everyone this is Todd Hazleton from TechnoBuffalo today we're checking out the Galaxy Note 8.0 from Samsung quick look at the box you can see we've got the Wi-Fi 16 gig model go around the back eight inch display 5 megapixel camera you can see it's got the smart control with the IR blaster a quad-core processor clocked at 1.6 gigahertz 2 gigs of RAM and that's expandable storage and 4600 milliamp hour battery let's get in to the device itself now here you can see the main home screen and the back that's an 8 inch display like I just said and you've got a 1280 by 800 pixel resolution so we'll take off that plastic it's not very attractive you see it looks like an oversized Galaxy Note and in the same spot you've got the s-pen with the device as well go around the back there's the 5 megapixel camera you can see it's telling us to put the micro SD card right there and the S Pen goes right back into that slot on the bottom micro USB charging and the speaker's up top you've got your 3.5 millimeter headphone jack let's go through the box itself pretty simple we've got the Quick Start Guide got the power cable and the wall wart there let's get the device booted and I'll show you a quick look at it alright now for the sake of time here I know a lot of people like to see how long it takes for the device to boot so I'll do that for you see the buttons here glow just like on the other one will say English yes turn on Wi-Fi let's skip this from now let's skip all this so you can see the home screen will say no for now not now location who it belongs to but wha Dropbox you have freed 50 gigs for two years I'm gonna skip that for now and finish alright so pretty basic here we've seen this before its TouchWiz running on top of jellybean though I believe it's 4.1.2 jelly bean and again we have 16 gigs of storage here's the note application let's take out the s-pen real quick so that was kind of slow with the quad core processor huh everyone so great for note-taking that's the idea of the note obviously here these notifications again so you can see it's giving us tutorials we don't care now quick access to your controls up top which I really like reading mode reading modes been able the screen now optimizes so that should make sure that the brightness doesn't go nuts on you and that your battery's not crazy but then there's also a power saving mode right there Bluetooth sync multi window what I thought was really weird though is Samsung said they're not including NFC on here which is silly because I feel like it would be a great way for you to interact with say you own a galaxy s3 or Galaxy Note 2 or note even and sort of tap and go transfer files it you know it seems like that would be perfect here's a quick look at the applications that come pre-installed flip boards they're smarter note mode rather and that should use the IR blaster and there it is that's on the right side here so you would control the TV like this as opposed to like this since the IR blasters there what else do we have here you've got a screen saver that's just going to go over demos a node HD is though so another note taking application see my idea what a great day that's cool I'll talk about pop-ups huh well I guess it's more of a text taking note application there this is silly huh pop-ups everywhere should turn them off what else do we have all share play that's for DLNA I support music player Samsung's own software here let's see there's any videos we can check out here's a demo of a helicopter you can get an idea for the screen here and the speakers we could pop it out just like with other notes and leave the movie I'll turn down the audio and leave the movie playing while you do all their stuff so if you want to you know go surf the web you can do that chrome pre-installed anyway quick look here everybody this is the Galaxy Note 8.0 from Samsung let us know if you have any questions will we bring you a full review in the coming days this is Todd Hazleton with TechnoBuffalo you
