Hardware Canucks and HardwareLOOK have reviewed the new Samsung Galaxy Note, a large 5.3" Android-based smartphone that features stylus functionality.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • Hardware Canucks:

    "The Note's identity crisis actually turns out to be beneficial since its unique characteristics cater to an emerging market of people that need connectivity and tablet-like features bundled into a single device. Samsung has been able to offer up innovative features, a near seamless integration of the S Pen into every corner of the OS's applications and a near limitless number of options into a device that is as portable as it is useful. Furthermore, despite its faults, the S Pen is well integrated into the OS instead of being the afterthought we had seen with many other devices. Just remember to get one in your hand before laying down any money since its uniqueness may not translate all that well for some users."

  • HardwareLOOK:

    "However, this doesn’t stop the Galaxy Note being what it is, and would it is, is a luxury is portable gaming, video and image capturing, among other applications that have been mentioned. The Samsung Galaxy Note may seem an attractive model to you personally, and don’t get me wrong it is a super fast, very clear, crisp, sharp and vibrant smartphone phone. The only thing to get passed is it for mentioned size. If this doesn’t bother you, then we definitely recommend the Samsung Galaxy Note. But for those looking for a new expensive smartphone device, who haven’t immediately set their mind on buying the Galaxy Note, we would recommend that you perhaps take a look at something may more to a guaranteed satisfaction, such as the Samsung Galaxy S2 model, or the upcoming Galaxy S3 model."

Although it was initially met with derision from many of in the tech industry, largely for being too large, Samsung just announced that they have sold 5 million units so clearly there is a market for larger smartphones.
