As the palm rejection (=accept only pen input when pen in range) can be configured on system level (settings/pen), it works throughout the whole device for all apps.

When you are used to high Res devices it takes a bit to get used to low Res again, if you can at all. Its not for everyone.

I see the pixels and its the only gripe I have with this tablet. Everything else is perfect for me. I look at the tablet as a stepping stone. It will be awesome at doing what I want until something better comes along. I've gone through 4 android tablets in the past month. This one has the least trade offs. Unfortunately no device will be perfect whether Windows, Mac, iOS or Android, but they still get the job done. This device is closest to perfect I've found on Android.

What are you talking about? :eek: I've seen many, many Android tablets and never encountered any flickering. There was screen tearing in one ICS ROM for Transformer but flickering - never.

Maxthon HD browser will smooth your screen fonts quite a bit.

He may be talking about this "dynanic contrast" thing, dont remember what it was called really. The TF700 had it as a "feature" without being able to turn it off.

I only noticed it once or twice.

No actually Sony Tablet n I have heard even Nexus 7 having screen flickering problem.

With Sony tablet this is very frequent, just google it..

Im really enjoying mine so far. One thing i am hopeful for down the road is more apps for multitasking. I would love to watch youtube content or netflix with the browser or s note in the opposing window. I dont have a lot of video content to manually upload and most times when i think of something to watch i want to grab it from an app like netflix. I can only watch the same content uploaded for video so many times.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] HasC:
I have not tried it however, for SNote and you tube video, you can probably go to the youtube site to play the videos from the browser whilst using SNote on the side or alternatively, you can use a pop up video player which can stream youtube videos (the one I use is excellent called "Super Video" available on Google Play, I paid for the in app purchase that allows streaming you tube videos").

The second option will give you the flexibility of having a video playing whilst browsing and taking notes on Snote if opened side by side.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] wingzero2085:
I, too, am wondering why all the bad reviews for the Note 10.1 -- I could care less about the screen res (in fact, I can't see much difference between this screen and the Nexus 7, but on the other hand, my husband swears he can see every pixel on my Note, so YMMV).

I bought the Note for the wacom digitizer, hands down. Wacom is the defacto standard for drawing/writing tablets for PCs, and I spend enough time doing design work that requires me to draw, so the Note seemed like the right fit for me. To me, that technology alone (look at the price of a good wacom drawing tablet for a PC), is worth the extra cost for this device. But that's me -- I personally think that if you aren't interested in the s-pen, then perhaps there are better choices for your money (though it sounds like both the Asus Infinity and the Acer A700 both suffer from lag due to driving those higher screen resolutions).

As far as how this tablet functions with the s-pen: it's perfect. Even my husband, who hates the screen on the Note, absolutely loved using the s-pen in Photoshop Touch. I also love the speed -- it's almost unreal. It surfs the web nearly as fast as my desktop PC over Wi-Fi. Everything I throw at it, it chews up and spits out in no time. At least, that's how it feels. I was able to get all of my apps installed, system bloat disabled, and my home screens arranged in a matter of a few hours from start to finish.

I would agree that the Note may not be the tablet for everyone, but I don't think it was ever really billed that way -- the Note is meant to be a consumption device, but first and foremost, a useful tool. To that end, I don't think its even really fair to compare it to the Inifnity, as both have very different types of users targeted. You want the best stylus on the market? Get the Note. Otherwise ... probably the Infinity is the best thing going for just plain media consumption. But then yes, Sony has a tablet coming later this year (my husband is waiting for that one), so perhaps waiting is the better bet. It just depends on what you're really looking for.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] HasC:
I am extremely happy with this tablet. The Spen function for me was the selling point, I also have the phone (Note) which is too small for serious note taking although another excellent product.

I ignored all the negative reviews and purchased on launch day and have no regrets. I am not experiencing any of the lag that is mentioned on some reviews.

I can now use Citrix to connect to my works network and actually be productive due to the Spen. Without the Spen, a tablet without a keyboard was useless due to the small screen.

I am now thinking of purchasing a mini pico projector for Powerpoint and other Presentations and am so happy that I will not have to carry a laptop and large projector around with me.

As a business user, it fits my needs perfectly although when I am at home, the tablet is used as a consumption device.

Seriously people, unless you want the high resolution screen, this is definitely the all round tablet to have and I have been waiting for something like this for years.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Magnesus:
Thanks. I know what you are all talking about now. Dynamic contrast can be hell when badly implemented. I hope it's posibble to turn it off (it's the first thing I did on my LCD screen).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] trineomorph:
Is there a specific option to turn on pixel smoothing? I didn't find a difference viewing Maxthon from the regular browser.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
Yeah let me amend that a bit.

The key to good looking fonts is two-fold:

1. Size of the font - the smaller it is the more pixelated it will be.

2. Blackness of the font - the deeper the black, the better the font pops.

I have carefully reviewed all the major android browsers and launchers and have determined the following:

For deepest blacks and fastest performance, the stock browser running on Apex Launcher is actually the best IMHO. Even better than Maxthon. There is a slight lag in opening the bookmark list (have no idea why) but the pages load the fastest. I prefer Dolphin from an ease of use standpoint, but page loads are slower and the colors are a bit washed out.

Also as a tip I recommend setting the browser to open in overview and then read webpages in landscape with Desktop View checked. This seems to be to give the smoothest looking fonts.

P.S., I also set color vibrance to "Movie" in settings. Reason being this seems to bring the gamma down the best to make blacks really black.

using apex now. But found thatscrolling is not as smooth as in my xoom. maybe because my room is running jb.

Can't wait for Samsung to release the ota

I could say for the price its worth considering here in Thailand new ipad 32gb+4g cost around 750$ and for my note 16gb wifi +3g $620 but because i choose this as ios is greedy andcandroid is an open platform. A little buggy on transition but leaning towards the jb update to fix. Looking forward also for more hd apps as resolution of some basic apps are not well defined. Im an avid user of samsung products from s to advnce, to s2 to note and now note10.1 lovin it! !!!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
He's one of the few that gets the whole "creation" angle. In that regard, there really isn't any competition. What's funny is, like Aaron, I've gotten so used to the pen that I don't even use my fingers any more. He commented on the reports of lag and pretty much said he didn't see it. Nice to see a thoughful review for a change.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] lm that guy:
I too use my pen for everything i do aswell. So cool, im still very impressed by this device even almost nearly a month with it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] omnia1994:
same , although i just owned it for 2 weeks

my previous tablet, motorola xoom with EOS rom - smooth in UI scrolling (apex) , everything is smooth, but when reading some large document / editing document - laggy. play games like mass effect , gta - a bit laggy even overclock to 1.4ghz

note 10.1 - rooted stock , not as smooth as xoom when scrolling (probably because xoom is running jb but note still not yet)

but other than that, it is smooth like hell. nvr notice a single lag even when playing heavy games.

love it very much.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kego:
I plan to switch this too...

Currently I use HTC Flyer. Actually HTC did a very good job, in terms of hardware and did a very bad job in terms of software. Imagine, you create a innovative 7" tablet PC with an active pressure sensitive stylus but bundle no target-hitting nice software. Thanks to some clever developer acadoid has brought "Lecture Notes" which turned Flyer into a real tool...

Anyway, seems Samsung has covered this lack with S-Note and PS Touch bundle. Today I tried at a shop; especially found the pen unbelievable when compared to that of Galaxy Note. GN was not precise, there was a clear stand-off between the tip of the stylus and the line drawn on the screen. But GN10.1 is perfect, same as HTC is doing, or even better maybe (just tried for 5 min). But the stylus is too lightweight, looks like pen holder will be indispensible for those who will prefer GN10.1 for note taking.

The build "plastic" debate was unnecessary for me. That grade PC is not a cheap plastic by the way. But when I look to Flyer, the aluminum-plastic combination is really looking "classy", even than ipad. That pattern I am sure would look great on GN10.1 but it's still sleek.

The only issue is only N8005 model is sold here in Turkey that doesn't support GSM voice. Normally I am not fan of doing phone calls via an 10.1 "gigantic" device but with a BT set, it could come handy. Especially in business meetings, I use Flyer both as note taking device and phone (thanks to Leedroid rom :) ).

And last but not least, screen resolution is not so good to eyes that are used to work with tablets or such devices. Especially on white/light background this is more noticeable but on the other hand, it has stronger battery. I would sacrifice my view for better battery performance.

This tablet is not for general usage and a lot of people. This is for mainly students, business people who could use this as an everyday tool. Others could be disappointed.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dhd1802:
a basic description would be its a galaxy tab 10.1 with a pen. how does the addition of a pen suddenly make it not for general usage? i'm neither a student or a business person but i bought one. sure its a great tool for students / business, but suggesting its not for general usage is kinda shortsighted :cyclops:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] toenail_flicker:
Agreed. While I own a business, and use my Sammy for it, I also use it for general usage. The pen makes it even more handy.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kego:
Of course you both are totally right (:

I meant most people (=general usage) buy tablets (=ipad) for just browsing internet, checking mails and watching videos. At least the people around me are so and think Android tablet is "geeky". Maybe GN10.1 will change this looking.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GTablet:
I have been using 10" android tablets since the Viewsonic G Tablet came out; I have tried or owned most of what has come out since. Just to be fair I also have an iPad 2 so I have a pretty darn good basis for comparison. I just picked up my new Note 10.1 about an hour ago; and I must say that I am impressed!

I do not want a tablet to be a replacement for my desktop or laptop; they both serve very specific functions and will always have them in my inventory. I want a tablet for several reasons; being a consultant I wanted to replace my folio binder with an electronic version that also has enough technology to develop and deliver presentations, watch movies or listen to music on long flights and allow me to make typed or hand written notes without difficulty. The device needs to be enough of a tool to be useful and enough of a toy to keep me entertained. Having said that I have gone through MANY tablets trying to find the best of all worlds (in my opinion) to allow me to use the technology the way I want and need without changing the way I work to enable the technology.

Buying tablets like anything else is a process...you have to understand your own need; find the applications that fill the need, then find the tablet that best runs those applications.

Based on what I see so far...it looks like the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 just might be the tablet I have been dreaming about for the last 3 years.

Just my 2 cents for what it is worth!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] allerune:
Totally worth buying. I'm actually writing this post with stylus and writing recognition is awesome. Before that tablets didn't make any sense to me. The only downside is that it's still android. Samsung Slate with Win 7 would be much better, but it costs 3x more so I went for cheaper solution.

Ps. Actually one thing is pissing me off.It allows to print only an Samsung printers. I can easily print on my old network HP with HTC One X....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] cbutt:
Definitely worth buying. This is my first tablet. I bought it for myself as a birthday present. I have not been let down yet. I use it for day to day browsing, xda, eBay, news, netflix, etc. I am going back to school in January & know I will be using it that much more. I tossed around the transformer infinity, but I decided on the note. Haven't regretted my purchase at all. An added plus is being able to pop in my SIM & use it anywhere I want.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Guardsix:
It's Amazing After a Week Use!

Let me start by saying that I own an ASUS Transformer Infinity, have owned the ASUS Transformer Prime and have also owned all of the iPads at one time or another including the iPad 3. I also have a Nexus 7 which replaced my Kindle Fire. I'm something of a gadget nut as my wife so fondly calls me!

I bought the Galaxy Note 10.1 because it was there. I had no real expectation since I already had the best tablet on the market, i.e., the ASUS Transformer Infinity. I didn't think I'd be able to get along with a 1280 X 800 screen after looking at the gorgeous 1900 X 1200 screen on the Infinity but as I said, I am intrigued by new technology. So I picked mine up at Best Buy a little over a week ago.

It hasn't left my hands since I bought it! This is a great tablet. It feels wonderful to hold and the screen is just fantastic. The colors are as bright and vibrant as expected and almost match the Infinity. I have no problems watching movies on the GNote 10.1 especially since Samsung figured out how to properly positions speakers on a tablet. If there's one thing (among others) that bug the heck out of me about the Infinity, it's that the speakers are in the back where you place your hands. I have to use an app to get the volume loud enough to hear it. Not so on the GNote 10.1. It has loud and clear sound which is just great.

I've also fought with the ASUS Infinity software. It just didn't seem to want to work right the first time. I had multiple web browser crashes, email crashes, and other software crashes that were just a mystery. I would faithfully install every firmware update ASUS provided which they did quite frequently. Some improved the Infinity and others didn't seem to do much. After a number of factory resets and with the final update to Jelly Bean, my Infinity is now working pretty smoothly. I still have to use two or three different browsers because of one thing or another but I've learned to live with that on this tablet.

Not so with the Galaxy Note 10.1. Since I started it up, everything and I mean everything about it has been as smooth as silk. I cannot tell you have enjoyable that has been. I can browse the net without the default browser ever crashing and it's the only browser I have found I need. It plays videos just like my TV and I could care less if they are not in full 1080p, I can see the picture just fine thank you! My wifi signal is on the ASUS Infinity is a constant 62 Mbps while my Galaxy Note 10.1 pulls in an extremely strong 72Mbps with both in my hands in the downstairs living room. My router is upstairs in a spare bedroom. I never lose a signal on either tablet but the Galaxy Note definitely locks in much better.

It just seems like the Galaxy Note does things smoothly and right the first time. I'm very happy with it and if I had to give up one, I'd be very hard pressed to give up the Galaxy Note 10.1 first. I think it's a keeper. Buy one, you'll like it. :)

Good thing you're not in to cars. That could get expensive. ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TonyBigs:
Having used Motion Computing Windows tablets (no touch screen) for a few years it's nice to have an Android tablet that can be operated solely by the pen.

The Lenovo Thinkpad tried, but the handwriting function is miserable and the GPS is very poor. N-trig, to me, is not a good solution. Wacom all the way.

Would have given 10 if mine doesn't have that S-note PDF import issue. I am using my note 10.1 to take notes at work and to sketch on the train while commuting. If the coming JB update fixed the PDF problem, it would be perfect.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
The shipped and latest versions of S-Note are fine. It's the middle version that has some type of bug. Read the PDF thread that got started today.

I''ve had it for less than a week & it's an upgrade from my previous tablet ( Viewsonic G-Tab). One thing I immediately noticed is the speed.:good:

The Xoom would probably sink like a rock (The thing is a tank) but I bet the Note would float. The Xoom would make a good weapon to defend against pirates though!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kenkaw:
From the beginning, I decided that I wanted an active stylus for my tablet to be able to get more out of the device than just surfing the net and watching video.

Got the HTC Flyer but soon found the 7inch screen too small. Bought the Lenovo ThinkPad when it came out. Having a 10inch screen was liberating but the device was heavy and the software was not as robust as it should have been. Not to mention that it was a rather niche device; it was almost impossible to find any case or accessory for it.

Then came the Samsung Note 10.1. Excellent inking, smooth and fast Ul, slim and light, greater availability of cases and accessories; it's a brilliant tablet! For once, I didn't feel that I had to compromise on having a best in class tablet because of my desire for an active stylus.

I didn't regret buying the Flyer or ThinkPad as there weren't any alternatives at that time. But if you are looking for an Android tablet with an active stylus, the Note 10.1 is a no brainer. But even if you are looking for a general use tablet, the Note 10.1 would still be an excellent choice; just treat the stylus as a bonus! ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sharpeyedman:
My family members own both ipad 2 and 3.

Since I hate apple, I decided to get Tegra 3 quad core tablet from Asus as my first tablet.( I Have never even bought an ipod in my life. )

But I started having buyers remorse because I hardly used it. I Just left it on sofa for days. I wondered why I bought a tablet when I do all things on my phone. So I gave away my Asus tablet.

To make story short. I never thought I d buy another tablet but I bought note 10.1

I am so happy that I got this:)

I never had so much fun with a tablet before.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mitchellvii:
The proof is in the pudding.

I previously owned a 7 inch tablet which is now the happy property of my former girlfriend who happens to also be my best friend on the planet (Yeah I know weird. We had geography problems). But I digress. I rarely used it because it was just too much like looking at my phone and my phone was easier to carry around and could make calls. The tablet had a pen I rarely used because 7 inches is just too small for a pen.

I use the SGN10.1 constantly. I never use my phone to surf the web anymore unless I am away from home and when I do the screen seems impossibly tiny.

IMHO there is absolulutely no point in owning a 7 inch tablet. It is a redundancy to your phone. The upcoming Note II goodies we will be getting with the JB update will make this device truly remarkable.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jetbruceli:
I love it!! I mean LOVE it!!

The only thing that I don't like is the resolution.

All day long looking at the s3 and then look at the notes 10.1 1280×720 rez really doesn't compare.

Now when u start doing things like watch a movie while reading the latest xda news at the same time is a treat.

The pen works perfect!!

All I can say is that this is best device I ever gotten!! (Besides my s3)

Hmm you say "7 inches is just too small for a pen" yet when you ran my rom on said tablet you asked if the pen support was intact and mentioned how important pen support was for you. And when the dev got aokp running on it, you use to mention to him all the time how you needed pen support. So for someone who rarely used it, you sure hounded us about it :p :D
