Hi, I’ll like to know if the USBC in Tab10 suports HDMI conection? Thanks!
Are your specs correct for the Note X2? On other sites, I see that it comes with only 64GB of storage and a quad-core processor.
Looks like it should be octa core and 64GB. So I got one out of two right. I’ve upgraded the table!
could you be specific about which sites? goodreader doesn’t give those stats. And I’m having a hard time filtering out the Note 2 and Note Air 2, and a rather confusing bunch of similar product names. IDK if liliputing blocks out website names, but I’m sure there’s ways around that.
