We’re rather intrigued by Samsung’s smartphone/tablet hybrid, the Samsung Galaxy Note, and it’s been announced that it’ll be landing in Blighty as soon as November 17th.
Packing a mahoosive 5.3-inch, 1280 x 800 screen employing Samsung’s Super AMOLED technology, the Galaxy Note stands out from the pack courtesy of a capacitive stylus accompanied by a useful onboard storage bay.
Inside beats a beefy 1.4GHz dual-core processor heart and the latest 4G radios, with generous storage options coming in the shape of 16Gb and 32Gb versions backed by a MicroSD card expansion slot.
Around the back lurks a standard 8-megapixel camera, with a front facing jobbie for video chats.
Running the latest Android 2.3 Gingerbread smartphone operating system, the phone will be available at retailers across the UK and Ireland.
