Samsung Galaxy Note LTE Review

(SGH-I717) Score: 67 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Note LTE is a complete Android cellphone released in 2012, including a quite big 5.3-inches multi touch screen, a great performance 1.5 gigahertz Dual-Core processor, and 2 cameras, an 8 MP back facing camera and a 2 megapixels front side camera.

Being just 0.38 inches thick,this device is thin and good-looking. This phone is quite a compact phone, given that it features a 5.3" display and it's just 5.78" long. Samsung made an amazing job making this cellphone as lightweight as 6.28 oz.

Samsung decided to equip this phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 MSM8660 system chip, holding a powerful 1500 megahertz Dual-Core CPU and 1 GB of RAM. A good advantage of the Note LTE is its quite big 16 GB internal storage memory and a slot for an external memory card, which allows the user to install a couple hundred games and applications without running out of space.

Samsung equipped this device with a good level 5.3-inches display, and a 1280 x 800 resolution, which makes everything look great. Its display uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This phone counts with Wi-Fi capability (which it can provide to other devices acting as a wireless router or modem), LTE (4G) high speed connectivity and also HSPA+ connection type, that is a slower 4G type and fast 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA and UMTS technologies. This device works with a SIM card to use GSM services.

The Note LTE is equipped with two cameras, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 2 mega-pixels front camera. It is also able to film 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 fps. In addition, this device's camera also counts with flash.

This cellphone also includes a couple of useful features such as Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth and GPS (Global Positioning System), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Barometer.

This phone packs a big capacity 2500 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery that can keep this phone running for several hours without having to charge it. Samsung reports a 250 hs stand by time and a 10 hs talk time for this phone.

This cellphone is not cheap at all considering it is offerred for 360 dollars, while some similar cellphones are sold for much less than that. No matter if you want it mostly for social networks and internet browsing, you love taking photographs, need a phone to play games or will use it as a work device, you will probably love this cellphone.
