Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 WiFi (N5110) is an 8-inch tablet featuring a 1280 x 800 WXGA TFT display and an integrated S Pen with Wacom digitizer technology for precise note-taking and drawing. It is powered by a 1.6GHz quad-core Exynos 4412 processor paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, expandable via a microSD slot up to 64GB. Key characteristics include dual-band WiFi (2.4GHz and 5GHz), a 4,600mAh battery providing up to 8 hours of internet use, and an infrared blaster for TV remote functionality.
