Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Review

With the Note 10.1, Samsung still hasn't found the right formula for tablets.

Samsung has dumped everything into this tablet, and done the best it can to doll up Android. While we like the new keyboard and the new S Pen, the overall size and build of the Galaxy Note 10.1 work against it, as does its operating system. Android...

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 review: Second time lucky

10.1" 16M-color PLS TFT capacitive touchscreen of WXGA resolution (1280 x 800 pixels), 1.4 GHz quad-core Cortex-A9 CPU, Mali-400MP GPU, Exynos 4 Quad chipset, 2GB of RAM, Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich with TouchWiz UX UI, S Pen input with...

Below-par screen resolution for the class, Proprietary 30-pin connector for charging and connectivity, No Full-HD and poor 720p video recording, Poor outdoors visibility

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is perhaps the most powerful of slates. It has RAM that no tablet can match and multi-tasking capabilities better than anything we've seen so far. Heavy browsing and memory-intensive apps, which are key to the tablet...

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, análisis

Tras estos días de prueba con el Galaxy Note 10.1, llega el momento de hacer balance y los sentimientos son algo encontrados. Por un lado, en esta era que ya hay quien cataloga como "post-PC", no está nada mal que un tablet haya querido centrarse en el...

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 review

Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 aims to be all things to everyone, but ends up painting itself into an S-Pen niche.

Fine-tuned S-Pen experience ; Smooth performance ; Multiscreen function allows for true, simultaneous multi-tasking

Build quality feels cheap ; Unimpressive screen resolution ; A little too pricey

It's been a long time -- six months, to be exact -- since Samsung first gave birth to the Galaxy Note 10.1. Our initial reaction was one of intrigue; a risky bet we were eager to see play out in final form, especially given stiff competition from...

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 preview: Starting over

Taking a second to think can result in second thoughts. In the Galaxy 10.1 Note's case it resulted in a second pair of CPU cores and double the RAM - a lethal combination, which only a select few of its foes dare stand against.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (Verizon Wireless) review: Innovative features, if you're willing to pay

When you boil it down, the question of the Verizon Wireless version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is this: despite its myriad cool, useful features, with only 16GB of storage, is it worth $600?

Review: Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

Samsung has taken the Note's proven DNA and embiggened it to create the Galaxy Note 10.1, a Wi-Fi-only, Android 4.0 tablet with a 10.1-inch screen...

Drawing and writing on the Note 10.1 feels much more natural than on the Note phone. Front-facing speakers aren’t better than good headphones, but they’re better than most tablet speakers. A MicroSD card slot allows for expanded storage, and an IR...

The S Pen and a slick screen lack the accuracy to make this a tool for professional artists. The Note 10.1 is quick, but not as fast as rival tablets from Asus and Apple. The 1280 x 800 pixel display falls short in today’s post-Retina world. Samsung’s...

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (Wi-Fi)

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is the first 10-inch Android tablet to offer compelling, consumer-friendly features the iPad can't match.

Pressure-sensitive stylus with several drawing and note-taking apps. Split-screen function. IR remote. Fast processor.

Low-res screen at this price level. Few apps fully support the stylus.

Conclusions The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 can actually make your life easier. If you spend a lot of time in meetings, you think in images, or you want to use your tablet as a home remote control, the Galaxy Note 10.1 has features that are perfect for you.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012) review

With the inclusion of a stylus, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 attempts something different for full-size tablets. In certain apps the S Pen (as the stylus is called) does improve precision and can make note taking a much faster affair. Also, if you're...

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 sports a proven, sensible design, a bevy of useful features, and fast performance. The S Pen Stylus is a unique addition.

Only a limited number of apps make full use of the S Pen and some of the ones that do can be buggy and confusing. Some S Pen features aren't enabled by default and others don't work properly.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is the best Samsung tablet yet. If you can get over its somewhat high price, it's a sound Android tablet investment.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 review

It's no secret that I've been excited to review the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 for weeks now. I spend all day editing and critiquing documents, and I've been imagining a parallel world created by the...

S Pen works well ; Photoshop Touch is fun

Sluggish performance ; Overbearing Samsung software ; No killer S Pen apps

A disappointing Android tablet with a pen is still a disappointing Android tablet
