This is the phone that started the large screen craze and brought the stylus back to life.

      That time when people making fun of your big phone. Now, we make fun of people using tiny weeny 5 inch phone.

        My first android phone and first note. Not perfect but great phone at the time,

          i miss rgb amoled ;_;

            The Grandaddy of the phablets.

            I still remember the feeling of opening the box and seeing the 720p amoled screen, IT WAS HUGE!
            The S-pen was an interesting addition and I grew to like it as I have always had an issue with inputting text on a glass screen slab (All hail BlackBerry).

            This was the first phone I had which contained 1 GB of ram and believe me, this phone out of the box was the fastest phone on the market at that time.
            Picture using the Oneplus 3 with 6 GB ram and a Snapdragon 820 after coming from any other mid range phone of the day and you will get the picture I'm trying to paint

              I've honestly always wanted to buy a Note series phone, but I simply don't want to spend that much on a phone and I also prefer compact phones.

              I had a choice: Note 8 or S10e, both brand new and at around 450 Euros - I went with the S10e.

              Maybe in the future I'll get myself a Note series phone eventually...

                And today every single phone is just basically a phablet
