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 sold successfully. It is its parameters and characteristics that will be considered in this review.
Processor
The heart of this tablet PC is the Exynos Model 4412 CPU. It is Samsung's own design. It consists of 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 APM architecture successfully function in this silicon crystal. This includes turning off unused cores, and lowering the clock frequency of an unused module. All this can significantly save battery life. All in all, an excellent combination of performance and energy efficiency, which is the hallmark of all devices built on this architecture.
Graphics subsystem
Forfor performing graphic functions, the Mali-400 MP4 adapter is integrated into this device. Of course, at the time the tablet was released, it allowed solving all tasks without exception without any problems. 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 downside is the glossy 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 the same time. But now cheaper devices can boast of 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 excellent in the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000. Feedback from satisfied owners of this gadget is another confirmation of this. It has 2 GB of RAM. Now, 2 years later, not every tablet or smartphone is equipped with this amount of 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 a microSD card up to 32 GB. It is also possible with the help of OTJ-cable to connect an external regular USB flash drive up to 16 GB. In general, the memory system subsystem in this case tightens by five points out of five possible. It can also be quickly increased without problems by connecting an additional memory card or flash drive.
Case
Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 case cannot be attributed to strengths. Reviews only confirm this. There are two options for its design - white (for a female audience) and black (more formal). Case material - plastic. Scratches easily appear on it, and it is unstable to shocks. Therefore, it is better to immediately buy a case in the kit that will protect this tablet from damage. A similar situation with the screen. It is made of ordinary plastic and is also resistant to cracking. So immediately you need to stick a protective film so as not to scratch or spoil it. These measures will significantly extend the operating time of this device.
Battery
Mediocre battery installed in Samsung Galaxy Note N8000. The Chinese version in this case is even worse. The proprietary device uses a 7000 milliamp/hour lithium-ion battery. This capacity is enough for one day of comfortable work. Although with a not very intense load, its charge can last for two days. But still not enough today. Now there are already batteries for 10,000 milliamp / hours, and this is enough for 3 days of active use. But the Chinese copy has even less - 3000 milliamp / hours, which is enough for half a daywork. So before buying it is necessary to specify the modification of the device. In addition, the rest of the technical specifications in the Chinese version are significantly worse than the original.
Soft
Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 operates under the Android operating system with an outdated version 4.0.4. This is enough to launch most offers. 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, owners will have to work with what is available. This nuance must be considered before buying.
Communications
The Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 tablet is equipped with a rich set of communications. First of all, these are 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 are available today. At the same time, the owner of the tablet is not tied to anything, but can exchange data with the global web in any corner of the globe where there is a mobile connection. Also, do not forget that there is the possibility of making calls. True, it is better to talk with headphones. The tablet has a large diagonal, so it is not very convenient to use it for these purposes. Among the wired communications, there is the possibility of connecting via a universal serialUSB interface. For navigation, transmitters for working with GPS and GLONASS systems are integrated into the gadget. This will allow you to easily determine your location. All this is enough to comfortably fill this device with all the necessary information and navigate the area.
Results
The Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 looks impeccable in terms of technical specifications and software. The price is much too high. Similar tablet personal computers from other manufacturers are much cheaper. For example, Lenovo Yoga can be bought much cheaper. A device from Samsung costs $450, while a similar device from a Chinese manufacturer is priced at $375. From this point of view, buying a device from a Korean manufacturer is not entirely justified.
