There's no question that Samsung's Galaxy Note is big
But despite its huge size
It actually feels a lot slimmer than the previous version. Samsung's reduced the bezels on the latest version of the Note
So that despite a larger 5.7-inch screen
The footprint remains almost identical - and it still measures up at just a slim 8mm thick. Despite its size
It doesn't feel hefty at all
Although it'

DESIGN AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS
At first glance
The
Very big
Cheap faux leather back
Not cheap
Mostly aesthetic
Frustrating and clumsy Touchwiz user interface
Ugly faux leather backplate
Cheap-looking design
Ugly design on phone rear and most of the S Pen stylus features are pointless
Skeumorphic physical design will not be to everyone's tastes
Enormous size will be cumbersome for most
Expensive
Camera doesn't impress in low light
Vast amounts of settings will be confusing for Android novices
Nothing new to shout about
Niche product.
No stunning new features

Jury is out on the plastic/fauxleather combo
Large size not for everyone
Samsung phones are often derided for their plastic construction - it may be more durable than a HTC One Max or an iPhone 5s but pretty it is not. To make matters worse
The glossy back cover is gone
Instead
There's a dire faux-leather back piece that gives you a little bit more grip
But still feels cheap - especially when you're peeling it off to insert your microSD or SIM card. The phone's ov
Mediocre camera in low lighting
Speakers
Low volume/quality
Still too big for constant one-handed use
Design and build could be more premium
Wireless charging without the extra cost would have been nice
Speaker could be better
Colours can be oversaturated in video and photos
Too much Samsung bloatware
Poor low-light camera performance
Complicated to use
S Pen still doesn't feel like a must-have feature
Abundance of added features will be overwhelming for many
Brilliant screen, Featurepacked SPen, Excellent for gaming, Ideal for watching movies, Great battery life.
Uncomfortable for singlehanded use, Feels too plasticky, Boring design, Overwhelming UI, Camera could have been better

Proprietary charging port, Plastic body, Not compatible with TDD LTE
