The Samsung Galaxy Note is a unique device for several reasons. This is because it somewhat bridges the gap between smartphone and tablet with its 5.3-inch touchscreen. This makes it larger than most smartphones and smaller than most tablets. Whichever category you want to place it in, one thing is for sure; this is a very impressive device. In this article, I’ll take a look at some of the features that illustrate the cutting-edge technology found in the Samsung Galaxy Note.
screen
In my opinion, this is the best feature of the phone. The screen of the Samsung Galaxy Note measures 5.3 inches, but somehow it has a resolution of 800x 1280 that even exceeds the resolution of the retina display of the iPhone 4S, which is housed in a much smaller screen. The benefits of a high resolution display are numerous. You can expect fantastic viewing quality for everything from movies and YouTube videos, games, photos, and web pages. The screen is responsive thanks to a powerful processor and even supports stylus input that can be used with the screen’s handwriting recognition.
Processor
The Samsung Galaxy Note’s processor is a 1.4GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 chip. This makes it one of the most powerful mobile devices available today, behind the HTC Sensation XE and Sony Xperia S, both with 1.5GHz dual-core processors. The benefits of a capable processor in a mobile device are numerous; expect a responsive touch screen, super-fast app and web page load times, and the ability to run multiple apps simultaneously without compromising performance.
The Samsung Galaxy Note currently runs the Gingerbread version of the Android operating system (with an update to Ice Cream Sandwich when available), which of course allows users to access the Android Market. This works similar to Apple’s well-known AppStore, where users can browse various categories or search for specific titles and download apps that can significantly increase the functionality of the phone, taking advantage of the hardware on offer.
The camera is another impressive feature of the phone, the quality of which goes beyond many competing devices. At 8 megapixels, the camera produces very high-quality results, while remaining easy to use thanks to the standard package of features including autofocus, image stabilization, LED flash, touch focus, and geotagging. If you love photography, there are few better options available. Of course, the camera can also capture video footage, with various settings included, the highest of which is 1080p, which is full high definition.
As you can see, the Samsung Galaxy Note offers many high-end features. Its powerful processor ensures that it can handle any task with ease, while its large touchscreen will prove useful to everyone from business users to multimedia enthusiasts.
The functionality of a tablet with the portability of a smartphone has made the Samsung Galaxy Note popular in a short time, with recently announced 1 million sales.
