Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 - 2014 Edition - Everyeye.it

Posted on 09/12/2013 by Andrea Scrimieri
Samsung was perhaps the manufacturer to have received much interest over the IFA 2013 Berlin, thanks to the presentation of important products such as the Galaxy Note 3 , the Galaxy Gear and the device of which we speak in this preview: Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition . E ‘known as Apple and its iPad possess a large share of the market within the area of ??the tablet, but the South Korean company improves its position every year thanks to the announcement and the sale of Android products more competitive by integrating version custom branded mobile operating system Google new functions that enhance the already great potentialities.

Into Goodbye plastic, leather welcome

Into The Galaxy Note 10.1 edition 2014 is a revised and amended the 10.1-inch tablet on sale from 2011. Samsung has decided to enhance its appearance perhaps starting with some of the criticisms raised by its latest smartphone, the Galaxy S4. Just as the Notes 3, the Galaxy Note 10.1 features a rear casing made with a leatherette material that gives it a certain elegance, then moving away from plastic materials that Samsung has accustomed us with its products, often criticized because they give the feeling of a certain “cost”, especially when compared to the devices manufactured by Apple. The shell can be white or black.
The thickness of Note 10.1 is equal to 7.99 mm, for a total weight of up to a maximum of 535 grams depending on the model selected (Wi-Fi or 3G ).
In the front portion you can find a unique primary key, at the center of the longer edge. The tablet has a reduced thickness of the edges to focus exclusively on the display and use. Thanks to a designated hole on the back leatherette you can access S-Pen, the pen heavily promoted by Samsung, which will always be at your fingertips without however compromising the overall look of the device.
In addition to the nib, the back Note 10.1 of the total is of good quality and marks a clear improvement compared to previous editions.

good processor, but only for a model

The technical characteristics of Note 10.1 are particularly noteworthy, and in fact in the edition 2014 of its tablet the South Korean company has decided to adopt a WQXGA display is able to offer a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels . The back camera has an 8-megapixel BSI sensor with autofocus, combined with a dual LED flash, promises to get quality shots (because so many people insist on taking pictures with their 10-inch tablet, as ridiculous and this may seem inconvenient especially in public).
Nothing special instead as regards the front camera that, with a 2-megapixel sensor, falls in the standard and is therefore particularly suitable for personal and video shots without too many preteste in terms of sharpness and overall quality.
Good news however for lovers of power and performance. For those who choose that version Wi-Fi + 3G Note 10.1 will be available octa-core processor 1.9 Ghz, while the variant Wi-Fi + LTE will offer a quad-core chip 2.3 GHz, both models include 3GB of RAM, and you can choose between 16, 32 and 64GB of internal memory, possibly to extend thanks to the support microSD cards up to 64GB.
Despite an octa-core processor is more palatable, it is likely that Samsung has chosen to equip the model Wi-Fi + LTE chip of a less powerful especially for reducing energy consumption, certainly higher than the chip quad core, to balance battery life, caused by a higher consumption of data transmission technology high-speed LTE. In all probability, however, this difference should not affect in an overly negative during use of the product, at least for everyday little expensive in terms of performance. Perhaps to pay the price will be quit e high demanding applications such as games and high-level professional app. Another aspect to consider in the process of direct evidence of the two models. Into Another interesting element in hardware concerns battery : In fact, Samsung has chosen to adopt a baby with a capacity of 8220mAh. Thanks to this choice, users will benefit from a life far from disappointing and should be in line with other tablet products from competition (usually 10 hours of uninterrupted use to use “medium”). Declaration, which obviously must be checked with a test drive.

Into Full speed ahead on S-Pen and Air Command

Into The Galaxy Note 10.1 mounts the version of Android 4.3 with a custom interface Samsung “Touchwiz” characterized in this version from an exciting new feature called “ Air Command .” We speak of a radial menu that can be invoked through a tap of the stylus S-Pen supplied, which allows easy access to five new tools: Action Memo, Scrapbook, Screen Write, Pen and S Finder Window .
As we have seen in the preview of Note 3, these are applications that offer additional features: while Action Memo allows you to write notes with Breni support to a number of automated actions, Scrapbook has features similar to those of the Evernote Web Clipper; S Finder effective for all purposes as a search bar and is a great way to browse through the files and documents stored in the device. Write Screen allows you to take screenshots of display screens and, finally, we find Pen Window .
Pen Window is perhaps one of the most interesting features of Air Command, especially on a tablet of this size. The tool allows you to use a portion of the screen to start and display a second application in addition to the already open, representing a viable solution for those who work on their device and is looking for true multitasking.
While the Notes are 3 that this feature may be considered of little use because of the small size of the screen, the size of the Note 10.1 seems to lend itself better to this type of features.
In terms of connectivity, users can choose between Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0, and AllShareCast 3G/LTE.
Galaxy Note 10.1 will be avail able from September 25 in 149 nations, including Italy, despite the selling prices are not yet been disclosed. You can choose between three versions: Wi-Fi only, Wi-Fi + 3G and Wi-Fi + 4G/LTE.
