Samsung announces Galaxy Note 8.0 in India, pricing and availability unknown




Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 preview
Many were sceptical about the Samsung Galaxy Note series when it first arrived in 2011, but all of its devices to date have been successes. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 sits in the middle ground between the 5.5-inch Galaxy Note 2 and the 10.1-inch Galaxy Note 10.1. We got some hands-on time with the 8-inch newcomer to see if it deserved to sit among its brothers.



Competing with Apple's iPad mini, the Samsung Galaxy Note 510 comes with an 8-inch WXGA (1280×800 pixels) TFT display with a 189ppi pixel density. Running on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, the tablet has a 5-megapixel rear and a 1.3-megapixel front camera.

Measuring 210.8 x 135.9 x 8 mm and weighing 338 grams, the Galaxy Note 510 is powered by a 1.6 GHz A9 quad-core processor coupled with 2GB RAM. It will feature 16/32GB internal storage options with additional expansion support up to 32GB via microSD.

Connectivity wise, the tablet boasts Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Wi-Fi direct, AllShareCast, Bluetooth 4.0, USB 2.0, A-GPS and GLONASS (3G version only).

The tablet comes with a host of pre-installed applications such as the proprietary and now upgraded Chat-On 2.0 messenger, Awesome Note and Flipboard amongst many others. It has S Pen support with Air View, S Note, S Planner, Email with hand-writing integration and more.

Samsung has not revealed the price or when the Galaxy Note 510 would go on sale in India. We'll update our readers with the details as soon as we have them.

As far as the international announcement is concerned, Samsung will start selling the new tablet in the April to June period, at an as yet undetermined price.
