Behind the Glass: an in depth tour contained in the Samsung Galaxy Note

While the Samsung Galaxy Note might probably be a behemoth of a phone (or is it a phablet?), momma always taught us that it’s what’s at the inside that truly counts. But first we have to get to understand the device somewhat better. To try this, we once more recruited the certainty and insight of Francois Simond ( Supercurio ) to dive into the circuitry, sensors, and other innards to determine what makes this Note tick. Follow on below to get the within scoop.
