Last year's Samsung Galaxy Note was something of a surprising hit: it sold tens of millions, proving that many people really do want a smartphone on steroids. The 2012 sequel is as scorchingly fast as the Samsung Galaxy S3, with the same, dazzling, sharp Super AMOLED screen technology, and a crisp, speedy camera only surpassed by the iPhone 5’s, and an enormous 3,100mAh battery that got us throug...
