Design
The design of the device is again quite similar to other Galaxy smartphone devices available in the market today, and apart from the bigger size it's hard to differentiate the device from the Galaxy SIII. But the real key lies in the functionality that the device offers, and compared to the older device the Note 2 certainly has evolved a lot. For instance, the width of the device, despite the bigger display, has gone down from 3.27 inches to 3.17 inches, making it sleeker for single-handed operation, which was a big concern for the older Note N7000.
The device is slim and lightweight and that additionally makes it easier to hold and carry for longer times as well, especially as the S-Pen stylus is what you will end up using most of the time.
The Note 2 has all its keys on the sides, which makes them easily accessible. The volume rocker and power key sum up the physical key inclusion in the device, but things to notice here are that the power and volume rocker keys have been placed towards the center of the side and that makes them easier to access even for people with short thumbs.
The connectivity port has been placed right at the bottom of the device so that the looks of the device are not spoilt, plus this also makes the device easy to use while charging. The top of the device houses the audio connector and the auxiliary microphone for noise cancellation.
