Samsung Galaxy Note II vs Galaxy S III | Pocketnow

- I put a poll up there on the Twitters yesterday, asking what you fine folks prefer: quick-and-dirty (but timely) videos, or smooth-and-polished (but delayed) ones. Those who responded were pretty much split right down the middle, so I decided to do what I maybe should've done in the first place: I put the question to my boss. And he wanted you folks to see this video as soon as I could shoot it.
Here, then, is fifteen minutes of some of the fiercest, blood-lettin'-est, nastiest head-to-head action in existence, featuring the Samsung Galaxy S III doing battle against the newest phablet on the block, the Galaxy Note II. There ain't no fancy transitions or angled shots, and there's no background music; just two smartphones locked in an eternal struggle to figure out who's got the quickest boot time, page load turnaround, camera launches ... and who soaks up the most fingerprints. Stick around to the end to find out what I think about the results, and stay tuned for more Galaxy Note II coverage, leading up to our full review, as the week tumbles onward!

You're doing amazing videos Michael, keep up the great work! :)
Best reviewer ever, you should do all the reviews for pocketnow!
As always excellent review. Thanks for that.
Hands down the best overall reviewer. Very unbiased and funny! Liked and Subbed' !
very good article...found it very informative
always watch his vids as they are always good for info and details others miss ....
...great work m8
man, your vid is awesome... thanks and keep the good work up
Very professional video. Thank you pocketnowvideo. So it seems that it really comes down to screen size. Samsung is really stepping up their game.
Very informative and exactly what I needed. I'm definitely a Pocketnow fan.
One of the better comparison videos from pocketnow!
I appreciate your details to the speakers, volume, software, etc. Note II is huge. We like a thin case for that phone.
great job. nice down to earth and highly useful review.
Great review. Thanks. You do it very well.
This video is just what I needed. Thanks
Excellent video. Most videos done on phones zip thru the comparisons so fast you don't have time to absorb what they are trying to say. They also keep moving the screens so fast and tapping on icons so haphazardly, that you don't know what the hell their point is. So, thank you for a clear, concise review. -- I choose the Note 2 because bigger is usually better and I like the extra feature of the S Pen.
Great review!
Great review!! Thanks... seems I'll be getting the Galaxy Note 2! :)
this brought a tear to my eye i havent laughed so hard from reading a youtube comment in so long. thank you
Dude this a great review
You have a smooth voice man.Love it.
Great review, it help me make up my mind !!!
i love this reviewer. good job man.
Awesome comparison video! I want the Note 2 so bad but it's not out in Canada yet!
Nice video man!
i really really love your videos !!
great review!
I agree with Rick! I had some strange looks when I first pulled out my Note II at work. But once folks got a good look at what the Note II could do and how sweet the videos and games looked on the screen, their looks changed. Sure the phone is large, but it's like having the power of both a cell phone and tablet that still fits in my pocket. If all you do is chat and text with friends, an s3 will seem large. However, if you like doing everything under the sun with your smartphone, go note II.
very good review...thank u for such a good comparitive video...keep doing
I'm glad you can compare the phones side by side.
Touch to beam.
1..2..3.. BOOM !
haha love the review mate, keep it up !
Great review.
Thank you, i never new the note 2 had an led notification light. Just what i was hoping for!
Now that's a comparison! Perfect!
This man. So professional.
Thanks for the review
got the galaxy note2 and thanks for this video. because of it i saw the plane app game and got and love it. great video
Nice comparison video
This review gets me excited for my upgrade which is in August 2013
Great review, the Note 2 is a great phone. I just got one a few days ago and it hasn't disappointed yet. Jelly Bean makes it flawless.
Good video
Gives me a good idea about the differentces in both phones
Great video! Thanks!

Thanks Tony Stark --- excellent review as always! thumps up man...
great comparison,,, which kind was that? Either way, Polished or Quick, y'all's IFA coverage was also really good... ty! BTC
My sis has a Note 2 and my gf an S3. I'm just happy they didn't argue over which was better when they met up yesterday
As soon as he mentioned how much louder, and deeper the speaker was, and showed the audio comparison, I was in. I was anxious to get an S3 from T-mobile in the next few weeks, now I'm anxious to try out the Note II, Upgrading from an original Galaxy S so this'll be a world of a difference, 2GBs of ram!? My phone for the past year and a half has has 384MB, no more long load times, and unescapable freeze ups, plus I'll be getting new Android versions, I've been stuck on 2.3.5 for a year almost.
NICE REVIEW!!!
Hey where do you get that clock widget for the S3? I just ordered my S3 today and the one I was playing with at the store didn't have any of those clock widgets.
Not sure if u stated that tho PPI is lower in G.NOTE 2 than the SG3 .. resolution is 1280x720 on both however SG3 uses pentile screen as opposed to G.NOTE2 uses RGB screen .. therefore crating a more crisper and less grainy screen .
Just a bit to share ;-)
Great review !! May consider getting NOTE2 LTE VERIZON .. when released . Tho I love my G.NEX LTE .
I love my Note 2. It is buttery smooth in all operations. Split screening two apps at once and having them both run perfectly will make anyone a believer. And the handwriting recognition is astoundingly good. Looked at the note 3 but I like the feel of the 2 better. No need to change. Maybe next generation, but I'm in no hurry. Amazing phone.
You sir, have an excellent speaking voice.
Awesome! 6:52 Woah, if they had the same apps and were setup, that would look awesome! Anyways, I really want to get a samsung galaxy note 2 sometime. it'd match with my samsung galaxy note 10.1 that I'm getting soon. I'm currently on no tablet and a samsung galaxy s2. And yeah, great review as always. much better than phonearena with: "Hey guys, Joooooooooooooooooooooohn V here from PhoneArena..."
what is that clock widget he haves in there, where it shows the weather and stuff, i cant find it on my GS3
where can I find/compare plans for Note II?
Nice Video I like it.
Thank you for ur response
I was hoping to see more of the tricks that the S3 can do, being done by the Note2.. Any chance of that happening?
Im thinking of getting one too.
Whats the best parts about it you reckon?
Hows the screen compared to the S3? Is it as sharp as an iphone screen?
4:28 indeed! I bought my galaxy Note not even thinking about that and I was a little disappointed that it didn't come with a notification light.... or an HDMI input.
I love my Note II and wouldn't change. I had an iPhone 4S until recently, but I wouldn't go back. The big screen is fabulous!
What is the name of the Weather/Clock Widgets that you had on these phones?
I have the note 2 and I love it. I was wondering in thr lock screen how can I make the text mail pop up in the middle of the screen. Cant figure it out.
How did u set up ur note 2 lock screen like that? with a notification showing in the middle of the screen?
excellent thank you, well presented
Omg! I struggled for a bit wondering if you were using a computer's voice or if you were actually talking.
in case you don't know what i pixel is, it is all the small points of light on the screen that light up at different colors and intensity to make up the picture. but to make different colors, each pixel needs a red, green and blue one inside it. pen-tile is a way to cheat around this. each pixel can only reproduce a certain color set.
I miss the music! lol but overall great review!
my s2 has problem too do you have any headphone mode volume auto change and auto reboot? and UI system crash?
How much battery life should I be expecting? I have T-Mobile and i keep my background data off, 3g/4g off, wifi on if there is signal in range (for wireless calling) and my gps, auto roatate and everything else off
Your voice, is so silky smooth.
I have the Note2 4G and bought in christmas for my wife the quadcore version of the S3. Both great machines.
Where to get the nice looking Time/weather widget ?
Thanks
How's there recording videos sound? I remember there was a problem with video sound when a went to concert and recorded the loud speakers. The video sound was a trash. What's up with the note 2? I know that the iphone loud sounds is not a problem.
That depends on you, and what each person needs.
Imo if it's a gift the Note 2, if I were to buy it with my moneyz, the S3 no doubt.
Make sure not to stay in Energy Saving mode.
Also in the settings>Developer options>Limit background processes, toggle 1 process at most or 4 processes at most if you're feeling like it. This'll reduce the lag quite a bit.
Hi! I'm thinking about buying a Note 2. What's your opinion: is it pocketable, or not? If you're going somewhere, where do you put your phone?
Cheers.
how do you get your hair spiky like that? what gel do you use? im jealous. :(
Me and the 1,000,000 of other Galaxy S3 buyers from the they it came out ... your right ... it cant be that they made it so tha the front glass is extremely breakable ....... Your a GENIUS sir
i noticed that too... haha... the first words of his were clear and smooth...
wherer did you get those widgets??? i have the SG3 and i cant find them
Does the S3 have an unlocked bootloader?
if it's unlocked it boots up pretty quick.
Im about to switch from iphone 4 to the note 2!!! Scared and excited all at the same time!!!
Hello im looking to buy a new phone and I can't decide witch to get. Gs3 or the note 2 please help. I don't like the huge screen but it still looks really nice.
That's actually why I chose to get the S2 instead of the S3 once the S3 finally came out (I came from an iPhone). I prefer the squared out phones more than rounded, although I really did like the feel of the Nexus a lot.
I really need to do my own review of the Note II, because I've seen dozens and NONE have come close to highlighting all of the great features of my Note II. Some of which are:
- Using voice commands to take pictures. I can say "Shoot" or "Cheese" and my Note II will automatically take a photo.
- I can wake-up/unlock the phone using voice commands.
- "Quick View" uses the phones light sensor to activate the screen, briefly, to show the date, time, and missed calls/text/emails.
Note II FTW!
You sound like Cave Johnson from Portal 2. That's awesome !!!!
ik how u feel... i got the s3 two months ago and now i see this note two and wow.. next time im waiting longer
Can you transfer files between the 2 phones with touching the backs like in the S3?
what clock widget was that? Looked really cool. Does it flip?
i wouldnt mind either of these phones, i have a 16gb s3 and im loving it .. the extra screen space of the note is enticing though
hey! would u make a video about motion features and s beam on samsung galaxy note 2 or tell me motion features of note2!!!!!!!
so which one should i buy? which one do you advice me? s3 or note 2.. i want the note 2, but im afraid that im going to be disappointed becuz of it's a little bigger than its normal
FYI, and as the person in this video briefly pointed out. the boot up comparison is not gonna be a fair one because the carriers added extra boot animation to their variants.
excellent comparison i will be selling my s2 and s3 for this beast... thanks for the review
What's the name of your clock & weather widget?
is it HD Widgets?
