The 4G LTE variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note that was announced earlier this month, has geared up for its arrival in the U.S. through AT&T. Drenched in shades of carbon blue and ceramic white, the slab will hit the carrier’s store shelves on February 19 and is slated to go up for pre-order on February 5.
Users who pre-order it this Sunday are expected to receive the device on February 17, that’s two days earlier than the phone goes up for sale in stores. Pre-orders can be placed through the official website or company-owned retail stores. It will require a two-year wireless agreement with voice and monthly data plan of minimum $20 per month.
“The Galaxy Note brings a new level of efficiency to busy customers who would normally rely on multiple devices. This new breed of smartphone helps consumers accomplish more with a single device than ever before. The unique all-in-one experience can simplify daily life while tapping into AT&T’s 4G LTE network to let customers work even faster,†commented Jeff Bradley, senior vice president, Devices, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets.
The Samsung Galaxy Note flaunts a 5.3-inch HD Super AMOLED capacitive multi-touch screen that supports stylus. It renders sharp visuals of 1280 x 800p resolution resulting in better readability. The included S Pen allows users to sketch, take down notes, text or write emails in free-form handwriting, thus adding to the input options. Also, the S Memo application captures the content entered by S Pen and converts it into a memo for easy sharing.
Deployed with a 1.4GHz dual core processor, the Gingerbread based Note comes with 16GB onboard memory that can be expanded using microSD card. Besides a 2MP front facing camera for video conferencing, it is armed with an 8MP rear facing snapper. This slab is capable of recording 1080p videos at the rate of about 30 frames per second. Needless to say, the 4G LTE enabled phone supports communication options like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
The AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note price is tagged at $299.99 (approx. Rs. 14,855).
