SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 8.0

matabelalang

A couple of days ago we had told you about two new 7-inch devices from Samsung - GT-N5100/GT-N5110 which  were up for DLNA certification. Inferences drawn at that time was that these were Galaxy Note devices, based on the model numbering pattern, and that Samsung was probably looking to position these devices in the 7-8 inch space. While the actual name for these devices is yet unconfirmed, it appeared that one of these is a WiFi only device, with the other having WiFi + 3G capability. Other than that no other information could be determined.

A leaked UAProf (User Agent Profile) of the GT-N5100, has now surfaced on Blue Ringer Men, which seems to throw up some additional details on the GT-5100 device. The rumored Galaxy Note 7, or 7.7 ? GT-5100 seems to be sporting a WXGA display with a 1280 x 800 pixels resolution. Considering full-HD displays that are cropping up in leaked reports as well as in confirmed announcements for devices like the HTC J Butterfly, Verizon Droid DNA and the Oppo Finder 5, WXGA seems a bit dated now for a new device, especially coming from Samsung who have been pioneers in display tech. But anyway, that’s a discussion for another day.

The OS seems to be most certainly Android, but there is no visibility on whether it is Android 4.1, or the latest flavor Android 4.2 which is coming with recently announced devices like the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 10.

All we can say at this point is that the market for well-made and well presented Android devices is huge, irrespective of the size of the device, and if Samsung is upto a couple of new Note devices, they sure as hell will be interesting, and we will keep you posted as soon as we find out more.

Kalau Samsung ada keluarkan Galaxy Note 10.1 dan pelbagai versi tablet seperti Tab 2 7.0 ...  mesti Note 7 atau 7.7 akan dilancarkan ... KITA TUNGGU AJE KEMUNCULANNYA ... sama ada realiti dan khabar angin aje

Ah, traditions, such a wonderful thing! Samsung used last year's MWC as a stage to announce the Note 10.1 tablet, so it was only fitting for us to see another Note device at MWC 2013. Enter the Galaxy Note 8.0, which will proudly take the empty seat between the Note II and Note 10.1 as a compact tablet designed to be used with a special stylus, which Samsung lovingly calls "S Pen."

To tell you the truth, this was probably one of the worst kept secrets of our time, as practically everyone knew what Samsung was to unveil here in Barcelona. Anyways, let's get right down to it!

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0's design language is obviously inspired by the Note II, as it has the same rounded corners and overall elegant styling. The device is quite thin, as we'd expect from a modern Samsung device, and the casing is made from the familiar glossy plastic, which might be a fingerprint magnet, but feels very good to the touch.

The front side is dominated by the 8" display, which has a resolution of 800x1280 pixels. The display isn't bad, but the 189 ppi pixel density leaves a lot to be desired. Still, it's a bit better than the iPad mini's 162 ppi, which can be seen as a direct competitor to the Note 8.0. Oh, and by the way, it's an LCD screen, so don't expect the super-dynamic visuals found with Samsung's AMOLED-powered devices.







Always a key feature of the Note series, the S Pen is once again present in the Note 8.0 to allow you to easily take notes, or even do some basic drawing. The size of the pen is quite similar to the one inside the Note II, which means it's quite comfortable to hold, although it probably would have been even better if it was just a tad bigger. Anyways, the S Pen stylus seems to work very well and it's once again pressure-sensitive. We did run into some trouble when trying to write with the stylus touching the screen at an angle, but we should keep in mind that what we tested was a pre-production model, so this may be fixed in the retail one. We'll know for sure when we get our final, retail unit for review.

The tablet is equipped with Samsung's Exynos 4 quad-core processor, clocked at 1.6 GHz, and thankfully, this tried and true piece of silicon is capable enough to keep the Note 8.0 moving at a steady pace. Throw in 2 gigs of RAM and you can be sure that it'll be pretty hard to slow this device down. Indeed, while we were testing the tablet, we found the UI to be very smooth.

Samsung's Galaxy Note 8.0 will come in 16 and 32 GB flavors, but of course, being a Samsung device, it also features a microSD card slot allowing you to easily expand your storage.

Samsung is doing a marvelous job lately with the software on its devices. New models are always coming with the latest version of Android, and subsequent updates for the top models are usually issued on time.Unfortunately, that isn't quite the case with the Note 8.0. The tablet will come with Android 4.1 and will get an update to 4.2 afterwards. That's not such a big issue, because Android 4.2 didn't really introduce anything groundbreaking.

Sadly, Samsung isn't ready yet to reveal any specific release date information, and the same goes for pricing; however, we know that the Note 8.0 is scheduled to launch sometime in Q2 2013.
