I am Malaysian, born and work here, pay Malaysian government income tax for the pass 18yrs. I can make any statement anyway I like.

Used both these phones, Note 2 plenty of customization, great size screen and the battery life is good. But after a while when I have a number of apps running and with plenty of heavy usage, battery drains off fast and the phone lags. Movement isn't that smooth.

For the iPhone 5, battery sucks, built quality is definitely amazing. Can't customize stuff but very easy to use and the speed is very fast with the new iPhone 5 even after long pronounced usage.

I have use for 2 months
Excellent battery life

Iphone 5 is far better

comment of the month....

This what we call an unbiased comment not like some just taking sides but just being ignorant on both devices

Seriously I do wonder how hard is it to figure out which phone you really need. Each and every phone has its own pro and cons which may or may not matters. If you wanted to switch over to Note2, you really don't need anyone's to tell you. Change if not nice change back.

What is the most important is How much is the cost of having it? Does it really suits you because you are the person whom will be using it for a long time. I guess you will not going to keep changing it, as personally I am not a rich guy can change it for fashion. I know there are many rich people's here can buy both Note 2 and IP 5 together to play around.
I have to say Go for what you think or feel it will really Like. then Go For It.

This guys is real

there are always a test unit u can play with when u went to both store..

don't just buy without testing both...

im a previous galaxy note user

also a 4s user..

my preference note is too big.. even I try use note 2 for 2 weeks I still feel too many function that I wont bother much cause its not needed...

so I go for an iphone 5 now.. which I am comfortable with the ecosystem and also functions...

but other people preference will be much different on mine...

that doesn't give you the right to tell people and judge us which one to buy just because it suits your preference...

both phones are better for people based on their needs...

in the end consumer WINS...

Wa half half ? Apple losing market share can't deny that

My suggestion is go for iphone5 because i'm right now using iphone 4 32gb. Before this i'm using samsung galaxy s plus 8gb. At the beginning, I saw the advertisement of samsung galaxy s plus quite impressive. So, i decide to buy it. But after 6month using it, felt like 'kena tipu'. The android version maximum is 2.3.6, which right now is 4.1.2. It's lagging, apps not many as android saids 'many free apps', the gps detection is slow[takes 10-15mins].I'm decide to buy iphone 4 after i got iPad. Right now, if samsung release samsung s20, still I'll buy with apple product. I want to stick to my iphone 4 until 4years and change to new iphone

Saw my friend using note 2, i would say it is huge! Lol but my friend overcome it by using Bluetooth while on phone, then she actually very satisfied with the big screen and the pencil.

While for me, I hv order iPhone 5, as all the while I m using apple product. I do think that apple product is more user friendly. Note 2 no doubt the function is good but it is too big, I need to phone where by it can fit easily to my pocket. So I go for iPhone 5.

I have used so many androids n till today I still say the galaxy s is the WORST android phone I have used
I will never recommend it especially to new android users. Newer androids eg S2 S3 n especially note2
has improved it by "tbousand" times
Well i got bashed several times speaking about this at its thread

s2 still lagging. And s3 'macam sama je' lagging(when many apps installed).
s2 vs iphone 4. iphone 4 win(stability, performance).

Ooooo

The lyn android demigod had spoken.

...

Note 2 has annoying feature where the gallery takes long time to load.

It tries to copy photo stream concept by pulling all photos from different accounts like Facebook, Dropbox, etc.

If ur connection is slow, it takes ages to load the pictures stored inside ur own phone.

U can select to load only photos stored on ur phone but the next time u open the gallery, the same crap happens again.

This is huge design oversight from the Samsung team and I spit on their motto " design for human".

thumbs up +1
before this i'm samsung fan boy
now apple fan boy. huge fan, addict. HAHA

I dont really know what fanboy fanboy you guys are so proud of. Just a damn phone.

I have iPad2, Nexus 7, iPhone 4S, 5, Galaxy Note and S3. Its just part of the puzzle. Nothing is ever perfect.

iphone 5 overtakes note 2

should be APPLE overtake SAMSUNG?
