Seriously. There are serious flaws with the Note 2 and Android. Having said that, i have been a keen user of Apple products, but this doesn't change the fact over complaints i have accumulated over the use of Note 2 and Android. Here's my hands on review of the Note 2 since i acquired it in Nov 2012.
Resolution of screen is just not good enough. While color is good, it just doesn't stand out. The touch screen has serious serious flaws, sensitivity is at most unpredictable. Accuracy with finger is horrible, and worse with the S-Pen. You can almost NEVER get the right position with the S-Pen. The uncontrollable sensitivity makes it almost impossible to use at times. Pinch to zoom is JUST HORRIFIC to use! Lags and it just doesn't get to the level you need!
The buttons, I can't recall how many times the ring volume was either turned down or muted due to the absolutely stupid placement of flimsy volume buttons.
Touch sensitive keys, with absolutely no practicability at all. Back button of which you could never predict what it does.
Processor and memory, well yes it does have the top of line processor and memory but it's at most good on paper only. Serious lagging and memory hog, that it is almost unusable at most times if you don't clear the memories manually. And the processor speed is just not noticeable at all. Opening apps can be lagging at most times, which other tasks, not even close to smooth. And did i mention about the heat? Play some games and you can feel the heat of back, REAL HEAT!
Camera is just lousy. And it's just stupid to disallow camera use when battery is low. At first it was just unable to use flash, and then it just totally restricts camera use.
Browser is NOT USER FRIENDLY AT ALL! Double tap and it zooms to a level not viewable for anything, it doesn't resize to the columns.
Data speed and connectivity is seriously flawed as well. Connectivity is never stable. Speed is much limited and I know for a fact it's not a issue with service provider. I have an iPhone, an iPad and the Note 2 side by side on Maxis and the Note 2 max out at 4Mbps while the other 2 goes above 10 Mbps.
Apps are just not up to standards. Most of which are developed for the sake of it. Not up to quality or practicability. Having said that I will not judge ALL the apps.
Ok i just need to vent my frustration with the Note 2. There are more other complaints i have but I just need to vent it out.
Then, the ultimate question is, why are you still using it?Resolution of screen is just not good enough. While color is good, it just doesn't stand out.

You are the first to have such a long list of complaints and there are quite a lot of ex-iOS users here and all of them are so happy with Note II.
Even our respectable Uncle Benny has a Note II and iPhone 5, he did make a fair comparison between two phones and Note 2 seems to shine in most of the areas.
Anyway, not trying to protect Note II as Samsung pays me nothing even I brag how good it is. It goes back to the users.
Cheers.
