Got big pockets? Samsung’s Galaxy Note headed to AT&T on Feb. 19 for $300
Skinny jeans need not apply. AT&T announced today that Samsung’s massive 5.3-inch Galaxy Note — which was one of the most intriguing devices at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show — will be available in the U.S. on February 19 for $300 with contract.
The Galaxy Note occupies a weird space between smartphones and tablets, but for some it may just be the perfect balance of the two form factors. Pre-orders for the Galaxy Note will start on Super Bowl Sunday, February 5, and AT&T promises that the devices will arrive by February 17 for early birds.
The device features a huge Super AMOLED screen with a 1280 by 800 resolution (so it can play 720p HD videos at full resolution), and it also packs in support for AT&T’s LTE 4G network. The Note also comes with a stylus that Samsung calls the S Pen, which lets you take advantage of its large screen space to scribble notes and draw.
Given that the stylus has gone out of fashion in tech (unless you’re Nintendo), it’ll be interesting to see if Samsung’s advanced take on the tool can attract buyers.
Under the hood, the Galaxy Note is similar to most other modern Android devices. It features a dual-core 1.5 gigahertz CPU, as well as an 8 megapixel rear camera and 2 megapixel front-facing shooter.
