Wi-Fi version of Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 receives Android 4.2.2 update

The Wi-Fi version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet has started to receive the Android 4.2.2 update via an OTA update. Those who have yet to receive the notification that the update has arrived can hook up their slate to that big ol' PC on the desk and pull out the update from Samsung Kies. Besides the updated OS build, the tablet will be more stable and there are some small UI changes to TouchWiz as far as Contacts, S Planner and Email are concerned. The LTE version of the slab has already received the update.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 offers an 8 inch screen with resolution of 1280 x 800. That works out to a pixel density of 189ppi. Under the hood is a quad-core 1.6GHz Samsung Exynos 4412 processor with the Mali-400 MP4 working on the graphics. 2GB of RAM can be found on board along with 16GB of native storage. The rear facing camera weighs in at 5MP and records video in 1080 x 1920 at 30fps. There is also a front-facing 1.3MP snapper. A 4600mAh cell powers up the tablet.

Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Tab line of tablets, the Galaxy Note 8 offers many of the features found in Samsung's phablet line such as S Pen capabilities, SAFE, Air View and Multi Window. And now, the Wi-Fi version will be running Android 4.2.2.
