Samsung Galaxy Note review
A smartphone with a larger screen has been present. SamsungGalaxyNote comes with a large screen size is different from other vendors are trying to shrink the device to more easily fit in a pocket. Not only has the big screen SamsungGalaxyNote also offers other interesting features, let's see.
Exterior, Control, and DisplaySamsungGalaxyNote
offers a big screen with a length of 82.95m and width of 146.85mm. For screen size, screen size SamsungGalaxyNote have almost two times larger than the iPhone screen 4S. Thickness of only 9.65mm does not differ much from the Samsung Galaxy S II. And the device weighs 178 grams.
We tried to hold SamsungGalaxyNote with one hand while the other type on your PC, and does not feel sore on the wrist for holding it for 10 minutes.
Below the screen there are three ranks of the Galaxy that is typical of the Menu button, Home, and Back (left to right). Upper right side there is a lock button and volume buttons on the left top. While the S-Pen device hidden on the bottom right of this, right on the bottom right of the back.
With its large screen and has a high resolution, SamsungGalaxyNote offers 5.3-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. SamsungGalaxyNote use HD Super AMOLED screen technology.
This technology gives the appearance of a very good picture quality and also the screen is wide screen provides added value.
On the use, wide screen display offers easier use and more accurate. SamsungGalaxyNote provides a keyboard on screen with the large size of the keys, giving kenyamana when typing messages, emails, and more.
And certainly with a large size, difficult SamsungGalaxyNote to gain entrance into the pocket. Although entry into the pocket will be very stiff. And also the position of S Pen may be a bit annoying, when you run an application and want to use S Pen, may inadvertently pressing the thumb back. It's good if you want to revoke the S Pen should lock the screen first.
Software, Applications and Games
SamsungGalaxyNote comes with the Android OS 2.3.5 Gingerbread, but Samsung promises Android 4.0 update will provide ICS for this device.
Not too many new applications are offered on Android 2.3.5, but at least the Gmail application has been optimized to perform better on the Samsung Galaxy Note.
With no S Pen offers several conveniences such as, to take a screenshot you can press the S button and then tap Pen twice on the screen using the S Pen. S-Memo that allows you to write a memo. You can add a Google Map on the memo that you create.
There are S-Planner to create a specific timeline for the schedule on weekdays and holidays. S-Planner is also possible to use the S-Memo you created and make it as a reminder.
And also S-Social Hub, an application that connects your Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn in your SamsungGalaxyNote. Which means that any update on these social networks, you can directly see it through the S-Social Hub. You can also upload a photo to your social networking accounts through S-Social Hub.
And the last S-Polaris Office, such as Microsoft Office in a mini version, you can view Microsoft Office documents and files could be to edit it.

SamsungGalaxyNote main camera is equipped with the ability to record 1080p HD video, and keep it available for 16/32GB internal memory capacity, and there is also a microSD slot up to 32GB
For sound quality fairly good, the speakers are located on the back. So if you're listening to music do not put them in a closed position of speaker.
Just like a tablet, it will feel weird if you make phone calls using this device. So you should use a bluetooth headset to make calls.
