Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Review

Is 50,000 Rs. price tag for a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 suitable? If this tab can really compete iPad ? Should you go for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 or iPad? We are here to answer all your question mentioned above. Before the review, let’s have a look at what’s packed up in Galaxy Note 10.1.

Galaxy Note 10.1 comes with the same faux leather back panel seen in Galaxy Note 3. It comes with a 10.1 inch screen with SuperClear LCD display. The screen comes with a resolution of 2560x1600pixels along with pixel density of 299ppi. A 1.9GHz and 1.3GHz Quad-Core processor coupled with 3GB of RAM powers the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. It offers an internal memory of 32GB along with microSD support upto 64GB. For the camera part it comes with 8MP rear snapper and 2Mp front snapper both capable of recording full HD 1080p videos. For the connectivity part, it has 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth. It comes with Android 4.3 out of the box and a 8,220 mAh battery powers the tablet.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Full Review

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)

Design: Even though the body is made up if plastic material but that does not necessarily mean that it feels cheap. IT portrays the same design as seen in Galaxy Note 3. A leather finish on the back panel adds a premium feel. Also the plastic has been so carved and processed to provide a metallic appearance. This could be seen in ridged trimming on the side and solid build quality. Overall the build quality is really impressive without any doubt. The stylus also fits in just perfect with that click sound whenever you insert/remove it.

Screen: This is so far the best resolution screen by Samsung and the result is a better experience while reading or watching movies or anything. However this high end display does lead a burden on the processor. By far the display can compete with iPad or any other tab in the market.

Performance: Even though Galaxy Note 10.1 comes with two processors but the result is opposite to the expectation. The expectation of the device performing really smooth somehow gets nullified as you operate the tablet. To see the lag you don’t even need to use any high end app. Samsung TouchWiz UI itself shows a lag. SO you can get an idea of the lagging when multitasking or running a high end game or app. For a price of Rs. 50,000, this problem is definitely unacceptable.

Memory: Memory parts turns out to similar to the other tabs of the price segment. With 32GB internal memory, it provides with 26GB of user accessible memory and also provides option for microSD card upto 64GB.
Connectivity: Note 10.1 comes with all the basic connectivity option like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth including 3G sim card support.
Software: Samsung TouchWiz and multitasking features impresses the most when on a large screen device. Doing to tasks simultaneously becomes really handy and easy when you have a large screen device. iPad seems to get a disadvantage in these terms.

Though as usual Samsung packing up unnecessary apps with the software bundle which one hardly use is old unnecessary practice. You cannot remove them so you end up with useless apps taking up your RAM and memory.

Camera: 8MP rear snapper in Note 10.1 is improved version of its predecessor. Also this camera and iPad 4 camera lies on the same par on almost every aspect. However, each one has its own advantage. iPad 4 where is still holding the title of better focusing ability, Samsung retains the advantage of low-light shots with better flash.

Battery: Compared to iPad, Galaxy Note 10.1 falls behind. Till date no any tablet has been able to compete the backup time of an iPad. Galaxy Note 10.1 offers a nine hours of continuous video playback and around 8 hours of Wi-Fi browsing. Average usages patterns shows around 15 hours of battery life.

Bonus feature: Samsung Stylus coupled with air command is the special pack up Samsung has to offer. Something which may change your way of using the tablets. The S-Pen is remarkable and coupled with the Air Command, tasks like taking notes, draw sketches or anything else becomes really easy and also interesting.

Verdict: Samsung does provide a good package seeing the S-Pen with Air Command, Enahnced display and camera, but the price tag of Galaxy Note 10.1 marked at 49,990 Rs is the deal breaker. We could have provided you with a good to go suggestion if it had been priced at something around 36,000Rs. to 38,000Rs. We do expect a price fall and if it does fall in the category mentioned before, it will definitely be a good value for money product but at the moment it is overpriced.

The Mega 5.8-inch weighs 182 grams, while its bigger iteration weighs 199 grams, both are fairly light for their sizes.

Samsung says Mega will fit in most pockets and is targeted at users who love watching videos on their phones. Galaxy Mega has an 8-MP rear camera with a 1.9-MP front camera. Samsung's Story Album app helps users organise their albums better.

"Consumers in India prefer large displays in their smartphones owing to the time they spend in extensive multimedia viewing and more," Vineet Taneja, Country Head, Samsung Mobile and Digital Imaging Business said at the launch.

It comes with a variety of Samsung apps such as Group Play (for easy sharing of data), S Memo (notes), S Translator, etc.

This launch follows Samsung's launch of the cheapest Android phone, Galaxy Star at Rs 5,240.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 Compat Review

Hi! guys! We often tease Samsung about the seemingly arbitrary way it divvies up its tablet offerings -- not content with round numbers, it's released tablets that are 10.1 inches wide instead of 10, 8.9 instead of 9, 7.7 instead of 8, and so on. And so too is the case with the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, whose extra 0.4 inch seems unnecessarily tacked on. Yet, this results in a 16:9 aspect ratio that makes it well-suited for watching movies, which makes us willing to forgive its silliness. Plus, even if that weren't enough to sway us, there's so much else to like about Tab Pro 8.4 that the odd screen size is but a minor detail. Indeed, while Samsung released its latest Galaxy Tab Pro line of tablets in both 10.1 and 12.1 inches, it's the 8.4-inch model that's likely to win the hearts of most.

Hardware

I didn't think that extra 0.4 inch would differentiate the Galaxy Tab Pro from previous models like the Galaxy Tab 3, but it does. The Tab Pro is noticeably taller, and like an adolescent wearing an ill-fitting suit, it looks a little, well, stretched out. Once I started using the tablet on a regular basis however, that additional length soon became an asset rather than an oddity. It provides just a touch more head space when browsing lengthy web pages and when turned on its side, its 16:9 aspect ratio lends itself well to watching movies and TV shows.

But before I get to the display, let's take a brief tour of the hardware. Like last year's Galaxy Note 3 and the recently released Note Pro 12.2, the Tab Pro has a faux-leather exterior -- everything from the pebbled back to the "stitching" on the sides is actually made from plastic. Yet, as much as I hate to admit it, this design trickery gives the Tab Pro a premium feel that sets it apart from the last generation of Galaxy Tabs, whose glossy plastic left much to be desired. Add in some metallic accents and the Tab Pro looks like it would fit right in at a Parisian fashion house.

Speaking of fashion-forward looks, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the Tab Pro's slender, lightweight build. Measuring 8.62 inches long, 5.06 inches wide and 0.28 inch thick, the tablet features rounded corners and tapered edges, both of which make it easy to hold in the hand. Scratch that: I should say hands instead, as the slate's 11.85-ounce weight and extra length make it much too top-heavy to use one-handed.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 Dimensions   8.62 x 5.06 x 0.28 in.
Weight   11.68 oz
Screen size   8.4 inches
Resolution 2,560 x 1,600 (359 ppi)
Screen type IPS LCD
Battery Up to 10 hours
Internal storage   16GB / 32GB
External storage   microSD card (up to 64GB)
Rear camera 8-megapixel AF
Forward camera   2-megapixel fixed-focus
Video capture   1080p
NFC N/A
Bluetooth 4.0
SoC Quad-core Snapdragon 800
CPU   2.3GHz
RAM   2GB
WiFi   Dual-band 802.11a/ac/b/g/n
Operating system   Android 4.4 Kitkat

Performance

With a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of RAM, the Tab Pro 8.4 theoretically offers plenty of power. And after spending some serious quality time with the tablet, I have to agree. Swiping and flipping around the tablet's various apps and screens felt gloriously smooth for the most part, and launching most software took mere seconds. For example, in just under two seconds, I was able to launch the camera app and start taking photographs. Snapping pictures is practically instantaneous as well, which is great if you need to capture that perfect moment.

I was especially impressed with how the Tab Pro fared during multitasking. I launched several apps using Samsung's Multi Window feature, with two taking up the entire screen and a few more pop-up windows hovering above. I did things like surf the web with Chrome, play YouTube videos, check email and chat with friends using Hangouts all at the same time. And on the whole, I was able to do these tasks without serious issues. I even tried playing two or three videos simultaneously (with YouTube, Chrome and the built-in video player), and to my surprise, the videos didn't stutter at all.

That said, the more apps I launched, the more the performance started to lag; resizing windows and moving them around took a bit more patience than usual (if you recall, the same thing happened when we tested the Note Pro 12.2). Chrome also crashed once during my little multi-window experiment. While I wouldn't recommend using Multi Window all the time, it's at least robust enough for occasional, lighter use.

As for the device's speakers, I was pleasantly surprised by how loud and rich the stereo speakers sound. To my non-audiophile ears, I didn't detect much tinniness, and found them perfectly acceptable for listening to tracks from Rdio and Spotify. I wouldn't replace your best Bluetooth speakers with them of course, but they'll do in a pinch.
