The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is a tablet with a 10.1 inch display, a quad-core processor, Android 4.0 operating system, a capacitive touchscreen and an active digitizer and digital pen for writing or drawing.
It’s basically the larger, tablet-style sibling to the 5 inch Galaxy Note smartphone.
First introduced in February, it looked like the Galaxy Note 10. 1 was almost ready to ship when it went up for pre-order last month. Then Amazon removed the listing.
Now the Galaxy Note 10.1 is up for pre-order again, this time from J&R and a few other retailers. They’re charging about $550 for a 32GB version.
There’s also a cheaper 16GB model available for $499.99.
Update: J&R has removed the product listings, which may have been posted a little prematurely.Â
The Galaxy Note 10.1 has a 1280 x 800 pixel display, a 1.4 GHz Samsung Exynos quad-core processor, 802.11n WiFi, and Bluetooth 4.0.
It has 32GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, a 2MP front-facing camera and a 5MP rear camera.
The tablet measures 10.1″ x 6.9″ x 0.35″ and weighs about 1.3 pounds.
While the quad-core CPU alone is enough to make the Galaxy Note 10.1 stand out in a crowded room, what really makes the tablet special is the S-Pen functionality which lets you use the included digital pen with your tablet, although you can also use your fingers.
thanks Paul!
First up on Amazon, then removed. Then up on J&R, then removed. And now up on B&H (with a ‘Tab 2’ URL, but the product described is the Note 10.1) https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/851200-REG/Samsung_GT_N8013EAYXAR_16GB_Galaxy_Tab_2.html
And just like that it has disappeared again!! Anyone know what is going up with this?
I still don’t get why Samsung is using a 1280×800 panel wouldn’t 1920×1200 be more usefull on a tab just like the Acer A700 and Asus TF700?
I wonder how long before it gets Jelly Bean. Also, no mention of an infrared port which I was really looking forward to. I guess we’ll have to get a lower end tablet to get it? That doesn’t make much sense.
gone from JR.com – the rest don’t seem as reliable
It’s still at J&R… my link was just broken. It’s fixed now.
Here is the 16 GB version:
