Although Samsung positioned the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 as a smartphone, but still quite large in size and far exceeds the phones in general and was in the middle between the tablet and smartphone. Galaxy Note according to Samsung is a new type of smartphone. Combining 5.3-inch Super AMOLED HD screen and Android 2.3 Gingerbread with S Pen interface powered by a 1.4 GHz dual core processor and 2500 mAh battery, has a 8MP and 2MP camera combined with 3.5G connectivity, WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth.

Design and body
Regardless of the jumbo size, when viewed from the front, Galaxy Note looks like Samsung Galaxy S first. The sides was the same with Samsung Galaxy S, made of dark blue list. Meanwhile, the rear casing is serrated rubber existing in almost all Samsung smartphones are released after the Galaxy Ace. Ridged material has several advantages such as non-skid and anti-sweat. S-Pen which is a special stylus Galaxy note placed on the left in the back of the Galaxy Note, with a similar placement of the PDA-PDA output in early 2000. S-Pen can not be used for other capacitive screen phones. Rear cover of the battery cover can be removed, but to insert the SIM card and Micro SD you must open the battery first. Unfortunately there is no HDMI port on the Galaxy Note.
For the big size of the phone, it would be problematic when you hold the note with one hand, for example when you hold with your right hand, when you try to touch the far left of the screen then for you have a long thumb will be difficult though because it will get stuck between the base of the thumb and the display the right. Especially if you intend to reach the upper end of the opposite. If the pocket of your pants pocket narrow then it will taste very narrow when you sit down. Galaxy Note will maximal if using 2 hands, what may make due to the large screen in the use of sacrificing practicality. Although large, it turns out Galaxy Note quite thin, only 9.7 mm, 0.2 mm thinner than the Samsung Galaxy S i9000. Weighing is light, only 178 grams if compared to the Dell Streak 5-inch that have weight 220 grams.
Screen
The screen is one of the main advantages of the Samsung Galaxy Note. Specs among others, the Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels that meet the wide 5.3-inch diagonal, making the pixel density of 284.8 pixels per inch, far more dense than the Galaxy S II is 217 ppi and Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 is 215.63 ppi. Although still using PenTile matrix, where 1 pixel contains only 2 subpixels, so it will look less sharp than the usual RGB type, but the magnitude of the resolution on the Galaxy note make this does not interfere compare with PenTile Matrix on Super AMOLED screen Galaxy S first pixel density of only 233,24 pixels per inch.
For about the beauty and contrast of screen color AMOLED type was difficult compared to any type of screen. Mainly a matter of contrast, with the color black is really black, in the dark if you play a video that is not fullscreen then the boundary between the screen with phone body visible. Very high color levels and nice views, though not natural, but the beauty of color as if capable of bewitching anyone who saw it. Although the Galaxy Note screen looks cool with the bluish characteristic and not dazzling brightness even at the highest level, but when used in the hot sun screen is still clearly visible. Galaxy Note screen has several modes such as Dynamic, Standard and Movie, Movie mode where the screen that had bluish shades become of yellow characteristic are perfect for watching movies.
Interface
Galaxy Note interface is TouchWiz UI and a style of application icons that are similar to Gingerbread phones, Samsung confirmed that this is a phone, not a tablet. Lockscreen just a little different. Due to a bigger screen and sharper, the application icon is displayed either in the main menu and homescreen icons more than 5x5 compared 4x4 icons on the Galaxy SII. The icon remains at the bottom of the screen and become 5 pieces compared 4 item on the Samsung Galaxy S II. Homescreen consists of 5 pages and you can add widgets, folders, Shortcuts and wallpaper.Screen shot you can do by holding the Home button and power.
The main menu with the TouchWiz typical horizontal arrangement is divided into several pages. You can edit the order manually and add the pages and folders. Additionally you can see the main menu in the format of the List View. Typical notification bar TouchWiz UI, with 5 access shortcuts faithful in every Samsung Android phone, for WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, Silent Mode, and auto rotation. Screenshot you can do by holding the Home button and power. In general, the use of the Galaxy Notes interface is fairly easy and friendly, especially if you previously used the Galaxy series phones.
Text Input
For text input method there are two types namely the Samsung Keypad and Swype. At Samsung Input methods, you can switch to handwriting recognition by touching icons on the right. Handwriting can be done either by hand or S Pen is available in this Galaxy Note, evoking memories of the heyday of the PDA with its handwriting recognition. In addition QWERTY keyboard, there is a 3x4 mode aka ABC keypad mode for you who have difficulty typing on this phone. Even so the QWERTY keyboard in portrait position alone is sufficient width and fit to do typing. Another feature available is the Predictive text, sweeping keypad, auto capitalization and others. For handwriting recognition there are some settings such as type recognition, pen thickness, color and others.
Contact
In the menu there is a group and favorite contacts for easy grouping your colleague. Like other Android phones, contact can you synchronize with GMail account, Facebook, Twitter. From contacts you can see the profile picture, updates the status of the concerned, email addresses, and other information that he shared on your Facebook / Twitter. For new contacts, some additional fields that can be selected is the ringtone, IM, Email, Postal, Organization, Notes, nickname, Website and Internet Call.
Messaging
SMS usage is very easy. Displayed in a threaded SMS like a chat mode. To change your SMS to MMS you enough to add attachment media to be sent. Quite varied settings, including font size, background color, text message limit, delivery report, SMS settings, and ringtone and notifications.
Using GMail version 2.3.5.2 , Google Mail perform perfectly and will help you to work with email, with fast push notifications, multi-account support and features a very complete as a desktop version of GMail like labels, starred, and Search.
Default instant messenger that is always there in the Galaxy Note and all Android handsets is GTalk. Notifications can be arranged, can be raised or not, when raised it will adorn the incoming message notifications on the bar screen. Vibration and ringtone notifications can also be arranged.
Camera
With a resolution of 8MP, plus autofocus and an LED flash, natural to expect the maximum image from Samsung Galaxy Note. Features that are available is the timer, white balance, ISO, metering, outdoor visibility, anti-shake, auto contrast, blink detection, guidelines, image quality and Geo tagging. The use of the camera is quite easy with an intuitive interface. But unfortunately there is no camera button, so the images will often jamming blur if your hand is not solid when photographing objects. Focus performed well with autofocus and touch to focus. Front 2MP fixed focus camera is perfect for your narcissism.
The results of a good camera, and produces sharp images with brilliant color with a fairly high contrast and detail. In a darkened room had good results and minimal noise. Especially if you shoot with flash, at the bottom there are pictures where we take pictures in a fairly dark room. In other words the camera Galaxy Note deserves thumbs up.
Video Recorder
Fair enough if the Galaxy Note given 1080p video recording feature . With an identical interface with the camera, its features pretty much like: exposure, timer, effects, white balance, outdoor visibility, guidelines, and video quality. But unlike a camera, there is no focus at all on the feature video recording, both of autofocus and touch to focus not available, this is a drawback if you want to record video close proximity to the object.
The results of 1080p video recording different with 720p, 720p recording on an object that caught more and more widespread, although the quality and sharpness of superior 1080p. The results of smooth 1080p video recording and smooth, both inside and outside the room. With almost 17000 kbps bitrate and framerate of 29 frames per second is certainly not surprising that the results are good. Good result of course need big storage, where to record 1080p video in 1 minute need 120 MB storage memory.
Photo Gallery
Photo galleries and videos with the touch of Android typical 3D when tilted on Galaxy Note. Pinch and zoom can be done to perform zooming. Images can be instantly shared via Bluetooth, email, MMS and WiFi as well as social networks like Facebook, Twitter and others. For other settings you can copy, print, edit, crop, rotate left / right, slideshow, rename and details. Perfect picture displayed on the Super AMOLED HD screen, with a quick response and rendering.
Video Player
Like the Samsung Android phone before, Galaxy Note has a dedicated video player application. The main difference is the view that there could be a list of videos in thumbnails mode, lists, and folders. Galaxy Note can play video files in many formats. We tried to play a file .Mkv 720p sized 1GB with a duration of 1.5 hours and the film went very smoothly and seamlessly. Moreover, the subtitle format .Srt can be read with ease and added some settings such as active or not subtitle, and synchronizing sound and picture out of sync, which wanted to subtitle file selection is loaded, language, and font size. Coupled with 5.3 inch screen is superb, the setting of brightness, color tone, features 5.1-channel and outdoor features of the direct visibility of the video player default, making the Galaxy note perfect as a portable video player that is suitable for you who like to watch. For other formats, file .Mp4 HD downloaded from Youtube and .Avi (divx / xvid) can also be easily legible.

When the player minimized, in the notification bar there is a pause button, previous and next song to make it easier.

For pages / tabs that can be opened up to 8 pieces. Perfect web performance and smooth, although the opening pages filled with lots of content.
