Just when the world is witnessing the never ending war between the ever growing display size of smartphones and shrinking size of tablets, Samsung has come up with a new product and invented yet another category of‘Note’.

The Galaxy Note has a big 5.3-inch display that makes us blanch: “This big a phone?” But Samsung is coming from a different school of thoughts with a lot of interesting features. Along with handing multiple tasks such as calling and staying connected, a note taking functionality has been added to this device with the aim of replacing the notebook that people usually carry to scribble notes on. Hence, the Galaxy Note will be accompanied with a stylus named the SPen that will allow users to write, scribble or doodle, just the way they do on a sheet of paper.
