2013-02-24
hey everyone this is anton from pocketnow.com michael behind the camera we are in barcelona 40 2013 mwc samsung showing off the galaxy note 8.0 we're taking a look at it right now so what we want to do is just take you on a quick comparison between the Galaxy Note 8.0 the iPad Mini which is upside down and the Nexus 7 from google and we just want to show you a quick hardware charges we actually don't have that much time we're being thrown out samsung has given us plenty of time so far but you can notice right away if we're just looking at hardware the Nexus 7 the ipad mini they both have this kind of sheer sided rectangular unapologetically square approach Samsung has definitely rounded the corners of it you can see these much wider radius corners from the galaxy s3 you can see as far as the back goes once again apple and and sous have done the kind of matte finish one metal one in rubber and here we have Samsung's hyper glaze coating on top of whatever material they're using on the back of course we've got the s pen down below as far as cameras go this is a 5 megapixel camera on the iPad Mini matched on the note 80 no camera of course on the nexus 7 front-facing cameras on all of them you can see they've all got their volume controls in the same place ir blaster on the note 80 which is not present on either of the other units flipping around to the other side we can see another significant difference the Galaxy Note 80 the only one not with a sim card but with a micro SD card slot so that is definitely worth noting we hop around to the front here for the displays the Nexus 7's display is a 1280 by 800 display at 216 PPI the iPad Mini is a 1024 x 768 display at seven point nine inches kicking out 163 PPI and the new Galaxy Note 80 is a 1280 by 800 display at eight inches kicking out 189 PPI so both the note 8.0 and the ipad mini feature IPS displays just at different sizes here difficult to compare in the kind of lighting conditions we've got and this is just a quick comparison but you can see similar tolerances as far as edge visibility and of course in size they're in basically the same neighborhood and hopping over to the Nexus 7 for a quick display comparison difficult to do of course because TouchWiz throws up the wallpaper behind there so we have exposure variances here but the differences in pixel density while they are definitely notable are not instantly noticeable when you happen here we're not looking at these pixels here and saying well this is crazy jagged we're going to have a little more detailed look at that in the future but right now all three of these panels offer their ups their downs and we're not seeing clear winners in any of them and just to wrap it up on the processor side the iPad Mini is of course rocking that a 5 processor with one gig of ram the Nexus 7 has the the Tegra 3 and the Galaxy Note 8.0 the newest of the bunch is bringing an ex knows quad-core at 1.6 gig ER it's backed up by two gigs of RAM so once again that is just a quick comparison between the Nexus 7 the ipad mini and the Galaxy Note 8 point we're gonna have a lot more on this device as Samsung brings it to us Michael Fisher with pocket now stay tuned for more you
