Samsung is regarded as one of the best smartphone manufacturers in the world. In Ghana, most people do not respect your smartphone if it is not made by either Apple or Samsung.
Samsung has produced several series of phones which have a long line of models each. In this article, we will be looking at the Galaxy Note series from the first Note model to the last.
Galaxy Note
The Galaxy Note was the first model spawned in 2011 in the long Note line. Samsung was able to ship a whopping 10 million units when it was released.
It came with an Android 2.3 which could be updated to 4.1 and the Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 processor for North America while other nations were given the Exynos 4210 processor.
It had a 5.3” HD display, which was one of the largest at the time, along with its stylus.
Galaxy Note 2
Unveiled in 2012, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 was able to sell over 3 million units within the first 3 months of its release.
It had a curvier and more ergonomic design and was slimmed down in some places to avoid making it look big.
It also came with the stylus pen found in the original Galaxy Note. This was also the first phone with a split-screen feature that allowed you to use two apps at the same time with one app on top and the second show at the bottom.

It had a much faster processor compared to the previous models and had an all-glass body with an emphasis on ergonomics.
It was the first note model which did not have a removable battery and eliminated the memory card slot, which was a bad idea.
The spring-load S-pen assembly could also break if it was inserted the wrong way (mine suffered this flaw). Despite all these, note 5 still managed to break the series’ sales record.
Galaxy Note 7
The number 6 was skipped in favor of reaching the number 7 early as Samsung launched the note 7.
It was the first mobile with a USB-c connecter. The memory card slot also returned with note 7.
The S-pen on Note 7 came with some amazing features such as translation, screen magnifier, and could record GIFs as well.
The note 7 could also be used for making payments with the iris scanner which came with the Samsung pass.
The pre-order demand in South Korea was higher than expected. There were however reports of the phone sometimes overheating and then catching fire and exploding.
Due to this, its production was discontinued barely 2 months later. There was however a refurbished model that came out later and was called the Note 7 fan edition.
These had smaller batteries and a host of safety features.
