Samsung Galaxy Note

​Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 made headlines in 2016 for all the wrong reasons: namely, the phones were spontaneously combusting. After a worldwide recall and investigation, Samsung has now confirmed that batteries were causing the fires and outlined new, more stringent quality assurance procedures.

From today, Gizmag is known as New Atlas, and we thought the moment warranted a look back at some of the key developments that have impacted our personal lives throughout our 15 year history. Join us as we revisit the 21st century's most innovative tech products in mobile, wearable and gaming.​​

Samsung's Galaxy Note series has been around for four generations now. Maybe you're hanging onto an older model, and wondering if the Note 4 is worth the upgrade? Or perhaps you just want to see how much the quintessential phablet has evolved through the years? Read on, as Gizmag compares them all.

Earlier this week, we took a look back at the innovation of the original iPad, five years after the fact. But that got us thinking: what's been the biggest mobile innovation in the five years since then? Take Note: it belongs to Samsung.

Samsung put the phablet category on the map with the original Galaxy Note. But with more companies than ever making large-screened smartphones, is the Note still the one to beat? Let's find out, as Gizmag reviews the US (AT&T) version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

The lines between regular-sized smartphones and phablets are getting blurred. The HTC One (M8), which would have been considered a monstrosity just a few years ago, is now par for the course for Android flagships. Let's plop it down next to the Galaxy Note 3, and compare their features and specs

LG's smartphones aren't as popular as Samsung's, but the company has been making some nice mobile devices that go toe-to-toe with those of its Korean rival. Let's take a look at LG's latest phablet, the G Pro 2, and see how its features and specs compare to those of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

Samsung is about to unleash a whole mess of high-end tablets on us. With four Galaxy Pro tablets – the Galaxy Note Pro, Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1, and Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 – to choose from, we thought we'd line them up and take a look at their features and specs.

Planning on putting a new tablet on your holiday wish list? To help you sort through the gaggle of slates out there, look no further than Gizmag's 2013 Tablet Comparison Guide, where we break down the features and specs of the year's hottest tablets.

The Galaxy Note doesn't have a lot of peers. Sure, there are other huge phablets in stores, but few of them have a built-in stylus or the software to support it. So while we're taking a look at the new Galaxy Note 3, why not compare it to one of the best smartphones of 2013, the HTC One?

Compare any two high-end smartphones, and chances are they'll have a lot in common. But the new iPhone 5s and Galaxy Note 3 are about as different as two top-tier "phones" (if you can even call them both that) can be. Let's put the two side-by-side, and compare their features and specs.

If you're going to criticize Samsung's throw everything against the wall strategy, you also have to admit that the company has two huge smartphone flagships. How many other companies have two mobile devices as popular as the Galaxy Note and Galaxy S lines? Let's see how the latest versions stack up.
