In my previous post about Galaxy Note N700, I had the rear opportunity of appreciating its serious specifications that drastically raised benchmarks for smart phones to a new height. Looking at the manufacturer’s high-end genre collection, I could be wrong, but I must admit, I am adamant about excluding Samsung Galaxy Note N700 as the finest of them all. Although recent releases from major industry players such as Panasonic who have introduced new devices hitting new heights in their main camera megapixels, Samsung Galaxy Note N700 still outperforms them in various segments such as processor power, screen size and screen technology and features. In my previous post, I found it difficult to specify whether the Galaxy Note N700 was a tablet or a smart phone; it has a tablet’s characteristics such as a wider display screen and a smart phone’s features such as call functionality, even Samsung dint clearly categorize this product in their press release.
