have larger 10-inch tablets have their day Samsung doesn't think so this is the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition it has the same name as last year's Galaxy Note 10.1 but there's a lot that's different about this tablet for starters take a look at the design this tablet measures just 7.9 millimeters and it weighs 535 grams that's down from 600 grams it definitely feels a lot lighter than the last model and as well the bezels have become smaller so even though the screen is the same size the overall tablet is smaller and that makes it more portable spin it around on the back and you'll see Samsung has ditched the glossy plastic look in favour of this leather effect stitching that's the same effect that you'll get on the new Galaxy Note 3 as well it's not all design changes though most of the hardware has been revamped the screen now has a 25 60 x 1600 pixel resolution that's a very high resolution and indeed on screen icons and pictures it's all looking very very sharp the camera has been beefed up as well on the back this is an 8 megapixel affair spin around on the front this is a 2 megapixel front facing camera for things like video calls the battery is bigger and you get 3 gigabytes of RAM this also has Samsung's own brand eight-core processor which should make for very fast performance though it's possible that you'll get a different processor depending on which country you live in it's got android 4.3 jelly bean on board that's a recent version which is good and it feels very very smooth to swipe around it really is quite a fun tablet to use and I'm impressed as well with how bright the screen is this tablets going to come in lots of different versions there'll be a Wi-Fi 3G and LTE variants as well as 16 32 and 64 gigabytes of storage options that means you should be able to choose the perfect note 10.1 for you but of course the fancy of the technology and the more storage the more you're going to be paying although it's called the 2014 model this new note is actually coming out later this year what do you think let me know and check out cnet com / Eva for much more
