Actually, because of a problem in my Google profile, I had to <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.abrah.am\/2011\/12\/sync-is-currently-experiencing-problems.html\">disable Browser and Internet sync<\/a>, which caused the battery to run out over more like 10 hours. This isn&#8217;t a problem particular to the Galaxy Note II &#8211; it punished my <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Galaxy_Nexus\">Galaxy Nexus<\/a>, causing it to run out of juice sometimes by 3pm &#8211; but I know two friends who have this ginormous phablet and neither one has battery life issues &#8211; one actually got his phone to run for 2 days and still had 50% power left.<\/p>\n<p>On this note, it was also these guys that got me to consider the Galaxy Note II. If you haven&#8217;t seen someone use one, you might think it huge and unusable with its 5.5 inch screen &#8211; one person who saw it asked me if it was a phone or a laptop. But what happens when the phone lands in your hand is that you change the angle at which you&#8217;re holding it, and it feels natural and light. Finding a belt clip to hold it is an issue, but it easily fit in the pocket of my blazer like it had grown there.<\/p>\n<p>Highly recommended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Offered without further comment as a testament to the Galaxy Note II&#8216;s battery life. -the Centaur P.S.
