The editors liked
Crisp display
Stylus adds a massive potential for functionality
Familiar interface and feeling to the device
Impressive overall performance of the tablet
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is comfortable to hold and has the best-looking small tablet screen yet. Writing with the S Pen feels natural and is preferred over typing on a tablet screen. Storage can be expanded via microSD
And the Watch On feature has pote

Fast and zippy performance
Some genuinely useful software features
S Pen works well
Intuitive and fluid OS
Good keyboard

Finally
Samsung is using the microUSB charge port for its tablets
Mobile edition of Android actually works better in this size than the tablet incarnation
Included S Pen means drawing and taking notes is possible in a useful size

The editors didn't like
Disappointing battery life
Despite capacity
Limited storage space – just 16 GB
Front facing camera is poor quality
The $399 price is a lot for a small tablet
No matter its features. It's not as thin or as light as the iPad Mini
And some people won't appreciate the highly saturated look of the OS. Also
Its face buttons sometimes get in the way and there are occasion
Below average battery life
Slippery
Plastic build
Too expensive
No flash player
Browser zoom and reflow needs work
IR Blaster range poor
Plastic casing still isn't premium for us
Screen resolution is a little dated and could be better
Abstract: On the Samsung performance ladder, the Note 8.0 is a step up from the Galaxy Tabs, thanks largely to its Exynos 4412 quad-core CPU (if you need help, that's the chip inside the Aussie version of the Galaxy S3 phone). But the screen is fairly ho-hum, a st...

The AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a quality tablet, but the Nexus 7 offers contract-free 4G LTE support with better performance at a much better price....

Plastic casing still isn't premium for us; Screen resolution is a little dated and could be better; No NFC; Performance is a little slow, especially in comparison to Samsung's smartphones;
Despite its plastic casing, Samsung's mid-sized Galaxy Note is one of the better Android tablets we've played with, feeling balanced in the hands, and supporting the S Pen with a more notepad-like experience.It could do with a touch more performance and s...
We really liked the Galaxy Note 8.0. Its stylus framework works very well in the 8″ form factor, and this is a powerful and well-designed little tablet which represents a strong competitor to the iPad mini, Nexus 7, and other mid-sized tablets. Perhaps ...

There's plenty of competition in the market at this size – most notably the Nexus 7 and the iPad Mini, both of which are great devices with their own pro's and cons. The biggest plus that the Note 8 has over the competition is the Wacom digitiser, S-Pen a...

Abstract: Samsung is riding high at the moment as the world's number one Android mobile device maker, and you can see why the Korean company is doing so well when you take the Galaxy Note 8.0 out of its biodegradable bamboo packaging.Our test device was the A$459 W...

Abstract: Our test device was the A$459 Wi-Fi only version (3G and LTE versions available later) which is nicely designed, slim, and fairly light-weight at 340 grams. It is built well and for some people, just the right size with its eight-inch (measured diagonally...

Below average battery life, Slippery, plastic build, Too expensive
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is a handy tablet with some nice software features but it's let down by a slippery, plastic build and an expensive price tag. Unless you desperately need the S Pen, buy a Google Nexus 7...

Samsung has created a very worthy device here. The Note 8.0 may not be able to put 'phone' or 'tablet' solely on its birth certificate (remember, the cellular version will allow calls), but in using the Wi-Fi model under the tablet moniker, we can see Sam...

Maybe. The main issue is that it's quite expensive for a fairly average device.In Australia the Galaxy Note 8.0 costs $459 for the 16GB, Wi-Fi-only model. That's $90 more expensive than the equivalent iPad mini and a whopping $210 more than the Nexus 7, b...
