The editors didn't like
Worse battery life than the competition
Smooth plastic back is harder to hold on to than the Nexus 7 or iPad mini
No NFC or cellular
At least in the US as of this writing
Tablet camera is tablet camera
High price point – although I myself can justify spending the extra cash for the features
Many people disagree given the plastic design of the device and the smallish size of the device
The speakers should have been placed somewhere other than the botto
SoC throttles under load
Extended warranty does not apply to liquid damage
Weak GPS performance
Speaker should be better
Fingerprint is not optimally placed
Expensive. Battery life isn't great. Poor cameras
Can be tough to use one-handed
Plastics are underwhelming
WatchON app incomplete
Expensive
Confusing bloatware
Mediocre battery life
Relatively pricey
Awkward size
S Pen a tad unresponsive
MicroSD slot is hidden under the battery
The usual Samsung plastic construction
Average display resolution
Stylus time-consuming to master
No dedicated HDMI or USB ports
Short battery life
Lackluster speakers
Slow camera
Pricier than iPad mini
Lack of connectivity options
The screen is small for the size of the tablet
Very expensive compared to alternatives
Poor camera quality
Screen isn't great
Poor design
Samsung's Touchwiz user interface can be overpowering
Made mostly of cheap feeling plastic
The display is low-res and noticeably pixelated
Speakers are easily covered up
Mediocre camera and video quality
There is still a content gap
Albeit closing
For Android tablets
Samsung software is overbearing
Weak
Poor speakers
Display resolution is quickly becoming obsolete
The pen input is the star of the show. The Wacom digitiser stylus lives in a housing on the edge of the chassis. It's pressure sensitive
So that while ordinary handwriting recognition is possible (and works well)
Abstract: I think the pattern is clear by now that we will always attempt to root every Android device that we have for review, but only if we can revert it back to stock. Part of the reason for this is that we want to completely dive into using these devices as ou...

This is a much more exciting prospect than the Note 10.1 in terms of form factor, performance and price. Forget the gimmick of making calls – no-one's actually going to do that more than once or twice – and focus on what this really is: an easy-to-use, ev...

Phone capabilities is a plus, Great overall performance, IR blaster doubles as a remote control
about it:
While some portion of the market would bend towards bigger tablets, while the others go towards the smaller ones, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 tries to meet both needs – and safe to say it succeeds. It's no titan in the camera battlefield, and it might loo...
