Pricey Samsung Galaxy Note hits new highs in benchmarks

06 September, 2011
While the benchmarks scores of this 5.3-inch, dual-core monster are impressive, the pricing isn't.

When reality hits & you add a service plan, I'm sure the Galaxy Note will be $400 or less

        First of all, does samsung have a solution about short-time battery? If you handle with this phone, the battery won't go enough time...
        And other thing is regarding heatin problem... Samsung Galaxy s2' back becomes very hot because of the battery or processor..

            If it has an HDMI out (cannot see it in the spec) and you can connect a Bluetooth keyboard and turn it into a Pocket Computer a la Moto Atrix, then the price will be worth it. I for one would sell my iPhone and iPad to buy a Galaxy Note tomorrow if it was available. The stylus makes it all worthwhile.

            This phone is the first genuine iPhone 5 competitor, assuming the iPhone 5 is simply a faster iPhone 4 with a 4" display and not something totally radical.

              Hey Samsung welcome to luxury era ! Unfortunately although i see you like to play in the big league, this price already surclassed maybe the next iphone 5, but giving that this device has no match you decided to follow the same policy as apple - if you have exclusivity then up the price to this values ! I think i am going to wait for the Ipad 3, i am tablet intended and that i heard will have a 2048 x 1024 resolution, Hey maybe for that kind of money i will buy a super laptop how about that

                Samsung is unnecessarily charging so much for this device! Its gonna end in a same way as dell streak 5(free with new laptop)...lol

                  It seems i have a curse. I always get to pick the most expensive phones. E90, N900, N8, Now this.
                  But of all, this will be the shieeeeet.
                  Just imagine.
                  5.3" 12800x800 (practically a 15" laptop resolution that fits your pocket).
                  I cannot even think about gettin the 16gb version.
                  It's the 32gb for me. Not to mention the 32gb microsdhc class 10 that HAS to go with it.
                  So what if its expensive. It has every right to be, unlike other phones, cough, iphone...
                  And android 4.0 on top.
                  WET DREAM, i tell yah.

                    AnonD-21055, 06 Sep 2011Awesome Specs... But Perfection??? Disadvantages: ... moreResolution has almost nothing to do with power consumption and battery capacity. The problem here is the display size, not the resolution. And I think that 2500mAh is enough.

                      Rocky J, 06 Sep 2011Too high!!! I'll wait for 6 months to lower the price...You don't have to wait 6 months.
                      If it will really be priced at 1000$ when it gets released in ASIA or the Europe, I think 6 Days will be enough for prices to drop 700$.

                          You failed to mention that prices include VAT which is 25% in Denmark, Sweden and Norway and 20% in Finland.

                            Yeah so what? with a 90 minute battery life, that thing is pretty much useless.

                              Well i liv in Finland and its a fact that everything costs about (at least)50euro more than enywhere else.
                              And i rather buy SG NOTE than some fruit shhhh....which doesnt ewen make calls.
                              Now i have SGS2 and it seems that i need to upcrade to NOTE or sell my netbook and change it to TAB 7.7

                                Awesome Specs...

                                But Perfection???

                                Disadvantages:

                                1. 146.9x83x9.7mm, 5.3" Display - While the display Size and pixels is impressive, remember that you will always have to use two hands for operating the phone. Personally I prefer 3.9 to 4.5 Max...

                                2. 178g - Come on anything more than 135g is just too much...

                                3. GPRS/EDGE - Class 12 - A lot of users still use 2G Internet, A Class 32/33 would have been better...

                                4. OS - Android 2.3 - Its already very old. Just hope they plan for Ice-cream-Sandwich 4.0...

                                5. 2500 mAh Battery - 1650 mAh for a 480*800 Screen Itself is not Enough. 2500 mAh for 800*1280???

                                Last but not least...

                                6. Price - $1,100 - That's too much even for you... Even for this Phone...

                                        Let's put an Apple Logo on the back, and suddenly, just like magic, the price will sound low to us...
