At the opening of IFA in Berlin today, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Note 5.3 inch smartphone with a 1.4 GHz dual core processor

Earlier this month, Samsung told us to expect something big. It sure was big. Today Samsung announced the smartphone with the largest available screen size. The Samsung Galaxy Note has a huge 5.3 inch touch display in addition to a powerful 1.4 dual core processor. The Galaxy Note display is of course the eye catcher here, but a 1.4 GHz dual core processor is one of the fastest mobile processor available today. The Galaxy Note is a very light phone. The weight is only 102.4 gram. That is impressive. It is lighter than the current flagship model Galaxy S II which weight 116 gram. Samsung Galaxy Note are shipped with a stylus called the S Pen and S Memo which is a multimedia application designed to record all forms of user-created content.

There really are some facts that have got me astonished! First, I think it's a tablet even if it says it's a smartphone. Second, it's only got 150mb while it could have more than that. Third, I imagine it is a little bit empty inside due to its weight.
So, there will be pants with bigger pockets from now on?  |

I guess it is a mix of smartphone and tablet. But a tablet would have Android 3.1 Honeycomb running. This one has Android 2.3 Gingerbread optimized for smartphones. |

agreed. but even so, I think it has to be considered as a tablet as I don't have a shirt pocket big enough!
maybe this is one for the ladies handbag?

@masseur
I am sure you have a pocket large enough. The Galaxy Note is smaller than an iPhone 4. http://www.esato.com/phones/compare.php?phone=852&cp=622 |

I must admit I didn't look to closely at the size. I just immediately imagined it to be considerably larger.
Amazing how they got a 5.3" screen into almost the same package as the 3.5" iphone.
Now it has my interest

There is absolutely NO WAY it can be smaller than an iPhone4 and still have bezel, some of those Esato specs are incorrect, they claim a 1200mAh batt, but GSMArena say 2500mAh: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note-4135.php there is no way a device with such a huge display can come with a tiny 1200mAh batt, and no way it can be shorter than an iP4 yet same width.
Phone: iPhone 15 Pro Max Black Ti 512GB
Tablet: iPad Pro 11” 2020 Space Gray 256GB
Watch: Series 3 Nike Edition Space Gray

Here's an official video and it certainly looks big in the hand compared to how my iphone 4 looks in my hand.

Well, simple math, 1280x800 screen, with 5,3 inch diagonal, takes about 114,5mmx71,5mm. So Phone is at least this big. Looking at photo, I will give it aprox 134x80 mm. |
