Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 might cost $250-$300, affordable 7-incher to arrive for $150-$200
This following speculation is pretty common sense, but reports are that Samsung is prepping a new batch of 7-10" tablets for launch in the first half of the year and avoid direct confrontation with an eventual iPad refresh.

The 7-incher will allegedly be the most affordable of Samsung's upcoming slates, at $149-$199, depending on the memory configuration, while a step up will arrive in the form of the Galaxy Note 8.0, which we saw in the leaked H1 roadmap today.

The 8" tablet with S Pen functionality will reportedly cost $249-$299, which is a pretty decent pricing for a stylus toting slate, and a tad less than Apple's iPad mini, which will be its direct competitor. Nothing is said about the 10-incher, but you might have heard that the Nexus 10 is about to receive a graphics refresh later in the year.

$250 for a mid-range tablet with a Wacom digitizer is great price, would definitely consider getting one, but $300 is more realistic. I also hope the improved Nexus 10 rumors are true, either of these tablets would be a great buy.

i must wait to see the final specs to decide about my first tablet.

I like the price, plus the added features is something I'm looking forward to since I'm helping with scanlations

Dear Lord! 1.It is a Samsung; 2. With Android and...3. It uses a stylus?!! What could be worse?! Oh, the price! :) Dear guys from Samsung, the last time I used a stylus was 6 years ago with my Nokia 5800, damn! :)))

looking forward for these notes to hit..

This is sometihng I'll honestly get. I wanted the Nexus 7, but if they are going to come out with a 7 or 8in version of the Note II, im all for it

14. funnyguy posted on 23 Jan 2013, 13:35

The price is fantastic, years ago the galaxy tab 7.7 used to cost 450 euro in my country and now we have 8 inch tablets for 300.
One correction though , the note 8 will compete against the ipad mini 2, not against the current ipad mini.

I already dreaming of one

Samsung has gone from being a company with a reputation for cheap products to becoming one of the most respected companies in the world.
