Samsung’s massive Galaxy Note mobile has started receiving an Android update, with the upgrade adding in a tweaked keyboard, altered lock screen and plenty of other minor tweaks and changes to the settings.
The biggest change is a “one handed” mode, which skews the keyboard and dialer off to one side, making it easier to press the buttons while holding the phone in one hand, without needing a thumb extension – and there’s now a row of numbers above the QWERTY for easier access.
New browser brightness settings, too. If you own an unlocked Note, the update notification ought to be floating around out there for you right now.

It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
