Samsung Galaxy Note….a phone or tablet??



This is a common question people always ask in regards to the Samsung Galaxy Note. Just last week, we purchased this phone for my sister as a present. The question that is being as, will this work as a phone or as a tablet? Who in the right mind will place such a huge phone on their face while talking and walking around town….Well that is a question that we need to ask the 2 million consumers around the world that have purchased since it first launched in October.

So is this a phone or a tablet or something just phabletious…Galaxy Note seems to be a hybrid of both world. The Samsung Note comes with an interesting specification that matches the Samsung Galaxy S2.

Samsung GALAXY Note Specifications:


  • Form factor: phone/tablet crossbreed

  • Dimensions: 146.9 x 83 x 9.7 mm

  • Weight: 178g

  • Display: 5.3" WXGA HD Super AMOLED (1280 x 800, 285 PPI) screen

  • OS: Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, TouchWiz UI

  • Chipset: 1.4 GHz dual-core Cortex-A9 CPU, Mali-400MP GPU, 1GB of RAM,

  • Camera: 8 MP autofocus camera with LED flash in the rear to capture stunning 1080 HD images and a  2 MP front-facing camera.

  • Memory: 16/32 GB internal memory, expandable via a microSD card slot

  • Connectivity: quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and quad-band (850/900/1900/2100 MHz) UMTS with 21 Mbps HSDPA and 5.76 Mbps HSUPA support, dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Wi-Fi direct, Assisted GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, 2.0 microUSB connector

The features that draws most of the consumer to the phone would be their wide screen and also the ability for the users to use a stylus to write and also to draw stunning images on its Super AMOLED screen.

Most of the service providers have jumped on phabletious hype to provide several different packages to suit everyone’s need. The retail price for the mobile phone is at RM2299. But so far the deal from DiGi for the plan seems to be quite reasonable to me compared to the other service providers.

But what ever it is, the phone is indeed a stunning and interesting toy to play with…next to a tablet.
