Samsung Galaxy Note Review with Photos

Samsung Galaxy Note Review – Samsung have produced many quality smart phones and tablets, but the new Samsung Galaxy Note is something a little bit different so I thought I would write a Samsung Galaxy Note Review. It is what I would best describe as a hybrid version of a smartphone 

It is neither a smartphone nor a tablet and sits right in the middle of these two devices. The Samsung Galaxy Note uses Android technology, feels light to hold, and has a 5.3” screen size. It is worth stressing that it is very light to hold and weighs much less than a standard tablet. On first look the screen is bright and very easy to see.

It is also thin with an 8 Mp camera on the back and a 2 Mp camera on the front which is great for Video Chat. It also comes with its own stylus Which they call an S-Pen.. It probably seems strange that Samsung have introduced the stylus again, but it works well and is accurate to work with. It is perfect for those who like a big screen and with the stylus feature it makes taking notes, writing shopping lists etc a very easy thing to do.

This Samsung Galaxy Note Review represents all the good features that Samsung does very well. The 8 Mega pixel camera takes great pictures and it can also shoot 1080p video, which by any standard for a smartphone is highly impressive.

It also comes with a powerful 1.4 GHz dual-core processor (Now a 1.5 GHz chipset in the  U.S. release) We understand that in the near future Samsung may be releasing the Note with ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich). But with Android 2.3 Gingerbread behind you; it makes the Samsung Galaxy Note ideal for gamers and those of us to like to watch good quality video. I have tested this feature a lot and it is fast and impressive for quality.

Belonging to the Android family, you do of course get access to the many Android applications that are available and grow by the day. That in itself makes the Samsung Galaxy Note worth a serious look, as you will see in this
