By Offering a huge 5.3 inch, Super AMOLED screen, an 8 mega-pixel camera, 1080p full HD video recording & playback and the multi-touch input of both a full touch screen and advanced smart pen stylus, the Galaxy Note beats all comers on the phone market for quality of pictures, videos and display. Surfing the web is also as close to that on a tablet as you could want, and due to the huge screen also beats all other smartphones hands down.
The drawer backs of tablets have traditionally been their size and lack of features that you can't find on any high-end smartphone - who remembers the accusations of the iPad simply being a blown up iPhone you couldn't make calls on when it first came out? Well, the same is still true that, beyond Skype, you cannot use tablets as phones (the idea of trying to hold it to your ear is ridiculous enough). The Note successfully gives the best of both worlds, being a device that has tablet functionality and quality while still offering phone functions. Some reviewers have been rather negative about its size, but if you don't fancy holding it your ear then you can simply invest in a good Bluetooth headset.
Samsung have been brave in launching a hybrid between smartphones and tablets, and Apple are very unlikely to follow suit due to the desire and prestige surrounding their products that has consumers clambering over each other to own the iPhone 4S AND the iPad 3. If you have more sense than money, you might just want to invest in Samsung's vision.
