      Crazy how unnecessary some of the improvements are. If they still took 3-4 seconds to open today, people would never have an expectation of them opening instantly and would still be completely fine with them. Like, what's so different in our society today compared to 2012 that makes us need that extra 3 seconds?

      @@legendsathya3041 Well that's the phone itself being wider while the display on the 5.5" Note2 is actually not, it's 68.5mm wide on the Note2 and 74.1mm on the 6.9" Note20U. In case you're wondering the actual display height on the Note2 is 121.8mm vs. 158.8mm on it's younger brother. This makes for a 41% area increase on the Note20U. So still a massive difference in screen real estate while maintaing basically the same phone size.

    WOW!!! The memories I have. I loved the note 2. The best phone I ever had. Or at least it seemed it. I was rocking this phone back in 2012 before anyone else I knew had the bigger screen devices. I bought the phone while I was living in Mexico. Amazing times & an amazing phone. A decade goes by so fast. Nice to see Marques going from strength to strength. I wonder how many followers or subs he had back when he made this review? He's at 16.4 million now.

      I used 5.5in phones for a while now when I hold a iPhone 6 I can't get accurate on the 6 at all but I can get by with my note 2's keyboard

    Your videos age pretty gracefully. I guess shotting in 8k now will keep it relevant resolution and quality wise in the years to come

    I just purchased this phone yesterday, and I'M SO HAPPY!!! With this device. Plus after viewing your review made me more convince that I made the right choice.

    The best thing about watching these old phone reviews is that it makes you feel like a king with your Budget 2019 android! Or at least for 12 mins and then you see another Pixel 4 video in your feed

    Just ordered the s22 ultra and got nostalgic for my first Samsung, the note 2 ☺️
