At the pace that andriod is moving I wouldn't doubt something similar by next summer.

Aye, Android moves at a fast pace, but it is also necessary to see what harm might be done when things are done in a hurry. Processors need time to develop, and the manufacturers need to think deep. With the above mentioned specifications, it will be hard to put it in one compact device just yet... But since it is already designed, it won't be far off from now.
Though i would still prefer a more compact and powerful 4.3 incher, this won't be a bad thing to own.

Apple_Royally loves this! But it should be 128GB SSD. 4GB RAM DDR3 RAM. MALI QUAD-CORE. A15 3.0 GHZ QUAD-CORE. instead of Rounded corners should be edge-2-edge cut. 450 PPI. 5.5 inch screen. Price $900 dollars

Okay wait you're most probably an ifanboy and you're tell an android maker , Sumsung, what specs should be on this Galaxy Note X. Why don't you go tell your royal Apple to make an iPhone that isn't outdated spec wise upon release date.

This thing isn't a laptop. Go buy a laptop if you need these specs, quad-core, 128GB SSD, 4 gigs of DDR3 RAM.

Okay thats my dream phone right there but it probably will not come out until at least 2-3 years from now. Once again that phone has some fantastic specs to it(especially the quad core and 16mp camera if a phone like that will ever come out in amaerica!).

How big is the actual phone compared with the note 2 I know the screen is 6.3 but with edge to edge is the device as small as the note in actual size. If you put edge to edge on the note 2 how big can you make the screen is what I am really wanting too know

put i never understood why the name "phablet" because it's not a phone and a tablet it's a smartphone and a tablet so why not "smartlet"
6. cfprelude posted on 17 Sep 2012, 13:04 6 0
i dont WANT to pick on your logic but i feel a need to. a tablet already has all the "smartphone" features except the ability to make calls and mobile size...... so really its a tablet and a "dumb phone" or just "phone" together and hence the "phablet" was born.....
9. spookytj posted on 17 Sep 2012, 13:16 1 5
I have been thinking that since another word for tablet is slate, we could call it a micro slate...sounds better than phablet anyway
59. Phaze0085 posted on 17 Sep 2012, 17:39 1 0
I wouldnt even call it a Phablet. It just a really big, awesome phone. But I really dont care what its called as long as its released.
3. TheLibertine posted on 17 Sep 2012, 12:59 6 11
Well, there is a limit to all the good things. We are talking about a phone that does not fit in your pocket.
The specs are sexy, but that is not what defines user expierience.
40. Non_Sequitur posted on 17 Sep 2012, 15:47 0 2
This. I'm a sucker for really big screens and lots of features in my phones (which is probably why I don't have an iPhone), but this is way too big. Just... no. Uh uh.

True, but whats the big deal with putting it in your back pocket?
5. jamhet13 posted on 17 Sep 2012, 13:01 6 1
I want one also. I had the original Note for a while, now I have the GS3. Waiting to get a Note II now.

Personally, a 5", maybe 5.5" bezel-less phone sounds good. Phablets at 5-5.5" are too big to be practical. The point of going edge-to-edge is to have a large screen without a giant phone. Up the screen size, and you kill the benefit. Yes, you have a larger screen, but no one ever complained that phablet screens aren't big enough. People have complained that the devices themselves are huge.

"6.3" Super AMOLED Plus 1080p display, along with other dreamy specs like a 2GHz quad-core Cortex A15, 3GB of RAM, up to 128GB of storage, a 16MP rear camera, 3MP front camera, Bluetooth 5.0, USB 3.0, a 4000 mAh battery, and Android 5.0."
Hmm...let's see for price point of $499 and not $249. We aren't even in need of 2GB of RAM let alone 1GB of RAM. With Cloud technology available 128GB isn't necessary. Added expense to the consumer. 16MP for what? The battery I can see as being a benefit.
The Note2 hasn't even released yet. What is happening is that FanAdroid's are pointing to websites and persuading buyers away from iPhone's to capture Android's interest. These tactics are getting old.

Cloud is like willingly letting yourself be held hostage for life. I would never push any data to cloud as pushing/retrieving all have costs.
43. MichaelHeller posted on 17 Sep 2012, 16:12 1 0
It's also calling for Android 5.0 which likely won't be released until next summer or fall. 2GB of RAM is nice on a tablet, and this is shifting more towards that territory.
Perfectly reasonable comment for your first two paragraphs though. The third one earns you a warning though.

Now this is what I call innovation.
I knew there is a God - the great creator. He is called Samsung.
Tell me where it will be available and I am going to queue already today.
44. MichaelHeller posted on 17 Sep 2012, 16:13 1 0
Of course the creator of this design is called Erica, not God, or Samsung...
57. Peter27 posted on 17 Sep 2012, 17:36 0 0
All please accept my sincere apology.
I think I got this all wrong. I got too excited with design and specs that I did not read the main article properly. Sorry Michael.
I understand now that this is just a concept. Is Erica not Samsung's employee? Who it's it?
Will make sure to read more properly before posting next time.

Just rest assured we aren't going to see such premier designed smartphone, which has premium materials in it, in any samsung phones........... If they use premium materials in their phones then they will loose chunk of their profit..................
20. cncrim posted on 17 Sep 2012, 13:55 1 1
I'm using a note right now and loving it for the screen size but little big for one hand ....... ilove samsung try to push to the limit but 4.5 to 5 inches is best size aymore than that is crazy.
22. cncrim posted on 17 Sep 2012, 13:59 0 0
I love the same spec squeeze it on the present note 3gb ram and fat battery.
21. g2a5b0e posted on 17 Sep 2012, 13:55 1 0
This concept is great & all, but I doubt that even the Galaxy Note 3 will be able match this spec for spec. Kind of makes this concept pointless. We can all already imagine this without someone having to draw a picture of it for us.

if we could see a note 2 sized device with the biggest possible edge to edge screen, thatd be the business.
25. speckledapple posted on 17 Sep 2012, 14:14 0 0
potential but something tells me this would never come to light. The beauty of designers is that we get to dream.
26. xtremesv posted on 17 Sep 2012, 14:17 0 0
It would be nice to have zero bezel but it's not practical for people with spongy hands. Even now if I grab my GS3 strong enough I can accidentally touch the screen. I don't doubt someone would eventually patent a solution for that though.

Irrelevant to the article, made a discovery on play store. Anybody that likes busta rhymes I suggest downloading the new album Year Of The Dragon now because it's free and it's pretty dope, wish I had that note 2 to bump it on lol

i agree with the powerfull device! it is wonderfull!!! the GPU, camera, HD display!
but the problem it is 6.3" it is BAD! just like a tablet instead of smartphone! the right is the 4.5 to 4.8" not HIGHER!!!!!
32. McLTE posted on 17 Sep 2012, 14:47 0 0
What do I think? SLOW NEWS DAY!
What is the definition of a Phablet.. as far as I know it's a phone that's so big, it doubles a tablet.. so part phone, part tablet.
How can you say it's not really much phone anymore? Does it still make calls? Then it's part phone.
41. tokuzumi posted on 17 Sep 2012, 15:53 0 0
Let's hope this just stays a concept. It's cool, and the specs are nice, but my Galaxy Nexus is the largest phone I want to own. My favorite phone I've ever owned, with relation to size, was the Nexus S. It had a large (for its time) screen, and was actually a rather compact device.
45. Zayuh24 posted on 17 Sep 2012, 16:17 0 0
If they can manage to put these internals on a smaller device, wheeeew man the market is going to be in some serious pain lol.
51. Fuego84 posted on 17 Sep 2012, 17:04 0 0
I think that clothing companies should start making bigger pockets! Problem solved it's not that big it still fits in my pockets.
52. darac posted on 17 Sep 2012, 17:05 0 0
6.3 inch would kill third.
5.5 inches with these specs and design would hit the sweet spot and become the ultimate handheld pocketable gadget.
55. Phaze0085 posted on 17 Sep 2012, 17:29 0 0
I would absolutely love a Phablet that size, that would be awesome. I hope Samsung actually makes a phablet that size.
56. luxzy801 posted on 17 Sep 2012, 17:34 0 0
It doesnt look bad at all, however, I think its too early to come out with something that huge. They should push the original spec SGN for a bit and then once they get to the top, drop this in and it should go good, otherwise, its going to sink.
The best example of this is the HTC Advantage X7500 series, great "phablet", but too early to really get moving much, and it died without anyone knowing what it was...

As much as I would love to see this beast now or even in the next month or so, I agree with what you say. Maybe the Note 3 should be the Note X or maybe it should be a side project. I mean, after you make it with a 6'3" screen, it doesnt have to get bigger after that. They can just improve the specs on it.

I'm not a big Samsung fan but damn....that's a sweet-ass looking phone.
64. korean411 posted on 17 Sep 2012, 21:18 0 0
the screen size is most likely the problem. i see the screen size about 5.7ish mark. and i hope it is 3gb of ram but considering that 2gb ram is not hitting the market i assume the ram will say the same but the camera will be over 8 i see 10mp not 16 and as for the fron facing camera i can see 3 but realisticly i think it would be 2. the 2ghz quad core can happen in my opinion. 128gb memory is good but the problem is that 64gb phones hasn't really sold that well since most phones that samsung makes has a sd card slots, and the dual speaks looks good as well. the battery i want it will last for days lolz. Since this is a concept it is nice on what we are going to expect from the galaxy note within the year or 2, but first comes first android 5.0 keylime pie needs to come out first.

whatever its size I will buy this beast!!! SAMSUNG FOREVER!!! :D
