Samsung Galaxy Note Hands-On

Samsung's Galaxy Note has a 5.3-inch Super AMOLED screen, a dual-core processor, the Gingerbread version of Android--and a stylus. Here's a hands-on look at the smartphone.

This is a beast of a phone, massive cool!

The good thing about the 5.3" display is you can use it as a mat when you review the iphone 5.

I had a phone with a stylus 4 years ago. It was an old windows mobile 5.0. Now adding a stylus to the current Android became a big deal. They re-invented wheel! Well done!

just made me smile like anything! i waited rightly well enough!

[tecnoblix]

This will make me ditch my Evo! Love it!

@wwe0829 dont fret, it has a normal slot, so if you have a normal card you can use it, if you have a micro sim, you can get the adapter on ebay for $1-$2. So no matter what you should be good.

@TheCelestialTeacup No. It actually puts you in its pocket.

[jSONrEEE]

i have the phone. i thought it was huge and was wayyy too big to use but after i use it for like almost a week, it fits on your hand and your pocket just as anyother smartphones:)

@ingermarien its a capacitive screen so its going to be the same as galaxy s2 or iphone 4

@TheLegendTaher dont wait, get one, i sold off my iphone 4 and got this today...simply amazing phone

@s2556 In a loose-fit jeans pocket it fits well. You sure must be planning to experiment on how note can withstand dropping in the floor. Just kidding..1hand operation is manageable. I would suggest you to cut a piece of hard board having a size of 5.8"x3.3". Also trim the corners to give a round shape. Check if your palm is comfortable with that hard board. Btw that's the dimension of note. And don't worry about its thickness and weight. It feels incredibly light compared to its high end specs.

Depends on your usage. My galaxy s2 can last from 1 to 4 days depending on my usage. 4 days obviously only possible when I use the phone for no other thing than accepting quick calls, sms, whatsapp and gmail, wifi/3g and sync on all the time except when I am sleeping (airplane mode).

48 hours with heavy usage means a huge battery = no sales because most consumers want a cool looking phone. For people like you there are aftermarket batteries, bulky but it does the job.

Now this is what I want. A phone that feels like less than a phone, and more like a computer.

@chrisbreezy1111 yes it is, out of the box....simply amazing
