If you agree it struggles in low light, then it isn't "on par."
And a majority of "power users" hate touch wiz. I agree with them. It's bloated and unresponsive. The only reason this phone is great is because it has powerful hardware compensating.
The S pen is the best thing about the Note. Take it away and you get a better experience from an HTC or stock Google phone. A health is dull, kids mode is basic. All flash and no substance.
