“The Power that lies in a Single Note”
Phablet, a term used for Smartphones appears to be bigger than
an ordinary phone and at the same time, pretty smaller for an ordinary
tablet, but performs well in both ways. What tickles the techie these days
is the hottest Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and how this is extremely useful for
students. Unlike the other usual phones, Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is different
in size. It has a -5.5inch LCD and functional Stylus or the S-pen that makes
the phablet very unique. With the Samsung bundle of phones and tablet,
the S-pen adds enough experience for the productivity of the phone,
making it easy for the user to scribble down notes or memo and draw as
well. And not only that, the Note 2 is more polished in terms of how this is
made be it its inside to its outside system.
Bigger note for bigger hands
Frankly speaking, I was amazed on the Galaxy
Note 2 and at the same time problematic on how I am
going to use this as my new phone. Truly, one-hand
operation is not-so-applicable on this kind of phone,
but because my Baby Nen-Nen (my Note 2’s name)
is considered to be user-friendly, it has a feature of
changing the mode of the keyboards. It took only a
few days to adjust to Samsung’s size and with a bigger
screen of -5.5inch, relieving me from eye strain. I can
even look to the details in pictures sent to me. For those
with smaller hands, it is about time we enjoy Note 2’s
numerous benefits and get the surprise of yourself.
Note 2: the making
The plausible Galaxy Note 2 has a 1.6 quad-core
processor and 4.1 jellybean android syst em that makes
the phone perform like a computer. It is faster to use and
more capable of using many applications. Just imagine
that I have a desktop I can bring wherever I go. It is more
reliable than the said desktop computer because of its
easy-to-carry characteristic suitable for students. Due
to the advancement of technology, research is made
available not only for desktop computers, but also with
smartphones. That is the power of mobile network. With
its 3G HSPA21+Mbps capacity and available 4G LTE
100mbps, makes uploads speeds, download speeds,
latency and indoor penetration are all terrific.

A pen beyond writing
Want a pen that doesn’t only produces ink
but rather produces creativity and productivity? The
possible answer to this, is Galaxy Note 2 S Pen. The S
Pen is surprisingly useful for it adds easy access to have
quick commands in the phone itself. I can even have
an instant scroll from top to bottom using the S Pen with
no touch. Just the magic of the pen that lies beneath
its tip! Scribble down notes for reminders on the Note
2’s sticky notes and draw as many images as you can
using the S Pen for it has different kinds of brushes, pen,
pencil and highlighter and customize the color you
want to achieve, all of these features are located at
the S Note that will surely be a hit for artistic students like
me. One more thing is, the overall sense of precision it
can give. Like hitting tiny buttons on the screen, making
selections in editing your pictures or even tracing letter
on your keyboard using the Swype and Swiftkey Fit
features with the S Pen. Typing texts is a lot easier with
the S Pen because you don’t need to type the letters
one by one on the keyboard but you can write it down
using the handwriting pad of the Samsung Keyboard by
just changing its mode easily. It can identify any kind of
penmanship.
