It has a stylus and 1280×800 high-resolution Super AMOLED screen. It is a thin Android phone additional functionality by way of both sketching and note-taking. It is powered by a 1.4 Ghz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM and more. The Galaxy Note will also have an 8 MP camera with LED flash, a 2 MP front camera for video chat. Being ultra-portable even though we have a large display it will only be 9.65mm (0.37″) thin and weigh 178 grams while boosting the battery to a whopping 2500 mAh
Samsung also demonstrated two apps which leverage the Note’s large screen and are sure to be sought after. One is the S Planner, a cross between a personal organizer and a management planning tool which integrates a To-Do list and schedule and will make a very useful life organizer. The other is a multimedia app named S Memo, which can take any form of user-created content (pictures, voice recordings, typed text, handwritten notes and sketches) and combine them in a memo which can be edited, annotated and shared. Those two apps alone will make the Note a very useful tool.
