[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Gadgety:
I got a Note 8.0 N-5120 LTE about a month ago from one of the telecoms for £167 without any subscription. Now that tells me there must be a gen II product in the pipeline soon (or it wasn't selling and they had to shift stock for cash, which I doubt).

The S-pen is addictive, despite a slightly laggish entry of letters on the keyboard, and any tablet I get in the future will have the S-pen. Even my kid uses the S-pen. What a blessing, leaving the screen clean rather than full of greasy finger prints. In my view, size wize the screen is perfect, but the Note 8.0 could do with less bezel, a la the Huawei X1 so that it could fit into a jacket pocket. Now it needs a man purse, and I'm not getting one. Around the house it's perfect size wise. I've used it to watch online TV shows while cooking family dinner, and looking at the recipes, while it's small enough to be used beside the desktop screen as a complement, or in bed, or for reading, yet still large enough to watch a movie. The Note also serves as our only modem at home for the desktop and the family phones. With a Thinkoutside foldable BT keyboard and the onboard Polaris Office suite I've used is a tiny laptop in board meetings. I've got Autodesk's Sketchbook for the Galaxy Note, and Infinite Painter, and have used them to create and deliver drawings in formal settings. These apps are coveted and frequently used by my kid. The Nokia BT headphones with APTX are fabulous, except when the Android software scrambles the sound, and makes a screeching noise. Ouch.

Two downsides. One, the camera, poor and without a flash. Two Samsung's software taking over the device. "Would you like to download free apps" without a "No" alternative, once I downloaded from their store, it seems. In a way, there's a third one, the 60GB a month data limit is a tad too low because the Note 8.0 serves so many on line roles.

Now I imagine the 2nd gen will be as powerful as the Tab Pro, but with S-pen to boot. Fabulous. Would I want a 10 inch version? No, not if I had to give up the 8.0. It would be too big. Would I want a Note 3, which I was originally getting? Yes, sometimes, because of portability. But I have an old phone as well, that's almost sufficient, but not quite.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] DroidsEATapples86:
Honestly I am a little disappointed with people's estimation of what the Note 8 (2014/Gen. 2) specs will be.

A lot of people are forgetting that the Note 8 was released after the Note 10.1 and featured identical specs except that it had a slightly faster processor.

Judging from this, the Note 8 2014 specs should be:

Resolution: 2560 x 1600 pixels at the most with 1080 x 1920 pixels being the minimum

Higher pixel density than the Note 10.1 2014, but most likely less than the Note 3

RAM: Minimum 3GB of RAM to match the Note 10.1 2014 and Note 3 prospectively

Camera: 8-13 megapixels

Front facing camera: 2-4 megapixels

Processor: Quad core, 2300 MHz, Krait 400 (at the bare minimum. It could be slightly faster than the Note 10.1 2014, just like the previous model, but at the least it will be equivalent)

Built in Storage: 16GB/32GB.

The above specs should be almost dead on. People tend to forget that the Note 2 and Note 8 had almost identical specs in terms of processing which were both better than the Note 10.1. All 3 share similar resolution and the same amount of RAM.

Since the Note 3 and the Note 10.1 2014 share the exact same RAM and Processing specs, this would lead me to believe that the Note 8 2014 would have the same RAM (3GB) and the same processor (processing speeds) and have the same resolution of the Note 10.1 2014 which is 2560 x 1600.

Why would the new version of the Note 8 have last years RAM and resolution if it is suppose to be in the same line up as the Note 3 and the Note 10.1 2014. To me it just doesn't make any sense.

I will not cave by getting the original Note 8 because though it might be a great product, my Note 3 is much superior in comparison. I want to get the Note 8 2014 and then I will sell my Note 3 to get the S5 (also doesn't make sense having two devices that are nearly identical except for a size difference).

Samsung released the Note 10.1 2014 edition only 8 months after its predecessor and the Note 8 got released last April so according to the timeline we should see the Note 8 2014 edition between now and May at the latest.

Just my two cents.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jlongrc:
I don't need more pixel density, especially as that increases cost of the active digitizer. The current screen looks incredibly sharp, no need to increase just for ****s and giggles. Samsung always gets in these pissing contests of their own making.

Focus on improving the form factor, as the glossy, creaky plastic on my current GN8 along with the ridiculous bezels and curved shape just makes it look silly. The Tab Pro 8.4 looks fine and I hope the next Note 8 looks just like it. That alone is worth an upgrade to me, along with software updates.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] DroidsEATapples86:
I think the current screen of the Note 8 looks okay, but it is not great when you compare it to the Note 3 or Note 10.1 2014 Edition which have amazing screens. I believe it will be very similar to the Tab Pro 8.4 minus the business apps and with the addition of an S-Pen.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] s4vva:
wow that's a great price! do you mind me asking where from and if it is still available?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Gadgety:
Yes, I thought there would have to be a catch, like hidden fees, or some sort of subscription, but no. Had to sign up for a pay as you go account, without any need to use it. It even included a one day of free surfing. Telecom Telia, Sweden. Sold out in a day or two. So that's why I saw it as a "prepare for the new model" kind of deal, as Google did with the Nexus 4.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] DroidsEATapples86:
Well hopefully the price drop is an indication of a new device coming out. I just hope that the price drop wasn't because of the Note 12.2 Pro and the Galaxy Tab 8.4 Pro being released...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Chima2:
Yea, I say. I find what you point out as the more plausible reason for the price drop, namely the new tablets from sammy (specifically the 8 inch Tab Pro despite its lack of stylus). In addition to this, it's been almost a year and so the price would have dropped significantly either way - especially in such a rapid market as tablets. But there's no reason it can't be all of the above; new Note/Tab Pro tablets, fierce competition, depreciation and a new 8" Note on the way.

samsung note 8 2014

They no longer have note 8 available at stores. I think there will be a 2014 note 8 announced soon
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Chima2:
That certainly is good news, though I'm not sure if that's because they want to channel sales to the Galaxy Tab 8 instead. Either way, I'm confident they'll refresh the Note 8 soon too! What a grueling wait.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] DroidsEATapples86:
I really hope that isn't the case because Samsung's "Tab" line-up is quite inferior to their Note line-up. That being said, the other news of Note 8s not being availble in stores anymore can be taken as a good sign, but it is just so strange that we haven't heard any news yet.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] andyrubin1:
I just made it up. :p
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] SuperDove:
come on samsung! You must be tired of losing sales to the iPad mini by now!

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] gnestor:
Samsung just announced galaxy note 2014.

Check out this website

FINALLY!!!!:victory:

samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxynote/note8.0/[
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Shofar1:
This is last years Note 8.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Chima2:
Sure is. Can't blame the poor guy though, I think I got excited a few weeks back when saw that page myself. It says the 'new note 8' after all :cyclops:

Time's a tickin, Sammy.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] twospirits:
I've come to the conclusion that xda is affecting my blood pressure. Getting me all excited and then disappointed in a matter of seconds. lol :silly:

You figure with so many Note versions getting a second or even a third generation, it would only seem fair for the Note 8.0 to get one as well.

New Tab line

Fresh off the press over at Engadget, we're hearing that the new

Tab

line is slated for a april 24th release. Unbelievable that there's another Tab line on the way... No mentione of Note, but we can only hope it'll turn up there. If not, I doubt we'll see one at all until after summer.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Katsurage:
I found it disappointing that the new 2014 Pro line 8.4 is only a 'Tab' not a 'Note'. For myself at least the 8 is the perfect size for a on the go pen based tablet.

Maybe an announcement will come later?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] DroidsEATapples86:
This makes me nervous because it seems like the Note tablet line might end with the Note 10.1 2014 Edition. There are absolutely no rumors regarding the second generation Note 8 or even the next Note 10.1, however, we are still months and months away and Note 4 rumors and specs are now coming in.

I like the Tab Pro 8.4, but it does not have an S pen and that is the main reason I want the tablet in the first place (its for college). For me the 8 inch tablet with an S pen is the perfect size. People say well then get the original Note 8, but it seems sort of like a waste when my Note 3 is the better device. I just really hope we get some info soon because I am getting really tired of waiting. It's April this week and we still have no news or rumors whatsoever.

Also, I wonder that if the Note 8 gen. 2 does get released if it will have the same CPU as the Galaxy S5 which is currently Samsung's best CPU since it would be strange to relase a new device with last year's CPU.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Chima2:
I'm also waiting impatiently for it as I want it for school. No rumours on specs, no leaked pics or anything. Dead. Very strange to me, and it has me too fearing there might be no Note 8 2014.

I'm wondering if Samsung's new legal quarrel with Apple is what is slowing Note 8 down? Maybe they're worried it could serve in Apple's favour? Though I doubt it, maybe their funds are tied up in legal stuff too. No more money for Note? :P
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] nymviper1126:
Any thoughts that maybe the new AMOLED tablets will be Notes, replacing the 10.1 2014 and the N8? I dont think anyone would bat an eye with them dropping the N10.1 2014, and introducing NotePro's at 8.4 and 10.5 inches
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Chima2:
Absolutely! Most of us have had the thought, I'm sure. But they started mass production just recently, so that means we're looking at a Q3 release perhaps. Here's some recent info reiterating what we've been hearing for some time.

"A new family of Samsung tablets has been spotted at the FCC — the SM-T800 models, which may be a new line of high-end devices for the company that will join existing Note and Pro models, rather than the previously leaked Galaxy Tab 4 that is also expected to arrive this year.(...) Benchmark results for a SM-T700 tablet have appeared on GFXBench recently, revealing the device would have an 8.4-inch screen with 2560 x 1600 resolution. It’s not clear whether this device would also offer an AMOLED display."
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] nymviper1126:
Im starting to think the 10.5 may go to Google, since it doesn't really fit in. i really hope the 8.4 is a Note, or else its going to Google or just a TabPro+ confusing product space.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Chima2:
Not an unreasonable thought. I believe 8.4 is a good size for a light tablet, and could definitely be a new Note. But at this point we are grasping at straws.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] SuperDove:
Does anyone know if there's been any development in stylus technology that could be used on a Tab? I can see if an accurate (enough for Handwriting) and ergonomic bluetooth stylus was available then it would impact Note sales significantly. I'm guessing most users wouldn't miss the pressure sensitivity. Some would obviously but not most.

meh
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] nymviper1126:
Samsung is reportedly working on building in stylus recognition without the need for a digitizer layer and chip.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] drexappeal:
Seems odd that they had fairly recently purchased a portion of WACOM, only to not develop it more.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] nymviper1126:
Im sure it wont be ready for a few years on a mass scale. The 5% gives them bargaining power.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Spidey01:
There are also styli like the Lyntec Apex that aren't Bluetooth and just use a battery to achieve performance closer to the S-Pen.

Thing is, it's much easier to charge a tablet and dock a little stick than it is to be constantly replacing stylus batteries and stuffing it on your case.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] matapo:
Any Update?

No news on any successor still, right? Would love a 2014/2015 model!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] SuperDove:
Have just bought a tab 3 8 inch. It'll tide me over for a bit.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Chima2:
How's the Tab holding up? I'm just stuck on the idea of an easily accessible stylus, which is why I won't bother to even try a Tab. But maybe I'm wrong, heaven knows I barely touched my stylus when I had my Note I and II (due to lack of viable screen estate, really). The Tab treating you nice? Do tell.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] SuperDove:
Occasionally slow. Convenient size. Missing stylus for note taking and drawing. Will persevere. Loads of stores discounting in uk now. Will reassess for an 8 inch note later but tab so cheap I don't mind waiting now.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ScottieB:
I use my stylus on my Note II all the time, but the lack of screen real estate makes it tough sometimes. The note 8 would be perfect... if it weren't so old at this point.

I tried a Tegra Note 7, and while it is ok, the Wacom stylus is so much better on my Note 2 than the stylus on the Tegra Note.

Still nothing on an update to the Note 8???
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] mrbandwidth:
This could be the cause (though the original source is Digitimes, not very trusted): Nexus 8 (by HTC, stylus?):

http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/21/htc-nexus-8/
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ScottieB:
Just might be, but no mention of a stylus there at all. I think those of us who use it regularly are in the (vast?) minority -- but I'm getting ready to get a note 10.1 if there's no word on the 8 soon. I just really don't wanna spend $550 on it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dtaylorr:
Old???

I love that is just barely over a device a year old is now OLD.;)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ScottieB:
It does suck, but with Samsung's price premiums, I'm not paying over $200 for a device that is slow by today's standards. The Note 8 was a bit long in the tooth when it came out as I recall... (same processor as Note 2, which I have and is getting old, and only 1280x800 screen).

Every other Note tablet has been updated, they even made a 12"!!!. When did Samsung start charging apple prices?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jgaviota:
The thing with our Note 8.0 is that when it came out it didn't use what was the best hardware back then. As I understand it we got the innards of a S3 instead of a S4. That is why it feels more than a year old :crying:

;)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dtaylorr:
I have yet to run into anything this tablet won't do. :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Martins2759:
Give me the look of the new tabs (magazine ux) and my note 8 will not feel old at all! :D Seriously, with the price they are going for, if the update is good, why would you want to upgrade while having a tight budget? :) Im really happy with my note so far, and im sure this will continue on :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dtaylorr:
I agree. I finally am happy with my tablet, (after about 4 different ones), and plan on keeping this one for a while.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] gnestor:
I tried to order note 8 brown-black with Samsung and they are out of stock. Most of the big box stores are sold out of note 8.

I hope a new note 8 is coming. Note 10.1 is too big for my needs.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Idan73:
I just feel that 8.4 pro is such a shame that it wasn't released as a note series with s-pen.

Sent from my LG-D803
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] twospirits:
Totally Agree
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Spidey01:
I'm just hoping the next iteration sticks with a similar size to 8" and doesn't balloon closer to an iPad. A 16:10 8 incher is a great balance between the compactness of a 16:10 7" tablet and still being equally useful in landscape mode as portrait.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] californiarailroader:
I have a Note 10.1 2014 Edition and a Note 8.0, might as well have the best of both worlds :D I thought about the 8.4 Pro to replace the Note 8.0, but the lack of an S Pen and all it's awesome features changed my mind.

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------

I agree too.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] CCJ22:
I'd like to be able to make phone calls and send text on the note 8 just like I can on the n5120 note 8 I have
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Chima2:
Still no word on the Note 8 2014.

I caved and got myself an Xperia Z Ultra for about $450. I'm waiting for the next Note 8, or possibly the new Z Ultra 2. Either way, if this device is satisfactory I'll be able to hold on till the prices of new said devices are a bit lower.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Spidey01:
Samsung's Amazon entry for the Note 8 now has a '2013 Model' in the name. This makes me wonder if there will be a 2014 version later this year or early next year.

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...sim_cps_8?ie=UTF8&refRID=0A9XB5X4X7AAAWHHVTRA
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ogre8:
I was told by a store the current model is marked as end of life. The product manger for samsung for the chain of stores, he told me that he believes a new model is in the works. But all he knew for sure was that the current model is marked as end of life.

That pricing deal from Amazon also hints at a close out. A close out with '2013 Model' does suggest there will be a new one. Here is hoping.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ogre8:
I now notice several mentions of a 'note pro 8.5'. This would appear to be the sucessor and apparently it has been on display. Anyone know anymore?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Milhouse82:
Does anyone think that there could possibly be a new Note 8 at the 2014 Galaxy Premiere event on June 12th?

This is the only device that really excites me. I have owned all Samsung note products and I just was not impressed by the previous Note 8.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] VoltageNZ:
I sure hope so... I'm absolutely hanging out for a new 8inch note product although with the word 'Tab' hanging around the event chances may be slim. Only a few more days till we find out!
