Amazon is currently offering the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for $49.99. Amazon's price offers a considerable savings over the $299.99 Sprint is currently charging for the phablet in retail stores and online.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is one of the most popular smartphones on the market, and for good reason: Samsung has created what many consider to be the perfect converged device. It offers users a small tablet form factor with smartphone capabilities. The company has also packed in some very popular features and its S Pen stylus adds even more functionality to the phablet. It is an input tool that provides a similar feel to an actual pen by detecting the pressure applied on the screen with great accuracy. It allows users to interact with the device in a more intuitive manner, coupled with applications that have been designed around the use of the stylus.
Some S Pen features include the ability to preview messages by simply holding the S Pen over the message without ever touching its display. The stylus also has the ability to easily capture screenshots and allows the user to immediately annotate articles, create notes on the image, and more. There are also many third party applications that have been created or enhanced with the S Pen in mind.
