Asus has just launched a monster Phablet with a 6 inch 1080p screen complete with stylus. Clearly looking to take on the Samsung Galaxy Note. It is powered by an Intel Atom Z2560 CPU, with 2GB of RAM and a 1080p iPS display. Like the HTC One and many Samsung Galaxy Tabs, the Fonepad Note has front-facing stereo speakers. It’s also packing an 8-megapixel rear camera and 1.2 front camera.

In terms of connectivity, it tops out out at DC-HSDPA (42Mbps) speeds. On the software side, ASUS is boasting customized pre-loaded apps that take advantage of the bundled stylus.

So what you will likely have is a cheap Note clone. Except its note a Samsung. Would you be interested in this. And is a 6 inch screen too big. As a phone it is but not as a web browser or media device.
