The tablet-phone hybrid was certainly an eye opener at IFA. Not only does it bring a sparkling 5.3-inch AMOLED screen, but it also comes with a stylus – an accessory that never seems to die.

The handset marks a new, as yet unnamed category, for Samsung that sits between its smartphones and Galaxy Tab range.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5.3 price

It comes packing Android 2.3 Gingerbread and, deep breath, 1.4 GHz dual core processor, 2 megapixel front-facing camera, 8 megapixel camera with LED flash, 1080p video playback, 16GB internal storage, microSD expansion up to 32GB, Bluetooth 3.0, WiFi, A-GPS and a 3.5mm jack.

The Samsung Galaxy Note is now showcased on Clove (according to Unwired View) for a mighty £600, which is the same price as the 32GB version of the iPhone 4 when that was first released.

Unfortunately there’s no Samsung Galaxy Note UK release date on the site, but if a pre-order page has arrived, then we should hopefully see Samsung’s latest device this side of Christmas and subsidised by a carrier or two.
