Many features including air view, pop-up, and the stylus, which are exclusive to the Note 2, were demonstrated. Pre-orders begun few days back and the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 would come for INR 39, 990. Assem emphasized heavily on the 1.6 GHZ quad-core Exynos processor and the 3100mAh battery. The battery is doomed to last for 15 hours of talktime on a 3G network and more than 24 hours on 2G.
Air View is something, which allows you to linger over ay content or an image without actually having to open the whole thing. You use air view to get a preview of the thing and if you want, you open it.
Pop Up note is another marvelous feature, which opens up the S Notepad when you open up your Stylus simultaneously during a call. PopUp Note is as intelligent as that!
In addition, the device’s new gesture pad feature, called Quick Command, lets users quickly activate frequently used apps with the S Pen. The command pad appears when a user just swipes upward on the screen with the S Pen button pressed. Users can quickly send an email, make a call, or search a location as they draw pre-registered marks on the command pad or register a unique mark to allow for quick and easy access.
