Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 release date set for end-March, priced slightly higher than iPad mini
Share:
The news come from Bulgaria where local etailer Tablet.bg obtained both the price and release date of the Note 8.0.
A Wi-Fi-only version of the Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8.0 will launch at the price of some 699 Bulgarian leva, or the equivalent of 359 euro. In comparison, the iPad mini costs 349 euro for the 16GB Wi-Fi only version.
There will also be a 3G-capable model of the Note 8.0, and its price will be around 869 Bulgarian leva (that translates to some 449 euro).
So far, Samsung’s 8 incher is rumored to have a 1,280 x 800-pixel display (better than the 1,024 x 768-pixel one on the iPad mini), a 1.6GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and the S Pen. That will definitely justify a slightly higher price than the iPad mini, don’t you think?

$250 would be the sweet spot, same as the Nexus 7.
Otherwise, it's overpriced.

i don't think the chipsets are the concern here ...most people give no concern ...they wan't a working device ,and as far as everything goes the Nexus 7 is unbeatable because of its simplicity ...note 8.0 will have to deal it with the nexus 7 (2nd gen)

Even 300 Euros should be OK, but I think Samsung is really over their heads when it comes to tablets. Anyway, let's see what the final price will be when it is finally on the market.

I hope that its priced around $300 because it shouldnt be overpriced like the iPad mini is!! Since I dont have the Note II (AT&T) in my possesion, this would be a great compliment

but according to this comparison (features, capabilities):
goo [dot] gl/OW9X8
this should cost 3x more than iOS devices :)

With my birthday coming up, It'll either be the Note 8.0 or the Nexus 7 as a birthday present. I hope that the Note 8.0 isnt overpriced!!
The Note II was already overpriced when it came out and I hope that the Note 8.0 doesnt follow suit

its great but it has very ugly design...& looks like sgn2 is resize to get sgsn 8.0....

...I think its ugly as hell. Looks wise? iPad mini wins...but thats the only thing it can win in haha

Agree. Galaxy S3 Oversized is ugly. They should have sticked with the original Note 10 design.

Bezels are way too big. Otherwise prefer this to iPad mini

I simply don't like the fact that all Samsung products look the same including the S3, Ativ, Note 2, all the new 2nd rate budget based devices, and now the Note 8. Hell, even the new S4 is rumored to have the same look. The only distinguishing factor, cosmetically, is shear size! Running this look into the ground wouldn't ya think? It's like listening to the same song over and over no matter the tempo, it still gets old!

Im gonna get this ....the Wacom stylus is great on my Note 2 but I want a bigger screen to exploit its full potential....functionality wise, it thrashes the Mini
12. nikenturd (unregistered) posted on 18 Feb 2013, 03:40 1 1
Wacom.technology dont come cheap...plus its 'almost' a Note 2, performance wise it beats the Nexus 7 by a comfortable margin....the price is justifiable IMO

Now I'm tempted to sell my Note 2 and use the 3G (hopefully hspa+) model of this since I don't use it as a phone.
