Back in 2012, the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 tablet was introduced. Despite the fact that this model has been on the market for more than 2 years, it continues to be successfully sold. It is its parameters and characteristics that will be considered in this review.
CPU
The heart of this tablet is Exynos Model 4412 CPU. This is Samsung’s own development. It includes four revision A9 cores operating at a frequency of 1.3 GHz. It is the combination of these characteristics that allows the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 to cope with any task without any problems. Again, all the features implemented in the AWP architecture function successfully in this silicon crystal. This is disabling idle cores, and lowering the clock frequency of an idle module. All this allows you to significantly save battery life. In general, an excellent combination of performance and energy efficiency, which is a hallmark of all devices built on the basis of this architecture.
Graphics subsystem
To perform graphic functions, the Mali-400 MP4 adapter is integrated into this device. Of course, at the time of the tablet’s release, it allowed to solve all problems without exception. But now its computing power is no longer enough for demanding applications. The screen resolution is 1280 pixels by 800 pixels. At the same time, its diagonal is 10.1 inches. This is enough for normal and comfortable work, but a certain graininess of the picture will be present. Another minus is the glossy finish of the screen. All finger touches will be imprinted on it.
A definite plus is the presence of a capacitive sensor, which is characterized by increased sensitivity. Another advantage is support for up to five touches at a time. But now cheaper devices can boast a similar feature. Despite the presence of certain comments, the graphics system of the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 is well balanced, and its capabilities will be enough for the needs of most users.
Memory
The memory subsystem is simply superb on the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000. Reviews satisfied owners of this gadget is another confirmation of this. RAM in it is installed 2 GB. Now, after 2 years, not every tablet or smartphone is equipped with so much RAM. Built-in memory of 16 GB - this amount is enough to store several movies or a library of books. In addition, there is a slot for installing microSD cards up to 32 GB in size. You can also use an OTZ cable to connect an external conventional USB flash drive with a capacity of up to 16 GB. In general, the subsystem memory system in this case draws out five points out of five possible. Also, it can be quickly increased without problems by connecting an additional memory card or flash drive.
Housing
Strengths include the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000. Reviews it only confirms. There are two options for its design - white (for a female audience) and black (more official). Case material - plastic. Scratches easily appear on it, and it is unstable to shock. Therefore, it is better to immediately buy a case in the kit, which will protect this tablet from damage. A similar situation with the screen. It is made of ordinary plastic and is also unstable to cracking. So immediately you need to stick a protective film so that it does not scratch or spoil. These measures will significantly extend the operating time of this device.
Battery
A mediocre battery is installed in the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000. The Chinese version is even worse in this case. The proprietary device uses a 7000 milliampere / hour lithium-ion battery. This capacity is enough for one day of comfortable work. Although with a not very intense load, its charge may last for two days. But still not enough for today. Now there are already batteries for 10,000 milliamps / hours, and this is enough for 3 days of active use. But the Chinese copy has even less - 3000 milliamps / hours, which is enough for half a day of work. So before buying, you must definitely specify the modification of the device. In addition, the remaining technical specifications in the Chinese version are much worse than the original.
Software
Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 is running the Android operating system with the outdated version 4.0.4. To run most offers, this is enough. But still, some programs (for example, the An-Tu-Tu tester) require version 4.1. Most likely, the system software of this tablet PC will no longer be updated. Therefore, the owners will have to work with what is available. This nuance must be considered before buying.
Communications
The Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 is equipped with a rich set of communications. First of all, it is bluetooth (perfect for connecting other mobile devices), Wi-Fi (provides maximum data exchange speed when connected to the Internet) and a 4G modem. The last option allows this device to function in any mobile networks that exist today. At the same time, the owner of the tablet is not attached to anything, but can exchange data with the global web in any corner of the globe where there is mobile communication. Also do not forget that there is the possibility of making calls. True, talking is better with headphones. The diagonal of the tablet is large, so it is not very convenient to use it for these purposes. Among the wired communications, there is the possibility of connecting via the universal serial interface of the USB. To navigate the gadget integrated transmitters work with GPS and GLONASS. This will allow you to easily determine your location. All of this is enough to comfortably fill this device with all the necessary information and navigate the terrain.
Summary
From the standpoint of technical specifications and software, the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 looks flawless. The price is much too high. Similar tablet personal computers of other manufacturers are much cheaper. For example, Lenovo Yoga can be bought much cheaper. The Samsung device costs $ 450, and the Chinese manufacturer estimates that such a device is worth 375. On this side, buying a Korean manufacturer’s device is not entirely justified.
