Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is finally official: S Pen supporting tablet
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has just been officially confirmed and it’s as real as you imagined it - a 10.1-inch tablet with a dual-core processor and support for the S Pen. The S Pen support is actually what defines and will define the Galaxy Note series for Samsung. At the same time, Samsung will keep the Tab lineup for traditional no-stylus tablets.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 features Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with the TouchWiz skin on top. It also comes with a number of tweaks for the Wacom-based S Pen - you can sketch in a dedicated app which is brought by a double tap on the screen while holding the pen button, you can annotate screenshots and you have Adobe Photoshop Touch and Adobe Ideas pre-loaded. The two applications are tailor-made for the S Pen with pressure sensitivity.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 isn’t very exciting in terms of hardware, though - it features a 10.1” display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, a 1.4GHz dual-core Samsung Exynos chip, a 3-megapixel rear camera and 2-megapixel front shooter. Connectivity is covered with HSPA+ at 21Mbps, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The Note’s supports microSD cards of up to 32GB, which can be added on top of the 16, 32 or 64GB of internal memory depending on the version.

Overall, this is a device that will appeal to artists and those who value the pen input. It looks like a supersized Galaxy Note and that’s a great thing for drawing. We’ve already gotten our hands on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, so hop over there to learn about our first impressions.
