I'm reading all this with good humor. There is absolutely no doubt that the Note 2 blows away the I(idiot) phone away in terms of hardware specs and customization. BTW..No offense to your girl.Samsung Galaxy note 2 & 3 beat Apple Iphones in all specifications hands down.Today even the original Adam will never be tempted to bite this apple under any circumstances.
Hello everyone,
I’m going to explain you that why Samsung galaxy Note II is better than Iphone5. Some Iphone lovers told me that Iphone 5 is better than galaxy note II. I told them that’s funny. In my look, Samsung Galaxy Note II is better than Iphone5 . Lets see why –
No.1: Note II has android OS and iphone5 has iOS. We know that android OS is easy to use and favorite to everyone. So, I’m giving full marks to Note II.
No.2: The Dimension of Note II is 5.94 x 3.17 x 0.37 inches (151 x 80.5 x 9.4 mm). And the Dimension of Iphone5 is 4.87 x 2.31 x 0.30 inches (123.8 x 58.6 x 7.6 mm). So again Note II is stronger than iPhone5 in this point also.
No.3: Weight of Note II is 182g and iPhone5 is 112g. In this point iPhone5 should win in low weight , whatever. It’s not a big matter.
No.4: Physical size of Note II display is 5.5inches and iPhone5 is 4.0inches. So Note II has big screen size than iPhone5. Big screen will give extra pleasure to users.
No.5: Resolution of Note II is 720 x 1280 pixels and iPhone5 is 640 x 1136 pixels. Note II is better than iPhone5 in resolution also.
No.6: Both of devices has 8mp camera. But the iPhone5 has extra feature in camera. Aperture size: F2.4 and Camera sensor size is 1/3.2". But Note II has latest features like Back-illuminated sensor (BSI), CMOS image sensor, Auto focus, Smile detection, Burst mode, Panorama, Scenes. If we’ll check features of iPhone5 again we’ll get this like Back-illuminated sensor (BSI), Auto focus, Touch to focus, Digital image stabilization, Face detection, Geo tagging, High Dynamic Range mode (HDR), Panorama. So, in this case Iphone5 is better than Note II. But Note II is better than iPhone5 in front camera. It has 1.9mp front camera and iPhone5 has only 1.2mp.
No.7: Note II has Quad core, 1600 MHz, ARM Cortex-A9, which is very high quality. And iPhone 5 has Dual core, 1300 MHz, Apple Swift, which is not stronger than Note II.
No.8: Note II has 2GB ram and iPhone 5 has 1GB ram only. So, in this point Note II is better than iPhone5.
No.9: If we’re looking for battery capacity, I think Note II is more and more better than iPhone5. Lets see, Note II has 40.8 days (980 hours) standby time (2G), 16hours talktime in 3G and 37.1 days (890 hours) stand by time in 3G. But iPhone 5 has only 9.4 days (225 hours) stand by time and 8hours talktime capacity in 3G. Note II has 3100 mAh battery power and iPhone 5 has only 1440 mAh battery power.
So buddies, which one is best?? Of course Galaxy Note II is best. Iphone 5 also a good device but not more than Galaxy Note II.
My ratings for Galaxy Note II is 9.2 out of 10 and iPhone 5 is 8.5 out of 10. What’s about you?
Most folks aren't hard core root your phone types. Most smartphone users want a phone that works for them and does what it is supposed to do. My wife has an iPhone and she loves it. She could care less which phone has more ram, or who has the bigger screen. It does all the things she needs it to do and that makes her happy. I myself prefer a little more customization in my phone so I use an Android. It does all the things I need it to do. I have used her iPhone and owned my own iPhone and it did what I needed it to do. She has used my phone and has been happy about its performance.
There is a smartphone and an OS for everyone out there. Let's just be happy with our choices. There is room for everyone lol
When people ask me what smart phone they should get, I ask do you want something that just plain works or do you want to tinker?
Actually I just tell them to get an iPhone. The reason is that if they have to ask, they didn't do any research and that usually means they are not really into tinkering their own toys. Now the Galaxy line is almost up to par with iPhone as a use out of the box smartphone, but just to be on the safe side, I told them to get iPhone.
Bingo. I am in the exact same situation. My wife had an Android phone and tablet, after she play with an iPad she wanted and iPhone because it's just easier.

This is a good answer...funny too. I'm thinking..lemming's or Amish .. lol.
I don't root nor jailbreak either phones...but i find it humorous to hear some Android folks proclaim their "tinkering" ability only to find that they run stock OEM software.
But, if something goes wrong with thier phone? Ha! Guess who they call..lol
I don't root or jailbreak, but Android requires tinkering unless you really don't use the phone much. Here are some examples:
1) Original stock Message app on AT&T Note II does not work with group messaging. You have to find one that works. You have to go online and do research to find out which one actually works.
2) There is no Find my phone originally. You could download app, but most of them are really bad comparing to Apple's Find my iPhone. I found one only after tried out 3 different ones. And then with 4.3 update, I could use Android's Device Manager. But no one knows it is even there. Everyone I told at work had no idea it exists.
3) There was no Virtual Voicemail out of the box. You have to find an app that does it. Most of the people I know who owns Android actually had to "call" voicemail to check messages.
4) International keyboard and voice to text. It can do it, but you have to download and configure it. iPhone does it out of the box.
I spent a week playing with my Note II just to make it works normally. My wife or my mom would never do that. So yeah you have do some tinkering if you really want to use Android.
Better device overall? that depends on the user, I would just say they are very different.
