I own the Note 2, but this is a pretty sweet device for drawing and painting because it has a larger screen.

I might get this I wanted the 10.1 but I wanted something around this size now I have to see which one to get. I already have samsung galaxy tab which i love.

how do you get tickets to those conferences?

[Madridista]

I don't care if it will cost 100$ more. I want a durable elegant high quality design. not only the back covers, Samsung's build quality in general is horrible. and I prefer non-removable back covers because they look and feel much better.

Just because this tablet is made of plastic, doesn't mean it has a removable battery. Just saying. I don't see why you need to be so negative towards people who use apple products. Let people use what they want. In no way does it affect you if somebody else prefers an iPad over a Note.

Can anyone tell me how much 4000 mAh battery can last

[PrenzT]

This wasn't meant to replace the Note 2 -_-

They added the call function just in case you wanted to call someone using speaker or headphones why ur so upset just don't use the function if u don't want to !

According to the verge this can make calls. WHY DAFUQ WOULD YOU MAKE CALLS ON AN 8 INCH SLATE???

Poor Matt didn't have the wit or common sense to work that out for himself....

awesome, i will add this to my Samsung family gadgets.
like all the cool features and the fact that it is not alloy. alloy sucks as it gets horrible signal, heavy, non removable back, no expandable storage, etc...funny how fanboys buy crapple due to alloy material and put a cover on it, very iStupid. oh, i forgot, they have no choice to buy the crapple phone cause they only have one model LOL !

looks like a s3 on steroids but its better than an apple

[TheVinaykanani]

Lazy tbh, it is just a slightly larger note II

[Madridista]

Great device, horrible design as always. I hope Samsung's new devices will look better and they REALLY need to get rid of the plastic back covers.

[FilRuss]

looks like an s3 just drank steroids and worked out

i give note 2 a pass but this thing is just too big!
