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)

Stylus for drawing and writing, good screen, powerful processor, large battery, expandable memory
Not cheap, rivals can do the same for less
As a tablet the Galaxy Note 8.0 is considerably more expensive than Google's Nexus 7 and even the never knowingly underpriced Apple's iPad mini. Still, it has a fine, big screen, powerful processor and the S Pen with its well designed attendant software...
Good screen image, High screen brightness, S Pen just as relevant as ever with the overall device, Responsiveness, especially in the OS, Great apps for the S Pen
Battery life, Mediocre camera offers fewer possibilities with the stylus than the Galaxy Note 10.1, Low gaming capabilities, lags, Edges could have been made thinner to make it easier to handle, Universal Remote mode not really worth it
The Galaxy Note 8.0 is an excellent Android tablet that just nearly merits five stars. On the one hand, it's packed with enough fun and usefulness to win over people who prefer a slightly smaller device than the Galaxy Note 10.1. On the other, the 10.1's ...

Stylish, a decent size, S Pen is still a great tool, brilliant for video
Quite expensive, screen resolution a disapointment,
The Note range remains a solid favourite of ours. The Note 10.1 and Note II are devices we adore. The Note 8 is a solid performer too, but we can't help think it's stuck in the middle of two giants. But it's a brilliant size for a tablet, it's less...
S Pen; Perfect size for holding one handed; Bright, colourful display; Impressive multitasking.
This is a great device for play and productivity, with the handy S Pen stylus and great multi-tasking features. It's a great size for holding in one hand and boasts the usual clutch of impressive Samsung features...
Abstract: Two of the biggest tablets on the market are the Google Nexus 7 and the Apple iPad mini, but Samsung has introduced the Galaxy Note 8.0 . We compare these three contrasting tablets in our Apple iPad Mini vs Google Nexus 7 tablet comparison review. There'...
Abstract: During MWC 2013 last month in Barcelona, Samsung announced the Galaxy Note 8.0 , the latest addition to their Galaxy Note range. The Galaxy Note 8.0 is yet another Note tablet and fills in between the Galaxy Note II with a 5.5 inch screen and the Galaxy N...

Intuitive and fluid OS, Good keyboard, Great for watching media, Lightning fast browser
No flash player, Browser zoom and reflow needs work, IR Blaster range poor
Samsung has created a good device here. But is good enough? Sadly, we don't think so. The bar is a lot higher these days.This is a device that does what it does well, but doesn't wow us in too many ways. It's obvious that Samsung and Google are fighting ...
Stylus works well, Thin and light, Pretty powerful
Imperfect build and feel, Expensive, No camera flash
The Samsung Galaxy Note sits between the Note 10.1 and the trusty Note 2. It has a digitiser stylus, an 8-inch screen and a light 340g body. It's too big for pockets, but is otherwise a practical on-the-go Android tablet. However, starting at £340 it feel...

Abstract: I am sick of the endless permutations of Samsung’s tablet and phablet product lines.Alongside every permutation of Galaxy Tab (7.0, 8.9, 10.1), we now have the Galaxy Note range heading in the same direction. So I wasn’t really expecting much from Samsung...
