Third-party reviews

What we like about Samsung Galaxy Note 8 0 4G (2GB + 32GB)

  • Excellent S Pen stylus integration with natural-feeling writing and drawing capabilities
  • Smooth and responsive performance powered by a quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM
  • Effective split-screen multitasking allows running two apps simultaneously
  • Comfortable, portable 8-inch form factor that is easy to hold with one hand
  • Expandable storage via a dedicated microSD card slot

What we don't like about Samsung Galaxy Note 8 0 4G (2GB + 32GB)

  • High price compared to competitors like the iPad Mini and Nexus 7
  • Mediocre battery life that drains quickly under heavy use or high brightness
  • Lower screen resolution (1280x800) compared to newer high-definition tablets
  • Lackluster cameras that produce grainy photos, especially in low light
  • Plastic build quality that can feel less premium or 'slippery' compared to metal rivals
  • No built-in LED flash for the rear camera
  • Down-firing speakers can be easily muffled depending on how the tablet is held

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 4G (GT-N5120) is an 8-inch tablet featuring a 1280 x 800 TFT display and a quad-core 1.6GHz Exynos 4412 processor paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD. Its primary highlight is the integrated S Pen stylus with Wacom technology for precise note-taking and drawing, supported by a 4,600mAh battery and a 5MP rear camera. Main advantages include exceptional multitasking capabilities with split-screen mode and a lightweight, portable design that allows for comfortable one-handed use. However, some users note drawbacks such as lackluster camera performance in low light, a plasticky build that can feel less premium than rivals, and battery life that may struggle under heavy gaming or high brightness.
