Root Samsung Galaxy Note

The Smasung Galaxy Note has been on the street for a a couple of days now and since it has a huge display its just natural that a few people are happening to want to root it to get the most out of this phone/tablet. We’ve highlighted a few impressions from the device but if you’re after the rooting guide directly resource scrolling down its the first video of many! The AndroidNZ guys have too put together a nice comparison with the Samsung Galaxy SII and display off how to pair up the phone with every little thing but the fridge.

The Samsung Galaxy Note has a 5.3-inch Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of the whopping 800 x 1280 pixels (WXGA), resulting in pixel density of 285ppi. It also stands out with its built in stylus and apps supporting pen input. Under the hood, a Samsung 1.4GHz dual-core chip powers Android 2.3 Gingerbread skinned with TouchWiz. The Galaxy Note as fine sports an 8-megapixel rear camera capable of 1080p video recording, while up front there is a 2-megapixel shooter.

The screen is superb, truly bang-up, yet in spite of the use of pentile matrix. If you peer at the display at an abnormally close scope you will learn the hatching pattern characteristic of pentile screens, but for most group in normal use I don’t truly consider this will be an issue (that said some group won’t be able to stop noticing once their eyes have fastened to the hatching once, so I’d yet recommend getting an ‘eyes-on’ the device to be absolutely sure that pentile matrix won’t become irksome). But over all the Super AMOLED variety, measuring 5.3 inches, and sporting a massive 1280×800 pixel resolution (equating to a DPI of around 285). It has all the usual display characteristics we’ve come to expect from Super AMOLED displays – infinite blacks, amazing opposition ratio, near master viewing angles, and super saturated colours

The Galaxy Note too benchmark’s well, and in general use feels truly superb too, but it can’t (yet) match the fluidity of the Galaxy S II, but then that’s hardly surprising when the Galaxy S II just has to drive about 37.5% of the number of pixels that the Note is managing.

One thing to watch out for on this handset is the rear-ward facing mono speaker, and it’s not ideal from the point of view of projecting sound when looking video. even worse, in the case of the Note it outputs a somewhat quieter and tinnier sound compared to the Galaxy S II, that runs counter to expectations in a bigger and heavier device.

The Samsung Galaxy Note has great form quality but the 5.3″ display is huge, so it would be finest to go hands on with it you to learn if you can handle it. You truly need to see it to realize and the video’s below go along means to getting the point across:
