Just before the MWC 2013 which event kicks off tomorrow, Uncle Sam decided to show off their new phablet. The device will feature the same S Pen that is already found on the Note 2 and Galaxy Note 10.1 among other features, and yes, it is also a ‘Phone

The major disappointment about this new device is its 8-inch WXGA display with 1280 x 800 resolution and 189ppi pixel density, when we know as per rumors that the next refresh for the Nexus 7 is will be sporting a full HD display.

What’s interesting about this device are the new out of the box apps supporting the S-Pen, which is a battery-less stylus, using the Wacom digitizer inbuilt into the Galaxy Note display. Samsung offers a combination of its own apps as well as customized third party apps to take advantage of the S Pen.
