Samsung Galaxy Note
Bigger than a smartphone but smaller than a tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Note blends the portability of a phone with the screen space of a tablet. Its 5.3-inch HD Super AMOLED display delivers vivid colors and sharp detail for video, reading and web browsing. The S Pen offers precise, responsive control, making handwriting, sketching and detailed edits feel natural—like pen on paper. S Memo is a multimedia note app that brings together photos, voice recordings, typed text, handwritten notes and drawings into a single, shareable memo. A convenient screen-capture feature lets you save any screen and personalize it with the S Pen. Powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, the Note handles multitasking and media smoothly, while AT&T’s 4G LTE provides fast network speeds for browsing and streaming. Available in carbon blue or ceramic white, exclusively from AT&T. $299.99 with a two-year AT&T contract.
