Well technically both the phones are same on the inside.
Samsung Galaxy Note – Dual Core 1.4 Ghz ARM Cortex A9 processor - Exynos
Samsung Galaxy S II – Dual core 1.2 Ghz ARM Cortex A9 processor - Exynos
Both the phone gets graphical acceleration through the Mali 400 MP GPU.
The difference is the screen size.
Samsung Galaxy Note – 5.3 inches Super AMOLED Capacitive touchscreen display
Samsung Galaxy S II – 4.3 inches Super AMOLED Capacitive touchscreen display
The Samsung Galaxy S II is powered with Li-ion 1650 mAh battery while Note is powered with standard Li-ion 2500 mAh battery.
So make you choice if you want and can be comfortable with the large screen size to handle.
Personally i love the screen and size of it
Edit: And yeah you have the stylus and the higher resolution (HD) screen apart from the size.
Cheers!
Hit thanks if it helped!
You forgot that the Note has a beautiful HD screen, while the gs2 is slightly above VGA. The note also has a stylus, which is super useful when you need it. But the screen is so superior you just have to get the Note.

I moved from S2 to a Note, and I'm really glad I did - mainly because of the fantastic screen, which makes it much nicer to do any kind of writing based work. Was out last night and a girl with an S2 said, "I WANT YOUR PHONE!" Lol.

Report says that Samsung won't use Snapdragon 810 in Galaxy S6, overheating issues to blame
By Harish Jonnalagadda | Jan 21 2015 | 4:25 am | 12 Comments
Samsung
Over the last few years, Samsung has stuck to a release model for its flagships that sees the inclusion of Qualcomm chips for LTE markets, and Exynos-based variants in South Korea and emerging markets. That may change with the Galaxy S6, as a report out of Bloomberg states that Samsung won't offer a Snapdragon 810 variant of the Galaxy S6 on grounds of overheating issues.
Citing people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg says that Qualcomm's eight-core Snapdragon 810 "overheated during the Korean company's testing," with Samsung finally deciding not to use it altogether. Samsung will instead launch the Galaxy S6 with an in-house Exynos SoC. The South Korean manufacturer has been making huge strides in the field of application processors, with the latest version featuring an integrated LTE modem.
Samsung isn't far off in terms of processing power when seen against Qualcomm's offerings, but the vendor, along with everyone else in the segment including MediaTek, Intel and Nvidia, are miles behind Qualcomm when it comes to LTE modems. For instance, Qualcomm announced that it will offer the Snapdragon 810 with an LTE Category 9 modem that can attain download speeds of up to 450 Mbit/sec.
If Samsung is indeed looking to boycott the Snapdragon 810, it may be in the minority, as LG's G Flex 2 has Qualcomm's eight-core SoC, and HTC's upcoming One M9 is also expected to feature Qualcomm's latest.

If Samsung skips it due to overheating issues should we be concerned about flagship devices using it?

Why should they do that when they have been using Qualcomm for past many years? It's a business, not fight among kids where you need to give a useless logic. If Samsung just wanted to use Exynos, they would simply do so without even talking about Qualcomm. There is no logic to giving any sort of explanation.

Right. It's a business. And using their own in house chip is cheaper. This is a smoke screen.

The Exynos 7 is so powerful it may have the 810 trumped. I wish the SD 805 had issues that forced Samsung to go with only the Exynos 5433 on the note 4, lol. Exynos is now top of the line. The days of the octa 5420 (which is still very powerful) are over. The cat 9 of the 810 is impressive though

Well it's all rumours until the phone actually shows up, personally don't mind either one, as both the Snapdragon and Exynos (which one though?) seem to be beasts.
But some modders might not like the Exynos

LOL AC "editors" don't ask any "questions" that might prove difficult for manufacturers or Google. They simply report the fluff presented to them.

@harish Jonnalagadda, why are you mentioning Cat 9 modem as it is of much importance here? Samsung already is planning for in-house Cat 10 modem, so why suddenly Cat 9 be of any importance. Forget Cat 9/10, how many regions can actually exceed Cat 6??

Bit of a worry really, as if it is a problem with the 810 chip itself, the other vendors will have issues. On the other hand, if it is simply the design of the S6 that is to blame for the issues then Sammy are not doing such a great job.
Either way, I'm glad I'll be skipping this years offerings, hopefully 2016 will have stable CPU choices, 2K with no lag and type C USB

If the overheating issues are a fact, then Samsung would have an edge if they designed a mean SoC. Especially if their competitors are going for the 810.
I've also been missing the Wolfson DAC, since the Exynos version is impossible to find unless I'm looking abroad. Would be nice to have that opportunity.
With all the reported issues in the 810, I'd avoid any phone based on it, and wait for one based on the 820.
It would be better if Samsung stuck to one CPU per Galaxy model though, IMO, I remember the Note 2 being Exynos globally, if I'm not mistaken?

That's correct, the Note 2 was quite strange in that it was only Exynos which I was sure was an error since most other Samsung devices used Qualcomm in the US and some other territories but it does seem to be the case.

As I've said before, the 810 turns out to be a bad chip.

That's correct, there were variants with different radio support but they all used the Samsung Exynos platform rather than Snapdragon. I initially assumed a friend in the US was wrong when he said his US Note 2 was Exynos but when I read up on it I couldn't find any variants using a Snapdragon platform.

Hm, I didn't know! Usually, we get the SD where I live. Our S3 was Exynos. I stand corrected.
snapdragons this generation and the next suck so im happy they decided to ditch it for the s6. maybe we will get a 64 bit kernel for our note 4s finally if they go all in on exy 7s for the s6.
They should put a heatsink fan on s805

Personally, i give a damn on what processor the Note 5 will use (as that will be my next phone or maybe the Note 6). Because what matters to me is that the CPU and ofc the GPU gives me good performance and as long as i can root and install a good custom ROM on the Note without any hassles or problems, then i will be all happy.
I know there are more support for the Snapdragon CPU's when it comes to custom ROM's, but i do believe it's alright for the Exynos version to if i'm not wrong here?

Nope. This is why "Exynos abuse" was easiest way to root Note 2.

Agree. I tried out Note 4 with SD at Best Buy and decided to go with Exynos version. The lags and stutters on SD version are too obvious. Also not happy with audio/music quality on SD DAC.

You mean you don't give a damn? Anyway, CPU performance is hardly a problem these days. A lot more of it is in software optimization. The support for the SD SoCs is a lot bigger, since it's everywhere. More closed source SoCs, like the Exynos, are only to be found in Samsung's phones. It's harder to develop a proper CM for it due to closed source libs, but some of the most skilled developers in here are still doing some amazing work.

Personally, I think Samsung should go for the Exynos, as Qualcomm has hardly any competition. With Samsung being one of the biggest manufacturers, I think it can make a huge difference. If Samsung is just consistent, using only the Exynoses in their flagships at least.
Exynos Note 4 users can expect a increase in Android development if the chip used in the S6 is similar enough =)

THIS is my problem with the new Galaxy Watch 3.
I don't really feel that there is anything new on this "new" galaxy watch 3. basically, the CPU, Clock speed, GPU, everything is the same. However, it has a newer version of the Tizen OS and bit more RAM, but that doesn't really give me anything new on this watch.
What do you guys think?

As they not change Screen Resolution.. still tiny 360 x 360 Pixel... correct me...
So it makes maybe not really sense to put new faster CPU inside this tiny Watch...
GW3 is IMHO first Watch from Samsung with 8 GB eMMC...
No idea if for everyone usefull... but hey. Bigger Storage.
I can remember they told on Unpack event...
Watch Faces great Watch Faces...
And for Watch Faces this CPU is fast enough...
Maybe if more and better apps are allowed on Store...

New TI chip / light sensors.
What benefit would there be in upgrading the chipset? It would only raise the cost of this already expensive watch. It's Tizen, it's a smartwatch, it doesn't need improvement in that area.
The differences lay in a better screen, slimmer lighter design, more storage and new health sensors. If these aren't important to you then stick with what you have, but don't reject it just because they haven't upgraded something that has no benefit to the watch performance.
.
The difference with the Watch3 is in sensors, weight, size. It now can measure O2, blood pressure (future), EKG and do more complete sleep monitoring, as well as exercise monitoring and analysis. Yes it has the same processor and 25% less battery.

Thanks for the feedback. Actually I recently shifted over to Android and I don't have. smart watch yet. Im looking for one. Apple usually upgrade their chipset so I was only assuming that other vendors might do the same.
