The Samsung Galaxy Note has passed through the FCC with AT&T bands

The massive Samsung Galaxy Note with its 5.3-inch Super AMOLED display has just passed through the FCC with support for AT&T 3G bands suggesting its release is just around the corner.

The Samsung Galaxy Note is somewhat of a hybrid device. It is a cross between a smartphone and a tablet which is similar to what Dell tried to accomplish with the original Streak. Not only does the Galaxy Note pack a whopping 5.3-inch Super AMOLED display (with an equally impressive 1280x800 resolution), it is powered by a dual-core 1.4GHz processor and 1GB of RAM.

Android 2.3 Gingerbread is the operating system of choice with Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface riding on top of it. Samsung included two cameras on this monster-sized smartphone; an 8 megapixel camera on the back that is capable of recording video in 1080p HD and a front-facing 2 megapixel shooter. The Galaxy Note is very similar to the Samsung Galaxy SII just on a larger scale.

Not only does the Galaxy Note sport support for AT&T’s 3G bands, it should also be able to access “4G” speeds thanks to HSPA+. Now that it has passed through the FCC, it should only be a matter of time until this supersized device hits the states. Is anybody considering picking up the Samsung Galaxy Note once it becomes available?
