Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Nearly Confirmed: Questions & Observations

By -
After a wild CES 2013 event, the rumors, hearsay and speculation is back on. If Samsung didn’t impress you enough with the products and services they launched, then maybe the latest back-fence talk will make you turn your eyes towards the Korean behemoth. Yes, we’re talking about yet another little wonder of technology that might soon land on the market, “begging” you to buy it.
Galaxy Note 8.0 seems to be the name of this possibly upcoming slate from the company residing in Samsung Town. If this is a rumor, why are we treating it seriously, someone could say. Well, for a number of reasons, but problably the biggest of them is the following.

Samsung’s fierce battle with Apple

I am not a fan of Apple, nor am I a fan of Samsung and frankly, I think it’s pretty dangerous these days to be loyal to a certain company, when there are soooo many products being launched, day and night. But I really like the battle between them, I love to see how they try to engage in technology blitzkreigs and how they’re always upgrading their weapons. That’s why, this isn’t only a rumor, but this is once more, an obvious evidence that Samsung has threw down the gauntlet in the face of Apple.


And this hearsay comes from SamMobile, a website which is pretty honest with its readers and where most of rumors have at least a bit of truth in them. So, this is another important reason to think that this speculation will convert into reality pretty soon. And we will be there to confirm it – at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
iPhone’s supremacy is coming to an end, we can all feel that, especially after Samsung has announced incredible sales numbers for the Samsung Galaxy S3 – 40 million at the beginning of January, 2013. But what’s even more important is that Samsung managed to sell more than 100 million units from its Galaxy series in less than 3 years. It’s not as much as the iPhone, of course, but Samsung isn’t winning the fight against Apple alone, other Android brother are helping, such as newcomer Huawei, for example.

Wait, but what all this has to do with Galaxy Note, right? Well, it’s all part of a bigger plan, folks. Samsung is on a quest, or so it would seem to me, to counter-attack the Cupertino company on as many boundaries as possible. The Galaxy S series is there to fight the mighty iPhone, the 10 incher Galaxy Note is to try and pose a threat to the iPad (no serious harm done) and the Galaxy Note 8.0 is obviously aimed at the neck of iPad Mini.

But why that name?

Why would Samsung want to call it Galaxy Note 8.0 and note Galaxy Tab 8, since that would be its closest relative in the huge Galaxy family, right? Well, they know what they’re doing – Note is a much more successful brand than Tab ever was. So, when you want to fight against the iPad Mini, the love of kids from all over the world, you need to name it accordingly. And so they did. If they’d name it Galaxy Tab 8, everybody had then recalled the Galaxy Tab 7 or 10 which, honestly, is almost a failed product, only that nobody talks about it. But hey, Samsung can afford to to experiments, right? They’ve got so many lab mice. But people love the Galaxy Note, the first and the second so Samsung is going to take benefit from that, mark my words.

And the specs are…

Leaving poetry aside, many of you (me included) are interested in the specifications that Galaxy Note 8.0 could have. It is the third member in the Note family and is rumored for a release at the 2013 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. There will be 2 versions: a Wi-Fi and a 3G one (let’s hope it will also come with 4G). It has the Kona codename and the following, probably internal, identifications – GT-N5100 and GT-N5110. Without further ado, here’s everything we know about it so far, in terms of specs:
  • Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
  • 4600 mAh battery
  • 211.3×136.3×7.95 mm , 330 g
  • 8.0”, 1280×800 TFT (Super Clear LCD)
  • GSM networks: EDGE (850/900/1800/1900) HSPA+21.1Mbps, HSUPA 5.76Mbps (850/900/1900/2100)
  • Camera 5 Megapixel (BACK)
  • Camera 1.3 megapixel (FRONT)
  • RAM + Storage: 2GB (RAM) + 16/32GB (optional) + microSD (up to 32GB)
  • Connections: BT 4.0, USB 2.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, A-GPS
And if the price will be right, this new tablet size might make some of us choose is instead of other smaller or bigger slates. Amaze us, Sammy.

Daily App: Verticus (iOS) – Free fallin’ was Never this much Fun

Trust Stan Lee to steer clear of convention. The superhero creating legend of the comic world (he gave us Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, and many others, for those not too steeped in comic history) has stepped into casual gaming with Verticus – a $0.99 offering for iOS. And at a time when the world is going crazy into endless running games, he has decided to use the same concept. With a spin. Verticus, you see, is a game which is all about falling. The rationale is simple – an alien race called the Obliterators have found their way to the Earth’s core where they are building a machine that will destroy the world. There is only one way to save the day – don the suit of our fearless hero and fall towards the Earth, dodging mines and picking up coins, boosters and other articles the way, and then indeed tunnel to the very core of our planet and destroy the diabloical machine. Think of Verticus as Temple Run in reverse. You control the direction in which your charac
