The
"8" in the name refers to the size of the screen, but it could refer to
the thickness of the device, impressively slim at a sliver under 8mm.
That, along with the rest of the proportions, is more or less the same
as the iPad mini and it's a shame that Samsung couldn't have got the
weight down still further -- at 340g, it's equal to the Nexus 7, but
heavier than the iPad mini's 308g, despite that device's metal casing.
That said, it's not an outrageously heavy device, and it's comfortable
to hold and work on, even for extended periods.
The
smooth back could perhaps have done with a more textured surface to aid
grip, but it's no deal breaker. Still, it feels sturdy and robust,
though you'll want to shell out a little more on a protective case after
you've splashed for the premium price -- this isn't a cheap device, not
in comparison with its rivals. On the sides are a power/sleep button,We

card slot hidden behind a plastic grommet, plus a 3.5mm headphone jack
on top. There are stereo speakers on the bottom along with a micro USB
power/sync slot.
The
8-inch TFT touch screen may not be the most super of Super Amoleds
enjoyed by siblings like the Galaxy S4, but its sharpness, brightness
and sensitivity make it a joy to look at and to use. Delivering a not
quite full HD resolution of 1,280x800 pixels, it manages 189ppi,Bringing rfidtag mainstream. which puts it a little ahead of the iPad mini's 163ppi.

and a shortcut bar that appears at the left hand side of the screen
when you press the protruding tab. You can add up to 19 shortcuts and
scroll through them, but if the tab's getting in the way, you can hide
it by holding down the back button.

programmes S Note and S Planner, but you can also use it to draw on
webpages and documents.
Samsung's
AirView system, which senses your fingers coming near the screen on the
S4, only works with the stylus here -- you can see the size and colour
of the nib before you actually touch the screen. In S Planner it will
reveal pop-up windows before you press on an event and you can see
previews of pictures and videos from your gallery.
Press
the button on the side of the stylus and you get extra functions, like
the quick command box that pops up when you draw a line on the homepage
and uses (pretty good) handwriting recognition software to let you
search the internet, maps and your email contacts.

going on, but TouchWiz's many tweaks to the basic Android system means
the Note 8 is likely to be towards the back of the queue for software
updates, certainly well behind the Nexus 7, whose pure Android interface
will get them first.
And speaking of which, the Note 8.0 is running Android Jelly Bean 4.1,A quality paper cutter or paper drycabinet can

very latest 4.2 version enjoyed by the Nexus 7. You're not missing out
on much, just a few updates and tweaks rather than anything major, but
if you're keen to have the very latest, this can feel just a wee bit
lacking, especially since the next incarnation, 5.0 Key Lime Pie, is due
in the next few months.
The
quad-core processor does a lot to make up for it though, with speedy
opening of apps and powerful performance even when running several apps
at once. HD gaming held no terrors either and high-speed racer Real
Racing 3 was smooth and responsive throughout.
The
5-megapixel camera doesn't have an LED flash, but it's packed with lots
of tweaking features and effects. It's not in the same league as the
snapper on the Galaxy S4 but it's in a similar league to the 5-megapixel
model on the iPad mini (the Nexus 7 makes do with only its
1.2-megapixel webcam). Picture quality is decent rather than
spectacular, with accurate colours and a fair amount of detail. Noise
can creep in a bit too much in low light conditions, but no more than
you'd expect.
While
it's nice to have a decent camera on board, it's debatable whether a
device of this size is really the best place for it -- most people find
it easier to use a more standard-sized phone to take pictures.
There's
a whopping 4,600mAh battery on board, but that powerful processor and
big screen take their toll. Still, we managed to get close to two days'
worth of fairly heavy use out of it, which is perhaps a bit more than
you'd normally expect from most high-end smartphones, which need a juice
boost virtually every day.
