0 Samsung announced Note 8.0 an 8-inch Tab with S-Pen & Calling Facility

The Korean company announced on Sunday in Barcelona that the Galaxy Note 8.0 will have an 8-inch screen, putting it very close in size to the Apple's tablet, which launched in November with a 7.9-inch screen. It's not the first time Samsung has made a tablet that's in the Mini's size range: it's very first iPad competitor had a 7-inch screen, and it still makes a tablet of that size, but without a pen.

 Samsung will start selling the new tablet in the April to June period, at an as yet undetermined price. It made the announcement ahead of Mobile World Congress, the wireless industry's annual trade show, which starts Monday in Barcelona, Spain.

Samsung pushing this as a successor or a device that is a capable variant/off spring of the weird yet super successful Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 310 . In order to continue down that path, Samsung has chosen to provide a similar experience, but under the Note brand, with obvious advantages of a S-pen and at the same time, the ability to make calls. It is presumed that this device will be capable of running the premium suite apps and the multi screen experiences made popular by the Galaxy Note 2 .

The confirmed specs of the Galaxy Note 8.0 are as below -

*. 8.0-inch (1280 × 800 pixels) TFT Super Clear LCD display

*. 7.95 mm thick, to weigh about 338 grams

*. 4600 mAh battery

*. 2GB RAM, 16GB/32GB internal memory with micro SD slow support

*. 5MP auto focus camera, 1.2MP front-facing camera

*. 1.6 GHz quad-core Cortex A9 processor

*. 3G HSPA＋ 21Mbps, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n (2.4 & 5GHz), Wi-Fi Direct,Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS ＋ GLONASS (3G version)

*. Android 4.1.2 Jellybean

           So, this is both a bigger Note as well as a smaller Note 10.1 in terms of specs. The main USP though, is that you can make calls on the device, including phone like functionality thanks to an ear piece on the front. It also fancily takes a jab at the Apple iPad mini with the Galaxy Note 8.0 but the price will decide the final judgement.
