Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 unveiled, delivers upgrades to an already popular tablet
Posted in: Today's Chili
Samsung once again throws the floodgates to a gazillion devices open by unveiling the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 at the ongoing IFA 2013 event at Berlin, Germany, and this time around, the 2014 edition of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 will bring even more goodies to the table. For starters, the 10” display will be candy to your eyes as it features a WQXGA Super clear LCD (2560×1600) resolution, which will be accompanied by an octa-core 1.9GHz processor (this is only for the 3G or WiFi-only version), with 3GB RAM to boot. All of those improvements have been introduced without adding in extra bulk to the form factor.
Boasting four times the pixel density of the original Galaxy Note 10.1, this latest 2014 model would deliver a premium content viewing experience. Not only that, it comes with a magazine style user interface so that you are able to organize your favorite resources in an easy to use dashboard, before accessing that particular content for a stylish reading experience. It does not matter whether you are viewing videos or reading magazines and e-books, the new Galaxy Note 10.1 will be able to deliver an immersive media consumption experience.
Other than that, new design characteristics such as a warm and textured back cover with stitching have been thrown into the mix in order to inspire a sense of elegance and sophistication. Multi-taskers will also fall in love with the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, where it sports Multi Window so that one is able to run separate instances of the same application, all the while using the enhanced S Pen in order to drag and drop content from one window to another.
The Pen Window would allow you to simply draw a window of any size on the screen, while being able to instantly access unique in-application features including YouTube or calculator. Theoretically speaking, once you have the 2014 edition of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, your productivity ought to shoot through the roof.
There will be three connectivity options available – WiFi Only, WiFi and 3G, WiFi and LTE, where it will come in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB capacities with a microSD memory card slot. It will arrive in two color options of Jet Black and Classic White, and while pricing details have yet to be determined, we should see it hit retail stores from Q3 onwards.

Researchers from Samsung’s Emerging Technology Lab are working together with the University of Texas, Dallas, to develop mobile devices that can be controlled using your mind. Innovation is a huge aspect of the tech world and Samsung is looking to jump miles ahead of its competition. This technological advancement will be beneficial to people who suffer from various mobile impairments. and would be a huge game changer for the tech industry.
Right now, the researchers are working on this new feature using the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. Using the power of their thoughts, the people who are testing out the mind-controlled Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 can launch applications, shuffle through music, turn the tablet on and off, and much more. The testers wear a cap equipped with EEG-monitoring electrodes to convey their actions.
The cap uses EEG-detected brain signals to launch an action. The researchers monitor “well known brain activity patterns that occur when people are shown repetitive visual patterns.” By just focusing on an icon blinking at a certain frequency, the testers can perform various actions like launching apps and pausing/playing music. Users were able to perform an action with their mind at a speed of one action per 5 seconds, with an accuracy rate of 80%-95%.
The researchers still require a lot more research in order to make this innovative feature a reality, but they’re working diligently to do so. Samsung’s lead researcher, Insoo Kim, says, ”
Finding new ways to interact with mobile devices has driven the project. Several years ago, a small keypad was the only input modality to control the phone, but nowadays the user can use voice, touch, gesture, and eye movement to control and interact with mobile devices. Adding more input modalities will provide use with more convenient and richer ways of interactive with mobile devices.”
Robert Jacob, a Human-Computer Interaction Researcher at Tuft’s University says that this research project will help find more ways to allow users to communicate with their mobile devices. This research will hopefully allow users more control over their mobile devices, and will still allow you to “stick the phone in the pocket.” However, unfortunately for us, when this new feature does become available for mobile devices, Roozbeh Jafari, an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Texas, Dallas, says that people may have to wear an EEG-cap to use it. Let’s hope that that cap is at least fashionable.

With the release of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 with Verizon’s 4G LTE data coverage, both companies put forth their best. With Verizon it’s the 4G LTE you know and love, and with Samsung it’s their largest “Note” device to date, effectively replacing the standard tablet with one that’s got its own S-Pen for futuristic note-taking and artwork galore. This isn’t the first time the Galaxy Note 10.1 has been available in the United States, but it certainly is the first time it’s been pushed with such vigor.
Hardware
As it was back when we showed our Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 wifi-only Review, this tablet is easily Samsung’s best. At this display size, anyway. If you’re looking for an experience that’s top-notch at essentially any other display size, Samsung has you covered there too – from the Galaxy Tab 7.7 to the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 to the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and back again, Verizon also has you covered with 4G LTE. With the Galaxy Note 10.1 4G LTE, you’ve got the 10.1-inch display coupled with the quad-core Exynos processor and the S-Pen – not to mention the front-facing speakers.
With the release of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, the company began pushing their speakers to the front of their tablets. This was a good move and generally regarded as such by everyone that likes to listen to the audio from their devices come out towards their face, rather than from the back side of the device straight into their leg. As it was when we reviewed the wifi version of this device: the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is the best entertainment station you can buy with a 10.1-inch screen.
There’s a lovely set of accessories you can buy from Samsung that’ll make this experience even better than it is out of the box: the clip-on case/cover is easily the most “must-have” of the bunch. With it you’ll be standing your Note 10.1 upright with ease, making it into an easel whenever you like. After that you’re set – the charger and the S-Pen come with the box, and the S-Pen slides in the back of the device when you’re not using it.
Have a peek at how this device compares in size to the Galaxy Note II as well – you may just want to make a decision between the two. They’re both carried by Verizon, and both have lovely Verizon branding splattered about as well.
Software
The change in software since the first time we had a look at the Galaxy Note 10.1 is ever-so-slight in it’s flip from Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and the Premium Suite that comes with it. Because Samsung places its own TouchWiz UX user interface for tablets over the top, you’ll not have noticed the change unless you knew what you were looking for. That said, one of the biggest bumps is in the addition of Google Now.
Hands-on with the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1
If you place your finger on the Home button and pull up, a Google logo will appear and you’ll be taken to Google Now. This is the interface that all Jelly Bean devices are allowed access to now on Android devices, complete with information for you based on your interests, GPS location, and the environment around you – for weather, that is. Have a peek at our original Google Now hands-on from back when it was launched for a general idea of what it’s all about!
You’ll also be able to work with multi-tasking features such as the pop-up collection of apps at the bottom of your display that appear when you tap the center of your menu bar. Each of these apps is able to open up as a pop-up window or as a section of your display. At the moment this software is generally fun to see work, but doesn’t work at a level where we’d call it mind-blowingly perfect. You’ll be using this multi-window feature for entertainment more than anything.
Benchmarks
Have a peek at a set of benchmarks run in the gallery here and let us know what you think. On the whole, they’re pretty much the same as they were when we had a look at the wifi version of this machine – this makes sense as, other than some of the software and the change over to the new set of radios, you’ve got essentially the same device, processor and everything. It’s basically the same machine when it comes down to it.
Also included there is a set of speed-tests so you can see how fast we’re rolling out here in Saint Paul, Minnesota. You’ll have to judge speeds for yourself wherever you’re situated in the USA for your own perfect score.
Camera
You’ve also got the same camera as we had a peek at before, so the quality there hasn’t changed a bit. This is an OK camera – not fantastic, but certainly better than the first generation of Android tablets and their terrible, terrible attempt at photo action. With this 5 megapixel camera on the back of the device you’ll be hot to trot – there’s a flash back there too if you need.
Wrap-up
With the Galaxy Note 10.1 you’ve got another excellent entry into the Samsung hero line of Note devices. This remains the largest Note-branded smart device on the market, and is now part of the 4G LTE family as well. Samsung continues to be the biggest opponent for the iPad on the market and – if they were both running the same software and we had to decide between the two – we’d have a relatively tough decision on our hands.
But because they aren’t, and because we’re truly lovers of a unique experience, it’s easy to recommend this tablet as one of the most versatile smart devices on the market today. With the S-Pen, fun and entertaining connectivity with the rest of the Samsung Galaxy devices for media and communication, and one of the newest versions of Google’s mobile OS onboard, the Galaxy Note 10.1 is certainly the hottest Android tablet carried by Verizon today. Have a peek and start penning away!

We knew it would be arriving eventually on Big Red’s network, and now it’s officially only a couple days away. Verizon has announced that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet will be available to customers starting March 7 for $599. The tablet will be able to run off of the carrier’s blazing-fast 4G LTE network and will also come equipped with an S Pen.
We first spotted the Verizon tablet at CES back in January and even got our hands on the thing. While it’s mostly no different than other carrier versions that have been out and about, Verizon’s 4G LTE will certainly be a huge selling point for this slate, and the gorgeous 10-inch display will allow to stream content at glorious speeds.
If you haven’t been keeping up with the new tablet, the Galaxy Note 10.1 comes with a quad-core Exynos processor clocked at 1.4GHz with 2GB RAM, and a 7,000mAh battery to power the tablet. The slate runs Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean with Samsung’s Multi-view multi window mode, which allows for complete resizing and dragging of windows, similar to a desktop.
Of course, we reviewed the tablet back in August, so if you’re thinking about taking the plunge and getting the Galaxy Note 10.1 on Verizon’s network, have a look at our full review to help you decided if it’s your kind of tablet. The only difference is that you’ll be granted Big Red’s LTE, as well as the big Verizon logo on the back.

Back in February 2012, US Cellular kicked off its LTE network with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet when its 4G network went live. Now, the carrier has released another Galaxy tablet, this time offering the Note 10.1 for sale on its website. The device is sold along with a data plan that ranges from 2GB to 10GB per month, with the lowest price point coming in at $25.
The tablet runs Android Jelly Bean 4.1, and boasts a 1.4GHz quad-core proccesor and 16GB of internal storage. Around back, users will find a 5-megapixel camera, while there’s a smaller 1.9-megapixel sensor on the front for video chats. The tablet is sold with an S-pen, and is loaded with Google Mobile Services and the newly released Photoshop Touch.
Three different data plans are available, one of which the customer must subscribe to to get the tablet. The cheapest plan is priced at $25 per month for 2GB of data. The next plan up is a slightly better deal at 5GB for $50 per month, while the last plan is the best deal at 10GB for $90 per month, saving a total of $10. The first plan also offers 100 reward points monthly, while the second offers 250 and the third offers 500.
The tablet is priced at $499.99 USD, a hefty price tag for something that you can nab cheaper elsewhere. Without the $300 discount that is applied, the price jumps to $799.99. New customers will have to sign up for a 2-year contract when purchasing the tablet. If you’re keen on grabbing an LTE Galaxy Note 10.1, this is your chance, but it doesn’t come without a substantial price tag.
