- GALAXY Note is combining the market's largest HD Super
AMOLED display, supreme portability and advanced S Pen
feature to enhance your creativity and productivity needs
London, United Kingdom - October 27, 2011 - Samsung
Electronics Co., Ltd, a leading global mobile phone provider,
today announced the commercial availability of GALAXY Note in
the European market starting from Germany in November. The
GALAXY Note will be available with major operators including
Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefonica, and Vodafone in
Europe.
GALAXY Note features the world's first and largest 5.3" HD
Super AMOLED display. This is an expansive high-resolution
smart screen that provides an immersive and best in class
viewing experience while ensuring smartphone portability and
on the go usability. Additionally, an advanced pen-input
technology, called the S Pen, combines with GALAXY Note's
full touch screen to introduce a unique user experience.
Taking full advantage of the large display, GALAXY Note users
will be able to multi-task, create and consume more, with
fewer interruptions, while on the go.
The incorporated digital S Pen can be used for accurate
sketching and artwork, while superior handwriting recognition
allows ideas to be freely captured and shared with other
devices without the need to perform any additional
digitization; handwritten text is accurately converted into
digital characters.
"GALAXY Note is a revolutionary product to open a new
category in the mobile industry and I am very proud of this
accomplishment," said JK Shin, President and Head of
Samsung's Mobile Communications Business. "Samsung GALAXY
Note will redefine and enhance mobile communication by
offering a more advanced, productive and creative user
experience with its new innovative features such as S Memo, S
Planner and S Choice. I hope European customers will enjoy
our new product and fully take advantage of GALAXY Note's
many innovative features."
Specially Designed Applications
Together with commercial availability of GALAXY Note, Samsung
also announced the launch of 'S Choice', a new category menu
under the Samsung Apps, with applications specially designed
for GALAXY Note's S Pen feature. New applications offering
will include Soonr Workplace, OmniSketch, Zen Brush,
ComicBook!, and iAnnotate PDF. Soonr Workplace enables team
collaboration by allowing direct annotation on the various
file formats stored in the Soonr Cloud and iAnnotate PDF
provides a direct annotation mode for S Pen over PDF file.
OmniSketch and Zen Brush are very useful tools for free
sketch and drawing. OmniSketch enables users to sketch
drawings using the S Pen as a brush, while Zen Brush provides
oriental brush simulation.
Stunning Visual Experience
GALAXY Note's high-resolution display ensures that e-books,
PowerPoint presentations, news apps and web-pages can be
viewed comfortably with minimal scrolling or zooming.
Minimizing the need to switch between applications, GALAXY
Note's HD super AMOLED screen is large enough to allow
meaningful split-screen operation and true multi-tasking; the
most frequently used native apps can be operated
side-by-side, reducing interruptions. Additionally, the 5.3"
display is the largest ever included in a primary mobile
device; measuring just 9.6mm thick, GALAXY Note fits
comfortably in a pocket to offer true portability.
Power, Performance and a Superior User Experience
GALAXY Note's 1.4GHz dual-core processor ensures the device
is incredibly fast and a smooth user interface ensures
seamless usability. Lightning fast network speeds are enabled
through the HSPA+ or LTE-enabled device's super-fast
connection, ensuring a quick and seamless browsing
experience. This means that users can stream videos in
real-time or engage with their friends through online gaming
platforms, facilitated through Samsung's Game Hub.
