Samsung Announces American Galaxy Note Release Date And Price

By Fausto Mendez


We've waited for far too long, but our time has ultimately come. Samsung and AT&T announced the Galaxy Note's official American date of release and price, so on the 19th of February, you can buy your own Galaxy Note for $300 on contract. That's a serious amount, but the Galaxy Note is probably worthwhile.

The device is like an upgraded, larger Galaxy S II on steroids, though the Super AMOLED Plus display on the Galaxy S II is significantly better than the Note's Super AMOLED display. That is because of an issue with sub-pixels that's beyond the scope of this piece of writing and my education. Still, the display on the Galaxy Note features a beefy 1280x800 resolution. That's fairly intense for smartphone; it's the kind of resolution you'd see on the monitor of a tiny notebook. And the stylus that is included with the Note is a critical component for artists and business people that need to work, test or jot down ideas free hand while staying mobile.

Sammy confirmed the handset at the start of Sep '11, and the global population's 1st mixed reaction placed doubts in our heads the device would succeed. But then we had to scribble about it, and the more we though about it, the more we were fond of the ideah of a 5-inch, Android slab in our pockets. Then again, we think it will not fit in every pocket, so it's not for everybody. There's something extremely appealing of a little smartphone, though a device like the Galaxy Note can offer a very different experience.

At the end of last year, we also had doubts that it would come to America, but never doubt America's love for everything gigantic. At Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas during January, Samsung debuted the Galaxy Note alternative for AT&T, and that was well received, doubtless. The company even payed artists at a few locations throughout the show to "paint" portraits of attendees on Galaxy Notes to show the capacities of the device.

Finally, at the end of Jan, the company announced the Galaxy Note would hit AT&T's 4G network on the 19th of Feb for $300 on contract. Samsung will also launch the device in Canada at about the same time.
