Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 review: Flying first class

23 October 2013
Lightweight, agile and simply affordable, seven-inchers did, at one point, seem capable of pushing ten-inch Android tablets out of business. Even Samsung, with its device-for-every-taste approach had to admit defeat...

    Not that great. I just bought one. It's a laggy and buggy device. I made all the updates (3 soon after turning it on). Nothing changed. I'm telling you, I'm the owner of a Galaxy note 2 and a g. note 8, and they are incrediable better, more faster and smoother. I'wasn't expect nothing else than worst than that. Is similar in buggy and laggy as the my fist galaxy S (three years old device), or worst.
    The screen is amazing, the battery life disapointed. Previously this tablet I had an Ipad 2, but I sold to buy this one... Even hating apple i'm missing it. In the end, I rooted, freezed a lot of apps, and installed a new launcher, to improve what samsung should do by itself...

            He offers his personal experience. It is very close in weight and dimensions to the iPad air and offer more information throughput? So how exactly is the iPad air faster? It can address memory more efficiently ooooo, that wasn't really an issue on tablets yet? We aren't using them as desktops, and even if the iPad's processor could handle desktop grade applications the iPad itself doesn't have enough memory to load application large enough to need more efficient memory addressing. He offers his personal experience and you systematically say that everything he enjoys about the tablet is sup-par? That's so freakin apple.

                        Great device. Love the fact it has an IR port, so I can ue it as a remote for all my devices. Best of all, I'm not tied down to Itnes like now with my IPad. I've had enough of the itunes, need the freedom as with my Note II. Just love the stylus. Specs are brilliant and love the fact I can use my 3 x 64Gb sd cards with this for my videos i take on the road trips.

                          Hi there,
                          I'm wondering what the charging time is. On tablets I think that would be as important information (from certain percentages) as the battery life because they have huge batteries.
                          Thank you!

                            Shootergod, 26 Oct 2013Well, it is as thin and light as ipad air and it packs more... moreiPad Air is more powerful and faster,lighter,thinner than this and it has better battery life and better material for it's body and more apps.

                                >>> "For great devices you need to pay.Don't expect to own a great device for a cheap price."

                                The Samsung Note 10.1 2014 is overpriced. In the UK, it is costs £499, but in the USA the same tablet is £373.2 (at £1=$1.60). British customers are being overcharged.

                                    change from front facing stereo speakers in the note 10.1 to side on this is a fail in my opinion.. that was one of the best features of my note 10.1
