My test is Samsung Galaxy Note (subjective notes)

Immediately make a reservation that I usually use his younger brother gio as a phone and ipad instead of a laptop. Interest caused exactly the opportunity to carry one device instead of 2x.

I'll start with the cons.
It is extremely inconvenient to work with him with only one hand. When typing sms with one hand to the part of the keyboard just do not reach your fingers. And to the part of the labels. In general, it seems to me that the ergonomics of the device is very doubtful.

Next - a screen with default settings makes your eyes hurt. Likely in the summer on the sun it is convenient, but I tested the harsh winter days. I had to rummage through the market and look for additional software.

The size of the phone. Walking with such a shovel at the ear down the street is the lot of geek = clown. I was rescued by the wireless headset of my favorite jabra. But this is not a device that you can easily put in your jacket pocket.

Lack of choice of covers and accessories.

Photo and video are mediocre. But I think you need a camera for a photo.

Well , the price is more than some laptops. About ipad silent. And it is not clear, but the price for white (in the sense of body color) is almost 10 thousand higher.

Now about the pros
The screen is Super AMOLED and has a resolution of 1280 × 800. Well, that is, every hair in the photo of your favorite pussy can be seen without considering :) The picture is really juicy. And movies and surfing are pleasing to the eye.

Despite the complete stylus from the finger, the phone works fine. A stylus is convenient to do handwriting in the same preset S memo.

Surprisingly, even with the active use of the battery is tenacious. It lasts for 1.5 days.

As for the system - this is Android 2.3.5. Used proprietary shell Samsung TouchWiz. Icons are bright, understandable. Iron corresponds to the system. So, unlike the younger brothers, the device is very smart.

Very good audio player. The sound is clear. What's in the native headphones, what's in the stereo gammer.

WHAT pleased, in contrast to the ipad, the screen does not slander like that. And no scratches, even small ones were found for several weeks.

Conclusions Yes, it is huge and expensive. But at the same time you quickly get used to its features. If you are not stubborn applefil, then I would recommend to have such a device in the 2 in 1 replacement format.
