Amidst its growing smartphone and tablet market, Samsung made its debut in the mini-tablet segment with the Galaxy Note. What would you opt for a all-in-one mini-tab or smartphone and tablet?

Samsung Galaxy Wars: the S II vs the Note vs the Tab 730

Last year in October, when the tablet fire was raging on, Dell tried surpassing an untouched territory of the techville. The company wanted to fill in the space between a tablet and smartphone. Irrefutably, the Dell Streak didn’t live up to the hype and so did the scope of similar 5-inch tablets making it big. Now, about a year later, Samsung explores this space. Looking at the Galaxy Note and its attributes, one can easily say that Samsung has stepped in well prepared, and the Note cannot be termed as yet-another-wannabe device. 

Samsung already has a slew of high-end smartphones and a handful of tablets, which are doing pretty well (ask Apple!). The Note bridges this gap to create a niche market for audience looking for the best of both worlds. This mini-tablet, if we may say so, (obviously sounds better than an overgrown smartphone) isn’t the right fit for your pockets, but eventually it’s portable enough to be carried and less space consuming than an average tablet.

What's your pick - smartphone and tablet or a all-in-one mini-tablet?

The question is would users buy a smartphone and a tablet or replace both by opting for a single mini-tab? In such a case, the Note has some mighty in-house competition besides the fierce market outside. We decided to clash it against its cousins, the Samsung Galaxy S II and Samsung Galaxy Tab 730.
