Samsung Galaxy Note

A Device Designed For Giants and Women

It’s too big. The phone is 5.3 inches, that’s 15cm by 8cm. it’s too huge to be a phone and it’s too small to be a tablet. Unless you have really big hands (and head), it’s awkward to hold and it’s awkward to look at when you’re holding it to your ear. But I’ve figured out how this neither here nor there device can work for some people.

1) Giants

If you’re 6’ 6” and taller, I’m guessing your hands are ungodly huge, and would fit nicely around the Galaxy Note. Your pants are probably huge too, so it’ll fit nicely in your pocket. That means yes, you can use it as a phone.

2) Women

The Galaxy Note fits nicely in handbags (Americans: purses), even small ones. This way she can carry the device all over the place and not feel uncomfortable and embarrassing like men would. That is if she doesn’t mind speaking into the speaker phone for calls.

Designing a phone that’s not targeted at the young adult male is always a risky venture. But for now Samsung note hype and marketing seems to be striking the right note.
