I'm highly considering selling my Droid, paying the ETF with Verizon, buying a Straight Talk smartphone, importing the Note and using it on Straight Talk (AT&T Towers/Prepaid)... :D

I know it will probably be at least a year before something with this capability comes to Verizon.

Pentile screen, not true hd, only 800x500
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] narta:
Super Amoled Plus uses RGB True-Stripe. No Pentile matrix here. True HD

Read up http://www.oled-info.com/super-amoled-plus-resolution-explained before spreading FUD ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bruflot:
Super amoled HD*
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bruflot:
Its 1280x800?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BenF1:
Oh! This is most likely my next phone then! I read somewhere it was single core. Its Samsung, they're not too good with release dates.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kawaski47:
Huh? Where did you get 800x500? It's 1280x800
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kawaski47:
Here's a link. http://m.zdnet.com/blog/mobile-news/samsung-note-53-inch-phone-with-a-stylus/4169 not single core or 800x500
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] narta:
He is probably right... Super Amoled (not S Amoled Plus) still uses pwntile matrix. So the *real* res is 30% less....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
Look at the announcements from samsung carefully. There is no "plus" designation for the Note but there is one for 7.7's SAMOLED display
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
pixel count is still the same. It's the way subpixel is arranged for different colors will impact the way things are displayed
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BenG7:
hopefully for audiophiles, they will put the Wolfson DAC sound chipset (as found in SGS1) back in rather than the Yamaha YMU818B in the sgs2...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kain144000:
To everyone else disappointed about the lack of samoled+...

Plz, do voice ur discontent n my thread here. Hopefully, if Sammy sees enough " :mad: ", they'll reconsider b4 bringing it to North America,.. as, unfortunately, it's prob a done deal on the other side of the pond, already.

Thnx.

Post deleted
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Where do you get such absurd numbers? They have less sub-pixels/pixel. How does that make the so-called "real-resolution" less?

Resolution is still defined by number of pixels on vertical and horizontal axis. Even if I had 100 sub-pixels per pixel, that would still make it 1280x800. It's pretty simple actually - number of pixels in the screen (irrespective of number of sub-pixels or sub-pixel arrangement)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] narta:
If you put two identical sized screens one with the pentile arrangement and one with true stripe arrangement you will get the same amount of information but the pentile screen will look like a stretched out lower Res screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hashim0913:
looks awesome!

i think its pretty cool. a big screen and a fast processor! i bet it could go to 2 ghz if you overclocked it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] skydeve:
So, Samsung just want to design this phone for men? I can't imagine a girl hold this device on one hand to call her friends.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] uggies:
Nice...

I want one ...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] -SAIUN-:
Girls have the luxury of being able to put their phone in a handbag or purse, so this device may be just as suitable for women as it is for men.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sii77:
lovely phone I like it better than SGS2 becuse of the size I need it for Browsing and reading stuff and this is one outstanding phone :)

thanx :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] z33dev33l:
Wow, leave it to Samsung to produce hardware that can even make android look appealing. Gg Sammy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
will purchase in a wk
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BenKranged:
I don't think samoled+ with a resolution higher than 800x480 exist yet. In fact this is the first samoled with a res higher than that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_AMOLED

All the devices listed there are 800x480.

They can't put a display that doesn't exist yet in the phone.

:edit:

Its like saying where are the 60 inch samoled+ TVs?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wee22s:
This is awesome.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] skydeve:
Is this true? Noticed the resolution of GN is 800 x 1280 pixels. If so, the screen would be a little fake, wouldn't it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] narta:
Galaxy Tab 7.7" is 1280x800 SAmoled+

Wikipedia is not a reliable source.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kawaski47:
The galaxy note does NOT have the SAMOLED + screen, the 7.7 has it. The note has the SAMOLED HD screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] junglerumble:
**** **** **** I love it!

I got sell my ipad 2 and my current phone and the samsung note could replace both! oh lawdy lawd samsung may have done it yet again.

Dear rest of the indsutry,

Are you even ****ing trying?

love,

Samsung

Lol this reminds me.of.stifler from American pie lmaoo :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sygeek:
Just noticed this on the engadget's article. I still remain with my words though, this smartphone is too big for a smartphone and too small for a tablet. I guess they had to be the first to release a smartphone this big.

The specs look amazing though. I believe that there are SOME users who would've been longing for something like this, if you know what I mean.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] narta:
Actually the Dell Streak was the first
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sygeek:
Dell streak is a tablet, not specifically a smartphone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
actually it is a smartphone. I almost bought one when it was released. Just couldn't deal with the older version of android os and sluggishness
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartoi:
http://pocketnow.com/android/samsung-galaxy-note-coming-to-uk-q1-2012-later-in-the-us

Launching in 2012 makes kinda not want it. ICS and Quadcore wills becoming out at the same time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gakjelasbgt:
i think I'll just wait for 7" screen and 2Ghz phone...

hehehe
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] reinbeau:
Well, that timeframe (five months after the UK launch) puts it within striking distance of my second upgrade - so hubby may end up with an SGS II....I love the thought of a larger screen and a stylus (old Palm girl here).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
This is still a few months from release. It's still in alpha/beta stage. Drivers/apps will be optimized further before release.

Check how precise the S Pen can get, nice sketches:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhAQx2-z_EA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78rEZ3Ki0J0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qK9u3nckTg

The great part (imo) is that they are releasing the pen SDK. Developers can make use of this for so many uses. Also, quite a few gesture controls already built into the Pen.

Let's see how it goes.

EDIT: I can imagine Samsung can still tweak the specs before release (a la S2 before release).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] er.davinder:
I want it now!!!!!! I will sell my kidneys for that... lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] skydeve:
SAMOLED + or SAMOLED HD? hmm, a little confused.

could you share a source to make these two clear?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] norbydavid:
my source is gsm arena.

i own a galaxy tab p1000. love it but it won't fit in my pocket and it only has speaker phone (unless you use a headset which i don't like bringing around) so the size and spec of the SGNote is a great balance for me. plus the dual core!

i'm sold.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Garen21:
I have the Infuse, and its pretty big. 5.3 would just be too big to keep in your pocket though. Man purses would solve that problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] afsalva:
Looks bit bigger for my liking....Waiting for the new iphone :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Greatbape:
ICS will be released before this phone. Chances are this phone will launch will ICS. Quadcore over dual core won't really be that big a deal. Dual is vastly under used still. Quad core at this point is just an enthusiast thing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sygeek:
That's a misconception dude. Search it up on google.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartoi:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/06/samsung-galaxy-note-tops-benchmarks-price-sheets-video/

3624 on Quadrant is very impressive considering its extremely high resolution (1280x800) and the drivers aren't even completely optimized yet (as Samsung said). For comparison sake, my OC Galaxy S2 @ 1.4GHz gets between 3800-4,100 at a mere 800x480 resolution.

SMAOLED+ has 12 subpixels and is RGB at 800x480, SMAOLED HD is pentile but has a resolution of 1280x800.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
Misconception that it can make phone calls?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
This screen reaolution impacting on quadrant score pops up way too often. Let's disect it a bit

1. Both devices are capped at 60fps and galaxy s2 stays very close to that. (we dont know what it can do without the frame cap and how much impact higher res screen has on the galaxy s2)

2. Graphics portion is a small part of the total score
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sygeek:
misconception that dell streak is a smartphone. it's a tablet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
jebus. It's a hybrid device and considered a smartphone by pretty much everyone except you

Dell Streak 5 Unlocked Android Tablet Smartphone (16GB, GSM, WiFi + 3G, Bluetooth)

by Dell

http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Unlocked...POR4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1315390313&sr=8-2
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sygeek:
TECHNICALLY, Dell streak is a tablet. Though I agree it pretty much acts as a hybrid between a smartphone and a tablet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lunlunb:
wow it's cool.but is it too strange to put a 5 inch phone into the pockets?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] reinbeau:
That's why we carry purses ;) :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ruudfood:
Sorry but why is it "technically" a tablet? What defines what a tablet is "technically"? Surely if it's capable of making phone calls it's a phone first and everything else later, especially as you don't see anything of a larger form factor (which really would be in "tablet" territory) capable of making calls.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SwiftLegend:
Dell released it as a TABLET, meaning it's a TABLET.

I really feel like moving to Europe just to buy this :) Anyone seen stuff on the Galaxy Note S? It's on the spreadsheet a user here made of all the upcoming phones. I'm hoping it's the US variant.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sygeek:
This. This defines technically.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JunkPC:
omg i have to get me one cannot imagine the speed and screen size. apple is gonna have hard time competing against this giant!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ruudfood:
That's just marketing. There is no "technial" definition for a tablet. HTC could have called the HD2 a tablet because it had a bigger screen than most devices out there when it was launched, but that still wouldn't make it a tablet!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SwiftLegend:
Are you dense? You just described what the "technical" definition of a tablet. Actually, if the manufacture says it's a tablet, than that's what it is. Did you make it? No. So you can't say what it is and what it is "technically." Dell made it, they call it whatever the *&#@ they want, "technically" or not.

Definition of the word, technically: marked by or characteristic of specialization. Dell MARKED the Streak as a tablet, so TECHNICALLY it is a TABLET.

If HTC called the HD2 a tablet than it would be a tablet, since they are the ones with the naming rights, not you. Hell if Moto called the Droid 1 a tablet, than it would be a tablet, no ifs, buts, or ands about it.

Some of the people on here just get under my skin with their uppity attitudes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sygeek:
Oh jesus. I'm not referring technically, hardware-wise OR specification-wise.

Dell streak has created this product around a tablet's ecosystem. It's license, terms condition, etc. shows it as a tablet. Also, it has been marketed around this sense, as a tablet.

I've referred to the word "technical" on that terms.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] WeldingRod:
anybody try to fit one of these in the pocket yet? will AT&T carry it with support for 4g speeds?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
outside of dimension there was nothing technical about it that distinguished the streak strictly as a tablet. Like i said before, it's a hybrid.

Same qualcomm internal as the dozen phones, same OS, voice call capability
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
I think it should fit the pocket well. Streak is slightly larger in size ad easily fits the pocket.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SwiftLegend:
I'm pretty sure I saw an article saying Samsung doesn't plan on releasing this in the states....I could be wrong though.

http://www.computerworld.com/s/arti...or_new_Galaxy_Note_and_Tab_7.7_remain_unclear

EDIT: Found it. http://androidandme.com/2011/09/news/samsung-galaxy-note-galaxy-tab-7-7-not-coming-to-u-s/

Probably due to the release of the Droid and/or Nexus Prime..all their resources are probably in those.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SwiftLegend:
Usually when someone says "technically" they don't actually mean the technical hardware of the product. If I said "Even though I'm light skinned, I'm technically African American" doesn't mean I'm talking about my insides, per say.

Again, technically means : marked by or characteristic of specialization.

The Streak was MARKED BY Dell as a TABLET, therefore it is a TABLET. They are the ones with the naming rights, so what they say goes, not what you say.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] WeldingRod:
pffff roflmfao lolol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] skydeve:
+1

Manufacturers always try to use all marketing strategies and tricks to make the product be what it supposed to be.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] reinbeau:
Eh. I could drive around on a Ford 9N and claim it was a car. Doesn't make it a car. However, this is ridiculous. Those who believe it's a phone will think it's a phone, a tablet, a tablet....can we move on?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
I have noticed several people saying the Note is too big to be a mobile phone and too small to be a tablet without giving any reasons as if it makes common sense needing no explanation.

I cannot see why the Note is too big to be a mobile phone for it is highly mobile, with a good battery and fits in pockets. Also, larger phones usually have bigger aerials and receive phone signals better and the bigger dial-up pad is easier to use. So it is not at all obvious to me why the Note is too big to be a mobile phone.

I also cannot see why the Note is too small to be used as a Tablet for working on the Internet. The 5.3 inch WXGA screen and precision stylus should enable most Internet tasks to be carried out without the need for zooming in and out.

So, I hope the next person who says the Note is "too big to be a phone and too small to be a Tablet" explains what they mean.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] uNGoDLy EvO:
Hopefully this works out for me as well
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] WeldingRod:
more of an unknown without having one to try out, and being it is bigger than any phone most have used, it generates questions more than anything.

I'd say if you travel alot the screen size is probably a perfect middle ground, when your holding it close the screen would even be neat to watch video or movies on during a flight or something like that. Would work great in the rental car for a GPS, and if you like to surf the net it probably works a heck of alot better for navigating pages.

I hope they bring it to the states for 4g/gsm with ATT I'd like to try one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gusar321:
Not my pockets.

Not if you can't hold the phone with one hand and reach the entire screen with the thumb.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SwiftLegend:
Actually, car is short for automobile. An automobile is a wheeled motor vehicle. A motor vehicle or road vehicle is a self-propelled wheeled vehicle that does not operate on rails. So technically, a Ford 9N is still a car. :) I think you mean "sedan"

EDIT: Just google'd a Ford 9N..its a bloody tractor?! I thought it was a truck...I am such a fail.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sygeek:
You don't need a "common sense explanation" to this. It's all about personal preference, or opinions lets just say.

The thing is, if it gets around your comfort zone, you accept it. 5.3" display is NOWHERE near my comfort zone. It is too big for me, too big for the fingers, too big as a smartphone, too small as a tablet and it looks really very very weird for a person to carry such a large "smartphone" (I said smartphone, not tablet).

I'm okay with at max 4", increase it by .3" and I'll still be okayish with it. Add some more .2" and I still don't have much problem. But when it shoots to 5.3", yes sir, I DO HAVE A PROBLEM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] phonex1:
So because some people or many people don't like the screen size samsung should halt the production of this device which some of us would actually prefer?

Why should the needs of all be directed by a few?

This thread sounds a lot like macrumors, no offense. Sounding your opinion about iPhone's future additions there is like causing a huge disturbance in the force :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sygeek:
Most of the users on XDA are not really a fan of iPhone, that doesn't mean that they should halt the iProduction all together.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
Thanks to those who provided reasons why the Note "is too big to be a phone and too small to be a Tablet", such as being too big for their particular pockets or using one-handed, or being outside their comfort zone.

Of course I was not suggesting the Note would suit everyone, I just thought it was unfair to criticise without giving reasons.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] reinbeau:
:D The discussion is as ridiculous as my example, at this point ;) I like the idea of the note, no matter what it's called.

Sent from a state of Serendipity
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
Once again the size of phone is totally a matter of indivdual choice.

The first time i got dell streak, i returned it in 1 week. Then i began to miss it . Ordered another one and loved it . Now even Samsung galaxy s2 is so small for me.

I waiting for this beast to come out and if compatible with ATT will definetly get one unless something more spectacular gets released in time.

My wife on the other hand has diffculty in using 3.5inch screen.. her hands are small and i totally understand it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vhs_29:
it's an amazing piece of hardware, yet i find it too big. but i can understand those who think the other way. i'm moving from a 3.2 inches screen to a 4 inches cause 3.2 seems to small now :s
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SwiftLegend:
True that. It's just an awesome looking phone..maybe that's what it should be called...An awesome :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
Apple introduced the Tablet which has been very successful and copied by others. However, Tablets are still a long way from replacing Laptops so if you can only afford one device then it has to be the Laptop.

The smart phone cannot replace the Laptop either but it has the big advantage of being able to be taken everywhere without the need for a carrying bag. Also, the trend of increasing screen sizes on smart phones like the Galaxy Note are threatening to reduce the importance of Tablets.

So if you can only afford two devices then the Laptop and large smart phone are the best combination.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
I beg to differ. You can quote me on this but Microsoft is making a lot of effort to make that happen with windows 8
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
I will agree with you when I can replace my laptop with a Tablet without losing any functionality no matter what the OS is.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hegemytouch:
Agreed...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CostasChem:
Nicely put! I agree with you 100%. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
Even the current Windows 7 based tablets offer a full functionality of a laptop but it lacks the user friendliness of these mobile platform based slates. Next version seems to be addressing that issue with a drastic changes to the UI to accommodate the touchscreen based desktops and mobile slate devices
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aalupatti:
That is so true if we erase all of history before that happened. :eek:

However i do not disagree if u say, apple was the first to do it a better way
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
I use my Laptop to produce DVD movies from my smart phone clips, so I would need a Tablet to do that and I cannot see that happening any-time soon.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
Fair point :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Super Chimp:
I am not sure the size will be as much of an issue as I first thought it would be. I couldn't get on with the GS II, but I think that was more poor ergonomics & screen ratio than its actual size. I don't have any issue with my iPad and that's much bigger than this, even though it's a smartphone not a tablet, you're more likely to be using it like a tablet I suspect.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sygeek:
That is a very subjective statement.

For example, a user may not want a full-fledged bulky device to carry everywhere. He may be an occasional web browser, casual gamer. In short, he may be a casual user. Most of the power users here in XDA probably wouldn't understand this behavior, but that's the way it is.

A tablet will be PERFECT for him in this case.

Additionally, he may not even want a large phone with the above device, like Galaxy note. Maybe other phones like Defy/Nexus S will just do for him.

P > x > Q. If you know how I'm comparing, P+Q won't EVER fulfill the simplicity of the x's purpose.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
My suggestions were meant to provide maximum functionality using one or two devices and not meant to suggest everyone wanted maximum functionality.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sygeek:
Should have mentioned that in the original post itself. And I also corrected that post, to some extent that makes sense to what you just said.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
I would not part with my Laptop in favour of a Tablet until Android includes support for printing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] AllGamer:
where have you been?

Android is able to print just fine, you just need an app like this one

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sec.print.mobileprint&feature=search_result

or this one

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dynamixsoftware.printershare&feature=search_result

or many of the ones you feel like installing from Market
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
yup

even the galaxy tab has a native print function (limited to samsung printers for now)

Also did everyone catch the windows 8 dev preview? Ridiculous!!!

Great UI, native win7 app support, core i5, PLS screen, etc.
