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
It actually offers a lot of wonderful features. If you don't need the S Pen or those options, by all means, save yourself half the dough and pick up a Nexus 7. It's the better choice for your use....
Fast. Well-built with well-balanced weight. Excellent pen support. Acts as a TV remote.
Expensive. Battery life isn't great. Poor cameras
If you want a tablet with a pressure-sensitive pen for writing or drawing, the Galaxy Note 8.0 is a top choice, but it'll cost you twice as much as other leading small-screen slates....

Abstract: The classic 6 x 9 inch steno pad has been a mainstay of my journalism career since the early '90s, when I, as a college sophomore, first walked into the offices of the student newspaper on campus. That's why I was excited to check out the Samsung Galaxy N...

Great multitasking software, S Pen is great for note taking and annotating, IR blaster helps integrate with home entertainment, Exceptional performance, A microSD card slot for virtually endless storage
Made mostly of cheap feeling plastic, The display is low-res and noticeably pixelated, Speakers are easily covered up, Mediocre camera and video quality, There is still a content gap, albeit closing, for Android tablets,
The Galaxy Note 8.0 may not exhibit the best hardware we've seen in a tablet, it may be made of the very same plastic found on other Galaxy devices that we turn our noses up to and it certainly does not have the best display we've seen on a mobile devic...

S Pen is a great drawing tool, Fast, consistent performance, Light and thin
Samsung software is overbearing, Weak, poor speakers, Display resolution is quickly becoming obsolete
The Galaxy Note 8.0 is made for people who loved the experience with the Galaxy Note 2 with the S Pen and who like to take advantage of a larger display without breaking the bank. The Samsung Multi Window feature is perfect for this type of form factor. K...
Perfect size for portability and usability, Powerful quad-core processor (2GB RAM), MicroSD card slot, Built-in stylus, Vivid and responsive screen
Samsung's apps can be annoying, Rear camera is crap, Plastic build, $400 price is higher than competitors
The Galaxy Note 8.0 is Samsung's strongest tablet entry yet, and a good alternative to the iPad Mini. It mostly matches what Apple accomplished with the Mini and exceeds it in a few ways, most notably with the built-in stylus. However, it will run you a...
Abstract: Released in the middle of 2012, the Google Nexus 7 by Asus remains a worthy competitor in the small tablet space. Armed with more than decent hardware and an ultra-aggressive price tag, the Nexus 7 is not to be taken lightly, not even by more ambitious...
