Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition-The Beast Of A Tablet:
The Note series from Samsung has been highly successful since its introduction with the Note 1 all the way through to the Note 3.
Samsung has also started the Note 10.1 series which include high performing tablets, mainly to rival Apple's iPad. The Note 10.1 2014 is no exception to this clause.
So here is the review of the New Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.
Display:
As the name suggests the Note 10.1 features a 10.1 inch scree.The display is Full HD with a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels with an average pixel density of 299 ppi.
The screen's have been greatly emphasized upon by Samsung and it always strives to make them such that hey always stand out. The Note 10.1's screen is no exception. It provides brilliant eye popping colors which seem to be hard to find in most tablets on the market.
Internal Specs:
The chipset running the 10.1 is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, featuring a Quad-Core 2.3 GHz Krait 400 CPU in the LTE model and a Quad Core 1.9 GHz Cortex A15 and a Quad-Core GHz Cortex A7 CPU for the 3G model.
The Adreno 330 GPU handles the graphics.
The 3 GB RAM onboard is more than sufficient for handling any kind of processes or multi-tasking.
The Note 10.1 also features an IR blaster, which gives you the ability to control your TV.
Operating System And Connectivity:
The Note 10.1 features Samsung's TouchWiz skin which is built on top of Android 4.3 "JellyBean".Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP on the Note 10.1 allows you to connect with Samsung's Galaxy Gear.
Wi-Fi and 3G bands are also present.
4G LTE is available in select markets depending on the country in which you live.
Built Quality:
The Note 10.1 appears to have a premium built, but its still Samsung and as a result most of the device is made of plastic but it is still feels like a premium tablet when you hold it in your hands.
There is a metal band that runs throughout the body on the sides.
The back has a similar finish as the Note 3 which looks like stitched leather but it too is plastic.
Camera:
The primary camera on the back has an 8 mega-pixel sensor which auto-focusing.Its a camera on a tablet, but it is a bit disappointing that it lacks Optical Image Stabilization in such a heavy speced device.
he secondary camera on the front has a 2 mega-pixel sensor which can facilitate video calling.
Both the camera can shoot 1080p video @ 30 frames-per-second but the primary camera on the LTE model can shoot 1080p camera at 60 frames-per-second.
Memory:
The device is available in 16, 32 and 64 GB on basis of memory. The memory can be expanded upto 64 GB with the help of a microSD card.
Battery, Color and Price:
The Non-Removable Li-Polymer battery has a capacity of 8220 mAh.It provides 2230 hours of standby time, which is pretty decent. But we have to test and review the device to give the actual hours that it will provide on standby.
Its available on White and Black. Pink is not an option in the 10.1 which was available in the Note 3.
The Note 10.1 is retailing for about $547.99 for the 16 GB white model from Amazon, and you can purchase it from here.
Conclusion:
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is an amazing device which performs like a beast. The specs are amazing on paper and in usage.Its main competitor in the tech community is obviously Nokia's Lumia 2520 and the Apple iPad Air, both of which are equally speced and powerful.
However we think that Samsung should have paid more attention to the built quality of the 10.1, especially when the price goes upto $600.
