T-Mobile USA today confirmed that it would soon offer the original “phablet,” the Samsung Galaxy Note and promising “an innovative, all-in-one experience that is perfect for work, play and everything in between.”
Consumers are demanding larger smartphone screen sizes. In fact, a recent T-Mobile survey showed 77 percent of consumers prefer a device with a 4.5-inch or larger display rather than a smaller screen. The Galaxy Note speaks directly to that demand with a 5.3-inch HD Super AMOLED touch screen — the largest screen on a T-Mobile smartphone. The device is elegantly designed to handle both business and home tasks with ease.
The T-Mobile version will ship with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich pre-installed along with Samsung’s Premium Suite software.
T-Mobile has not announced specific pricing or availability details, promising only that it will be available in “the coming weeks.” It looks like it will launch just as Samsung is set to announce its successor, the Galaxy Note 2, at IFA 2012 on August 30th.
