In addition to tablet line of pen-based Samsung, latest is consistent with the medium-sized screen with pretty good specs of some Galaxy Note 8.0. Measure up to it, or you think there is a value of the cost? Lets take a look at we.
Build and Design
Pretty white plastic case, with rounded corners, the home button on the large private, styling Note 8.0 is a hundred percent today Samsung, look like overgrown version of large-scale Galaxy S III at the bottom.
Straight out of the box, I was a little surprised at how light it was. 12 ounces at (340 grams), large screen, despite having the power of the battery more, it is a lightweight moderately than a lot of 7 inch tablet such as the Kindle Fire actually.
The casing, may the luster too little for the taste of some people, very well, it does not show fingerprints. It is only available in white now, but there is a possibility that it will be changed.
Dissatisfaction personal My only main design is to press if you are using S-pen stylus once and to use the physical buttons for home command little tricky.
Display
Was placed in between the 7 in. "small" as the name suggests 10 inch tablet "large-scale" of what, 8.0 sport, it means the Galaxy Note to the screen of 8 inches. It is much larger than the 7-inch tab, but it is still close to the small side lend a little more portability. Compared inch additional one, the 7-inch tablet, it offers a screen space of about 35% or more users, but compromise option, making it about two-thirds of the offer of what 10 inch tablet still very I called.
Resolution of 1280 x 800, and at 189 dpi, Notes 8.0 is not pushing the envelope in terms of screen resolution by any means, but from having a nice screen's easy on the eyes, it it You will not stop. The worst thing you can say about it, I is that too low brightness settings "automatic" the default is, but in most situations, you're going to set the brightness manually. Because I have enough juice that there is no need to pamper Note battery, I'm not sure why so stingy it. However, you can adjust the brightness manually from the notification pull-down window easily.
Buttons and ports of other
Unlike many of the tablet of Samsung, instead of the old proprietary connector, Galaxy Note 8.0, because I use a micro USB standard plug, you will be able to charge the tablet from the USB plug of your choice. It offers the chargers most common charger Tablet own, but is rated 2.1 amps, two to four times what would be possible without the cables around transporting special just do it It is a good feeling may take a while because there. So you can charge everything from the same power source, the better also for people and travelers who carry multiple devices.
To the right, on the left side between hosts, the device, I have a small cover that protects the microSD card slot and volume control of the power button. Also note 8.0, if you turn on the tablet to landscape, because they are going to be both, it is equipped with a stereo speaker, but both of these are, of nominal tablet on either side of the micro USB port in either the left or right of the "bottom" to what is located. Which does not make a lot of sense to me, but then, I did not design it.
Equipped with a quad-core Exynos processor, 1.6 GHz for under the hood, lack of imagination for speed, Galaxy Note 8.0, not any stretch. The Quadra standard benchmark, beating the quad-core other devices like the Galaxy Nexus 7 at hand, was the average score of 6551 of 4 or more times. It also, of its own Galaxy S3, One X and HTC Note 2, Samsung Galaxy, but enough to beat the high-end smart phones very recent all.
The memory, to come equipped with 16 gigabytes of storage and RAM of 2 GB, does not disappoint either - leaving the user in about 8 things and some other apps that are pre-installed on the fact , half gig out of the box of what it takes much of its storage. It is also a useful microSD card slot for adding something that can not do a lot of competitors to 64 GB of another storage so comes, but it is not too bad.
All in all, it is strange to use Note 8.0. It, smooth fast, reliable, it's powerhouse a bit, you do not even need to think about whether that can before you do it, to do something to it. But, high-speed dedicated shop should not have complained in it.
S-Pen'apuri and Samsung
When it comes to the software side, on top of Android 4.1 on a regular basis, Samsung has added quite a bit of "secret sauce" that. As long as the change of the user interface, power-saving mode, reading mode, blocking mode, multi-window ... you do not dig the information, unfortunately, it is not fully explained many of these.
For example, in the Settings screen, rather than optimize the screen, the "reading mode" How are presented in order of reading. Adjust the brightness of the screen down to look like paper more, it is because of the background, but it was found. Is simple and easy a little "stay smart": front camera to see your face, I will hold the screen with as long as you are looking at the tablet. Do you put it down, turn away, and then clear it. To be honest a little creepy perhaps Which and are impressive. In good light, it is, especially because it works at least. "If you block mode," You, "multi-window" and can be for one set of schedules or manually, turn off the notification alarm and / or once, you have multiple apps on the screen The thing you want to be there.
It sounds too much when multitasking on the tablet, but it's really useful in practice - from S-Pen feature is the main attraction of note 8.0 on more conveniently perhaps. Need half refers to information from another app together you significantly to simplify any situation, when it is occupied by or Google Talk Web browser, for example, look address In order to up, you can run Google Maps on half of the screen, you are planning a trip, and to provide the direction. Talk of running up to 20 apps, only two, publicity materials of Samsung, is visibile in fact at a time. Still, it is the number of times so you can run on the tablet most at a time.
To get the most attention for what Galaxy Note line, function of the stylus are called S-pen, of course. For those who do not use one, it is not like the stylus your average, until you put it in practice, you do not start writing, but it's, S-pen screen from a distance of walk You can be sensed by. The biggest advantage of using this type of stylus is that it is you, sketch, write, and to take notes much easier, that it is much more accurate than most. It even can be what you want to write down convert editable text that, with app comes with handwriting recognition built-in. Unlike stylus other, without inducing a touch screen, when writing, and also to be able to rest the hand on the tablet, it is possible to ignore the other input from the pen itself.
The software package is smaller than many bundled with Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Samsung, but to take advantage of the stylus, application of some professional will contain you. Touch of Photoshop and also included is a idea of Adobe, now, you have not been replaced by the less powerful notebook somewhat S is allowed to take notes from among others, does not allow you to work even pop-up where the S original note app app. However, after it grows in such a way as to display the others exactly what you are looking at easily, and share it through other apps, it uses the pen to "cut out" the part of the screen as shown in the screenshot You can be. In general, I like decent, it evaluates the S-Pen software package in this model, but I think as impressive as what shipping of Galaxy Note 10.1 unclear.
Other software
In addition to the application of S Pen and customize the OS of Samsung, it does not have a whole lot of other software that may be the talk of the note above. Because it means that you do not have to wade through a bunch of non-deletable apps believe you should have the manufacturer you it, Which, mind, you are not a bad thing for you. Google Books, music, TV, movies, talk, etcetera: most of the rest is a complement of standard of Google.
When you purchase the Note 8.0 Dropbox and come pre-installed, capacity of Dropbox for two years will be given to you 50 gigabytes. This works even if you have a Dropbox account existing. Log simply, you will be credited the extra space. In addition, Flipboard pre-installed, was a nice surprise, is: I recently became a big fan of as a customizable news magazine for the tablet.
Are classified as major "Entertainment" category app of the only other most, going to use any of the hardware features of minor note 8.0: Universal remote control. The one aspect of the device, set-top box to be used as a universal remote for the TV of you, you will have a IR port can be stereo. It even managed to set the stereo receiver very vague, all the equipment of pretty fast I - The Peel Smart Remote app, all for TV, set-top box, stereo, etcetera in order to control it It is pre-programmed in the code of the most common. I am a remote control ideal 8 inch tablet, but do not know what a feature that nifty that may come in handy now and then.
Camera
Given the tablet mid-range this, I'm not a little disappointed with the performance of the camera. Also photographs taken with Galaxy Note 8.0, tend to the good lighting, rough, become very loud, in low light, it will drop soon inexpensive smartphone in quality. Is allowed that the camera of the note have not focused as a really important feature, but instead on the device entry-level never any, cut corners like this feel out of place.
Battery life
One of the clear highlights of the Galaxy Note 8.0 is battery life. In normal use, you will not see 14 hours of battery life claiming Samsung probably, 10 hours of claim of tablets it is a conflict is also a fact. In reality, you should be good to exceed a lot of competition, for 10 hours or 9 of average use notes.
Waiting time of the tablets of name recognition in particular. Cause you do not need to worry that you are going to be, the battery will set it in a few days where when it is off, come back to the battery dead, tablet Wi-Fi-only even-numbered for, it is incredibly small - 1 or even dead nearby. January whole - on a full charge of the wait time, in fact, Samsung advertises a whopping 30 days. that can be delivered in 10 days just just 12.5, iPad Mini, the Nexus 7. This may not be useful to most features, but if you use your tablet, it knows that it is not going to be inconvenient seriously forgot to charge it for a few days It's a good thing no doubt.
Conclusion
(Note) 4.0 is a beautiful small tablet Samsung Galaxy, there is no doubt about it. It has unique features some very nice screen, and battery life, great. Unfortunately, it is also a relatively expensive tablet. $ 400 base price, it's one of the most expensive small tablet: $ 200 completely an expensive $ 70, than the iPad Mini Apple to rival expensive than the Nexus 7
It, on these two, such as Dropbox account of 50 gigabytes S pen system of a large premium, extended memory, multitasking, free horribly, but there are several advantages to pay for these features. If you're not interested in the application to and accompanying S-Pen, the high price of the note, you are a non-starter probably.
Pros:
Battery life is excellent
Convenient multi-task control
Stylus is useful very accurate in order to take notes
Cons:
Compared to alternative very expensive
Bad quality of camera
Bottom Line:
Not a but in a good way, price tag not too - very nice tablet that has many features that set it apart from the pack,.
