Quick Review: Samsung Galaxy Note Jelly Bean Upgrade

I finally has my Samsung Galaxy Note repaired. The cost was around $160. Samsung Service Center replaced a whole power board to repair it. Plus, they gave me the Jelly Bean android in return.

The Jelly Bean upgrades on SGNote :
- Multi Windows
- SmartStay
- Upgraded UI
- New AllShare
- Retirement of S Memo
- S Pen integrated S Planner
- Upgraded S Note
- Editable Multi Windows tray
- Favorite Apps widget
- Active Lock Screen
- New looks on lock screen and home screen
- Better folder management
- New and closer to vanilla android apptray

All in all, it looks like the new upgrade puts SGNote nearer to SGNote 2, but without the Quad-core capacity.

The bad news:
- Heavy operational
- Beware the RAM, almost always in the red zone
- Strangely enough better battery economy if multi windows are turned off
- Slower response on all the new features

If you enjoy the responsiveness of the original SGNote in ICS, better avoid this upgrade. If note, the upgrade is one worthy taken despite the slower processing.
