Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 spy shots pop up

0. phoneArena posted on 24 Jan 2013, 07:48

The thing looks as the larger brother of the Galaxy S III and Note II, complete with an elliptical home button at the bottom when held in portrait mode...

now lets see if its priced right hope so.

its an iPad mini competitor...so you'll see it on $250-300 price point..

but on the look wise, iPad mini slayed it..even though note 8 has better specs but ipad mini is made with premium looking materials and aluminum... while this one is merely plastic..

I will buy
ABSOLUTELY!!

15. _Bone_ posted on 24 Jan 2013, 08:29 4

For $250 with a microSD slot, me too. The only competition would be a doubled CPU/GPU-core Nexus 10.

Actually, the iPad is made of cheap materials. You can literally bend it with an small amount of pressure.

30. _Bone_ posted on 24 Jan 2013, 09:12 2

Also, there's so much space between subpixels that you can see your fingers on the other side.

Really, Hey guys we have a genius here. Who knows lot about built quality. Man just send your CV to Samsung.

50. darkkjedii posted on 24 Jan 2013, 16:22 1

Yeah ok

37. donfem posted on 24 Jan 2013, 10:35 1

That shows exactly what others have always said about why people buy ianything... "looks." Performance does not matter according to you.

46. rusticguy posted on 24 Jan 2013, 15:00 1 1

Plastics will become premium once Apple releases Al-Zebra (not Algebra) phones along with Math :D

51. belovedson posted on 24 Jan 2013, 17:07

i have a tab 2 7 inch lte. its comprised of plastic but its pretty heavy with a case. tablets in the 7 to 8 inch range should be light, portable, and data capable outside of lte.

if its heavy its a pain in the arse especially when you can't sit still like me and constantly changing angles, body position, while holding the tablet mid-air

Samsung please dont use plastic again for gs iv, really hate it feels cheap and not luxurious

25. RaKithAPeiRiZ posted on 24 Jan 2013, 09:05 5

oh look ....a One X is sneaking around

47. zuckerboy posted on 24 Jan 2013, 15:25

LOL :D

31. rf1975 posted on 24 Jan 2013, 09:20 5 2

When Apple release iPAD people blame / described it as big iPOD/iPhone,

2. MC1123 posted on 24 Jan 2013, 07:55 11

29. maxis3G (unregistered) posted on 24 Jan 2013, 09:12

maybe they partner with hyundai...
who knows...

34. s.mrabet posted on 24 Jan 2013, 09:39 2

when i look at this hyundai, i see a big SGS3!!!
from the corners to the home button to the positioning of the back camera`, speaker and flashlight!!!!

40. Martine posted on 24 Jan 2013, 11:00

Hyundai's T7 looks more like a smaller Nexus 10 (which is a Samsung design) with a home button while this one looks like a Galaxy SIII MAXI!

3. Titanicology posted on 24 Jan 2013, 07:56 2 5

Lol, it's like someone found Goliath's S3!

4. GTR722 posted on 24 Jan 2013, 07:57 8 6

Holy cow...it looks horrible....hope the design "grown on us" like the GS3

5. tech2 posted on 24 Jan 2013, 07:57

if its priced somewhere near Nexus 7 it would sell like sh*t !!!!

10. RaKithAPeiRiZ posted on 24 Jan 2013, 08:19

good thing is ...it will , consider this as the "s3 of Mini tablets"

7. antmiu2 posted on 24 Jan 2013, 08:01 1 5

too big!

5mp camerea 0.o

8. spiderpig2894 posted on 24 Jan 2013, 08:07 1 3

what have they done to the design??? O_o

11. CorianU posted on 24 Jan 2013, 08:20 5 4

That design is awful. I already have a Note 2, why would I want the same thing but bigger?

12. anGel_pLayer posted on 24 Jan 2013, 08:24 2 1

At least they should have make it look like the Tab 2

13. kobainez posted on 24 Jan 2013, 08:26 1

looks like hyundai t7 tablet lolhttp://blog.gsmarena.com/hyundai-t7-android-tablet-packs-galaxy-s-iii-chipset-7-wxga-ips-screen-for-166/

14. Andrewtst posted on 24 Jan 2013, 08:28 5 3

Is time Samsung change Design!

43. ElektronicGeek91 posted on 24 Jan 2013, 13:05 1

How about you go say that to Apple bro....same style and layout since I was a teenager.

16. jove39 posted on 24 Jan 2013, 08:30 1 1

Its 8" Note...not a tablet ;)

17. CX3NT3_713 posted on 24 Jan 2013, 08:33 1

Looks great :-) .. I had the tab 2 (P3100).. It was too slow,, if this has 4G phone/SMS, ill buy

18. taz89 posted on 24 Jan 2013, 08:33 1

Finally a tablet without on screen button... hate them they just come in the way... Looks like my nexus 7 will be gone soon.

19. mick25 (banned) posted on 24 Jan 2013, 08:34 2 1

fake.

20. protozeloz posted on 24 Jan 2013, 08:38 2 2

DA fork? Home button? You insane Sammy? Please get rid of it already.... Stop trying at it =_=

24. wendygarett (limited) 5 days ago posted on 24 Jan 2013, 09:05 2

Maybe Sammy wanna make the device horizontally comfortable, just like iPad mini :)

27. mick25 (banned) posted on 24 Jan 2013, 09:09 1

hurr durr

the first galaxy tab was "horizontal"

54. protozeloz posted on 24 Jan 2013, 18:08

First galaxy tab was horizontally comfortable, and second one too but why include this home button when its not needed because we have touch ones instead

21. DKMDROID posted on 24 Jan 2013, 08:48 2 2

Hate how it looks the price is so attractive and it looks terrible its like a big note 2 and although it has last years tech, in my opinion its still relevant as opposed to the dual-core enclosed in the iPad mini they just need to get rid of those buttons then ill be waiting in line for this one (yea i do believe there will be a line for it)

23. mick25 (banned) posted on 24 Jan 2013, 08:53 1

get rid of the home button and make it landscape orientation, then it's like the nexus 10 mini.

26. imkyle posted on 24 Jan 2013, 09:05 1

I am so digging that physical button

52. bparkerson posted on 24 Jan 2013, 17:44

What???...I just don't get it. Digging a physical home button. ..What??? The physical buttons are the only thing I cant stand with these new Samsung devices. Don't get me wrong I love Samsung , but I wont buy another without on screen buttons!

28. dorianb posted on 24 Jan 2013, 09:09 1

Physical Home button & the bezel in portrait mode is STILL too big. *sigh*

33. alidxb posted on 24 Jan 2013, 09:37 2

This is hyundai tablet not note 8.0

35. CorianU posted on 24 Jan 2013, 09:49 2

I hope your right

36. dan_md posted on 24 Jan 2013, 10:05 2 2

It has come to the point where the pebble design language has become a tiresome design. Sure, it would be cheap but not at the expense of creativity. The Nexus 7, which costs less, looks every bit a premium and more ergonomically sound than the knee-jerk Apple iPad mini.

38. steelicon posted on 24 Jan 2013, 10:36 1

I would have preferred Galaxy Note 10.1 design and at least an LED flash with front facing camera (which this one has, apparently).

39. skymitch89 posted on 24 Jan 2013, 10:43 1

Funny how the person has a "Note 8.0" but also has what looks to be an HTC One X.

41. Crowsticks posted on 24 Jan 2013, 11:32

Why would it have a speaker grate if it's a tablet...
This looks just like a Galaxy S3 but stretched out.
I honestly think it's a fake picture...

42. emadshiny posted on 24 Jan 2013, 11:59 1 1

a large note2, nothing else.
even there is some kind of retardation in it as far as there is no sign of stylus.

44. KingKurogiii posted on 24 Jan 2013, 13:22

noooooooo, lose the home and capacative keys! >>

45. techguy22 posted on 24 Jan 2013, 14:01

meh. looks like a huge note 2. and i already got a nexus 7 with almost the same specs. waitinf for nexus 7.7 full HD ,,,

48. flipjzn posted on 24 Jan 2013, 15:44

I can never get over why Samsung can't come up with a nicely build product. My GS3 is scratch and has cracks all over. I wish specs + good quality build would be on top of their list this year.

49. darkkjedii posted on 24 Jan 2013, 16:21

Sammy making their new tablets look like their phones. Hmmmm wonder where they got that idea. Great looking device by the way.

53. ashb22 posted on 24 Jan 2013, 17:44

That home button seems out of place on a tablet.
