Samsung Electronics America said on Tuesday that the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0
will hit the North American market this Thursday, April 11. It will be
offered through participating offline and online retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy/Best Buy Mobile, h.h. gregg, Newegg, P.C. Richard & Son, Staples and TigerDirect.com. The price? A meaty $399.99.
Sporting an 8-inch WXGA (1280 x 800) screen, Samsung's new Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean" tablet packs an Exynos 4412 quad-core SoC
clocked at 1.6 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. Also
thrown into the hardware mix is a 1.3MP camera on the front, a 5MP
camera on the back, and a microSD card slot allowing up to 64 GB of
extra storage. Dual-band Wireless N connectivity allows the tablet to access 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network channels, if available.
"A mid-sized addition to the Galaxy Note family of products, the
Galaxy Note 8.0 has the power and advanced technology to enable
multi-tasking at home, at work or on the go," the company said. "The
Galaxy Note 8.0 is the perfect size for entertainment and productivity,
with unrivaled multimedia performance in a compact format. The S Pen has
evolved to improve everyday usability with Air View, and Multi Window
now supports more apps to perform tasks simultaneously allowing users to
do more."
The Galaxy Note 8.0 is the first tablet to feature Samsung WatchON, a new search and recommendation service for finding TV shows and on-demand video content. The tablet
also comes with a built-in IR blaster so that it can be used as a
universal remote, and a Multi-Windows functionality so that apps like
Facebook, Chrome and Polaris Office (20 supported apps total) can be
open on the same screen, side-by-side.
The new 8-inch Samsung tablet also features a Reading Mode which
adjusts color and brightness to an optimal level for reading. It also
allows users to customize fonts and themes so that ebooks, magazines,
documents and Web pages are easy to read. All of this is backed by a
4,600 mAh battery promising up to 9 days of usage time and up to 30 days
of standby time.
The Galaxy Note 8.0 will be available this Thursday in white for
$399.99. Optional accessories sold separately in mid-April will include
Book Covers in white, grey, pink or green, as well as USB and HDMI
adapters, and a travel charger that connect via the device’s microUSB
port.
