Performance
Software & Apps
Batter
Handwriting to text recognition still needs work
Display doesn't wow us
Camera photos are just ok
No HDMI out
Lack of Jelly Bean leads to intermittent jerkiness despite the hardware
Bright screen with good colors and viewing angles is marred by a low resolution for this price range
S Note is promising but unstable
Especially in handwriting recognition mode
Mi
Janky and unresponsive UI
Faux-leather and faux-chrome are forgettable
Hard to care about the features when they either don't work well or don't add value
Benchmark optimizations are poor form...
Underwhelming design
User interface is stuttery
Too much Samsung bloatware
S Note app confusing
Lower-resolution display than competitors
Plastic design
Some lag when multitasking
Only a limited number of apps make full use of the S Pen and some of the ones that do can be buggy and confusing. Some S Pen features aren't enabled by default and others don't work properly
Relatively Low-Res Screen In This Price Segment
Multi Screen Only Works With Certain Apps
Standard resolution display
Stylus can be tricky to master
No dedicated HDMI or USB ports
Relatively low screen resolution
Bottom Line
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is the first 10-inch Android tablet to offer compelling
Consumer-friendly features the iPad can't match
Weak app selection at launch
WiFi dependent
Limited streaming video options with Honeycomb
Sluggish performance
Overbearing Samsung software
No killer S Pen apps
The S Pen and a slick screen lack the accuracy to make this a tool for professional artists. The Note 10.1 is quick
But not as fast as rival tablets from Asus and Apple. The 1280 x 800 pixel display falls short in today's postRetina world. Samsung's soft
Some performance issues
Feels cheap
Lackluster design
Instances of choppy performance
Mediocre photo & video capture quality
Android isn't suited for large tablets
Low-resolution screen (compared to iPad)
Not enough Android tablet apps
Multiscreen mode is too limited
Speakers are loud but not clear
Proprietary charge port
Volume button is “upside down” when the tablet is in portrait
Screen gets “oily” and shows “stylus trails”
Build quality is lacking
Creaks and squeaks aren't uncommon
S Note app has potential
But doesn't live up to our stylus-friendly expectations
Judging the Galaxy Note 10.1 is a little bit difficult. Priced similarly to other top-tier Android tablets, it performs admirably as a regular slate, offering a solid Android experience, and runs Google's OS and demanding apps without a hiccup. Its screen...
When it comes to functionality, the Note 10.1 is essentially a larger version of the Galaxy Note smartphone, which itself is a hybrid device as it has a large 5.3in display.The 5.3in Note is able to strike a balance between the tablet and smartphone fo...

Average display, Mediocre camera, Plastic chassis, Bloatware galore
Let us get the obvious out of the way first - no, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is not an iPad killer. Despite being priced-up identically, Apple's 10-inch tablet easily comes out top. But that's not necessarily a decisive blow for the Samsung Galaxy Note...
It’s hard to fault the innards of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. It’s a turbo charged beast that just won’t fall over, no matter what you throw at it. You’ll be pleased to know this doesn’t seem to have affected the battery life however: it runs for several days on a charge, with lots of heavy use surfing the web, doodling and watching videos.Samsung’s excellent AllShare software once again makes
Tubby plastic slates are standard at the budget end of the spectrum, but if you’re forking over £400 (and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 starts at £400) you expect nothing less than sheer beauty. The new iPad delivers that, with its waif like frame and ludicrously sharp Retina Display. On the Android side of things, Asus’ Transformer Prime shows how it’s done with a slick metal frame that’s every b
The first Samsung Galaxy Note was a barnstorming success, carving out an entirely new category in smartphones for itself. Sadly, stylus and name aside, very little of its DNA can be found in the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.The hardware just doesn’t stand ...
Fast processor, Highly useful split, screen mode, Pressure, sensitive stylus and smart apps, Can be used as IR remote
Low, res screen at this price level, Few apps fully support the stylus
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 can actually make your life easier. If you spend a lot of time in meetings, if you think in images, or you want to use your tablet as a home remote control, the Galaxy Note 10.1 has features that are perfect for you. That sai...
Stylish, superb media playback, stylus is fun and potentially useful, great potential, incredible specs with super-fast processor and stacks of RAM, split screen is great as is video-in-a-window
Screen resolution, battery life - at a push, not running Jelly Bean yet
It's a much over-used expression, but the Note is an iPad killer. We aren't pretending that Samsung has quite the same build quality as the Apple, and we know people are beholden to the iTunes ecosystem, but the Note has so much that's unique and featu...
Granted, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 lacks the one competitive spec that other top-tier tablets—specifically the Acer Iconia Tab A700, Apple iPad, and Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700—have at the same or lesser price. Samsung's rendering enhancemen...

Abstract: When Samsung launched the original Galaxy Note last year, the unique phone/tablet hybrid won us over with its great multimedia abilities. The huge 5.3-inch screen made it completely impractical as a phone, however, so Samsung has opted to ditch phone func...
Lots of useful features, Fast performance from a powerful quadcore processor, The S Pen stylus is a unique addition on a tablet
No Android Jelly Bean, Few apps make full use of the S Pen and some are buggy, Some S Pen features aren't enabled by default
The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is Samsung's best 10-inch tablet yet. It's propelled by a powerful chip and the S Pen stylus marks it out from the competition (so long as you have a use for it). While the underwhelming screen resolution and lack of Androi...
Samsung has created an excellent tablet with the Galaxy Note 10.1, even if it's not exactly a looker in our opinion. It is by far the fastest Android tablet that we've tested until now, based on both the benchmarks and our own hands-on experience. With ...
