S-Pen
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
Amazing Wacom S Pen is stylus heaven, Mammoth specs = powerhouse, Innovative split-screen multi-tasking, IR blaster and optional 3G, Excellent value
Unattractive design, Limited connectivity, No mobile keyboard dock (yet), Average screen, Average battery life

Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is not like other tablets - it uses Samsung's 'S-Pen' stylus for input, and has a highly customised version of Android 4, aimed at making it perfect for creative types. By contrast the Nexus 10 is the latest high-end Android d...
Superresponsive, Highly precise stylus, Great apps for creative activities, Extensive media player, Finally, true multitasking!, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update (coming soon)

Powerful processor, fast interface, Unique features, S Pen stylus works well, Bright screen
Video lacks detail, Features incompatible with relevant apps, Iffy build
Ultimately, the Galaxy Note 10.1 leaves us a little frustrated. Powerful, fast and good to use, it's let down by a so-so screen that produces pictures no better than last-gen tablets.There are some great multitasking features to set it apart, but they're...
Good screen, well integrated graphics and handwriting features, fast quadcore processor, splitscreen multitasking,
Not cheap, no HDMI connection
The Galaxy Note 10.1 is a top-end tablet with a price to match (same as the iPad, basically). It can't beat Apple's sales behemoth on its screen, but in terms of versatility, with its writing interface and expandable memory, plus a good quality camera ...
