[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kgptzac:
It's a shame. I can't think of a reason why Note 8 doesn't get a new iteration as Samsung is flooding the market with this many new toys that caters to everyone... except the old Note 8 users.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] twospirits:
So true.

Try as I may, I can't find any article highlighting how many Note 8.0 have been sold so far. There are a few on the other Note devices but nothing on the Note 8.0. One can read into that and say that they haven't sold many (which is why there wasn't any announcement) which may indicate the decision not to make a 2nd generation of the device. :(

Oh well I still like my Note 8.0, but I was hoping for a 2nd generation that would have a thinner bezel, higher resolution camera, 4G/LTE on all carriers, super AMOLED display, USB 3.0, USB Host, image stabilization, 3GB Ram, 32-64GB Storage,etc, basically a Note 3/4 on steroids. Sort of looking like this concept model.

And although I currently have the Wifi version, in hindsight should have gotten the 4G/LTE version (even if it was on AT&T only). Since all points are leaning to the Note 8.0 not getting a replacement, I just might sell mine and get the AT&T version, unlock it and get a T-Mobile sim card. I just have to figure out how that's done and which plan to get. Guess its time for another thread. ;)

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] afblangley:
You may want to consider getting the N5100. You lose LTE capability, but you gain the ability to make phone calls. Plus, you can put it on the best value data plan in the country, T-Mobile's 5GB for $30. I don't think the SGH-i467 is eligible for that plan since it's flagged as a tablet instead of a smartphone. BTW, that's a distinction AT&T makes as well, the N5100 is ineligible for data only plans, unless manually overwritten.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ogre8:
Or buy a 5120 that is not AT&T? Normal LTE n5120s can make phone calls.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] afblangley:
The 5120 isn't suitable for AT&T, different specs. See the links posted in the thread "differences between 5100 and i467".
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ogre8:
The original question was about getting the 5100, and I did not pick up that the goal was to use it on AT&T. I would have thought if you could use the 5100, then you could use the 5120 but I am not from the US and perhaps making silly assumptions. It could be the 5120 is not compatibile with US 4g I guess meaning that in the US it would be 3g only. I tried searching on "differences between 5100 and i467" but it did not yield a thread. :(
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] afblangley:
The 5100 and 5120 use different frequencies. In either case, it's limited to 3G HSPA at best. With the 5120, 2G would be encountered more frequently.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] lp894:
Well, Lets remember, it was over 1.5 years between the Note 10.1 and the Note 10.1 2014 Edition. The Note 8 was BARELY released a year ago. Last April. Which was over a year after the original note 10.1. The Tab 7.7 just got it's replacement in the form of the Tab S 8.4 lol
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Kumabjorn:
It's a bit surprising that they are holding on to the old model. I wish Microsoft would implement inking in OneNote, then a pen like the new Surface Pro 3 pen would be ideal on a Note 8.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] twospirits:
I believe the Pro 3 switched from Wacom to N-Trig technology for the pen, so even if MS implemented inking in OneNote, you wouldn't be able to use the Pro 3 pen on a Note 8. I do like the flip backstand it has. Sort of reminds me of the Sony Flip laptop hybrid series. Still 12 inches is a bit more than I would like (portability wise in a tablet). the Note 8 is the sweet spot.

TS
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Kumabjorn:
The Bluetooth switch for instant OneNote had nothing to do with N-Trig, the same feature can be implemented in a Wacom stylus.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] DroidsEATapples86:
Yeah you are definitely correct. The time between the originally Note 10.1 and the Note 10.1 2014 Edition was rougly 20 months.

It has only been 14 months since the release of the Note 8, so I am assuming there will be at least some kind of an announcement in the next month or so with a suspected Fall release. At first I was worried that Samsung was going to do away with that whole product line, however, the new iPad mini is coming out soon and the Google Nexus 8 is also suspected to be released in the Fall. Those two tablet's are the only thing that are standing in between Samsung's complete domination of the market. If Samsung didn't make an the Note 8 2014/2015 it would just be moronic business logic and a poor business strategy to say the least.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Gadgety:
How many have they sold?

I got mine so astonishingly cheaply, off contract, that I suspected a replacement would be out shortly. As I haven't heard anything I reflected that either it was sponsored research into price sensitivity, or the carrier just had ordered too many of them and the Note 8.0 LTE wasn't selling...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ogre8:
Yes, except the Note 10.1 was never listed anywhere as end-of-life prior to the 10.1 2014 edition as far as I know. There are great deals on the note 8 because the stores are clearing them out. Some stores here in Aust have already cleared all stock and have no replacement. The product is listed as discontinued. I went to a Samsung showcase store today and asked staff there. Admittedly these guys are marketers and do not always know but they said the 12" note was selling well and as far as they knew this was the new direction, but they did think there wouldbe a new 10 inch Note as well, but they were less certain. From their perspective the 8" note is dead, and the tabS products are like a note without the pen.

Nvidia Shield Tablet

It's a 8 inch tablet with stylus made for gaming...

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] zw_j_li:
"capacitive" stylus differentiated itself from note series. targeted at a totally different segment of customers which focusing on gaming, not stylus.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] afblangley:
I'm becoming increasingly concerned that Samsung may abandon the 7-8" size in the Note series. This would be devastating to me as I have become dependent on the stylus as my primary means of input. There are not many tablets with stylus in the market. So while I have no interest in gaming, the new Nvidia seems to be a decent tablet. I appreciate their efforts and hope they sell a lot of them. I don't think it's a threat to the current Note 8. But same time next year, if it's updated and there is no new Note 8, some of us will be jumping ship.

I don't like this new trend of not building phone functionality into tablets. In the past, Samsung has included it in every series of tablets it's released. Apparently that's not the case with the Tab Pro and Tab S. I think that is a step backwards. We don't have to use it as a phone, but it's nice to have a choice.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] mach281:
This past week I visited Best Buy. I passed the Samsung displays and I noticed the Galaxy TAB 8.x and 10.1 both had Super HD AMOLED displays. Big mistake. Those TABS were phenomenally gorgeous!! From the beginning I've wanted one of those displays on my Note 8. Its sad that Samsung hasn't given its Note Tablets an AMOLED.

Besides the pen what do we give up switching to the TAB? My Windows phone needs updating so maybe I should replace it with the Note 3? Decisions, decisions...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] zw_j_li:
Would recommend you to wait for Note 4, probably just 1 month away...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] lp894:
The pen IS the drawing factor for the note series. If you don't need/use the pen, don't waste your money. And I say waste because you're paying a $100 premium to get the pen. The Note 2014 10.1 is $499. It's EXACTLY the same as the Tab Pro 10.1 just has the spen/digitizer. Same processor, display resolution, build factor, battery, everything is the same except the pen.

Personally, I use the pen on a regular basis for taking notes/doodles/as a mouse function on certain websites/etc. So for me, I have to have the pen. I've looked at the LyncTek precision stylus and I hear it's really good. I considered getting the Tab 8.4 and that. But that would still run me $310. (250 for a refurbished tab 8.4 and $60 for the stylus). I could sell my note 8 for $2-250, but I don't think I'd be getting that much of an upgrade. I get a better display resolution, bit faster processor, better camera.

I personally like the bigger bezels on the Note. They're needed to hold the note and write at the same time. Gives you room to hold it comfortably while writing. Do you think the bezels on the Note 10.1 HAVE to be that big? I doubt it.

I also think the camera is moot point. The camera on the note isn't bad...but I'm definitely not reaching for my tablet to snap photos especailly when I have a note 3 in my pocket or a digital camera in my car lol

The processor is faster, no question, but is the small increase in real world speed worth the price of the upgrade?(considering I only paid $150 for mine lol) Especially considering I've rooted my note 8 and have 4.4.2 installed anyway...so it's pretty snappy on it's own anyway.

Idk, ultimately, I think I'm going to stick with my Note 8. If they update it, I'll jump on it but we'll ahve to see
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ajay67:
you mean to say that LyncTek stylus with Tab 8.4 perform as good as a stylus on note 8? i am considering Tab 8.4 myself but would like to have proper stylus function
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Shofar1:
For me the stylus is important because the programs I use convert my handwriting to text. Would that work with the 8.4 and the LyncTek stylus?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] lp894:
I've HEARD good things about it. I haven't dropped the $60 to buy one for myself yet lol. But I know it works well with the nexus 7 and the tab 3 I believe i saw the review with. So I'm assuming it would work well with the Tab 8.4 as well. I don't know HOW good it works. And I know it's not pressure sensitive either, but if you're using a note like "Memo" or if there was a way to get S-Note on the 8.4(which it should be) then I might consider switching

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] mickeystar:
Hi decided to post here as it seems most active.

Im looking to get a note 8 (mainly to use for note taking at university), however i can't seem to find anywhere online for a good price (around £200), i can see sinasburys/asda are selling the note 10 (older edition) for around the same price as the note 8, so it would make sense to buy a note 10 however what I like about the note 8 is that is seems to be the perfect size.

Do you think a new note 8 will be released soon? As I'm hoping to find a good deal for the note 8 so if a new one is released soon hopefully the price of the older one will fall.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ogre8:
All inidications are the Note 8 is no longer being produced and no new model note 8 is planned. The direction is the Note 12 as a tablet instead of the note 8. If you want a note 8 and you see one at a good price then best to buy it as when stores are sold out no new stock is comming.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] mickeystar:
Thanks for the advice

As I'm going to mainly use the note 8 for note taking is it worth making the step up to the old note 10, which is only £50 more expensive. Although i feel that the note 8 is the perfect size but it seems much better value for money getting the note 10 (although i dont see myself needing the extra screen size)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ivybridge:
If all you are doing is note taking in class or meetings, then absolutely. I have used both, and 10.1 is simply a much better "workhorse" if you are taking notes for long periods of time. The 8.0 is much more portable, and better for carrying around and jotting down random things, as well as working alongside a laptop (so that the desk space doesn't get too cramped). If you are carrying around a single device (tablet only) and use that through a good part of the day, then the note 10.1 is the obvious choice.

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

Yeah, it seems that Samsung is moving in the direction of the 10.1 + 12.2 as the Note tablet lineup. I'm not really holding out hope that the 8.0 will be updated in the future. I guess the 10.1 must have sold much better than the 8.0 model. And for people who use this for extended period of time for writing or drawing, that makes complete sense.

It's possible that the new Note lineup will include some novel formfactor phone, possibly something foldable, that can be made to have a screen of 7-8' range, but that seems to be at least a year off.

The best alternative on the market right now seems to be the Nvidia Shield tablet. It should have nearly as good pen functionality compared to the Note (obviously missing functions like Air view and the like), and should have top end internals. Other than that, the 8 inch stylus market is pretty bare.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ajay67:

Still no news on this? Gadget depression is setting in... It is hard to justify a Note 8.0 when comparing with the tab S 8.4, but there's the matter of the lacking stylus. The nvidia shield looks quite good, but no digitizer and no multiwindow kills it for me.

Bring on the refresh, Samsung! What are they waiting for?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Kirrrr:
Yep... Note 4 is here and no word about Note 8".

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] aamir123:
I have the Shielt tablet, if you have any questions I can try to answer.

No active digitizer but the pen works pretty well IMO. I didn't own the Note 8 but the only thing you may be missing is hover and button on stylus. I have played with the note 8 and can say that the shield tablets stylus is better in hand to me. But performance wise the note 8 probably gets a slight edge if the problem of inaccuracy has been fixed (was looking into note 8 earlier). Honestly I am still waiting to see if Note 8 2014 comes around but overall I'm very happy with the shield. Also shield is stock android and with a little rooting you can always install Xposed and theres a module to get multiwindow. Head it works pretty well.

Oh, please... The "C-Pen" is just a good "passive" stylus for a general capasitive screen sensor which used on most tablets. It doesn't have any revolutionary things. In fact "C-Pen" is just a buzzword, a marketing shuck. It is not a "technology".

From Note 8.0 to Tab S 8.4

I was careless and my drink fell, got into my Note 8.0 and there you go can't claim warranty. The cost to repair is the same as new tablet. Then I bought Tab S 8.4 and it blew me away. The screen is much more brighter when use outside compared to Note. Except it has no S Pen. I would love if it has S Pen, waterproof and has S Planner widget on the home screen.
