There came smartphones eating the computer’s space , then there were tablets crunching the laptop’s space too. Now what the hell is a NOTE ?
Now this thing from samsung looks like an integration of a smartphone and a tablet. If you think it’s a smartphone , then its 5.3 inches on hand and is quiet large. And if you feel its a tablet , then at the same 5.3 inches its too small to imagine. May be this is made to bridge the gap between both the phone and a tablet.
(( Something like a dashhound and doberman crossbreed. I wouldn’t consider Great Dane ))
This device reminds me of those days when touchcreens had to be operated using a stylus. This galaxy note has a good capacitive touch , though there is a stylus for it. The company wants to target the busy business crowd who are usually at the management level who keep giving presentations and reports even when there are at different places and hence making the shitty presentations good.
But I still wonder why this note is created when there are already so many smartphones and tablets. Is samsung crazy? Lets have a look at all the key features and decide it.
model name: Samsung Galaxy Note aka Samsung GT-N7000, Samsung I9220
Bold and elegant
This has almost all the features of a smatphone and also goes till supporting the 4G LTE network. But 4G ? How many of the countries have rolled out 4G? May be let us consider it for the future.
Other key features includes Bluetooth 3.0 which supports faster data transfer, an 8mp camera with 1080px HD video for amazingly clear pics and HD videos is like watching on a HDTV. The best part is the super-AMOLED screen which is till date the best display ever used. Super-AMOLED techonlogy was created by Samsung which shows very sharp images and brilliant colors. Its my personal experience , and the super-AMOLED screens are rich in colors. No other kind of display can be better.
It is one of those latest breed of phones with dual core processors clocking upto 1.4GHz
Some websites still claim that NFC is available with the device but still not sure it works.
With 1GB of RAM (as much as my desktop’s) , i think it should run any kind of app smoothly without any glitchess.
And obviously it runs on the Android Operating giving you access to millions of free apps. Right now it runs on Gingerbread 2.3.5 and is doubtfull of getting an ICS update just like other as you know samsung guys are little lazy.
Having a 2500mAh battery , it surely gives you better battery back up for hours and hours of heavy use.
My hands on experience was great as it was fast and smooth. It really worked upto my expectations.
But at 5.3 inches this large peice and 178g is pretty big and heavy on hands. Best suited for those large hands.
Reasons to go for it:
1. If you have lots of presentations and office work to be completed(and if your boss is a dick).
2. To use it with 4G network for faster internet access (may be in future if 4G rolls out in INDIA)
3. NFC – Near Feild Communication for paper less transactions
4. Better battery life, RAM and memory
5. Need for a good display that works well even under bright sunlight.
6. 8MP camera with 1080 HD video playback. If you are one of those hobby photographers who like clicking all the time.(yea even if you are a facebook poser to simply upload pics like a professional photographer)
