"In terms of all- around performance," ITProPortal.com reported that Samsung's Note 2 "may just shade a win over the iPhone, even if Apple has produced an unsurprising capable new model."

The Note 2 is confirmed to be bigger in size that the new iPhone, however, that might make it more suitable for watching films and the pen that comes with the device might make it easier for users. In exact dimensions, the iPhone 5 screen comes in at 4 inches, while the Note 2 is 5.5 inches. However, both phones are slimmer than their previous counterparts, making it easier to grasp in one hand and fit in a pocket.
