2. Samsung has just released its latest version of the tablet, the Galaxy Note 10.1.
On the surface, this tablet may seem similar to the slate but the Galaxy Note
10.1 has additional features and it also has a stylus. This means that now you
can jot down anything instantly and prepare notes wherever you are.
Nonetheless, the similarity of the Galaxy Note 10.1 to its other version in the
form of the Galaxy Tab 2 is very high but with the Galaxy Note 10.1 you have
the ability to store the stylus within the tablet.
Find out more about this new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 here:
Stylus
The Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet is said to be redesigned but you will still find it
similar to Galaxy Tab 2 if you have owned the Galaxy Tab 2 before; the main
physical difference being the change in the rear design of the tablet.
If you flip it back, you will find the surface glossy. Another interesting thing
you will notice is that this new tablet has a stylus called the S-Pen. This S-Pen is
kept hidden in the device on the right bottom where it is secure from any
damage. This stylus is capable of sustaining 256 levels pressure sensitivity.
Together with this new input device in this latest Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet is an
application called Formula Match. Formula Match is very good, especially for
students and people who need to work with formulas as it allows conversions
and recognition of formulas that are handwritten by you.
You can also use it to access the database of Wolfram Alpha for additional
information on the formula you entered. As such, by using the S-Pen you can
easily access the online information and validate your formula.
The Stylus is also smart enough to know that you have removed it from the slot
of the tablet and it will instantly acknowledge this action. The specifically
designed apps for this stylus enable advanced functionality and you are able to
use it for data input. On top of that Samsung has also included an app to utilize
the functionality of the Adobe Photoshop Touch app.
The screen
The screen size of this tablet measures 10.1 inches this makes it convenient to
jot notes, scribble or input other content using the S-Pen stylus. It also has a
feature called Multi-screen which enables you to run multiple apps on the
screen within the windows frame mode. The apps are clear and easy to use as

3. the 10.1 inches screen is big enough to accommodate them. More apps designed
for this functionality are being added right now.
Features
Weighing in at 600 grams and 8.9mm thickness with support for 3G, this tablet
is relatively chunkier than other Android devices but then again this is a
personal preference. Some people do not like tablets that are to thin as it makes
holding them not so easy. The reason for its thickness might be its 7000mAh
battery but I have no complains as the performance of the Samsung Galaxy
Note 10.1 is very good. For a device of this size with a resolution of 1280 x
800-pixel makes it very comfortable to view at any given angle.
Processor and apps
This tablet runs on Android 4.0 i.e. the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) along with
the technology of TouchWiz interface. If you are looking for proprietary apps
and colorful icons then you may find it similar to its predecessor. Powered by
1.4 GHz quad-core Exynos processor and has a RAM of 2GB. You can easily
make calls and even text without any trouble. The apps loaded on the tablet are
quick to respond to touch. Other features include a 1.9 MP front-facing camera
for video chat and a rear facing 5 MP camera to capture images and shoot
videos.
Another feature is the Smart Stay included with the camera app. Smart Stay
helps to detect a user's eyes and keeps the screen bright. Hence whenever you
read an e-book or indulge in an activity on your tablet, the screen will remain
bright. However as soon as you take your eyes off it, it will be dim again.
If you like to watch videos, you will like an interesting feature called Pop Up
Play. This app enables you to play video within a window while you run other
apps simultaneously. If you want to watch a video, you can adjust the size
accordingly while the apps are running on the background.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has a micro SD card slot that enables you to
expand up to 64GB of additional memory. Interestingly this tablet comes with a
pre-loaded app to enable the functionality of infrared to utilize the universal
remote control feature. Now you can easily use it for controlling the functions
of Samsung entertainment devices at home.

This is the best tablet! I love it because it is easy to use--adding games, itunes,
kindle books and many other cool apps. I am getting a lot of use from the Note.
It is fun!

I purchased this particular tablet because I wanted android and I wanted the
integrated stylus. It really makes all the difference. I've seen other top-of-the-
line tablets used with an after-market stylus where you write really big in 1/2
the screen and what you write is digitized down (sometimes unreadable) into
your "notes" in the other half of the screen.
Not so with the Samsung Note 10.1. Using the S-Note (which I love), you write
directly on the "note pad".
Besides the stylus putting this tablet in a category above all other tablets, the
rest of the system works flawlessly as an android tablet. I have as of yet to
have one problem with it (other than getting it back from my kids once they
start playing cut-the-rope or one of their other faves).

Perfect tablet for note taking. Everything is smooth and flawless (had the tf700
and tf201, they are POS compared to this!). Battery last VERY LONG, the
standby battery with this is CRAZY. Got about 7-8 hours of screen time on my
test (taking notes all day)
no cons
Conclusion
Indeed, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is just absolutely fantastic. It is good for
most purposes but if you have a need for using a stylus to input information,
then the Samsung Galaxy Note is an absolute must for you.
If you are looking to buy this tablet, I would highly recommend that you buy it
from Amazon if not for anything but its return policy. However, it is so good
that most likely you will never return it!
