While the pulse of the iPhone 4S is measured on its premiere day in Spain, we can tell you that the competition is already beginning to deploy its weapons in the market for the final stretch of the year. To speak of Apple's competition is to speak of the South Korean Samsung, and at this point, the last major terminal that is yet to arrive is the Samsung Galaxy Note (with permission from the Galaxy Nexus, whose authorship is shared with Google).
The Samsung Galaxy Note will arrive from the hand of the Spanish operators next Monday, November 7. Then, we will know the options that the different companies offer to get this super mobile for a slightly more affordable price of the 550 euros that the manufacturer marked as the official price during its presentation last September.
Despite everything, today it is already possible to get the Samsung Galaxy Note, and also, with the terminal released in order to use it with the operator we prefer. Although we were surprised that the final price that is glimpsed in the first online stores that have this phone in their catalog is slightly higher than what was anticipated when this model was known almost three months ago.
Thus, in Expansys we verify that the version of the Samsung Galaxy Note with internal memory of 16 GB costs 615 euros. The difference with respect to the price that was targeted at the time is largely determined by the costs derived from taxes, and in fact the online showcase itself points out that before applying the tax percentage (without which, the Samsung Galaxy Note would cost us little more than 520 euros).
If we take a look at Amazon Spain, we will find our joy in a well, because once again they show their empty shelves if it is about looking for this product, not so in the British version, where the Samsung Galaxy Note can be obtained by, eye, almost 600 pounds (which represents an outlay close to 690 euros, at the current exchange rate).
Before this first contact with the prices of the Samsung Galaxy Note, one wonders if perhaps it is not convenient to wait until the terminal arrives from the hand of the telephone companies, which will do their part so that getting this phone does not involve a lunge in wallet. Of course, its technical profile well deserves it: 5.3-inch screen with HD quality, 1.4 GHz dual-core processor, one GB RAM and a great autonomy in use of up to thirteen hours.
