The Galaxy Note 2 is able to show two applications at the same time with flexible width on the screen with its split-screen feature. However, support of this feature varies per app.[22][23]
The Galaxy Note II features a 5.5-inch HD SuperAMOLED S-Stripe RGB (3 subpixels/pixel) (non-PenTile) screen with 1280 × 720 resolution, a 1.6 GHz quad-core Cortex-A9 CPU, 2 GB RAM, an 8 MP rear camera and 1.9 MP front camera, and a 3,100 mAh battery. It is slightly thinner than its predecessor at 9.4 mm (0.37 inches), albeit also being slightly heavier by 2 grams (0.071 oz). Depending on the specific model, the phone featuresHSPA+ 21 Mbit/s along with 4G LTE (42.2 Mbit/s DC-HSPA+ for LTE Version).[24][25][26] The Galaxy Note II is equipped withBroadcom BCM4334 chipset for the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz dual-band with maximum rate up to 150 Mbit/s, FM radio tuner andBluetooth 4.0 + HS support.[27]
The Galaxy Note II was supposed to be available in 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB storage capacity variants, each expandable by up to an additional 64 GB with amicroSD card. However, as of 8 January 2013, only the 16 GB and 32 GB versions are available and there has been no release date for or any indication of a 64 GB version of the Note II to be offered.
The smartphone's pressure-sensitive S Pen is slightly thicker than inthe original Galaxy Note, and a feature marketed asAir View allows a user to preview content by hovering the pen over the content, similar to thehoverbox feature of a mouse in some desktop computers, such as thumbnails in the gallery and a preview tooltip on the video player's time seek bar, and zooming in the web browser (SamsungS Browser)[28][29] and for scrolling.[30] Another feature marketed asQuick Command reveals a list of available commands at the swipe of the S Pen.[24][31][32][33]
The S Pen's 1,024 levels of pen-pressure sensitivity give it significantly more accuracy and precision than the original Note's 256.[34][32][33]
Both front and rear camera use the same hardware as used in theGalaxy S3, with eight megapixels (3264×2448) rear facing camera and 1.9 Megapixels on the front facing camera.[8]
The video resolution of the rear camera is 1080p at 30 frames per second while the front camera films 720p at 30 frames per second.
The Galaxy Note 2 is able to capture 6 megapixel (3264×1836) images during 1080p@30fps video recording, which is the highest16:9 aspect ratio resolution supported by the 4:3 image sensor, matching the aspect ratio of the video.[8]
While the camera interface resembles that of the Galaxy S3,slow motion mode (720×480 at 120 frames per second) has been added. The slow motion videos lack audio.[35]
Theburst shot mode is able to capture up to twenty full-resolution photos per row at around six frames per second.[36]
The Galaxy Note II is available in Titanium Grey, Marble White, Martian Pink, Amber Brown and Ruby Wine case colors. Some features were removed, which vary as customized by carrier, include FM/TV tuner, charging pins, and Multiple-SIM card support. To preventgrey market reselling, models of the Galaxy Note II, and other models (Galaxy S4, Galaxy S4 mini, Galaxy Note III and Galaxy S III) manufactured after July 2013 implement aregional lockout system in certain regions; requiring that the firstSIM card used on a European and North American model be from a carrier in that region. Samsung stated that the lock would be removed once a valid SIM card is used.[37]
The baseband chipset of GT-N7100 is Intel Wireless PMB9811X Gold Baseband processor.[38]The baseband chipset of SGH-T889, SHV-E250K, and SHV-E250S isQualcomm Gobi MDM9215.[27][39][40] SHV-E250L hasQualcomm Gobi MDM9615M for theEVDO revision B connectivity.[41]
Most of the variants supportGSM/GPRS/EDGE in the 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1.8 GHz, and 1.9 GHz bands; andUMTS/HSPA+21 in 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1.9 GHz, and 2.1 GHz.
SGH-T889 and SGH-T889V are devices that supportAWS-1 for HSPA networks capable of transferring data overAdvanced Wireless Services band inHSPA mode on carriers such asT-Mobile US, and in Canada,Wind Mobile,Mobilicity, andVidéotron.
SCH-R950, SHV-E250L, SCH-i605, SPH-L900, and SCH-N719 are to connect tocdmaOne,CDMA 1xRTT, andEV-DO rev 0/A/B. All models are additionally GSM capable with the exception of the SCH-R950. SPH-L900 can only use WCDMA/GSM services while roaming internationally due to it having an embedded SIM.
GT-N7108 is to supportTD-SCDMA networks in the 1.9 GHz and 2.0 GHz bands, and connect to theGSM/GPRS/EDGE 1.9 GHz band.[42]
SGH-T889 is known to support dual-cell HSPA+ up to 42.2 Mbit/s.[27]
Only some Galaxy Note II variants have a built-in FM radio tuner. For example, some US and Canadian variants (SGH-i317,[43] SGH-i317M[44]) and the LTE International version (N7105) lack the FM radio tuner support.[45] SC-02E for Japan market has 1seg digital-TV tuner and antenna.[46] Korean variants have theT-DMB tuner as well as the T-DMB antenna that can be concealed in the phone body.
Korean variants with the T-DMB tuner and the T-DMB antenna are 3 g (0.11 oz) heavier than other variants. SC-02E forNTT DoCoMo with 1seg TV tuner is 5 g (0.18 oz) heavier and 0.3 mm (0.012 in) thicker.[47]
Depending on the model, some Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100) units have the two optional charging pins on the back side of the device, just right of the battery holder, that can be used for wireless charging with the dedicated wireless charging back cover variant. Galaxy Note II displays the notification message built in the firmware when it is charged wirelessly. SCH-L900 does not have the pins. SGH-T889 has the pins, but they are disabled.[48]
