Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 – the new entrant to Samsung’s Note family brings with it a 8-inch TFT LCD with a not-so-spectacular 1280 x 800 display. It is powered by an Exynos 4 Quad processor clocked at 1.6GHz coupled with 2GB of RAM. The good news is this thing runs Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean  out of the box, though with Samsung’s TouchWiz / Nature UX on top.

You can actually use the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 as your primary phone as it has voice-calling functionality out of the box. Besides the Wi-Fi connectivity option, the SIM slot has HSPA+ support for data and voice.

Here is a quick look at the key specs of the Note 8.0 once again:

• 8-inch TFT LCD with a 1280 x 800 resolution and a pixel density of 189 ppi
• Voice Calling Functionality included
• HSPA, Class 12 GPRS/EDGE
• Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, dual-band, Wi-Fi Direc, Wi-Fi hotspot

• A-GPS support and GLONASS
• 5 megapixel primary camera with 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera
• 16/32GB internal storage with microSD card expandable up to 64GB

The Galaxy Note 8.0 will go on to compete with Apple’s iPad Mini and Google’s Nexus 4 in the Indian markets. But there are great chances that Samsung will price the tablet a bit higher than the other two. Anyways we are keeping all tabs on it with regards to the pricing and the actual availability of the product.
