The biggest smartphone maker in the world, Samsung, is set to release the Samsung GALAXY Note in Asia (and soon Malaysia). Imagine a smartphone that doesn’t really have a classification. One that’s unique, do-in-one device that delivers a whole new experience in a mobile device. One that has its very own world tour (imagine that!) and has impressed users all over Europe. The GALAXY Note is a result of qualitative research conducted by the Korean electronics giant back in 2010 involving over 12,000 smartphone users from 9 countries (US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Korea, China, Hong Kong and Singapore). Samsung found that a smartphone user will generally carry 2.7 mobile devices to meet various needs in web browsing, email, games, music, photos/videos, just to name a few.
The Samsung GALAXY Note features a 5.3″ HD Super AMOLED display, a uniquely immersive viewing experience and input versatility with the S Pen, unmatched performance with its 1.4Ghz dual-core processor, and amazing portability being only 9.65mm thin and as light as 178g. The Note runs Google Android Gingerbread 2.3.5 release.
While we wait for the official unveiling in Jakarta for the Samsung GALAXY Note Asia World Tour 2011, Malaysian can look forward for the GALAXY Note to hit our shores.
The Samsung GALAXY Note consumer roadshow will be on from 11 to 13 November at these three locations:
- Kuala Lumpur: Bukit Bintang Entrance, Pavilion KL
- Penang: South Side, Queensbay Mall,
- Johor Bahru: AEON, Tebrau (next to Harns Bookstore)
