Tablet Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 was introduced in February of this year at the MWC 2013. In my opinion, at this time Note 8.0 is the quintessence of all that is good in the line of Galaxy Note. However, first things first.

Video review of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0
appearance and design
Frankly, to the design of Galaxy Note 8.0 I have a dual attitude. I do not quite like the way this device looks like: liking me more strict straight line than the smooth curvature. The main body material is used here in white polycarbonate, which in terms of tactile sensations significantly inferior to the aluminum used to produce competing products (eg, iPad mini).
At the same time, I can not accept that in terms of ergonomics Note 8.0 worked wonderfully. He is good in the hand, both in portrait and landscape orientations, which contributes a little weight and it (the weight) successful distribution. All the buttons are positioned so that the user will not dislocated finger, no blisters from the constant groping carefully disguised the lock key (the can “boast» HTC One). Even the slot for the stylus S Pen is positioned so that the stylus is easy to get hold of your right hand, if the tablet while keeping the left. In essence, this is a good design: it is not visible, but it makes the device as pleasant to use.
To build quality test copy Galaxy Note 8.0 personally, I have no complain about.
Screen
In
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 uses an 8-inch PLS-matrix with a resolution of 1280×800 (16:10). This screen has a wide viewing angle, and the only major drawback is its narrow color range, not up to the standard coverage of sRGB (because of the colors appear less saturated than they should). In this case, the uniformity and stability of the color gradients of temperature are very good. The measured value of the maximum brightness is 366 cd / m 2 , contrast – 480:1.
software and functionality
As the functionality of Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is very similar to Note 10.1, adjusted for the fact that it uses the operating system Android 4.1.2 and tablet and smartphone version of the shell TouchWiz, for which the portrait orientation is the main screen. In general, it seems to me, on the ground have not left a single person who infamous TouchWiz never seen, so I will not spend extra words, but just to show you screenshots.
After the penS Pen again organized in the same way as in the Galaxy Note 10.1. All of the features that I like so much in Note 10.1 (recognition of formulas, contour cut and perfectly working handwriting recognition), are present in the Galaxy Note 8.0.
Multiple (or rather, dvuhokonny) mode, which allows working with two applications in parallel, has to work much better. If in Note 10.1 to switch between the two programs located on the screen is delayed, then the Note 8.0 with this all right, working with two applications at the same time can really be called comfortable.
capacity and autonomy
In
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 uses the processor Exynos 4 Quad, combining four core ARM Cortex-A9 with a maximum clock frequency of 1.6 GHz and a graphics accelerator Mali-400MP. In other words, the hardware is identical to this tablet Galaxy Note II, and shows exactly the same results in benchmarks.
Runtime Galaxy Note 8.0 at approximately similar to other compact tablets – with occasional use we can expect 4-6 days of autonomy in heavy use of the device lasts for a couple of days. In playback mode, HD-video at half brightness Note 8.0 lasted 8 hours – not the best result, but it is worthy.
The bottom
In my opinion, Galaxy Note 8.0 may be called the “golden mean” in the line of Galaxy Note: the screen still had a lot more than even the largest number, but it is much more portable than a full-size (10-inch) tablets that allows you to comfortably hold it with one hand, and the other taking notes. The advantages of the device include a good performance, high-quality screen, advanced functionality and a very good autonomy.
I believe Galaxy Note 8.0 one of the best Android-plates are available at the moment, and exactly the best in the segment of devices with a diagonal of 7.8 inches, which allowed us to give him a reward editorial “We recommend».
