The Samsung Galaxy Note (retrospectively referred to unofficially as the Galaxy Note 1, first Galaxy Note, or original Galaxy Note) is an Android smartphone produced by Samsung Electronics. It was unveiled at IFA Berlin 2011 and first released in Germany in late October 2011, with other countries following afterwards. The Galaxy Note was distinguished by its unusually large form factor—later referred to using the term "phablet"—which straddled the size of the average smartphone at the time, and that of a small tablet: it features a 5.3-inch display, and is the first to be bundled with a stylus branded as the "S Pen", which can be used to navigate the device's user interface, and write or draw in supported apps, and the first in what would become the former Galaxy Note series. It was succeeded by the Samsung Galaxy Note II in 2012.
