Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 3G is an 8-inch tablet featuring a WXGA TFT display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels and 189 ppi. It is powered by a 1.6 GHz quad-core Exynos 4412 processor paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which is expandable via a microSD slot up to 64GB. Key characteristics include a built-in S Pen stylus with 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity, 3G cellular connectivity with phone capabilities, and an IR blaster for remote control functionality. Main pros include its responsive multitasking via Multi-View, the highly functional S Pen for note-taking and drawing, and a portable design that is easier to hold with one hand than larger tablets. However, common cons include a plastic build that some find cheap, lackluster 5MP rear and 1.3MP front cameras without a flash, and a non-removable 4,600 mAh battery that often struggles to last through a full day of heavy use.
