The note is often compared to the size of a tablet. The touch screen is 5.5 inches and it's physical size is 5.9 X 3.2 inches. This device is definitely not to be used as a one-handed device. Try touching the 4 corners of a touch screen to figure how big it is. Though the pixel density is reduced, it still has an amazing screen that is very repsonsive. On the front of this device, there is a home button with 2 hidden soft keys, a power button on the right, a headphone jack on the top, volume on the left, a charger port below and a a responsive S pen next to it and a front facing camera with sensors on top. On the back, there is an 8 MP camera with flash. The phone runs on the new Samsung software 4.1.1 jelly bean. Samsung kept the same design as the S3 a rounded rectangular back that comes in grey and white. One of the best feature is that the battery is a power house running on a 3100 mAh battery. Another useful feature that this phone is most recognized by is multi-tasking.
Have you ever wanted to google something while watching a video on youtube without closing any windows or missing anything? Well, with the big screen, it allows you to split the screen in half, showing both windows at the same time.
I really like your explanation and opinion of the Samsung Note II. But, you didn't really get into much detail about the actual "useless" features for teens; so what makes this product so useless? Lol, I am just curious :3
ReplyDeleteLike you said at the beginning, that this smartphone is not useful for teenagers,but as you can see that these days more and more teenagers are buying smartphones, so do you think that Samsung should release smartphones that are useful for teenagers and younger generations?
ReplyDeleteI for one believe that Samsung should create products that appeal to a more older demographic than teenagers. This will not only receive a good public response since most adults are in greater need of efficient smartphones for their work-related uses than the majority of teens who mainly use a smartphone as a tool to maintain their social lives, but it will also generate greater company revenue as working, older adults generally have considerably more wealth to invest in a smartphone than an average teenager.
DeleteYes I totally agree, but these days the number of teenagers buying smartphones are increasing rapidly, may it just be for their social lives. I think Samsung will make a greater fortune if they launch products for more younger generations. I think Samsung would want to worry about how much profit it would make rather than who the product will be more useful for.
DeleteWith all this praise of technology devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, it has occurred to me that not a single blog post ever mentioned the cost of any device. This simply reflects on how ignorant we have become as a society to the financial security of our lives by indirectly following the overly used saying, YOLO. We have this false mindset when it comes to anything, be it with beauty products, clothes or technology. But what we don't know is that money doesn't just grow on trees and so we must take extra care in managing our wealth. Here are some true stats to illustrate my point:
ReplyDelete-1/2 of those aged 55+ in Canada say they don't have sufficient savings for retirement
-1/5 of Canadians take loans to pay for daily living expenses
-43% of Canadians carry credit card balance from one month to the next
This gives a cogent insight into the stark consequences of not managing wealth properly for many of our fellow Canadians. I personally feel that people should seriously consider monitoring their spending's on goods such as tech devices since although life may be to short to hate, it is never too short to make irreversible mistakes like going bankrupt from over spending. So what do all of you think? Will this economic problem continue to grow in Canada and if so, how will this impact the nation as a whole?
Totally. I noticed that too! The reason why people never mentioned the cost of these devices is probably because money isn't the main component to focus on. I mean think about it, when we go to a store the first thing to do is see a really nice shirt and you inspect the material, fabric etc. Then, normally people would look over the cost and then see if it's reasonable enough. Same thing with these devices. We carefully notice the body of the device, see what it can do, whether or not it's convenient etc. I know, that the saying "Money doesn't buy happiness" is important but still not a lot of people understand this meaning. I mean even though we all say that, it doesn't mean we follow it. If you notice, some ads don't mention the full price of their product until it hits in stores. This is how people do business. I really liked how you illustrated the following points and expanded in great detail. Now, in answer to your question, because the economy is booming, and there are more people coming into this world, from time-to-time people will face financial crisis's,and bankruptcy and money failures in life. for e.g If a mother has 8 children, and she is really poor and her husband is working out of the country, think of all the struggles she will face overtime. She needs to pay for food, clothes diapers and a LOT more. But it is all part of growing up and developing. I mean we also pay a significant tax amount to the government too , so it's not too much of a surprise that if this economic problem does continue to grow within Canada. I have seen some ads where they can offer financial help, and how to deal with mortgage rates and all and even if it does impact the nation, it can be easily fixed within a time period. As more and more people invest in homes, and finance, there will always be plenty of people to talk to and sort issues out. This is what I think :)
DeleteI agree with you when you state that there are a number of financial aid companies out in the market today to offer assistance to people but what we must consider is that they, like any other company, want profit as well, genuinely helping their clients is another thing. Hiring a financial adviser is very expensive and so the majority of people cannot even afford one. Also, if people were to simply value their wealth and spend judiciously, there won't even be a need to obtain loans or get bankruptcy aid. This just illustrates another problem of the world we live in today where the majority of individuals choose to find a temporary and convenient solution to a problem instead of finding a permanent solution to the root of the problem. In the case of personal financial crisis, instead of opting for a permanent solution such as practicing good spending habits which almost guarantees a bankruptcy free lifetime, most would just receive immediate financial help which may only help them for short term. By the way, I had trouble deciphering what you meant when you said "plenty of people to talk and sort issues out". Who were you referring to and what did you mean by talking and sorting out issues?
