The next big thing to hit the tech world is few weeks away. It’s the countdown to the release of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy Note Edge phones.

The note series of cell phone devices are called phablets. A phablet is an integration of a phone and a tablet into one device. The characteristic feature of phablets is usually their large screen displays.

Samsung released their first Note device in 2010. Back then, competitors in the market made fun of them. It was not long before they started imitating the Samsung trend. There have been transitions for the Note phone, from the Note 1 to the present one about to be released. I’m not the best person to do a review for the phone. There are tons of reviews already on YouTube that you could go watch whenever you want.

My whole point is if you’re part of the masses disappointed by Apples iPhone 6 and 6 plus, then the Samsung Galaxy would be a good device for you. It’s certainly worth the money you’d pay for it. The Note would not bend should you keep it in your pocket. How remarkable the device is, I cannot overemphasize. If you’re tired of carrying a phone and a laptop or a tablet, the Note would save you all that trouble.

In the tech world, there are leaders and there are giants. Leaders take inspiration from giants. Change makes you realize there could be easier ways of doing thing. The Note 4 and Note Edge phones are the pacesetters in a new dimension. Watch out for them!
