Samsung Galaxy Note 8 arrives at one UK store: £339 for the WiFi-only, 16GB model

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 arrives at one UK store: £339 for the WiFi-only, 16GB model

Have you been feeling a bit like a UK-based Goldilocks? The Galaxy Note II’s too small, the Note 10.1 a trifle too big, but the Note 8 looks just right? Well, today’s your lucky day, as the mid-sized tablet has officially launched in the Queen’s dominion. The WiFi-only, 16GB model will set you back £339 (approximately $516), and at the moment, you’ll only find it at the Samsung Experience Store in Westfield Stratford City. It’ll be available elsewhere shortly, and it’s probably worth waiting — from April 15th for a limited time, buyers will get a few extras: a £20 voucher for the Samsung Learning Hub, a two-month subscription to The Times, free access to the Samsung Music Hub for a month, and a couple of games and AVG Anti-Virus Pro gratis. If tethering ain’t your bag but you need data on the go, a gent from the Westfield store told us the 3G version is on its way, but couldn’t give us a firm arrival date. It’s our duty to warn you Westfield is a crowded nightmare at the best of times, and the arrival of a new Samsung tablet ain’t gonna help that.

Samsung exec confirms 8-inch Galaxy Note coming to MWC

Samsung exec confirms 8inch Galaxy Note coming to MWC

The internet has been quietly discussing the possibility of an 8-inch Galaxy Note for a while now, but nothing appeared at CES. However, it might’ve just been waiting for the right event to make its entrance, and iNews24 is reporting that JK Shin himself has confirmed the Galaxy Note 8 will debut at MWC. Seeming as the Korean news outfit also got word on the S III mini from Samsung’s mobile chief before anything was official, we’ve got no reason to doubt this scoop. If this addition to the Note range is the mysterious GT-N5100 we saw benchmarked recently, it could be packing a 1.6GHz quad-core Exynos processor, and fit 1,280 x 800 pixels in that 8-inch display (the same res as the Galaxy Note 10.1). As JK Shin shared nothing but the screen size for now, we’ll just have to wait until MWC to get all the finer details.
