Currently, the vast majority of smartphones are equipped with a display diagonal of more than 5 inches. However, it is worth remembering that a few years ago this type of equipment just was not on the market. This situation changed dramatically thanks to one family appliances – Samsung Galaxy Note.
The success of the series Galaxy Note made even Apple had to bend and began to use in its smartphones larger screens. And ridiculed by the head of Apple stylus today is proudly sold in the Apple store, as an accessory for the iPad Pro – the best tablets in the company’s offer.
How it all began and how the various stages looked Korean revolution with a big screen stylus in the background? Of course, since the first model Galaxy Note, which debuted in 2011.
Although a matter of fact Samsung launched a crusade on larger screens before. at a time when fans sent Apple itself this graphic convincing that the diagonal length of 3.5-inch smartphone is ideal for use with your thumb, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S II a great for those times the screen – 4 3-inch. It’s what he did with the line Note was even braver step.
It seems to me that the first Samsung Galaxy Note tested only a few months ago, but since then it’s been five years. to be fair, that a few weeks after its launch this device aroused much greater interest than devices manufactured by Apple. When I used this equipment in public transport, many times I was accosted by other passengers. They asked me where I can buy a phone, how much it costs, how it works and whether even impossible to use.
Yes, definitely could use this . Although half a decade ago, smartphones were not as slender as it is today, a 5.3-inch phablet was considered a veritable pan, the first Note appealed to users, who bought 10 million copies of this device. About how innovative it was the equipment may indicate that Samsung not quite know how to name the category to which it belongs. Considered names such as tabfon or phablet. She won the second, but after a few years and it has been virtually forgotten since smartphones very grown by this time.
The Samsung Galaxy Note is presented for the specification? Phenomenal! In the end, he was the older brother of the masthead Samsung Galaxy S II. Components used in the first phablecie market is Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1280 × 800 pixels protected by glass Corning Gorilla Glass, a dual-core processor Exynos 4210 with a frequency of 1.4 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 16 or 32 GB of flash memory and the camera matrix 8 Megapixels, who was able to capture an image with a resolution FullHD. Active work on Android 2.3 Gingerbread with TouchWiz 4.0 overlay. Today, these parameters can raise at most pitiful smile, but on release devices were really amazing.
The Samsung Galaxy Note was not an ordinary smartphone. This device has been advertised as an ideal assistant in work. All through the stylus S-Pen, which allowed for easy selection of specific items on the screen and easily take notes. Remember that Samsung decided to introduce this equipment in an era in which everyone like a mantra repeated the words of Steve Jobs about the fact that pens do not make sense on mobile devices. Koreans decided to finally say “check” and … won this round of the game.
Let’s add jescze to order that the jab Jobs toward Stylus concerned having to use your smartphone to handle basic phone features like calling and writing SMS, and not drawing as it does for example. iPad Pro.
the first in a line of Galaxy Note was an attempt to create a new branch of the market, and its sales could not complain, but this is only the second version of the device convinced each other really large number of users. This is evidenced by the fact that the Samsung Galaxy Note II in just two months went up to 5 million customers. This was the result of five times better than its predecessor. Samsung has not decided to introduce massive changes in your device. Instead, it has greatly improved its specification.
What has changed? First of all, we used a larger, 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 × 720 pixels. As you can see, changed the aspect ratio, so that the equipment has become narrower and taller. He was also slightly thinner. this trend, moreover, has been maintained in subsequent years, and almost everyone the next Samsung Galaxy Note was thinner, taller and narrower and offer a bigger display. Ot progress. Besides, there used Exynos 4412 quad-core processor with frequency of 1.6 GHz, 2 GB RAM and 16, 32 or 64 GB of flash memory. He grew a battery whose capacity now instead of 2500 amounted to 3100 mAh. the equipment operated under the control of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
the biggest differentiator Samsung Galaxy Note II? it was the function Air View, which allow you to operate the phone without touching the screen . Later was implemented in smartphone Samsung Galaxy S4. Unfortunately, I can not say whether it is currently used, but something tells me that as most of the solutions implemented, proved to be too little innovative and was the world simply forgotten. In any case, now Samsung is not it exaggerated praises.
Oh, well, it was for the hardware! If I had to name the most distinctive, refined and interesting representative of a series of Samsung Galaxy Note, I’d say just about this smartphone. Pay attention first and foremost rear housing of the device that looked like natural skin. If anyone had doubts about that phablety Samsung are devices business, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 to be fully dispelled. At first I regretted that instead of genuine leather Koreans have used its plastic imitation, but the example of LG G4 showed that as little durable material, not particularly suitable for mobile devices.
The admiration aroused the ergonomics and sophisticated design the device. Samsung went here all the way and decided to reduce almost all dimensions and weight of the device. Apparently there is nothing impressive, but keep in mind that the Galaxy note 3 had a huge Super AMOLED 5.7 “, which was covered with glass Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Samsung has decided to also increase the resolution to 1920 × 1080 pixels. Other specifications of this system Snapdragon 800, 3 GB of RAM and 32 or 64 GB of flash memory. If someone bought the unit in 2013, may it comfortably use today. Gently, to the level of 3200 mAh raised a battery capacity and used a better camera with a resolution of 13 Megapixels. Samsung has decided to also use the new charging connector microUSB 3.0, which was very fast, compatible with the previous standard microUSB 2.0 and … very ugly. They never reverted to the idea of applying it. In addition, the Galaxy Note 3 as the first representative of a series of wireless charging handle.
Smartphone operated under the control of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean enriched overlay Samsung. This system has worked wonderfully with a stylus with an additional button. After pressing it appeared a special menu with the functions of a dedicated accessory ago. One of them was a closet, where you can make the necessary notes. Samsung Galaxy Note 3 was also the first hardware that supports full multitasking, a feature that appears only in the upcoming Android 7.0 Nougat. Unfortunately, as you might guess, the device Samsung acted average and did not cooperate with her many applications.
This model appeared a few months after the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and it was a poorer version. In a nutshell, here we used the style and system functions Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and components of known published a year earlier model. It was designed for users looking primarily looks and cool features, not power.
This model may seem boring. In the end, on the occasion of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Koreans found a good way of development of its series of large equipment. That’s why they decided to stick to the once chosen path and set best practice. Samsung has decided to re-use plastic plecków pretending skin. This time also slightly increased dimensions and weight of the device.
However, in return, Samsung has applied slightly better components. Among other things, re-conquered resolution 5.7-inch display Super AMOLED (covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 4), this time to 2560 x 1440 pixels. in addition, the applied octa-processor Exynos 5433 or Snapdragon 805, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB flash memory. Almost did not change the battery, the capacity of which in this case was 3220 mAh. Samsung resigned udziwnionego charging port and returned to the standard microUSB 2.0. there were also a little better camera with a sensor resolution of 16 Megapixels.
a similar size casing and screen, almost identical performance, and slightly larger display. If someone had a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 does not have to replace it with newer equipment. We simply in a world that did not make sense.
Samsung knew about it that the Galaxy Note 4 slightly different from its predecessor, has issued so the model Galaxy Note Edge. This equipment was the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with a slightly smaller battery and a 5.6-inch curved on one edge. This solution was not particularly useful and was used primarily for quick launch shortcuts most needed.
Personally, I was not a supporter of his, because significantly increased the price of the phone, it was not useful, and sometimes even managed to disturb when using the equipment. Many times I happened to accidentally hook the curved portion of the display and run unnecessary at a time programs. however, if someone at the end of 2014. want to have a device other than all other available on the market, should buy just the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge.
Previous, 2,015 years was for Samsung time of enormous change. Previously, the Korean unit were considered telephones robust, well-functioning, but made entirely inappropriately for money . these words were quite right. that’s why Koreans have decided to revolution and introduced the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, which were not made of plastic, but metal and glass. These devices can only love or hate. You have to give them one thing: stand out from the crowd. After years of struggle with Apple at the end of this Korean appliances are much nicer than the competition and raise customers’ desire.
I must admit that last year’s premiere two large models of Samsung was a big surprise. While the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + could be expected that it will be clearly referred to the models issued a few months earlier, the Galaxy Note 5 was the great unknown. We expected a completely different business phone, and instead received an enlarged, flat Galaxy S6 with a stylus. this is roughly enough. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 was the model S6 exactly what model S6 Edge was S6 Edge +. a bigger, slightly younger brother. that’s it.
As for the components used here octa Exynos 7422 processor manufactured in 14-nanometer process technology. he had four powerful Cortex-A57 cores, 2.1 GHz and four cores, energy-efficient Cortex-A53 1.5 GHz. with this system cooperated 4 GB RAM and 32/64 GB of flash memory, which could not be extended. The screen device is a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels, of course, covered the latest Gorilla Glass. In addition, the used battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh. The whole operated under the control of Android 5.1. This model is made, that I began to doubt the meaning of existence series Galaxy Note and began to suspect that Samsung just wants to kill his line phabletów.
However, if Samsung is planning to do this, it’s not this year. We know that too on August 2 the market debut of Samsung Galaxy Note 7. What happened to the model Galaxy Note 6, you ask? Well, it was concluded that the series of Galaxy S and Galaxy Note should have the same ticket, to better define the generation equipment. This solution is extremely logical and make the client would be better versed in the market. What do we know about the new device? Probably the Galaxy Note 7 will be bigger brother model Galaxy S7, equipped with several additional components and functions. What exactly? That you will learn from the text of Luke Kotkowski, in which he described unofficial reports dot. Samsung Galaxy Note 7 .
And we can promise that already on release will tell you much more about this hardware, you may see it on the prepared our video. Therefore remember that in August the second finger on the pulse, enter the Spider’s Web and channel Spider’s Web TV on YouTube and together with us to experience the launch of this device. Phabletu, tabfona or just a smartphone, the predecessor to the upside overturned mobile market and proved that large screens is something that is really needed to users.
