Samsung took the wraps off a sequel to its popular Galaxy Note smartphone. The Galaxy Note 10.1, which went on sale in Germany and the United Arab Emirates, will soon be launched in other markets.
Armed with a 1.4GHz
quad-core processor and 2GB RAM
for enhanced performance, Galaxy Note 10.1 is
designed to
simplify idea capture, information access, and multi-tasking,
making each easier and faster.
The Galaxy Note 10.1 - powered by Google's
Android 4.0
(Ice Cream Sandwich) features a touchscreen which is 10.1-
inches
measured diagonally, considerably wider than the 5.3-
inch screen of the
previous Note.
Like Galaxy Note, it comes
with a stylus called the 'S pen' to
write notes or draw on the screen. The new
version allows
users to split the screen in half to view two programs at once.
The device also includes a
5-megapixel main camera and a
1.9-megapixel front-facing camera.
Featuring its advanced 6.5mm
'S' Pen, Galaxy Note 10.1 is
optimized for the creation of personalized and
expressive
content. The S Pen’s feel and functionality are specifically
designed for an optimal experience on the 10.1-inch screen.
The Galaxy Note 10.1 comes
in three connectivity options: a
WiFi-only version, a WiFi-and-3G HSPA-Plus
connectivity
version at launch, and a WiFi-and-LTE version later this year.
