All in all, Samsung has pulled together a very nice suite of features. But we wonder a great deal about the efficiency of the Note's general size. We've had an original Note in hand for some time, but after the initial deep dive that goes with learning a new device, we haven't exactly put it through any blisteringly detailed use. Our own biggest problem is that it typically falls short in terms of offering enough functionality to make it a device of choice. And it is simply too large to just carry around as a smartphone.
It will be interesting to see how - or if - sales for the Note II develop. We greatly applaud the "innovation" but we're not convinced the form factor is a winner.
The Galaxy Camera
Samsung next surprised us by debuting a new camera, and specifically an Android-driven camera. The idea of the camera is to marry both video and optical technology with some smartphone capabilities. To date, most smartphones from most vendors (with the possible exception of Nokia) have offered basic camera functionality along with some software capabilities for editing.
Samsung has opted to take a different approach here - start with a very high end camera concept and then add some mobile operating system capabilities to the mix, so that one ends up with a very sophisticated mobile camera. Hence the Samsung Galaxy camera, shown in the accompanying image.
