To recap
If you’re looking for a phone with an integrated stylus then there’s little better than the note-taking potential of this phone. Sure, its ‘glasstic’ rear and lack of higher refrsh-rate screen are little red marks against its specification, but you can buy the step-up Ultra model if you see that as a problem - although we prefer the smaller price and smaller camera lump of this ’entry’ Note model.
