  • The Galaxy Note 8.0 is one of Samsung's better tablets but it's hampered by its extravagant price tag. Unless you really want the S Pen stylus there are better and cheaper 8in-screen tablet alternatives on the market.>> Read on…Pages12Tags:Smartphones,Gad...

  • Abstract:  What's the best size for a tablet? The 7-8-inch standard may be too big for a pocket, but it's lightweight and compact enough to fit in a bag or even the glove compartment of a car, and of course it can do pretty much everything the big boys can do, just ...

  • In essence, the Note 8 is a Note 2 that's been handed a jar of steroids before being sent out onto the mean streets of Tabletville to beat the tar out of the iPad Mini, the Amazon Kindle Fire HD and the Nexus 7. Technically, that's a job it does very wel...

  • Stylish and ergonomic, S, Pen is very useful, Speedy performance, Multi, window support
  • Too expensive, Screen resolution could be higher
  • I began this review by questioning the rationale behind the Note 8.0 and its pricing, but the more I've used this device, the more I've come to understand its value. At £339 for the base 16GB/Wi-Fi model it still feels overpriced in comparison to the iPa...
