At least in the US as of this writing

High price point – although I myself can justify spending the extra cash for the features

So that while ordinary handwriting recognition is possible (and works well)
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Android tablet. Like the Note 10.1, the Note 8.0 comes with an S Pen, which is a Wacom digital pen for precise note-taking and drawing. It runs on a quad core 1.6GHz Exynos CPU with MALI 400 graphics, 2 gigs o...

Abstract: You could call it Samsung's “Goldilocks device.” It's not too small. It's not too big. It's just right – at least that's what Samsung is hoping.The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 fits nicely into Samsung's lineup of smartphones and tablets. It's a bit bigger than ...

Abstract: On the Samsung performance ladder, the Note 8.0 is a step up from the Galaxy Tabs, thanks largely to its Exynos 4412 quad-core CPU (if you need help, that's the chip inside the Aussie version of the Galaxy S3 phone). But the screen is fairly ho-hum, a st...

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is comfortable to hold and has the best-looking small tablet screen yet. Writing with the S Pen feels natural and is preferred over typing on a tablet screen. Storage can be expanded via microSD, and the Watch On feature has pote
The $399 price is a lot for a small tablet, no matter its features. It's not as thin or as light as the iPad Mini, and some people won't appreciate the highly saturated look of the OS. Also, its face buttons sometimes get in the way and there are occasion

Despite its plastic casing, Samsung's mid-sized Galaxy Note is one of the better Android tablets we've played with, feeling balanced in the hands, and supporting the S Pen with a more notepad-like experience.It could do with a touch more performance and s...
We really liked the Galaxy Note 8.0. Its stylus framework works very well in the 8″ form factor, and this is a powerful and well-designed little tablet which represents a strong competitor to the iPad mini, Nexus 7, and other mid-sized tablets. Perhaps ...

Crisp display, Stylus adds a massive potential for functionality, Familiar interface and feeling to the device, Impressive overall performance of the tablet
Disappointing battery life, despite capacity, Limited storage space – just 16 GB, Front facing camera is poor quality
There's plenty of competition in the market at this size – most notably the Nexus 7 and the iPad Mini, both of which are great devices with their own pro's and cons. The biggest plus that the Note 8 has over the competition is the Wacom digitiser, S-Pen a...

Abstract: Our test device was the A$459 Wi-Fi only version (3G and LTE versions available later) which is nicely designed, slim, and fairly light-weight at 340 grams. It is built well and for some people, just the right size with its eight-inch (measured diagonally...
