Trying out a Galaxy note and was doodling a bit. I am not near the artist of many I know but I wasn't totally embarrassed by this small attempt at sketching on a tablet
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is here to cheer tablet lovers! As the name goes, it is equipped with a 10.1 inches display and comes with hordes of new features. The device can be looked upon as an evolution of Samsung’s hugely popular smartphone, the Galaxy Note. The new Galaxy Note is a mid range tablet that has a Tegra 2 processor and memory with a minimum 16 GB of on-board storage. To take on the market initially, Samsung has slashed the price by a hundred dollars and the tablet now comes at a price of $400.
In this price segment, Samsung’s Galaxy Note is the best tablet that the company can possibly offer. Let’s throw some light on the features and specifications of this new mobile device.
Design and Display
Samsung has chosen to stick on to its tried and tested design with the new Galaxy Note. It does appear to be a Samsung at first glance. The tablet has matte silver finish with the rear surface made of plastic material that is resistive to both fingerprints and scratches. Speaking of the build quality, it feels sturdier than other tablets in its segment. In fact, it is bulkier than others weighing 1.29 pounds.
If you plan to get this tablet for gaming, you could have a bewildering experience initially. But that is likely to be short-lived. The touch and swipe gestures are not responsive. Motion blurs and stumbling were also witnessed by some critics who tested the tablet.
Hardware and Performance
The Samsung Galaxy Note runs a dual core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor that is clocked at 1GHz. You get 1 GB RAM and minimum 16 GB on built-in flash storage. It allows further expansion of memory through the microSD slot. The processor may appear to be low on performance, but surprisingly, it manages to outperform some of the quad-core processors of the rivals.
This new tablet is ideal for web browsing, especially when you are on the move. There is no lag or lack of responsiveness while browsing with multiple tabs opened simultaneously. However, the performance is exciting when you put it up against some devices with outdated configuration. The device tends to slowdown while launching apps, especially those which are rich in graphics. Though few industrial tests reveal that there were no instances of app crashing when the tablet was tested, there are certain apps that have taken sufficient time to close.
Moving on to the audio, Samsung has revamped the position of the speakers, putting it on the front side this time. Some might feel that this placement has messed up the look of the device. Nevertheless, as the speakers are mounted on the upper surface, the sound does not muffle if you place the handheld device on your lap or any other surface. Critical tests have revealed that the audio quality is pretty good and gets quite loud whenever required. However, it is better that you do not slide the volume all the way up as this could result in cracking of the sound at higher decibels.
Operating System and Software
The new Galaxy Note runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with the indigenous TouchWiz layered on the top. This implies that certain apps like Calendar would be substituted by Samsung’s own S Planner on this device. The applications menu further consists of ‘Hubs’ for gaming, multimedia and e-books.
There are loads of third party applications on the Galaxy Note including the Amazon’s widely popular Kindle app, Polaris Office, Pulse news reader and Netflix. Additionally, you get Dropbox, an online file sharing and storage service built into the interface. Samsung users will have the added benefit of enjoying 50 GB of complimentary storage space on the Dropbox. What’s more, the new Galaxy Note features Peel’s universal remote app in place of the IR emitters that have long been associated with rest of the Samsung tablets.
Battery life
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is powered by a 7000 mAh battery that makes it last for an impressive nine hours, as stated by reviewers. The nine hour test comprised looping a movie with the Wi-Fi turned on and the screen brightness adjusted to 50 percent. This is quite respectable considering the other tablets in the same segment. The Galaxy Note lasts for one hour more on an average when compared to its rivals. Considering the 10.1 inches display and the $400 price tag, this is good enough.
The Final Verdict
Samsung Galaxy Note is a new player in the mid range market which comes with a number of good features. Arguably, the Galaxy Tab 2 could be chosen over the Note when it comes to overall performance, but Samsung has been smart enough to reduce the latter’s price by a hundred dollars. That said, the Galaxy Note is a formidable competitor for other tablet manufacturers in the market.
