galaxy note family

Samsung pretty much started the “phablet” category by initially offering the Galaxy Note a few years back. With the fourth generation Note just announced yesterday, let’s take a quick trip down memory lane and look back at how the Galaxy Note started and developed their participation in the phone-tablet hybrid scene. The first Galaxy Note started with just 5.3 inches with HD graphics and 1280 x 800 resolution with 285 pixels per inch (ppi). The next iteration, the Galaxy Note II, got bigger display at 5.5-inch with the second version of Gorilla Glass.

The Note family has been known to provide more than one version of CPU varying from their own Exynos system and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chip.
