The majority of the advertising surrounding the recent release of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4G smartphone has been spent showing off the “smart” stylus integrated into the handset / tablet. The S Pen stylus has the ability to recognize your handwriting, allows for creating original artwork, delivers write-to-e-mail and write-to-text features, and has several native applications which give the Galaxy Note a very tablet-like experience. However, the overall feature set allows for high-speed processing, high megapixel count camcorder functionality, and 25% better battery performance than the average 4G smartphone.

Exclusive to the new AT&T 4G LTE network, the Samsung Galaxy Note delivers the largest capacitive, multitouch screen in the entire 4G smartphone marketplace. The 5.30 inch display on board delivers a better than average pixel density of 285 pixels per inch. That display is also delivered in more than 16 million different colors to the Super AMOLED screen, and the resulting overall screen resolution is 800 x 1280 pixels, well at the high end of the 4G smartphone arena.
Generally, larger screens and faster processors absolutely gobble up battery life, so the engineers at Samsung have included a battery which is oversized in comparison to the average 4G handset. The 2,500 mAh cell on board the Samsung Galaxy Note delivers 10.0 hours of consecutive talk time from a single charge, and 11 days standby is also achieved.
Delivering Android’s Gingerbread operating system out-of-the-box, and one of the few handsets currently in the mobile marketplace to offer Near Field Communication (NFC) support built-in, the handset delivers true Google integration with Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube, Google Talk and Picasa preloaded. The battery run time delivered is exceptional when you realize that the dual core 1.5 GHz Scorpion central processor and graphics dedicated Adreno 220 microchip comprise a very hungry power pack. There is also 1.0 GB of RAM memory built in, as well as 16 GB of onboard storage.
Samsung has included their Galaxy S II high resolution 8.0 megapixel camcorder in the camera combo on board the Galaxy Note, and that accompanies a front facing 2.0 megapixel chat cam. That rear device records video in 1080P HD resolution, and delivers autofocus, smile detection and multishot features, as well as an LED flash and F2.6 aperture. The full web browser on board supports both HTML and Adobe Flash, and the Samsung Galaxy Note retails for $249 with a standard two-year commitment and data plan.
