So long i've been waiting for this video. what took you so long.. !!! BTW, thanks

[ziaaaa]

I'm really considering the Note 8 for the specs, multi-tasking, S pen and micro SD slot. Is the tablet experience better though? Or are the apps still like stretched phone apps?

[BOSSYtexasCHICK]

very good job handling all 3 of those and also being rushed, great job on that quik review! The Note 8.0 looks decent, but it could REALLY have impressed me w/ 1920x1080 res... oh well, maybe Gal Note 8.0 II : )

ive been researching all day and it's very clear that the nexus 7 wins for people with a lower budget- that includes young people like me :) i was saving up for an ipod touch until i came across a bunch of cheaper alternatives of an ipad mini- which i'd actually wanted but was too expensive 4 me. unless u want evry single app on the itunes market, u can get away with prtty much evrything u can do on an ipad on the N7. the only thing is: no rear-facing camera. but a new N7 is comin out come July!

I would like to buy tablet which of them do you recommend me? Nexus Samsung Or Ipad products?

[richiem]

You said there is a "SIM" card for the NOTE 8.0... So does it mean it is a phone too?? or just for data like the ipads??? thanks

[WhatsYourPointBro]

Nice one Fandroid. The iPad Mini is a pretty powerful tablet but has a 7.9 inch display, so you can't compare this device with the Nexus and the Note since they have a 7 inch display. The Nexus is obviously better since it has a Tegra 3 Quad core 1.3ghz processor, while the Note features a 1ghz dual core processor. The iPad Mini has a better web browsing experience, many more apps that are optimized for tablets. You gotta accept the FACTS and stop hating on a device you never even touched.

When is the Note 6 going to be released?

[khaganiasadli]

thank u, i have one question too, i would like to buy any tablet for study purpose, in this case you again advise me to buy ipad ???

[fdama]

It is also narrow at 16:9 which is good for watching video content but not good for reading/browsing. The iPad Mini is 4:3 which is better for reading and browsing

[PRhymes]

Love you for your beautiful opinion, will go with the ipad mini, certain

[rihannapondereplay]

The iPad mini looks like a blown up iPod touch 5. I love Apple for their computers and for phones, but for tablets I'm gonna have to go with Android. Such a better experience. And I'm kind of liking the way the Note 8.0 looks. I like having a physical home button.

[joshstube]

Where are the speaker(s) located on the Note 8??

[JasonJia]

I'm getting the next generation of the Nexus 7 which might come out in June, one month before my birthday!

[xxcheekymonkeyxx]

i dont understand why they raised the camera on the note, it just makes it easier to crack if you drop it.

Note 8.0 - quad core 1.6GHz processor, 2GB RAM
iPad mini - dual core 1GHz processor, 512MB RAM

It should have been mentioned that the Note 8.0 can also make phone calls.

[einc]

2gig of ram is good. I ll take the Note... cheap looking? what s under the hood matters and good dev support.

[helali_s]

While I used to agree, look the PlayStore now, there is an extraordinary amount of tablet apps after the latest samsung and nexus 10 tablets came out.
The web experience is the same really, only better on powerful devices like the nexus 10 or the note 10.1 because of the better processor and more RAM.

[fihyuun]

I'd recommend you the samsung note 8.0 :) sure the design of the apple mini is a big win but it's no match with the note's ability to have 2 separate windows at the same time, greater graphics, more applications and the best part about it that it's all in one tablet.
