And that is, you should first start a small analysis, whether one, anyway belongs to the target group of the unit.
The linchpin is probably at the end, in fact, the size.
For who find fault with the technology of the Galaxy Note anything that bleats, with all due respect, to damn high. Now I see little point in nachzubeten the technical data can be read anywhere. And they have been enough to end up among others in the "Connect" test near the front and "Focus Online" with wide margin at No. 1.
All these plus points I can confirm. The display nothing can match what I've seen in the smartphone sector. Yes, if you tend it until shortly before 180 ° -degree, it gets a green shimmer. But who the heck because his cell phone keeps well in a horizontal position directly in front of your nose? In normal vision, the display has a dazzling brilliance and sharpness. The telephone quality is excellent, a camera like this I have seen nowhere else smartphone (it's the first that I know of, in the dimly lit room still very usable images makes). The sound is impressive, WiFi has a very satisfactory range and websites build incredibly quickly on (and then to look at the display size is a dream).
The pin I first viewed as superfluous (he does indeed disturb the other hand, those who do not want to use him, not at all). Meanwhile, I use it more often. First, it avoids Fingertapsen in the operation, secondly, I find it convenient to use him as pen and notepad. A slight delay until the writing to see, although there - but I do not feel as disturbing. Not so good does predictive text (I think). I claim to have no Sauklaue, but diving but often mistakes in the OCR on.
Whether all now should get a new classification (keyword "Smartlet") I do not see more that way. It is a great smartphone. A tablet is not replaced in my opinion though. For this purpose it would be too small again.
Who is now the target audience?
1) calls should not be the main thing.
While the function works just fine, but the cute little companion to take anywhere, be reached by phone, it is not because of the size. I am particularly road infrequent users and have never found much pleasure in bothering my surroundings with my conversations. Nice to see that it has a phone function, I see the music but more as a general guide, in which the phone is simply a useful extra function in the crowd.
I have it renounce the use of the Internet for mail that I go can see exactly, would like to take the road on the radio, may times quickly edit a website for which I with the high quality camera and photos do (and separate on a digital camera now ). Increasingly, I've been using it as a notepad and even a game of chess or backgammon or play whatever makes finally gone mobile fun. In addition, I now use with it go the e-paper editions of my newspapers. The now is me on a "normal-sized" smart phone really fuzzy. In the note it works well.
Great is the navigation with the touch. The site search works amazingly fast and accurate, even inside buildings. Class for amateur astronomers is incidentally also a stargazing app. Take time out to get the score up at night, stop in front of the sky and get displayed immediately which constellations and stars are the - those are the little extra joy with a large display. Because I know what the right and see not only white dots.
2.) Perhaps one should not be too small.
Thus the score well in the hand and looks not oversized, a not too little body and hand size is quite useful. For me it's more so that my other smart phones are too small (since I have the note even more so). I think it is easily in my hand without being somehow clunky. Whether the device is operated with one hand or not, I was always shooting. I am now times in the possession of two hands and never wanted to apply for a one-handed thumb acrobat me. I also have smaller Phones always operated with both hands, because I would not have taken otherwise, this sweet little key. The touch keyboard is finally one with which I can deal sensibly. For this reason - and because the screen is just a feast for the eyes - I find the note in its size not over the top, but really optimal.
It would, however, recommended that you simply times to paint the extent of the Notes on a cardboard, which is then cut and easy to hold in times of hand. Then one avoids it, to wonder after delivery about the size.
3.) What I wear for clothing?
Sounds like a saudämlichen point, I know. But for T-shirt and shorts, the note is not. But in a jacket pocket inside it fits perfectly and for me it fits comfortably in the shirt pocket. The fills it then indeed made, but it is so nice and light that there were not a bit disturbing. It fits with me even in your pocket - as can be clearly seen, however, then the contours. And it's not everyone likes a highly visible large square in the pants.
Who but inside pockets or shirt pockets has - for which there are no real problems. And if I be reached at the lake in summer time to have to think - all right, but there is really now everyone in a drawer have a used mobile that you can then take.
Ultimately you have to decide precisely:
I want the compact companion for every small pocket? Then you will not be happy with the music, for the market are plenty of other products here.
I want the eye candy of a stunning display and have somewhere space to accommodate the touch? Then buy and enjoy and draufschauen again and rejoice.
