Interesting new Samsung superphone.

[Chris Primadona]

Just spotted this...

"Samsung has done it again. They’ve unveiled a new Android powered superphone that has the potential to change the future landscape of mobile phones. Most thought Samsung had outdone themselves earlier this year when they announced the Samsung Galaxy S II, but the new Samsung Galaxy Note pushed the boundaries even further. The new flagship phone from Samsung features a 5.3-inch 1280 x 800 Super AMOLED display, a 1.4 GHz Exynos processor, 8 and 2 megapixel rear and front facing cameras, support for HSPA+ and LTE networks and 2500 mAh battery while only measuring 9.65mm in thickness."

It comes with a stylus. It is a dead duck!

"I think this phone was made for Shaq"

Oi. my SE W960i had one of those pointy things and was amazing at the time!

I kinda like the idea of someting between my phone and a tablet tbh.

Something has to fill the gap between the Streak and the next Streak!

 

[DuncanDisorderly]

LOL - a phone with a higher screen resolution that the iPad 2
Wonder if it fixes the other iPad weaknesses without calling itself a tablet

I actually quite like the look of this, I've been looking at getting a new phone and a tablet but I reckon an almost 6" screen would do for what I want a tablet for which is really just browsing and showing off photos

It's too big to be called a phone if you ask me. Not a chance in hell would I keep that in my pocket on a daily basis!

I'm finding my 4.3" HTC Sensation a slight pain after coming from a sliding SE W995 which had like a 2" screen

My iPhone 4 is literally the biggest and heaviest I'd want to go for something to take with me everywhere!

 

[Chris Primadona]

I could live with the size, I usually keep my phones in my jacket pocket anyway since a bad experience with a cracked screen due to sitting down to fast!

I'm looking forward to checking this out.

Did you have it in a back pocket? If so that is asking for trouble! If it was in a front, however, that sounds mighty unfortunate!

Too big, it will look ridiculous talking into that thing, and holding it to your head for an extended period of time can't be comfortable surely.

I'm keen to see what the Google Nexus Prime will be like - also made by Samsung. I think that will be THE phone of the year 2011...

what the hell?

you need something between a phone and a tablet?

thats what i was thinking to be honest.. between my HTC and my iPad i cant see a gap for another device.

 

[WillW]

Next new marketing gap is the halfway between halfway between a phone and a tablet.

That's the phablet .

 

[Carter64]

That's the phablet .

If that's not already trademarked, I'd do it

 

[scottthehat]

i like the styles idea as its saves grubby fingers all over the screen.

Samsung TAblet Mobile PhONe also known as.. the Tampon

are you still stuck in the noughties!!

 

[Carbonangel]

Its not marketed as a phone, as by the name the Samsung "Note" its more a tablet/notepad aimed at enterprise users

It was in the front pocket

I mean, I would rather have that one device rather than a phone AND a tablet

but then it would be a phone that was too big and a tablet that wasn't big enough :shrug:

 

[Chris Primadona]

I think it looks to be a good size for me (would fit into my inside jacket pocket no probs). That and a proper sized laptop would do me for my portable gadget goodies!

Agreed, looks like a decent option. Not sure about the stylus but I do use an app for writing notes when I'm on site which isn't that good on a touchscreen using your finger so I can see benefits.

Which? takes a look - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE6rsJvORko

 

[Chris Primadona]

Reviews look great. It's not as big as I thought either.

 

[MisterE]

That stylus and function is like the one with my HTC Flyer. I can see a patent battle looming.
