The Galaxy Note is primarily produced with a black body (dubbed "carbon blue" by Samsung), but bodies of other colours have been made available, including white [25] and pink.[26]
The following performance variants of the Galaxy Note have been made available:
N7000 - The original version, with a dual-core 1.4 GHz Cortex A9 processor
SHV-E160K, SHV-E160L, SHV-E160S — LTE version with higher-speed communications ability, available exclusively in South Korea. Internal specs are similar to the American AT&T version. It is equipped with dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 (APQ8060 1.5 GHz) processor, Adreno 220 GPU and TV support instead of FM radio. The exterior is similar to the international N7000 version on the front (it has the central physical button instead of the capacitative buttons).[27]
SGH-I717 — LTE version released exclusively in the United States and Canada.
LTE version released by NTT DoCoMo, Japan. It is equipped with dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon S3 (APQ8060 1.5 GHz) processor and Adreno 220 GPU. Other specs and design are as same as international version N7000.[28]
Samsung have made available a collection of accessories such as a clip-on screen cover (which replaces the back panel), a docking station, and spare chargers and styluses.[5]
[edit]SGH-I717
Another variant of the Galaxy Note capable of LTE connectivity was released exclusively in the United States and Canada. The variant was first released on AT&T on 19 February 2012 in the US,[29] while being simultaneously released on Telus, Bell, and Rogers on 14 February 2012 in Canada.[30] Although commonly referred to as the Galaxy Note LTE, the official model number is SGH-I717, differentiating it from the original N7000 and the Korea-exclusive LTE variant.[31] In addition to LTE connectivity, Samsung made several modifications to the phone. Externally, the physical "home" button and the two touch-sensitive buttons on the front of the phone were replaced by four touch-sensitive buttons. Internally, the chipset was changed to the Qualcomm MSM8660 Snapdragon, which is significantly slower than the original Exynos 4 Dual 45 nm (4210) chipset.[32] Also SGH-I717 is featuring a dual-core 1.5 GHz Scorpion CPU and an Adreno 220 GPU.[31] FM radio was removed.[32] All other phone specifications remained identical to the original N7000.
