Samsung Galaxy Note for T-Mobile is announced officially, coming in a few weeks
After all the leaks and rumors, the Samsung Galaxy Note for T-Mobile has been officially announced by the carrier itself. Phablet fans who are interested will be able to grab one within a few weeks, either online or at select T-Mobile locations throughout the U.S.
In terms of hardware, the Samsung Galaxy Note for T-Mobile is not much different from the AT&T model. Inside it hums a dual-core Snapdragon S3 processor clocked at 1.5GHz, and its 5.3-inch Super AMOLED HD display has a resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels. On its back we have an 8-megapixel camera and a 2-megapixel shooter for video chats is located on its front. Not to be forgotten is the S Pen capacitive stylus, which is ideal for taking notes on the fly. We have to point out, however, that while the AT&T Galaxy Note supports LTE, the T-Mobile variant relies on 42Mbps HSPA+ connectivity.
On the software side, it is nice to see that the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note comes with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, with all Premium Suite goodies pre-installed. That includes the S Note and S Memo applications, which get along really well with the S Pen.
So there you go, folks! Most of the spicy details about the Samsung Galaxy Note for T-Mobile have been unveiled. The only thing missing from the equation is pricing, but we expect to know more on the matter sooner than later.
