Samsung Galaxy Note 2: the description, the instruction, responses, a photo. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100

A large display diagonal, a productive processor, an impressive amount of memory and a capacious enough battery - all this is in the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The characteristics of its hardware and software components will be provided within this material.

Set

This device is positioned by the manufacturer as a premium gadget. Accordingly, and the bundle should be appropriate. But anyway, there are certain remarks to it. In addition to the mobile device itself, the boxed version of the device includes such components and accessories: a battery, an interface cable for connection to a personal computer, a charger, a stylus and an instruction manual. This list clearly does not have enough headphones, a protective film, a cover and a memory card. In the first case, even there is an appropriate port, but there are no stereo headsets in the bundle. Although the front panel of the device is protected by the glass of the "Gorilla Eye" of the 2nd generation, but an additional film to preserve its original state would clearly not be superfluous. A similar situation with the sides and the back cover - they are also best protected, but only with the help of a cover. Although the capacity of the built-in storage device is equal to an impressive 16 GB, but you can expand it by installing an external flash card. This will make it possible to use the memory subsystem in Samsung Galaxy Note 2 more rationally. The characteristics (the instruction points to this nuance) of an external drive are such: the micro-SD card type, and its maximum capacity is 32 GB. This will definitely be enough to place personal user files here (photos, videos, books, music).

Design

Typical design for Note 2, as for the device line "Galaxy." Most of the front panel is a display. In this case, its diagonal is 5.55 inches. Above him, a speaker, a front camera and "windows" of sensors are displayed. Below, strictly in the middle, is the main mechanical key to return to the main desktop. At the edges of it are the touch keys "Back" and "Menu". As noted earlier, the front panel is fully protected by the glass of the Gorilla Eye in the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The characteristic given by the manufacturer in the technical specifications indicates that its second generation is being used. The device's lock button is displayed on the right edge, and on the left there is a swing to adjust the volume of the gadget. The reverse side of the smart phone has a micro-USB port. There is also a hole for storing the stylus. And on the upper edge of the audio port 3.5-mm. On the back of the smartphone, in addition to the manufacturer's logo, there is also an opening of the main camera with backlighting based on a single LED and a loud speaker.

Computational heart of the gadget

A very productive processor solution is used in Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The characteristics of Exynos 4412 are: 4 computing modules based on the "A9" architecture, which can be accelerated to 1.6 GHz at maximum load. Its semiconductor crystal is manufactured according to the norms of 32 nm of the technological process, and the maximum level of its power consumption can reach 4 W. This is Samsung's own development and this chip was used in the flagship device of 2012 - Galaxy S3. And although by the standards of the mobile gadget industry 3 years - an impressive time, but even now this processor can cope with almost any task. For example, the same "Asphalt 8" will be launched on this device, even if not at the maximum settings. For the rest of the tasks (viewing Internet portals, playing video, listening to music), the level of its performance is redundant, and it will handle them without problems.

Display and graphic solution

One of the main features of the device is the diagonal of the display, which, as mentioned earlier, is an impressive 5.55 inches. It is made using the "Super AMOLED" technology. Color reproduction, contrast and brightness at it at an acceptable level. The second important component of the graphics subsystem is the video accelerator Mali-400MP4 in Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Features (the phone thanks to them for today allows you to solve most problems) this adapter is really impressive. Its computing performance is equal to 15.8 GFLOPS at a chip operating frequency of 440 MHz.

Cameras: what they are capable of

Two high-quality cameras are installed in the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The characteristics and photos of the main ones are really impressive. She has a sensor element of 8 megapixels. At the same time there is an autofocusing system and LED lighting. Also at the program level, an algorithm for recognizing faces is implemented. As a result, the quality of photos obtained with the help of the main camera of this device does not cause any complaints. The video on it is recorded as "1080 p". The quality of its videos, too, does not arise questions: the color rendition is excellent, the picture is legible. The front camera is based on a more modest sensory element in 1.9 MP. To get high-quality images this is clearly not enough at the moment. But for "SELFI" and video calls this is quite enough, and it is for the solution of these tasks that it is intended.

Device memory

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 boasts a well-organized memory subsystem. The amount of installed RAM in it is 2 GB. The size of the integrated internal drive is 16 GB. In this case, the user can use only 11 GB to install his programs and store personal data . This is quite enough for comfortable and normal operation. The rest is occupied by the system software. If 11 GB of internal storage space is not enough for the user, you can install an external flash card for 32 GB. The corresponding slot is in this device. This will certainly solve the problem of lack of free space in the device. Well, the most valuable information is best stored on some cloud service. This will allow it to be restored in the event of a breakdown or theft of the device without problems.

Autonomy

The dimensions of the device are impressive (one diagonal of display is only worth 5.55 inches) and with a battery of small capacity it could not boast an impressive degree of autonomy. As a result, the battery capacity is 3100 mAh in Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The characteristic, of course, is far from outstanding today. But this value is enough to ensure that the device with an average load level on one battery charge could last 2-3 days. Taking into account the diagonal of the screen of the device and the hardware filling, this value will not be significantly increased. If you run a resource-intensive application (for example, "Asphalt 8"), the battery life will be reduced to 6-8 hours.

Data exchange

An impressive list of ways to exchange data with the outside world is implemented in Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Characteristics in this regard, he has such:

• Support for mobile networks GSM and 3G. However, the device has only one slot for SIM card installation, and it can not work in DUOS mode. In the first case, you will only be able to view unpretentious websites on the Internet and exchange messages in social networks. But already with the help of 3G technology, all these restrictions are removed, you can even watch online video.
• Do not forget the Korean developers and about "Blutuz." It is indispensable in cases where it is necessary to connect wireless headphones to a smartphone or to exchange personal files of small size with a similar mobile device.
• Also in the device there is a module "Wai-Fay". It is exactly like 3G, it allows you to receive and send data to the global web in any quantity and at a good speed. In this case, the most "heavy" sites will be loaded quickly enough.
• Two devices are provided for navigation in the device. One of them is tethered to satellites and can work, both with JPS, and with GLONASS. Well, the second is based on the location of the towers of mobile communications and is called A-JPS.
• Among the wired interfaces, you can highlight the presence of the previously mentioned micro-USB and audio port. The first is designed to charge the battery or connect to a PC. The second one is used in cases when it is necessary to output a sound signal to an external speaker system.

System software

As a programming basis, "Android" in Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 stands. The characteristic of the system software component indicates version 4.1. Additionally, on top of the system software, a proprietary shell "TouchBiz" is installed. With its help, you can easily and easily customize the smartphone's software interface to your needs. Smoothness and reliability of the system software work does not cause any complaints.

Applied software

A typical set of preinstalled software is in the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Features (reviews indicate this) allow significantly more software on it to pre-deploy. Programmers on it in advance installed a standard set of mini-applications from Google, social networking clients and built-in programs of the operating system. Everything else will have to be downloaded from the app store. But, on the other hand, you can more accurately configure the device for your own needs.

User opinion

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 is a premium device. Hence the increased requirements for it, which completely gadget. He has no weaknesses. Certain remarks are caused only by the configuration of the device. But, on the other hand, the owner of such an expensive device can afford to separately purchase a cover, a protective film and an external drive. And to choose any of these accessories is exactly what it really needs. There are no more shortcomings with this smartphone.

Results

Although released in 2012, this gadget, but any modern software on the forces of Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The characteristics of its hardware and software components indicate this. At the same time, the price of this phone dropped to $ 200. This is an impeccable ratio of price, performance and quality.
