Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 16GB WiFi and 3G

First of all THE TABLETnIt is a beast of a machine. Smooth. Powerful. Fast. A handy device for someone like me who travels a lot. I can comfortably hold it in one hand. The stylus works great and has better features when compared to the 10.1 Note. The screen is good but could have been better. Not too heavy. Camera is fairly good (but hey 5MP on a tablet is good enough). Battery life is as good as it gets (so far). Used this for 8 hours straight and I still have 20% left. Off topic but still – The packaging is environment friendly and you can surely throw the box away and it won’t hurt the environment (WARNIG : Be sure to take out the device first).nnNow THE PRICE ARGUMENTnnWhen I first saw this on the Samsung e-store I was shocked to see the price listed as 31k. 31k for a Wi-Fi model. Then I saw that this was a 3g model. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and I have respected that here. Hope everyone does the same. So here goes – I feel the price is justified for this model and I know it is a lot and it’s not worth 30k and all. They could have at least sold it for 25-26k. But when you look at it the hardware, the stylus, back camera, quad core, and the promised Key lime pie update I somewhat thinks this is justified. And to those cribbing about this tablet being 335$ in US and in India it should have been 18k and blah blah, please note that the tablet is 335$ FOR A WI-FI ONLY MODEL. nnVerdictnIf you are always on the go and are looking for a good reading and time pass buddy presentation and drawing and stuff - GO FOR IT. But if you are buying a tablet for the sake of entertainment and general every day use I suggest (Again OPINIONS) you go for the Nexus 7 or the ASUS fonepad or one of the other Samsung tabs. Or Wait for the wi-fi only model which I think will be around 20-22k. Keeping the price aside for a minute I rate this 4 out of 5 (1 star against the plasticky feel, I mean COME ON SAMSUNG). But still overall a good tablet.nAnd as usual FLIPKART 5 out of 5nThank YounnnEDIT : The tablet doesn't charge when connected to USB..WHAT??!!

The Galaxy Note 510 is the perfect Android Tablet in most aspects.n nBefore writing more, let me tell you that unlike most reviewers here, I actually have the Tablet. nand it is a joy to use. For all those who say that it is just a minor upgrade from the Tab 2 are WRONG. They just see the 8 inch screen and start complaining. 8 inch size is perfect for all tasks. 7 inch sometimes seems too small. Before this tablets launch I was going to buy the note 10.1 , but that is too big to be used outside of the living room . The weight of the 510 is good enough to be held with one hand for a long time. The Screen is very good, nearly no pixels are visible and I think any more resolution in this size would be an overkill.nnThe camera isn't much use in a Tablet but it is decent nevertheless. nnThere is no other tablet on the, market right that beats this beast in terms of specs or even general speed. nThe S-pen is not just a gimmick but very useful and people should see that before comparing it to Tab 2. The handwriting recognition has come a long way since the last attempts at it by all others with the resistive screen. You can write almost as fast as on a paper and if you can read it, so can the tablet. Pdf's can be annotated very easily as well.nnMulti-Windows feature is useful at many occasions. Air view is very intuitivenThis thing is much more modern than the archaic dual core processor on the Tab 2.nnAlso coming to the price, it isn't overpriced here. The US model that everybody is talking about is Wi-Fi only and costs 400 USD. This model here also has 3G. Consider this. The ipad Mini 3G also starts at 29,900. The Note 510 is as fast as any ipad, has better processor, screen, and an S-pen over the ipad and it still costs only as much as the ipad.nnI don't really require the 3G on this, I would have liked it if Samsung had released a wifi only variant in India as well.nnP. S. -Every body reading this, don't post bad reviews for a device that you don't own and have not used. While everybody on Flip kart is complaining, all the big international technology websites have rated it as the best Android Tablet.
