Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, Tech Specs and First Impressions


As a phone, Samsung Galaxy Note might have met the expectations of many for a bigger of screen. Then you have a bigger note coming to your way this month; the device would be called Galaxy Note II. But I’m sure; there may be many who implore for the luxury of a much bigger screen that can give better viewing experience and better utility space than a Note or Note II. The answer is Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, which is the tablet version of former Galaxy Note.



                                        

So let’s find out what the device has on offer for us.
The Hardware Specification
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 boasts of a 1.4GHz quad core processor which sits pretty on the Exynos chipset. For a graphics enthusiast the Note has Mali 400MP GPU. That is not all folks, the CPU is seconded by a 2GB of RAM.  
In the camera segment the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 comes equipped with a 5MP autofocus camera with LED flash. And to spice up the matter the device houses a 1.9 MP camera on the front side of the body. The humongous 7000 mAh battery of the tablet is also an eye catching specification. Though, the non-removable aspect of the battery can be fathomed as something disappointing.

Now display, it is conspicuous from the name itself that the Note is going to hit the retail shelves with a screen size of 10.1 inches. The SuperPLS screen of the Note has a thundering pixel resolution of 1280x800p. The TouchWiz user interface adds gliter to glory.
In the storage capacity segment the Note 10.1 comes in three avatars: 16, 32, 64GB; and to make it even better there is 64GB memory enhancement capacity endowed to the device. In the connectivity arena there is MicroUSB, Bluetooth, 3G, and Wi-Fi connectivity. There are plans to upgrade the device with 4G capability towards the end of the year.
S Pen Functionality
There is no need to clarify that the Stylus in the Note series is called S Pen. The S Pen makes the experience of using text and graphic together amazing. The demo in the video speaks a lot about that. The Samsung Galaxy 10.1 will be appearing preloaded with lots of Adobe Photoshop apps which are customized specially for the S Pen.

Features
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 comes with ICS 4.0, which by all means is a state of art OS but the fact that the Tablet does not come with the latest Jelly Bean is a little irritating to the eye. The tablet is full of different sensors like Ambient Light, Gyroscope, Compass / Magnetometer, Accelerometer. Then there is document viewer/ editor on board. You have voice memo, predictive text input, Java, SMS, MMS, Email, IM, Adobe Flash Browser. Then there are different kinds of format support for audio and video support.
The Final Words
In all my sincerity, I deem this device as something that will redefine the phrase technical prowess and at the same time it will not be compromising with the user friendliness. Thumbs up, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. Virtuoso.

Finally, the time has come for the rumors to take a corporal form, till now the GalaxyNote 2 was merely a rumor, a very hard proposition even to believe; but the Note 2, according to some very reliable sources, is now official.

All the specifications of the phablet have not come to light but the Note 2 seems to be few steps ahead (if not many) of the existing Galaxy Note. Let us have a quick look at the most perceptible changes in the newer note.

As expected the Note 2 will be bigger in size than the Galaxy Note (whether it was necessary or not remains to be a point of argument). The size will be 5.5 inches this time 0.2 inches more than the Note. Then it is also conjectured that this time the RAM is going to be 1.5GB, which was 1GB in the Note.

Unlike the existing Note, the Galaxy Note 2 will not be a region specific 4G LTE handset; but in a country like India where 3G is region specific the feature seems to be a little redundant. Then if you are a credulous person you might believe that the Note 2 will be coming to light with an Exynos 5250 CPU built on ARM Cortex-A15 processor architecture.

The camera of the handset is still in the dark, some say that it will be the same 8MP camera whereas some pundits surmise that it will be somewhere between 10 to 13MP. But one thing is clear as daylight that it will house a front facing camera like its elder brother.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will come preloaded with Android ICS 4.0, no Gingerbread to start with like in the existing Note. Indian Independence Day will come as a judgment day for the Note 2.
