Samsung Note series phones have been taken pretty well by users, and now the company announced the release of its new tablet, or you can call it is phablet Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 in the USA on the 11th of April. The tablet is 8 inches of easy note-making, now with digital ink support. The product is set to compete with Apple’s iPad mini and includes Samsung’s digital S-Pen.
Product specifications are the same as announced earlier in the year with 8-inch LCD with 1280 x 800 resolution, 5-megapixel rear camera, 1.3-megapixel front camera, 2 GB of memory, 16 GB of storage (up to 64 GB microSD expansion supported), Android 4.1.2 with Samsung TouchWiz, A 1.6 GHz quad-core processor.
This tablet is basically a super large size of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Smartphone. However, the exciting part will be to be using the hovering with the pen for drill-down information in various apps on the large screen.
The only issue about the tablet is the price; the product is hitting the retail market at a whopping $399, which is $70 more than the iPad mini. The tablet will be slightly higher in pixel density, have digital pen support, and upgrade the memory with a microSD. So it’s the users who will decide whether to cash in on these features or just let it go and take the cheaper iPad mini. Is the company taking too much of a risk with the price?
