Samsung Galaxy Note gets UK Launch Date

Following the recent global launch at IFA, Samsung has today announced that the latest device to join its Galaxy range, the Galaxy Note, will be available in the UK on 17^th November 2011. 

Simon Stanford, Managing Director, Mobile, Samsung UK and Ireland said: “We’re delighted with the overwhelming reception the Galaxy Note has received since it was announced earlier this month and are looking forward to offering Samsung customers a whole new smartphone experience. The Galaxy Note is a great example of Samsung’s passion for innovation by bringing to market a brand new category of mobile products. It is our fastest handset to date and brings together all the benefits of our award-winning smartphone technology and services.”

The Galaxy Note combines the benefits of a notebook with the portability of a smartphone. Thanks to its 5.3” HD Super AMOLED screen, the largest, highest quality display available in any phone, consumers can view movies, photos, and documents, as well as play games on the device with crystal-clear clarity.

Not only that, an advanced pen-input technology called the S Pen and a full touch screen mean owners of the Galaxy Note can easily create and consume more content whilst on the go, with minimum scrolling and screen transitions. With a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, the Galaxy Note is Samsung’s fastest handset to date, combined with HSPA+ enabled super-fast connection means there’s immediate access to content and increased download speeds for streaming videos in real-time or chatting with friends online.

The Samsung Galaxy Note will be available in the UK across major networks, key high street and out of town electrical retailers and online.

Samsung Galaxy Note - Truly Smart [video].

I love the design of the Samsung devices and really hope I can bring you a review of this as soon as it becomes available.

What makes the Samsung Galaxy Note truly smart? Perhaps it's the enormous 5.3" screen and 8mp camera. Or maybe its Super HD Amoled crispness, ensuring you never miss a detail, not even a cats whisker. 

Or maybe it's the minimum scrolling and screen transition, which ensures minimum efficiency when switching between applications. It could also be the 1.4 Ghz Dual Core Processor powering the whole thing. Either way, put all these ingredients together and you have a smartphone like no other - The Samsung Galaxy Note. Truly smart.

Samsung Galaxy Tab - Thinner

This is my favourite video of the three, really liking the look of this device. Thinner Than Ever Before. 8.6mm is not a lot of space to work with even in the best of conditions, but the Samsung Galaxy Tab does what other tablets can only dream of, twice as fast, in the sleek design you've come to expect of all Samsung Galaxy Tabs. Just remember to keep a pencil handy if prying hands are to be kept at bay...

Samsung Galaxy Tab - Faster

Now Even Faster. Make buffering a relic of the past, with the Samsung Galaxy Tab's lightning fast processors handling even the largest of video files with ease. So next time a wayward toddler threatens to erupt, save yourself the embarrassment of a restaurant tantrum and see the Samsung Galaxy Tab's performance for yourself.

Samsung Galaxy Tab -- Lighter

Samsung have produced three videos about their new Galaxy Tab, this is the first one which is pretty neat. Weighing in at a dainty 565 grams, The Samsung Galaxy Tab is as light and portable as they come. Whether you're late for an important meeting or just carrying it around town, the Samsung Galazy Tab will feel like it's not even there -- and you'll never get fired again. Now find us another tablet which can promise that.

Mobile Phone Technology Moving at Lightning Speed

Mobile phone technology is moving faster than ever and now with smartphones available for an affordable price, our phones are doing more and more for us than ever before. Not all smart phones are fantastic though and, as with anything, there are some phones that are better than others. Some are faster, some have better features, some have the best software; there are many reasons why phones are classed as good. Here is a quick rundown of some of the very best smartphones in the world and why they are considered as such.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc

Incredibly impressive hardware and great aesthetics are what you can expect from the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc as the best smartphone from Sony Ericsson approaches a year in the smartphone market. It has some flaws, but the high points make up for it and then some, with the phone's 8.1 megapixel camera being one of these.

iPhone 4

The world's most popular smartphone and for good reason, it has some of the best hardware, including a screen on which the human eye cannot pick out any individual pixel, and some great software as well. Although there are some dual core phones that are now moving past it, this is the best single core phone on the market.

Samsung Galaxy S II

The original Galaxy was great but this follow up is really much better. A dual core 1.2 GHz processor and a great 4.3 inch screen, perfect for watching movies, are just two of the reasons why you should buy this phone. The web browsing, utilising Flash, is seamless and the camera is good enough to use as a digital camcorder. The best phone in the world today by some margin.

HTC Desire

The next Desire is out soon but this is still a fantastic phone and offers a cheap alternative to many of the other smart phones out there. The phone utilises the Android software like no other and is still up there with the best a year after its release.

THE WORLD’S FIRST CHROMEBOOK – SAMSUNG SERIES 5

Samsung, today announced its stylish Series 5 Chromebook, the world’s first Chrome OS notebook built to revolutionize the PC experience with unparalleled speed, simplicity and security. 

Damian Cusick, General Manager Computing, Samsung UK comments: “ With the creation of the Series 5 we are again pushing the boundaries of innovation by introducing an entirely new product category to the notebook market". He goes on to say "This partnership has allowed us to combine Samsung’s design and engineering expertise with Google’s intuitive user interface to provide consumers with a revolutionary notebook to fit today’s web-centric lifestyle.  This product will also open up endless opportunities for businesses already embracing cloud computing.”

 

Elegant Design, Power Performance

With its elegant shape, slim .79-inch body and simple black and white finish, the Samsung Chromebook Series 5 embodies fashion and function. The 12.1” Super Bright display is both anti-reflective and anti-glare for a consistently vibrant visual experience across a variety of light conditions, from outdoors to dimly lit environments. The Series 5 display’s 300nit brightness brings all forms of media alive in vibrant color.

 

Today mobility is a deciding factor for consumers. The Series 5 weighs 3.2 lbs. and has a battery life of up to 8.5 hours, including five hours of video play for all day use without the need to recharge.  The Series 5 battery has a lifespan up to 1,000 cycles, three times longer than conventional batteries, which reduces the need for replacements and proves that environmental consciousness and smart computing can be synonymous. The Samsung Series 5 packs power with an Intel N570 1.66Ghz Dual Core processor, giving you the versatility and performance you need for a one-of-a-kind web experience.

Simple, Secure User Experience

Google developed the Chrome OS with three key factors in mind: speed, simplicity and security. The average out-of-the-box laptop boots up in forty five seconds, by contrast the Series 5 boots up in less than ten. When waking from sleep mode, it’s ready to go within one second. This means that wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, your computer won’t slow you down.

 

The Chrome OS has eliminated concerns about security and data loss by moving everything to the cloud. With nothing stored directly on the Series 5, malicious spyware, trojans and viruses are a thing of the past. If the notebook is ever broken or lost, all of your files are saved online.

 

Web-centric Entertainment, Unrelenting Workhorse

The Series 5 enables today’s digital entertainment lifestyle by simplifying browsing, social networking, application usage and multi-media viewing. An optional VGA adaptor can connect to a second monitor or television, while audio inputs connect to a microphone, headphones or external speakers. The HD Webcam completes the Series 5’s audio-visual package.

 

When there isn’t time for entertainment, the Series 5 can easily get down to business. Productivity is uncompromised with the notebook’s stylish and comfortable island keyboard which delivers performance that can’t be matched by a virtual keyboard. Samsung Series 5 will connect you to your data anytime, anywhere through 3G, WLAN and a 4-in-1 Card Reader. 

Key Specs:

· CPU: Intel® N570 1.66Ghz Dual Core

· Operating System: Chrome OS

· Storage: SSD 16GB

· Memory: 2GB DDR3

· Screen: 12.1-inch WXGA LCD (1280x800), SuperBright (300 nit)
