Anonymous, 07 May 2013for the price of this, you can get a 32gb ipad mini.
s... moreFor this price, we get a Wacom Digitizer system, use a 64 GB micro SD card to expand media content (making it 80GB total), make phone calls & SMS, transfer files DIRECTLY through wifi or bluetooth, and most of the major features of the Note II.
All you can brag about with the mini are how good is exterior is and slightly more apps available. It is certainly "cheaper" but less. I didn't have to pay an extra $70 to $80 just to have an extra 16GB model of the mini. A 32GB micro SD card cost less than $30, and a 64GB one some $68. I just slide in my old 32GB capacity card from my previous device into my Note 8.

Anonymous, 06 May 2013Hi,can anyone tell me whether I can connect by hard disk dr... moreYes, if you root it first, like with how I did it in my last post below. You need to then install the free app called Paragon. You'll also need to get an OTG USB connector to connect to a hard disk.
Remember, you void your warranty of you root your device. But you can still unroot it with the app I mentioned (Framaroot).

Hi,can anyone tell me whether I can connect by hard disk drive with the device? Basically, I want to know if I download stuff from the Hard Disk directly on to the note and vice versa? I'm planning to use a tablet full time rather than having to carry around my office laptop everywhere.

sammy, 05 May 2013can it be connected to the projector for presentations Yes, you need to have the correct HDMI connector dongle. You can even have the he wireless AllShareCast accessory. I'm getting that today for my class presentations. You don't need to be stationary. Good for drawing demonstrations.

I managed to root the N5100 using the Framaroot app shared at the XDA Developers Forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229788
There's even a YouTube video of the method:

Remember, only root if you really need it and you know what you're doing.

The first charge was empty after 30 minutes, the second full charge I could use for 1 hour, the third charge lasted minimally longer. Then I did not disconnect it from the plug socket any more for circa 7 hours. After disconnection of the charger, the duration of discharging lasted eight hours inspite of me browsing extensively, listening to internet radio, up- and downloading gigabytes of files.

yahia, 03 May 2013Very bad batteryWhat do you mean by bad battery? Please clarify. What is good for you?
From experience of more than a week getting the Note 8, 80% of the charge seems to go to powering the screen. Despite this, it can hold some 8 hours of moderate screen on usage over a period of 16-18 hours. This is with WiFi, bluetooth and auto screen brightness.

Why GSMArena team didn't mention the IR blaster feature which includes with this device??! It actually a very good feature in modern tablets. People can control their Home appliances through IR with this device instead of the typical IR remote controllers.

I wonder, Do Samsung provide this model with 4G LTE capability regardless its release in countries without 4G connectivity at the moment?

Derhunter23, 28 Apr 2013Thanks for your invaluable comment/reply. Very much appreci... moreThen you don't need this. A Note 8 is bigger & more versatile than a Nexus 7 to consider the Note 8 as a secondary unit. It cost nearly twice in my region. No much point.
Everything will be 1080p and double that in a year or so anyway. More battery, more weight. It should be light.
