Samsung Galaxy Note 2 a better human design with the S Pen
Apple on Monday just announced that iPhone 5 sales topped more than five million over its first weekend, hit a sell record compared to iPhone 4s, which have a four million opening weekend sales. But at least seen from now, it has no obvious effect on Samsung.
Samsung Galaxy S3 has sold more than 20 million already, and the Note 2 is attracting a lot of attention thanks to its better hardware and comes preloaded with Android Jelly Bean with new features. The most appealing feature of the Galaxy Note 2 is the addition of the S Pen.
Compared to Galaxy Note, The new S Pen on Note 2 has been further improved. The new S Pen is slightly thicker and longer than the previous one. The Pen shape upgraded to an elongated cylindrical shape, thereby increasing the grip surface.
Another new feature is Air View. It lets you hover the pen over the screen (without touching) to activate previews, such as looking inside an album in the picture gallery. The technology used with the S Pen allows it to be recognized even when its a few millimeters away from the screen, That is to say you can browse the content without click the icon. For example, you can hover the pen over an email, and youll get a preview of the first few lines.
With Easy Clip technology, Its also possible to draw around anything you see on the screen and cut it out to paste elsewhere. Simply pull out the pen and youll be able to scribble stuff down in seconds.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 vs Google Nexus 7 Should You Spend the Extra Bucks for the S Pen
Samsung said Tuesday the galaxy note 8.0, a competitor to iPad mini and Nexus 7, will hit stores in the U.S. this Thursday. The South Korean electronics giant said the small 8-inch tablet (features S Pen stylus) will only be available in a Wi-Fi version and sell for $399, much more expensive than the rival. The model comes with 16 gigabytes of storage. So Should You Spend the Extra Bucks for the S-Pen? Several days ago, I have compared the specs and other features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 and Apple iPad mini and today I will continue to introduce you how it stack up against the Nexus 7.
Size
The galaxy note 8 has a large display, but is quite thinner than the Nexus 7.
Weight
The two tablets weigh roughly the same, with the Nexus 7 tipping the scale just a hair more than the Note 8.
Display
Just like their name says, galaxy note 8 features an 8-inch screen while the Nexus 7 has a 7-inch display. If you can sacrifice that (diagonal) inch of real estate, the Nexus 7�s screen should appear sharper.
Processor
Both tablets sport quad core processors. The Note�s offers better performance, but for everyday use, both will more than suffice.
RAM
In this aspect, Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 doubles the Nexus 7�s 1 GB of random-access memory (RAM).
Storage
The storage edge goes to Samsung�s tablet. It offers larger internal flash memory options and can be expanded via microSD. The Nexus 7 doesn�t have a microSD slot.
Wireless
If you�re looking for a Wi-Fi only device, both deliver. As far as (more expensive) mobile data options go, the Note has LTE and the Nexus 7 settles for HSPA+.
Cameras
Galaxy note 8 has two cameras: a 5-megapixel main camera and a 1.3-megapixel user-facing camera. The Nexus 7 has no rear camera. So if you want to take photos with your tablet, just get the Note 8. Anyway, Megapixels aren�t everything.
Battery
People always want to take battery capacity with grains of salt, as many other factors combine to determine actual uptime. With that said, the Note 8.0�s battery holds a bit more juice.
Intangibles
Since the release of the Note 10.1, Samsung has been working to improve the user experience in its Note family of tablets, adding software enhancements that probably should have been there from the get-go.
The Galaxy Note 8.0�s stylus (S Pen) sees some upgrades, with greater integration into the Note�s Touchwiz software. Unsheathe the stylus, and the Note will prepare for pen input. Hover the S Pen over the screen, and select apps will respond accordingly (like previewing a post in Flipboard).
Apart from the S Pen, Samsung�s multi-windows feature, which allows for two simultaneous apps to run on the screen, has been thankfully enhanced too. Multi window is easily the best feature on the Note 8.0, especially when you need to copy and paste something between two apps.
The Nexus 7�s X-factor is its price. The 7-inchNexus 7 exists only for $200, much cheaper than Samsung Note 8. In the software aspect, Google Nexus 7 ships with the newest version of Android (4.2.2, Jellybean). It will also get future updates much quicker than Samsung�s tablet will. The Nexus 7 also sports �pure� (unskinned) Android, which many customers prefer over manufacturer UIs.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a stunning tablet with a truly useful stylus, but the price is a little expensive. So which is for you? Are you going to get the Galaxy Note 8.0 or Nexus 7?
