friends.
The new S Pen is longer, thicker and ergonomically designed for a more precise, comfortable, and natural writing and drawing experience. The S Pen’s advanced features also provide enhanced capabilities to capture ideas and inspirations instantly, and to combine handwriting with any digital content directly on the screen.
The Idea Visualiser allows users to easily add illustrations by handwriting keywords on the S Note. It provides illustration images that match the handwritten keywords. A 1.6GHz quad-core processor and HSPA Plus or 4G LTE connectivity delivers easy multitasking, lightning-fast screen transitions, powerful browser performance, and minimal app load time.
The Galaxy Note II is powered by Android™ 4.1 Jelly Bean, which brings stunning graphical capabilities and an upgraded Google Now service, including new features such as contextual search.
The memory options are 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB with an expandable micro SD memory slot. The battery is a heavy duty 3,100mAh.There is an 8 megapixel rear-facing and a 1.9 megapixel front-facing camera with HD video recording. The camera has features like Buddy Photo Share, Burst Shot and Best Photo, which were introduced on the Galaxy S III earlier in the year.
The Galaxy Note II also features a unique camera function called Best Faces, which allows users to choose the most preferred face or pose of each person from group portrait photos. Users can also personalise photos by leaving handwritten notes on the backside of a photo using the S Pen and share with others in jpg format. The Samsung Galaxy Note II is currently available in leading retail stores across Qatar for QR 2,699 for the 16GB version.
