Samsung Galaxy Note Review

32 GB     See other variants reviews Score: 68.8 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Note is a fascinating phone released back in the year 2011, including an extremely fast 1.4 gigahertz Dual-Core processor, a 5.3 inches multi touch screen, and 2 cameras, an 8 MP back facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front facing camera.

This cellphone is powered by a Samsung Exynos 4 chip, packing a very fast Dual-Core CPU clocking at 1400 MHz with only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a little bit poor for such a good phone. To handle graphic intensive applications, it also uses a 266 MHz ARM Mali-400 MP4 GPU. This cellphone counts with an excellent 32 GB internal storage and an external SD slot, which allows the user to store lots of applications, games, photos and videos without having to worry about running out of space at all.

This cellphone is much lighter than what one would think about a phone this size. The Samsung Galaxy Note is available in three different color options, black, pink and white. The Note is incredibly thin and comfortable, with a thickness of just 0.38". This phone is a very compact phone, taking into consideration it has a 5.3 inches display and it only has 5.78 inches long and 3.27 inches wide.

The Samsung Galaxy Note features two cameras, an 8 megapixels back camera and a 2 MP front-facing camera. The Note also captures Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 fps. In addition, the camera includes a few interesting characteristics: auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode and smile detection shooting.

Samsung packed this cellphone with a good looking 5.3 inches screen, and a 1280 x 800 resolution, giving this cellphone a good graphical experience. This screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

This device has an inmense 2500 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery that can keep it running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it at all. According to Samsung, the Note has a reported 960 hs stand by time and a 26 hours talk time.

This cellphone offers Wi-Fi connectivity (which it can share with other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G HSPA+ data connection, that is not so fast as LTE or LTE-A 4G networks and the fastest 3G internet connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA and UMTS technologies. This device uses a SIM card for GSM carriers.

This phone also includes a few cool characteristics such as NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth (3.0) and GPS Geolocation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Barometer and Compass.

Samsung is offering this device for $ 263, which is somewhat expensive for a cellphone this level. No matter whether you need a work phone, are looking for a social cellphone, are an amateur photographer or are looking for a gaming cellphone, this phone is probably a very good choice .
