Coming in at hefty 5.3-inches of length, the Galaxy Note attempts to blur the line between phones and tablets. A relatively surprising addition is the now out-of-fashion stowaway stylus, which can be used for several tasks such as taking notes, drawing and so on. The phone comes pre-loaded with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The UI is layered with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI on top, which offers an all new ‘S-Pen’ interface, designed specifically by Samsung to put that good ‘olstylus to best use.
Beneath the pretty interface, a dual-core 1.4 GHz processor beats at the heart of the phone. Developed in-house by Samsung itself, this is the same processor that will power its Galaxy Tab 7.7 tablet. The huge screen boasts of a WVGA Super AMOLED display, while two cameras – 8 megapixels at the back and 2 megapixels at the front – carry out your snapping, recording and video chatting duties admirably.
Despite its colossal length, the device is surprisingly easy to handle, thanks mainly to its 9.65mm width and a surprisingly low 178 grams of weight.
