Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Review

It's not much a secret I'm a tech geek and today I've decided to give a quick overview of my latest gadget; The Note 2.

Starting off if you are looking for the full rundown of specs and the lil whatevers under the hood of this phone, well, you probably won't get it here. This is the 'meat heads' perspective.

First Impression
Yes, this thing is big. 5.5" screen is a handful. But for the big man out there looking for something to fit their hands this phone is honestly perfect. My thumbs always smashed my last phones letters and it was equally frustrating when I never hit the right damn buttons. Now with the massive screen that rarely happens. My gripe is just 'teaching' the swipe how I talk. The is also very light for its size. Which makes me a lil nervous. I like having some weight in my hands. If also seems target fragile because of that. But I'll get into that later.

After a week of use
Well I already scratched the screen...twice. Remember when I said this thing felt fragile? Screen can't hold up at all apparently. The Otter Box and screen gaurd can't get here soon enough. Bit how about this gigantic battery?!? Holy damn this thing carries a charge. How much? I've had this thing off the old since 4am. Ran Pandora at least a total 7 hours today and barely put a dent in it. Watched YouTube, bogged, texted, Facebook, you name it.  It is now almost 9pm and I just broke 40%. Effing crazy. I literally don't need to worry about charging this thing. At all. Ever. Unless its bedtime.

Performance
This things rocking on the speed department. The apps function and load up fast as hell. The speakers are loud. The screen is responsive. And the S-Pen, despite not playing with it much yet, offers the ability to doodle and paint random crap all over the place them share it fast. The graphics are about as HD add I can imagine for modern phones.
Ok I gushed enough for the moment.
I'll try and finish this up later. In the mean time of you are looking to get this big sumbitch then I say get it! But for God's sake get some great to protect it!
