Bell officially says the Samsung Galaxy Note is “coming soon”

By on January 30, 2012 at 8:24am in Bell Mobility News, Mobile News


Bell has officially come forth and posted the LTE-enabled Samsung Galaxy Note as “coming soon”. There are no other details on a price or a date, but this is expected to hit shelves “mid-February”. This will come with Android OS 2.3 Gingerbread and Bell states that it’ll be “upgradeable to Android 4.0″ – just no date as to when.

Specs of the Note have it with a 5.3-inch HD Super AMOLED touchscreen display (1280×800), the “S Pen” stylus, a 1.4GHz dual-core processor, 8 megapixel camera that shoots 1080p HD videos, 2 megapixel front-facing camera, HSPA+ and LTE-enabled, Wi-Fi and a 2,500 mAh battery.

  1. Hmm that’s 2500mAh battery looks appealing but is good enough to give this phone with powerhouse specs at least a day of charge? I’m being serious not hating..

    • Well I have the neus and that only has a 1750 battery so a 2500 will give you a lot more juice

  2. @Kid.Canada I doubt it. With a 5.3″ screen and LTE this thing will suck back the juice like crazy.

    The battery life I found isn’t that shabby at all. I’m a reasonably heavy user. I’m not running the lte variant but like Matt mentioned the lte will guzzle. I was reading that it shaves at least 1.5 hours off the Galaxy Nexus battery life. So I suspect it would be similar for any lte device.

  4. I’ve never used a Touchwiz phone. Anyone have any comments? The last skin I dealt with was MotoBlur which was passable, but compared to stock ICS was horrid… Not sure if I should upgrade on my GN (the lte would be nice.)

  6. The only Lte device that currently is “impressive” is the Razr Maxx which houses a 3300 mhz battery – the nexus does not even come close.

  7. it most definitely is a 1.5 ghz dual core, as adam mentioned. The 1.4 exynos processor is not compatible with the lte radios…the only variant of the note that is compatible with LTE is the 1.5 s3 snapdragon. So it looks like the big three will be getting the snapdragon version instead of the exynos version…which makes me happy with my galaxy nexus.

  10. Aw man, I was hoping for it to be an Exynos version :( . I prefer that to Snapdragon. I hope its 1GB RAM as opposed to 512MB. If it were 512MB then big move by Samsung or big mistake by Bell.

    According to GSM Arena, the Snapdragon has 1GB of RAM – http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_i717-4374.php

  11. Also LTE is a waste to have it. Not many places have it yet and if you are not in the coverage area then its a waste. On the plus side, I guess that is good because it’ll use the regular HSPA + data and won’t use a lot of battery.

  12. RE: the 1.5Ghz processor. It looks like the North American version of the Note (Model 1717, no front buton)is the Snapdragon 1.5. See this comparison of the two phones: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4374&idPhone2=4135
    RE: Battery life. Although I’ve been waiting for the “Note” and live in Whitby (no LTE yet). I followed some advice from GSMArena and ordered and received this battery/back cover/KICKSTAND to get the 4500 mah battery etc. It makes the back a little thicker as the battery is thicker but it is the solution I wanted (esp with kickstand). It’s $110 so may be probitive but though users should know as the battery life increases by %80. http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/mugen-power-4500mah-extended-battery-for-samsung-galaxy-note-with-battery-door.html
    Cheers, and so happy the Note is in Canada soon!!!
