Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Version) review: A premium Android tablet for a premium price

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Version) review- With the buzz surrounding the Galaxy Note 3 and the Galaxy Gear smartwatch, it's easy to forget that Samsung is also releasing a fresh tablet.
This time around, Samsung is taking a closer clue from its more successful Galaxy Note smartphone line. here I got from Android site news which review Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Version).

The new Galaxy Note 10.1 is super fast, relatively lightweight and has features galore. S Pen support is preferable to ever; joined with the software improvements, the Galaxy Note 10.1 is a multitasker's dream. In addition, it works with Samsung's Galaxy Gear smartwatch. It's one of a small number of Android tablets that exhibits clear advantages over Apple's almighty iPad.

And yet, I can't quite recommend that anybody should purchase the Galaxy Note 10.1. Starting at $549.99 for the 16GB version, the Note is priced even higher than the iPad, which already establishes a relative threshold for highend tablets. Unless you really believe the S Pen is worth the premium, you're probably better off buying a lowerpriced tablet along with a separate stylus and saving yourself well over $100

 

 

Layout: The Galaxy Note 3's larger sibling

 

Physically, the Galaxy Note 10.1 takes the look of the Galaxy Note 3 and enlarges it across a tablet form factor. You're far less inclined to encounter forearm fatigue after prolonged use, which is pleasant.

The pill comes in either black or white, with a fauxchrome rim around the perimeter. But given the Galaxy Note 10.1's extravagant pricing, Samsung is still ostensibly unable to craft a device that feels high end. Samsung claims the faux leather back panel of the tablet will inspire "analogue nostalgia." While I liked the appearance of the material in pictures, in person it is certainly just textured matte plastic. And the "thorough stitch" around the edges of the panel isn't much more than an embossment. It almost makes me homesick for the chintzy plastic backing on most of Samsung's other products.

Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 Update Leaks Before Release

Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 Update Leaks Before Release - according to the source for Android News While Samsung hasn't been talking about specifics, it's clear that the Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 Jelly-bean update is close. For one, the company declared an update for October, one which would deliver Galaxy Gear help to Galaxy S4 owners. The company didn't explicitly say Android 4.3, but given its Bluetooth LE support, it's likely.

Furthermore, we've noticed French carrier SFR peg Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 software for October and more recently, Samsung Canada affirmed that it will be rolling out Android 4.3 in November. Global forms of the unit typically receive their applications ahead of the North American models.

It appears the software is a little bit of an incremental upgrade because it doesn't deliver any massive new features but it does apparently enhance what was already on board the Galaxy S4, making it faster and making content appear sharper.

With no special launch date in sight, some Galaxy S4 owners are probably getting antsy. Luckily for impatient types that own the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-9505 variant, a leak has sprouted in front of the Android 4.3 Jelly-bean release date.

Due to SamMobile, owners of the GT-9505 can turn on a test version of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean ahead of its own eventual release. Evidently, the software is steady and it's faster than the Android 4.2 update that presently resides in the Galaxy S4. Samsung Knox and Samsung Wallet are both on board though Samsung Wallet does not work at the moment.

GT - 9505 owners should be cautious before installing this software because it might not be the completed upgrade. Those people who are not skilled at installing firmware similar to this should avoid installing it and instead, should await the Over-the-Air upgrade to get there. At this point, provided the data, it seems to be an OTA ought to be coming shortly. Those who actually do choose to install it'll need to back up their files before this.

The Galaxy S4 is expected to get Android 4.3 Jelly Bean before the Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy Note 2.

Carriers in the Usa are usually behind their counterparts this means we could see some devices waiting until 2014 for Android 4.3 Jelly Bean updates.
