AT&T has joined the roster of telecoms offering Samsung's popular phablet, the Galaxy Note II. This device has a 5.5-inch screen and comes with apps designed to make pen-based input easy.
This skirts the line between two classes of devices: it is a bit bigger than most smartphones but is decidedly smaller than a tablet. It was designed to function as a phone, and comes with a stylus. This slightly oddball model has definitely found a market, though, as over 10 million units sold in about a month.
AT&T is offering it for $300 with a two-year contract. It's also available from Sprint, T-Mobile, and U.S. Cellular, while Verizon won't introduce its version until late this month.
More about the Galaxy Note II
The 5.5-inch screen on this tabletphone has a 1280 x 720 resolution. It runs Android 4.2 on a 1.6 GHz quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM.
The newest version ships with 16GB of built-in storage, and users can add more space via a microSD card. AT&T's version is able to access this carrier's 4G LTE network.
There's a 3100 mAh battery, plus an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 1.9-megapixel front-facing one.
