The device is contained in the box with a charger head, USB cable, user guide, and obviously no earpiece as you can see.

Design

Atop the phone is the earphone jack and on the surface is the internal earphones and front facing camera

Underneath is the charging port and USB jack with the mouth piece for making calls

To the right hand side is the volume buttons at the top and power button right below it.

The 13MP shooter is protruding from the back with a spot on flash.

Then there's the non-removable battery at the back with the dual sim ports flanking the phone after  the camera and the memory card slot.

First Impressions

6 inches is a lot of screen to have and the Note 2 is sure one gutsy device to sport so large a screen. It looks like a dumbbell at first glance, but feels surprisingly light weight. The design is rounded and smooth making the phone an easy carry on device.

Pricing

The Note 2 is retailing on Jumia  for ₦30,5000 and for all these specs packed under the hood, it is a good buy.

Over the next few days, I will put this mobile device under the lens and make a thorough review out off it. Keep your fingers crossed.
