Samsung Galaxy Note – With the enormous success of smartphones, personal digital assistants (PDA) came to the state of extinction. Smartphones with their ability to offer innovative features through smart applications are expanding their horizon every day. It became people’s choice for convenience, comfort and quick access.
A majority of operations performed on laptops and other PDAs are being performed through smartphones. For manufacturers it is huge challenge to retain the market share of PDAs when smartphones lures customers. Ardent users of PDAs are in a dilemma of continuation of their association with PDAs or switchover to smartphones.
However, Samsung Galaxy Note gives a second thought that you may not leave PDAs altogether.

Samsung Galaxy Note’s Appearance & Design
Samsung Galaxy Note weighs 178 grams and it stands in between phone and tablet in terms of size. The thin frame helps you slip the device into your pocket. It comes with pixel density of 285 ppi closer to iPhone 4 which comes at 326 ppi.
The contrast can be adjusted to maximum levels as far as infinite levels. As camera lens are not protected they are prone to get scratches. The surface near the speakers is not elevated. Hence, it may obstruct the sound output when the device is kept on a level surface.
This issue is common among all brands. Manufacturers have to address this properly. The microSD card slot is placed in a very inconvenient location.
