[@matfhju]

So this was 2012..... do you think you can revisit this with the new samsomg note ?

[@nadeemshaikh7863]

I mean yeah, Samsung Dex is pretty lit. It just needs Android devs work for proper support on their apps.

[@wheely90]

2017 we now have DEX!

[@FTTPRO]

could you imagine doing this now in 2015!

[@FTTPRO]

Windows Phone 950XL!

[@krzemian]

+Kevin Johnson Could you imagine doing this then when 2017 comes?!

[@FTTPRO]

krzemian it's now 2016 and the Microsoft 950 and 950XL run Windows 10 Desktop version. Now all we need is to be able to install 3rd party applications and programs.

[@MrMundo3d]

+Kevin Johnson 2020

[@FTTPRO]

***** Exactly, I can't wait for Android or even Apple to have a full desktop experience right from your phone on any monitor. It's just a matter of time. Technology is exploding, we'll see what hits the masses next. EDIT: Spelling

[@shimeih2287]

This guy has come so far. I salute the hard work and consistency 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@ColdFusion]

Easy on the caps! It's in the description under "Launcher" I now have 3 custom UI's on my channel. Go nuts!

[@atlien1988]

People have been looking and waiting for a PC running android. It's been here. And to think that people still are calling these things "gimmicks"

[@markmd695]

They are just gimmicks to the uninformed

[@atlien1988]

Mark Carder this is the Note 2, the Note 3 is much more powerful

[@ChloeJohnson]

Theres lots of computers and netbooks with android on, I don't understand how people can stand it though, I'd be more ok with it if it was more like the Ubuntu set up where when you plug the phone into a moniter and you add a keyboard and mouse you get a desktop GUI, because the phone GUI just isn't there, if google wanted the phone as desktop to be taken seriously they'd do more focus on the desktop side...

[@islander31]

Watching this in late 2015. Wow, the Note 2 was a great phone. It was one of my favorites. Great video.

[@stanimirgeorgiev8596]

+Hafa Adai Watching in early 2016. I am curious what this years hardware will be capable of ;)

[@islander31]

Stanimir Georgiev​ .it should be great. However, the main race now is software integration.....it seems. Phones connection to wearables, software aesthetics, Etc.

[@stanimirgeorgiev8596]

Hafa Adai I think that the main focus should be providing desktop functionality on mobile platforms.

[@islander31]

Stanimir Georgiev very good point. Apple is doing a great job with that.

[@stanimirgeorgiev8596]

Hafa Adai On iOS? How so? I haven't noticed such level of functionality on my ipod touch. Would you please clarify? Thanks in advance =D

[@superpunchguy9734]

Cant wait for ur "Note 4 Replaces the computer" video, wonder what ur gonna show youtube this time.

[@kobalov1]

nothing.... it works worse cause it has more pixels to power

[@lm6036]

+lightgorm wrong, the Note 4 is MUCH faster then the 2. it can easily do better then this.

[@kobalov1]

+Eternal Genesis eh i have it its glitchy af but note 5 is a monster though xd

[@lm6036]

lightgorm must be a default. My Note 4 has no problems at all!

[@ColdFusion]

Hey there! It's go launcher, the details are all laid out in the description.

[@dazeboy79]

2020 I'm late to this party... I really enjoy your videos and you have a great deal of information that most people do not know. I also have an engineering degree, are you still hiring? I will work for free...

[@remynisce33]

If only Ubuntu phone was made.. Sadly the kickstarter fund didn't reach the goal.

[@epender]

Ubuntu phone exists, doesn't it?

[@remynisce33]

Yeah but it's not the Ubuntu Edge phone.

[@liranpiade4499]

remynisce33 I could install Ubuntu on my phone if I wanted to.

[@drmanuchanu3648]

And that was allready possible in 2012!😳

[@federg.1963]

Can this be done with the N4 ? Could not find anything similar to this for any of the new models.

[@ColdFusion]

Sure can, I'll be doing a video on it once my Note 4 arrives.

[@federg.1963]

ColdfusTion Looking forward to it!

[@kobalov1]

Federico G. me to

[@MikkoHaavisto1]

ColdfusTion Nice!

[@setiarama1]

ColdfusTion can't wait to see it Dude..

[@ColdFusion]

A video on that is in the description (Last point of the FAQ)

[@Jdhogerty]

Excellent video! Great music, awesome editing, cool music selection, and above all, great demonstration of what the Galaxy Note 2 is capable of - and to think it fits in your pocket! (sort of) So far, best video demonstrating the capabilities of the GN2. Thanks for posting.

[@1karanhasija]

Came here from the latest m1 ARM chips video

[@chrismin13]

Nokia Lumia 950 and 950XL just did it!

[@chrismin13]

+saif shine Oh yeah! Lol, I totally forgot they are now named Microsoft Lumia. Dumb IMO. Nokia is much more recognizable!

[@nilsdendekker1300]

Super Mushroom Soup same

[@Stormhierta]

How about You do this for the Note3?

[@Stormhierta]

Thanks!

[@Stormhierta]

MyBluePlanet Even so, on a purely "interest" basis, it would be nice to see the differences, as well as variants on other modern phones. :)

[@ColdFusion]

In all humbleness, there's not really a need, the Transformer infinity is using a Tegra 3 processor which is STILL based on 40nm die process (which is what the Tegra 2 was based on) compared to the 32nm die process of the Exynos 4412. To cut a long story short, the Exynos 4412 is more efficient per clock cycle at the same clock speed. The Tegra 3 also uses single channel memory which is a real shame. I have a prime so I do have a bit of an idea of performance differences. Hope that helps dude!

[@HenryNwokobia]

Dagogo! It was your videos that made me a samsung fan! I have used the note 2 all the way to note 8!!! The only note I skipped was the note 7. couldn't get my hands on the note 7 or its fan edition comeback. I love your videos ! I dont know why you didnt do more note videos but thank you for blowing my world with all this information!

[@JohnPlissken]

smart phone, tablets, or even laptops will never replace a full pc for gaming or other power user functions. For casual users, sure. It would be nice to see Open Office released for Android.

[@Kevin-yh8ol]

Wanna bet on that?

[@JohnPlissken]

Sure. I will bet you 1 dank pepe meme.

[@JohnPlissken]

Angry Birds and Candy Crush do not count as gaming.

[@Kevin-yh8ol]

John Plissken awesome :) You just wait, give the industry 7 years and you'll be playing games better than battlefield 4 multiplayer on a 4K screen with high res from your own smartphone.

[@JohnPlissken]

Even if that is true, I would have the choice between Battlefield 4 on a 4k smartphone, or Battlefield 8 on a 16k multi-monitor display group.

[@jonathanloganmoran]

Loved this video, and Bear//Face at the end made it even better! Really made me appreciate owning an Android device.

[@IllusionaryWorlds]

An extremely fascinating glimpse of one possible computing future. My PC needs to go into the shop and I'm looking at picking up a Note 2 this weekend. The week without my PC may not drive me insane!!

[@perautomatik]

This is one of the best videos I've seen on youtube! Very well made and a joy to watch! Subscribe sequence completed!

[@quixgofar]

This video is very well done. THANKS A Million for the effort! Just bought the NOTE 2 as a Xmas gift for myself and I haven't looked back.... Been browsing around for info on how to tame this Beast of a Phone.. Thanks again! Cheers from NYC!!

[@LonestarViz]

Highly impressive phone and well done on a wonderful video. Clearly you put a lot of work into this and I am glad someone pushed the phone to it's limits while sharing it with the rest of us. I agree with perautomatik, this is one of the best vids I have seen on here in a while. Great job.

[@ColdFusion]

Well as I stated in the annotation at the beginning, if your computer was BROKEN you would have used a keyboard, mouse and monitor along with the defective tower correct?

[@TheArabianknight738]

with some many phone reviews on the web,i find yours to be the most spectacular !!

[@ColdFusion]

You can find it on ebay, just search for Samsung HDMI cable and it should come up. I'm doing a video on accessories pretty soon anyway.

[@MegaTitaniumMan]

Fantastic tutorial, I'll have to watch it a few times to take it all in. I really had no idea this phone is as capable as it is. Really amazing. Thanks. Mega.

[@nathanleon2895]

I'm still using my Note II. Replaced the screen three times from drops, and it still looks great and runs great.

[@tinysapy]

THANK YOU C.F! This video, shared on Facebook by a friend, convinced me back in december to buy THE Note 2! It's an amazing piece of technology!

[@piperthedj]

This is perfect. I have been putting off buying a new laptop for months and this gives me a perfect soluition. Thanks multiple times.

[@JAYneozeed]

Excellent vid. I had no idea the note 2 could do all of this. Sammy and android continue to impress

[@chriscampana89]

this is so dope, all of your videos are legit. i just bought the note 2 for sprint and am waiting for it to come. i will be using all of your videos to trick out my phone. YOUR AWESOME BRO!!!

[@LindaMcMurray]

Love this video. I've had my note II for a couple of months and have yet to push it to it's limits.

[@MrNAMIK-vu9gy]

I am from pandemic decade , I just want to tell you that this channel will grow into millions ❤️

[@dcoolsam]

Loved the video.... Something I always thought impossible and thought there was a gap between a PC and a mobile, you have bridged that today.... Bravo... Great work :)

[@busterscrugs]

I remember when I first got my Galaxy Note II back in 2012. Back then I thought it was incredible and phones couldn't possibly get any better. A quad-core CPU in a phone? Incredible! But now looking back at it compared to my 12 Pro Max, I realize it was actually a huge pile of crap. One thing I liked was that it didn't use the PenTile subpixel arrangement, which reduced screen door effect compared to previous OLED Samsung phones despite only being 720p. Battery life was good with a swappable 3100mAh battery. Other than that, the cameras sucked and the S-Pen was a total gimmick. TouchWiz was terrible. Also I noticed the watermark in the bottom left corner is misspelled as "ColdFustion" lol.

[@chsturgill]

This feature is one of the main reasons I gave up my iPhone for the Galaxy Note II. Although I have not been able to get a smart dock yet (because of back order) but I do have an order in for one as soon as they are available. I have an HD monitor I use via VGA from my laptop but I can't wait to use my NII as a second computer. I already use it way more than my iPad to surf the Internet and email, using the dock with my mouse and monitor will just be icing on the cake.

[@BlackOpsTurkiye]

Great Video! I also have Samgung Galaxy Note 2 and absolutely loving it so far but what you did here is amazinggg!

[@papayspeanut]

Very good job! Makes me want one and really shows how far mobile has come along. Excellent execution

[@84gcode]

I watch all the uploads as if they were split into seasons because there not short lol but its great that i found your page mind blowing and some.. I say to people im going to keep my note 2 for at least 5 years to you truly think the new phone in the next 5 years will be that more advance because i just can see that as far as the internal parts of the phone...

[@ColdFusion]

That is odd, I haven't are you using the smart dock? some people were having issues with that. Also, try using boat browser for KZbin.

[@darmancik]

I don't comment often on videos, but this one is AWESOME. Great job !!!

[@bluesirenx]

Great vid! Focused on the essentials and you have a nice easy style. Well-thought out. Hope to see more!

[@config2000]

Really top-drawer stuff. Presentation is up there with the best of them

[@65bucksmedia]

This is one of the most well done Tech videos I've seen. You have a new sub... I liked and shared the video to share the greatness with everyone else :) Keep up the great work!

[@TonyAllen1988]

Your homescreen/icon/theme setup is awesome.

[@CaptainDarren82]

I experimented with Android as a main computer replacement back in 2012, as well. I had a Droid XYboard 10.1" (still have it), complete with an HD dock with USB, HDMI, and even sound output, as well as charging. While this worked fine, it didn't have the speed I was looking for. Dual Core 1.2 GHz just doesn't cut it. With the new Google Now laucher, skype, and even chrome, the tablet crawls to a halt. I'm thinking of just rooting this and running 4.4/5.0, only the HDMI wouldn't work.

[@nyargalarga]

Neat demo, thanks! I used my Galaxy Nexus like a desktop PC a few times, but this looks a lot smoother and more practical with the floating apps and split-screen. Google needs to get multi-window support into stock Android ASAP. It would also be great to have HDMI out report a different DPI when it's used in "PC mode" like that so everything's not so big.

[@JHop03]

Wow, GREAT video. I can't say how glad I am that you did this. I just bought my note 2 today and am really happy I did. This proves everything I've been trying to explain to basically everyone I've been talking to in anticipation of my latest purchase. haha I can't wait to share this to probably everyone I know. Especially the iPhone fans. I hope to integrate the Note 2 onto every tv/monitor with wireless HDMI. We'll see how it goes!

[@TuPhonez4Free]

I shouldve know bout this when I had my iPad and my Galaxy Player 5.0 which looks like a Note II. lol Hey, I probably can do all this with my G Flex. lol. Im keeping it now. dang! Great video. It has my like and attention. Must share this asap!

[@DennisMathias]

Excellent production quality and lots of good info here. I'm still trying to decide between the Galaxy S3, the iPhone 5, and the Note 2.

[@srbontrager]

I went from a blackbery bold 9900 to this note II. So amazing. I idnt know I was missing out on so much til I switched

[@chaguanas212]

Its been a while. Love this channel since day 1 😊

[@parvpatil]

I think this is the only KZbin video I have ever seen, that required a snack break lol

[@66777jason]

Thanks so much dude. I watched this video really on the edge about this phone. After this, I knew there was no other device that would suit my needs this perfectly. I actually like the plastic build! Lol, but in all seriousness, thanks for this video

[@Rikishi1984]

Awesome video, would love to see how much has changed in the last few years since this video.

[@GirsomVelev]

With the 1080p screens coming this year will be even more great!

[@MacJones10]

This video is my 500th favorite, great video man.

[@gramprodigy]

Thanks for taking the time to make such an amazing video. I really enjoyed and appreciate your work. I will share your video with friends and family. Happy holidays!

[@Teamshmo]

I think that was a seriously great video. I have the HDMI out thing for my S3 and it's cool on the tv, but never thought about hooking it to a actual monitor and using it for a computer. Only thing is charging. You will not get that much time doing this. They need to have a second port or something so you can keep it plugged in and be able to hook up other usb peripherals

[@FreeCulture365]

You are a Genius...The Idea was incredible and the video make is super...Many many compliment guy! Good Luck from Rome!

[@elploppy]

Just watched the video - excellent work. I love my Galaxy Note 2. It's the best all round mobile phone out there. Don't be put off by its size - you soon adjust and the sheer scope of the device is breathtaking.

[@waynemarshall8641]

Great vid. This just makes me feel even better about choosing this Phablet. The adaptations are many.

[@mart4tkd]

Excellent vid. Really informative and unbiased. I have a GS3 and was thinking of swapping to the Note 2, this has sealed that decision. Thank you .

[@AnHeroics]

I love all of your videos. They're so relaxing.

[@gio048]

Hi, just found your videos. I must say they are very well done. You really are very knowledgeable about all the stuff you talk about. And I love the way you make the videos. Well you got another subscriber here.

[@bizmonkey007]

Amazing job man. The UI looks gorgeous on the monitor.

[@MysticRixel]

I remember how baffled I was when I saw this video years ago. This aged well, using Samsung Dex time to time on my S10+.

[@Smilesjones]

Excellent work. Very generous you really know your way around the gear

[@harryband50]

Appreciate the presentation and the effort put into it - will share with my operations team

[@HermesMatamoros]

Great video, and as matter of fact, I used another of your videos to customize the UI....great work there...thank you!!

[@jannorasmus]

Awesome video, I really liked it. Amazing how far has the smartphones come away. Amaazing

[@adityavikramok]

Couldn't share it but this guy totally nailed it!

[@khjpatel]

This video showed me things I had no idea my phone could do. Thanks mate!

[@pg3589]

thanks!!! this video made me decide to go for the Note 2... now I'm a happy user of such an incredible device... keep up the good work!!! cheers!!!

[@Koohiisan]

Thanks for your hard work in this production! The GN2 really is pretty amazing!

[@HipHopWrestlingFanatic860]

the fact that and can play 4 flash videos at the same time is amazing !

[@Dms12444]

You have to keep in mind that even old technologies remain around. Mainframes are still commonly employed, for example, despite years of people saying they were completely dead. The high-end market is contracting, yes. Most people don't need high end machines for all their work, but the 'high-end' market of tomorrow will always need the power of mobile technology scaled up to a larger form. Desktops/Laptops won't die, they'll just become a smaller niche segment of the larger computer market.

[@NeaLSeN]

This is the best review of a device i have seen so far! You should definitely make some more. Please make one where you compare Samsung Galaxy Note II and Asus Transformer Infinity as both have the same processor speed.

[@MrSpicytacosauce]

Love this guy.. specially his transition artwork!

[@felix95vs]

Man the way u do videos is out of this world

[@Jeffmorgan1991]

As someone who uses about 20 tabs at a time along with other programs (downloading, VPN, steam, programming applications, dropbox, etc) I don't think I'm quite ready for this but maybe a few years

[@SignalChange]

This is a pretty amazing video, thanks for sharing your setup - I'm really impressed at how far android has come

[@nofantasyman]

Thanks. Great. Easy to follow. Presentation doesn't lag like some do. Good pace.

[@catalinpetrescu8488]

If you use the tablet as the display you can have the same experience of using that phone alone, but on a bigger screen. I am actually using a keyboard for my daily use of the tablet when I am at college and I do not use it for typing alone (commands such as Alt-Tab work either). I was looking for an app that would allow your phone to be used as a track pad for my Android tablet, but the only thing I found needs rooting.

[@dmsysu]

wow, you really did an amazing job! i love you video! i got a gs3, now i wish i can get a galaxy note 2, that's really amazing.

[@MieMohd]

I was excite with my old Dell Axim x50v devices; a Windows Mobile with VGA out, but that was somewhere 7 years ago but Im enjoy more in this video as Im now also love Android, u got quite professional cool reviews, good job

[@toyz923]

Great Video, i am in the process of purchasing a Note II, this video only makes me want to jump ahead and buy one right away :)

[@cwillison94]

Excellent video, very well laid out and thought out

[@Imadeyourun]

Awesome video dude, I'll be looking forward to future one to comes!

[@foozeballplaya24]

That was incredible man! Keep up the good videos. Definitely makes me want a note 2 now! Did you have it unlocked? What carrier were you using it for?

[@jliu919]

Name is a bit deceiving, but the description made me a bit happier. I was hoping that the output would be 1080p, I'd be very impressed then.

[@kamalhatimEltayeb]

I actually was thinking that this video was made by Samsung, you should charge them money cuz this videos is very well presented and it shows the really capabilities of a great hardware combined with the great software.

[@jiandanful]

ummm,I was about to write "whooo I can't wait for the note 3 to be out" but ummm a Actually cant wait for your next video to come out!! i especially love two things among others: your way to make a presentation of a device in its fullest; and the music tracks that come along with it.Am subscribing and sharing of course! great job from an Ivoirian (west africa) girl tech lover!

[@Egoanvita]

Thanx for all the great videos!!! I'd really love to see you do an updated video with Note 3. got myself a note 3 here but need some guidance to start buying all the bluetooth gadgets and cables.

[@Deo721]

😂 This aged well... You should see today's Samsung Dex (Desktop Mode) on any galaxy phone.

[@psnKnowledge]

This is actually quite applicable if you have a laptop/desktop monitor and just want to use your phone like this when your at your desk. On a side note, NOTE 4 in 11DAYS!! Didn't like the GS5 so much, but still lookin forward.
