Galaxy Note Evaluation

The Galaxy Note? It won't fit in a pocket or your hand, the two places you're going to want to put your phone. For some reason, five million people  don't seem to care. Five million people purchased this distended LED baking sheet not caring that it's too big to use well. For them, more is more. For them, a screen that's too big is like something from a Mountain Dew commercial; it's just awesome! The Note is a big, neon top hat of a handset—look at me and my giant phone, everyone. Look at how big it is. A shiny bauble. I can't wait to go home and look at my big phone.

Samsung's Galaxy Note is an excellent smartphone. It's fast, fluid, and runs the best apps perfectly. Whether the ginormous size is right for you is your call, but some features like handwriting to text are a clear miss, and the battery is terribly short, especially on LTE. If the Note had a stronger battery I'd recommend tablet owners who use the larger device mostly for media to switch to the smaller, more convenient form factor. The Galaxy Note is exclusive to AT&T in the US and available for $300 with a two-year contract.

Galaxy Note is underpinned by a dual-core 1.4 GHz Exynos ARM Cortex A9 chipset, helped by Mali-400MP GPU. The phablet sports a front-facing 2 megapixel camera for video calls, while the primary 8 megapixel camera mounted on the back of the polymer case comes with autofocus, LED flash and supports full HD 1080p video recording. The handheld comes with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth, microUSB and 3.5 mm audio jack, all these powered by a 2,500 mAh Li-Ion battery. Galaxy Note has the massive 5.3inch screen and the ever useful S-Pen going for it.
