They called it big phone because if you see size difference between note 20 and note 2 , note 2 is still wider than note 20. Note 2 - 151.1*80.5*9.4 Note 20 pro - 164.8*77.2*8.1 ( Thanks to edge to edge display)
@@legendsathya3041 Well that's the phone itself being wider while the display on the 5.5" Note2 is actually not, it's 68.5mm wide on the Note2 and 74.1mm on the 6.9" Note20U. In case you're wondering the actual display height on the Note2 is 121.8mm vs. 158.8mm on it's younger brother. This makes for a 41% area increase on the Note20U. So still a massive difference in screen real estate while maintaing basically the same phone size.
Donald for the note series they at least brought cool features like the s pen. But remember the mega? Terrible and underpowered huge phone for the time.
I vividly remember being confused about why anyone would want such a huge phone and was completely uninterested in the note series when it first launched. I'm typing this on my Note 10+ lmfao

I just want to say this is by far my favorite review of this phone. It was very concise and I didn't find myself wanting to skip forward. Looking forward to your future reviews! Keep it up man!
Watching this on my note 10 plus in damn near 2020 and... gotta laugh... both Samsung and Marques have come along way in 7 years. Cheers mr brownlee . Keep up the great vids.
I just purchased this phone yesterday, and I'M SO HAPPY!!! With this device. Plus after viewing your review made me more convince that I made the right choice.
I had the Note 2, now I have the S20 since 2020 and I plan on getting the S23 Ultra or the Fold 5 later this year. It is incredible how the tech has improved over the last ten years, cant wait to see what it will be in another ten years. I also find it funny that the mobile browsing is quite different as well.

*Does put a smile on my face*
This was not recommended to me in 2024, I searched for it because this was my first big boy smartphone in 2012. So nostalgic.
your video style has not changed, love it
The way he says behemoth seems so funny considering phones in 2019
I remember this phone being unusable after a year because of lag
No i used a galaxy s2 untill 2016 and worked fine with games
You install too much junk.

I love how the size of the biggest phone back then is about the same screensize the "mini" phones have now 😭
I remember watching this video back in 2012 I wanted the Note 2 but I got the Galaxy S2 for Christmas that year because it was cheaper. The S2 was actually the first smartphone I ever owned. Honestly I wasn't picky, I was just happy to own a smartphone.
I just want to say this is by far my favorite review of this phone. It was very concise and I didn't find myself wanting to skip forward. Looking forward to your future reviews! Keep it up man!
Screens got larger as the hand's of MKBHD increases.
Watching this on my note 10 plus in damn near 2020 and... gotta laugh... both Samsung and Marques have come along way in 7 years. Cheers mr brownlee . Keep up the great vids.
Back when a 5.5" screen was considered "behemoth". Nowadays 6.0" seems to be the default screen size. 🤔
I just purchased this phone yesterday, and I'M SO HAPPY!!! With this device. Plus after viewing your review made me more convince that I made the right choice.
Hello man
Is that phone still alive?
It's literally been 10 years lol how's going
who's watching in 2019 because the RUclips recommendation?
Ah yes, relevant content, thanks RUclips!
I had the Note 2, now I have the S20 since 2020 and I plan on getting the S23 Ultra or the Fold 5 later this year. It is incredible how the tech has improved over the last ten years, cant wait to see what it will be in another ten years. I also find it funny that the mobile browsing is quite different as well.
