South Korea’s Samsung Electronics said it had launched a super-size version of its Galaxy Note smartphone, the latest salvo in its battle with Apple for the multi-billion-dollar handheld market.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Galaxy Note 10.1<\/strong>, which went on sale on Monday in Germany and the United Arab Emirates, is almost twice as wide as its predecessor and is almost the size of a tablet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The release comes as Samsung tries to make inroads in the tablet computer market<\/strong>, which is dominated by Apple’s iPad, while the two electronics giants are also engaged in a bitter court battle over patent infringements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The firm said the new Note would be officially released in the US on August 15 and sometime next week in Britain and South Korea.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Galaxy Note 10.1 — powered by Google’s Android software — features a touchscreen which is 10.1-inches (25.6 centimetres) measured diagonally, considerably wider than the 5.3-inch screen of the previous Note.<\/p>\n

Like its predecessor, it comes with a stylus called the “S pen” to write notes or draw on the screen.<\/strong> The new version allows users to split the screen in half to view two programs at once.<\/p>\n

The new device is equipped with a quad-core processor that allows users to run multiple applications at a faster speed than the previous version, which had a dual-core processor.<\/p>\n

“The advanced technology and features included in Galaxy Note 10.1 give users the power to produce, create and customise communications,” JK Shin, the chief of Samsung’s mobile unit, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Samsung — the world’s largest smartphone maker by shipments — in November introduced the first version of its Galaxy Note<\/strong>, a device positioned between the firm’s flagship Galaxy S smartphones and Galaxy Tab tablet computers.<\/p>\n

Samsung and Apple are embroiled in legal battles in 10 countries worldwide over patents for smartphones and tablet computers.<\/p>\n

At an ongoing major hearing in San Jose, California, Apple is seeking more than US$2.5 billion after accusing the Korean firm of infringing designs and other patents.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Samsung denies this and counter-charges that Apple infringed its patents for wireless communication.<\/p>\n
