With Christmas just around the corner, several new smartphones are hitting the shelves. Among them is the Samsung Galaxy Note, a smartphone which stands out for a number of reasons.
First, the concept and the form factor of this device is somewhere between a smartphone and tablet. With a high resolution touchscreen measuring 5.3 inches, it is seemingly too big to be classed as a smartphone, but too small to be a tablet. Whatever you think, it is sure to receive a warm welcome, as many will find a new level of convenience with this device, from a perspective of functionality and portability.

The Galaxy Note really lends itself to the business professional (or student for that matter) that is looking for a productivity device for the workplace; it is more powerful than a conventional smartphone, but more mobile than a standard tablet, which typically measure 7 to 10 inches.
The screen on the Samsung Galaxy Note has a resolution of 800x 1280. To put this into perspective, the iPhone 4S has a screen resolution of 640x 960, and until recently was the title holder when it came to screen resolution. The fact that the Samsung Galaxy Note has such a large screen makes its resolution all the more impressive, as images retain their quality despite being on a large screen. The resolution also means that multimedia use is also a strong point of the device. To increase the productivity and potential uses of the handset, there is a stylus pen included, which is sure to prove handy to many different types of user.
Storage is an important issue for users of smartphones and tablets, and the Samsung Galaxy Note has even the most demanding consumer covered in this department. With 16GB and 32GB models available, there is plenty of storage available right out of the box. But with the inclusion of a microSD slot, a memory card of up to 32GB can be installed, essentially doubling the storage capacity almost instantly.
At 8 megapixels, the built in camera is certainly up to the task whether it is taking high quality still images, or shooting high definition videos in 1808p full HD. The camera comes with several image enhancing features as standard, including image stabilisation, touch focus, face & smile detection and LED flash. There is a secondary camera located on the front of the handset and this can be used for taking self portrait images or for video calling. The Samsung Galaxy Note is equally at home browsing the internet, whereby Wi-Fi and 3G coverage provides fast data download speeds. At the heart of the device is its powerful 1.4 GHz dual-core processor, which provides outstanding performance in several aspects of the phones functions.
The Samsung Galaxy Note makes an ideal smartphone for many types of user. Thanks to its power and versatility, you can expect to see a lot more of the Samsung galaxy Note in the near future.
