Galaxy Note: Phone or Tablet That Fits in Your Pocket?

Technology. There is so much of it. In reality, how likely is it to count the new number of gadgets that have hit the electronic shelves? Dozens. Maybe hundreds over the past few years. Some gadgets don’t make it to the masses and grow in popularity as quickly or even at all as compared to others. It’s obvious that companies such as Apple stay popular by name and reputation mixed in with gadgets that many users enjoy. Other makers may come out with hit and misses, but some companies are consistent with their new devices.

There has been a lot of hype and buzz surrounding the all-new Galaxy model. With the screen stretched to almost the full width of the phone, the thinness of the phone offers a powerful performance that will captivate the user with its abilities.

Screen
The Galaxy Note has one of the largest smartphone screens available with a 5.3” display and a thin body 9.65mm in thickness. The screen is also the world’s first HD Super AMOLED display available. This type of screen offers a higher precision in color in 1280 x 800.

Use the full screen ability for “fast and effective tasking.” The Note minimizes scrolling and transitions with the size of the screen and offers the S Planner as one of the tools to uncomplicate your scheduling process.

Normally with protection of the phone being as important as the phone itself, accessories are released at the same if not before. With the Note being the size that it is, having a screen bigger than the average smartphone, protection is definitely recommended from spills or falls.
