The Evolution of Samsung Galaxy Note

September 4, 2014September 4, 2014 Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

Samsung pretty much started the “phablet” category by initially offering the Galaxy Note a few years back. Throughout the years the company has been releasing successors with bigger displays and better performing internals. 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.

Display

One of the prominent changes in the Note’s lineup is the display. The first Galaxy Note started with just 5.3 inches with HD graphics and 1280 x 800 resolution with 285 pixels per inch (ppi). It was then partnered with Corning’s first-ever Gorilla Glass to reinforce its Super AMOLED display.

The next iteration, the Galaxy Note II, got bigger display at 5.5-inch with the second version of Gorilla Glass. The Note 3 then went bigger and stretched it to 5.7-inch and was protected by Gorilla Glass 3. The company also gave it a Full HD display for the first time.

The very first Samsung Galaxy Note.

Finally, with the Note 4, we get the same 5.7-inch screen but it’s now equipped with Quad HD resolution of 2560 x 1440. It still got the latest protection from Corning while keeping the same Super AMOLED technology. From the first Note with 285ppi, the Note 4 now has 513ppi – almost double the pixel density!

Processor

A good display is certainly nothing without good processing power. 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.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2

For the first iteration there was the dual-core Snapdragon CPU clocked only at 1.5GHz and a 1.4GHz Exynos dual-core variant. Fast forward to three years later and we now have the latest Snapdragon quad-core processor at a blazing 2.7GHz and a 1.9GHz octa-core Exynos CPU.

Features

One feature that sets apart the Notes from other phablets is their S Pen functionality that makes working easier. It has been one of the selling points that remained unchanged throughout all versions. With the Note 4, the company claims that it is now more responsive and precise than ever before. Additional functions that appeared first on the Note 4 are its fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor as fitness trackers are slowly gaining popularity in the market.
