Samsung Electronics Co., the world’s second-biggest mobile-phone maker, plans to bridge the gap between smartphones and tablet computers with a stylus-driven product that it says cuts the need for other mobile devices.

The Galaxy Note includes features such as a 5.3-inch display, capturing and annotating on-screen objects with a pen and re-sizable work spaces. The company is in talks with phone companies to market the device, which will reach stores in coming months, Min Cho, senior marketing manager at Samsung’s mobile unit, said at a briefing in Berlin.
