Whats more, it is equipped with 1GB RAM and 32GB MicroSD card, along with storage space for three kinds of specifications, mainly 16GB/32GB/64GB.

I believe that most of you have a deep impression towards Samsung Galaxy Note, which has a 5.3-inch screen and S Pen appealing to many fans. And now Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, with a large screen up to 10.1-inch, follows the design of S Pen of Galaxy Note, for which people can know its brand by judging the design.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has an attractive appearance. The positive of it is a 10.1-inch screen, with exquisite designed loudspeakers in both of its left and right sides, all reflecting its beauty and practicality.
Made of slippery plastics, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has a more beautiful appearance and smoother lines than Galaxy Tab 10.1. But the back of it, in ordinary design, is easy to absorb fingerprints.
What is worthy of mentioning is that Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is very light. Unlike the new iPad in depth of 9.4mm, its dimension is confined to 256.7-by-175.3-by-8.9mm, with its weight up to 589g only! It is almost impossible for such a tablet in small size to contain a battery of 7000mAh, but Samsung succeeds in doing this, proving its strong ability.
However, every coin has two sides. Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has a severe defect: Samsung doesnt equip Galaxy Note 10.1 with a slot specially made for S Pen, its key feature, which causes inconvenience when taking it outside.
Having established a favorable reputation in high technology, the S Pen efficiently strengthens Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 statue in the market. Able to recognize 255 kinds of pressure, S Pen facilitates users to write, draw and draft on the screen.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 supports users to run two apps, and to make copy and paste in these two apps. Besides, it has powerful functions in editing pictures and photos.

Users can draw graphs or modulate images in the Photoshop app with S Pen, which helps to promote users use experience. Through the S Pen, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 can run many common operations, such as operations for return and menus, thus improving working efficiency.
It is well-known to all that the new iPad is installed with a HD Retina display with 2048-by-1536 pixel of resolution, along with density of its 9.7-inch screen reaching 264ppi pixel. In addition, the new iPad has a quad-core processor and supports HD screen efficiently. But what about that of Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1?
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is lightly better than the new iPad in light of size. It adopts a 10.1-inch screen, more according with the current fashion for large screen. Yet, in fields of screen material and screen effect, there exist certain disparities. Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, unlike SUPER AMOLED Plus, adopts a rather ordinary TFT material, reflecting its disparity with others.
As Samsung employs a 10.1 screen, its resolution of 1280-by-800 pixel exerts excellent performance. Without a fashionable quad-core processor available, however, its 1.4GHz dual-core processor performs rather well. Apart from the above, its screen effect is stable under different illumination conditions, and its video display works smoothly.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 elaborately makes a real flagship appearance with many interfaces in its slim body, in depth of 8.9mm. Now lets have a check about it.
Well, what heaves in sight is the large 10.1-inch screen. The set of tablet has integrated four classical keys of Android into the system interface. Its frontage is designed with a black frame, concise and decent, representing Samsungs unique style.
One its two sides, however, no buttons are available. Yet, all of the devices, including power button, QuickDo, volume switch and a 3.5mm headset are set on the top of it. Such special design may lead to disoperation if not familiar with it. Furthermore, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is equipped with a 2 Mpix front-end camera to support video communication. But where are loudspeakers? Well, the loudspeakers of stereophonic effect are set on both sides of the tablet.
As for its back, theres no advantage over others. Yet, the 3 Mpix rear camera and LED flashlight do become its brightness. Although it is not suitable for operation just in one hand due to its size confined to 256.7-by-175.3-by-8.9mm, its weight, 589g, makes it attractive.
Theres no doubt that Googles Android system is the biggest competitor of Apples iOS system. However, Samsung develops a diversified development strategy, including developing Android system, Windows Phone system and its own system, the Bada system. Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 adopts the fashionable Android 4.0 operating system, superior to the Android 3.2 version.
Samsung and Apple have a competitive competition in tablet market, and they have aroused many disputes for patents. Though the new iPad and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 do not employ the same system, both of them adopt the latest system of their own: the new iPad is installed with the latest iOS system, while Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 adopts Android 4.0 system. Android 4.0 system has succeeded in improving the poor condition of Android tablet, and has optimized its multiple-core processor, all of which strengthens the running speed of Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.
Lacking in the strong quad-core processor, however, Samsung installs the tablet with a1.4GHz dual-core processor, with storage of 1GB RAM+16/32/64GB ROM, to guarantee the fluency of the system.
Referring to the working life, the majority of tablets have a poor performance. But to our surprise, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, equipped with a 7000mAh lithium battery, does guarantee its working life.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has an amazing design because it is just in depth of 8.9mm and in weight of 583g! It matches the 7000mAh battery very well! Besides, its running time can reach up to 9 hours! But the specific running time depends on the environment when used. In addition, the tablet has a power saving mode, carrying forward the advantage of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Conclusion:
Samsung says that Apples new iPad is incompatible with its own Galaxy Note 10.1, this, of course, is not baseless. It is well designed in terms of its depth, the size of its screen and the S Pen. But its processor and 3D image effect are not as good as those of Apples new iPad, after all, Apple has an excellent technology in these fields. Integrating the 10.1-inch screen, 1.4GHz dual-core processor and the 7000mAh battery into the tablet of 8.9 mm in depth only, Samsung shows its ability.
