JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – The Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 is a device that stands between the smartphone and tablet segments, with a gigantic touchscreen and high-speed components that leave every other handset behind.
It’s difficult to place it in a specific category or allocate a target audience since it fills a gap that wasn’t there to start with. The only other smartphone to have done it was the Dell Streak with its equally impressive 5″ touchscreen display.
If the reader is considering getting the Galaxy Note N7000 as a smartphone, it may be awkward to hold a half-a-tablet to the ear during a phone call, and if it will be used as a tablet rather, there are cheaper alternatives with even larger screens. For those who want a smartphone and a tablet in one device, this is the right choice.
For power users, there is absolutely nothing better. The 5.3″ Super AMOLED touchscreen has a reputation on its own, coupled with 1GB of RAM and a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, it promises excellent performance in applications, games and video recording.
Samsung has also got a variety of devices for customers looking for something smaller, perhaps in the iPhone 4S range: we have reviewed the Samsung Galaxy S II in the past, and the Galaxy Nexus has just been released around the world.
