Samsung Galaxy Note

Still remember a month ago, I headed down to the Samsung store for collection of Samsung latest gadget - Galaxy Note. Don't be mistaken, Samsung didn't give me the gadget but they have loan it to me for a trial period.

 After the collection of Galaxy Note, we went for the briefing by Samsung on the phone's usuage.

 Andy and Claire were here for the collection too. So happy to see them here ♥

Galaxy Note is the combination of phone and tablet. It is best known for its large display. With the 5.3 inch HD display, the screen is magnified and tablet-like. It is possibly the best smartphone for web browsing, watching videos and gaming with its clear and colourful images.

Another highlight of Galaxy Note is the use of S Pen. With S Pen, we are able to access many shortcut keys and cool functions such as writing down notes, drawing, making screenshot and editing images. The small button at the side of the S Pen also facilitates the ease of using. For instance, you can press and hold the button, and do a swipe upwards; it will bring you to the application menu. 

With these, it creates the best mobile input experience.

However, I did not purchase the smartphone in the end as I am contented with its miniature, Galaxy S2. No doubt that the features of Galaxy Note is really good, but the phone is too big for me.

How did you guys find the product?
