usa.com so we're hands on with the Galaxy Note 8 which is an upcoming
tablet from Samsung it's part of their note series which means you get all of
those note optimized features things like the included stylus or the whatever
it's called the S Pen I think is what Samsung likes to call a stylus as well
as the full digitizer built into the display itself so that's going be
extremely useful for users who want more than just the onoff functionality that
you get with most touch screens so instead you're actually able to apply
distinctly different amounts of pressure so it's great for uh for sketching for
things like uh what else I think I gave a couple examples when I did this
rehearsal but I can't remember any of them now the point is that if you want
to draw on your tablet if you want it to be useful for more than just for artists
you know if you're on the go you want to draw something and you want to actually move that over to your computer later I
know for example here at at Tech tips we'd love to have a tablet with a
digitizer because when we're doing things like storyboarding for episodes
it'd be great to be able to draw on something that looks a little bit more
sophisticated than just lines in terms of performance it's going to have a quad
core E9 it's an 8 in tablet so you've got a 1280 by 800 resolution so you can
watch uh 720P HD content and it's at
Native resolution but 1080p content would be downscaled the overall look of
the device is pretty much it's got a white back that's particular one
although I guess uh actually I have no idea if it's going to be available in
different colors so I'm not going to promise anything but this is white backed and it basically looks like a
gigantic Galaxy S3 white cuz you got
your rear camera here you got micro SD expansion here on the side and then
that's pretty much it for the back your headphone jack is on the top of the
device right here and then moving down this side you've got your unlock your
volume rocker moving down to the bottom that's where the S Pen is stashed and
what's cool about the S Pen is it's not just a storage pocket here it actually
opens up uh the relevant applications
when you open it and close it so you can see you pop that back in and it goes back to the home screen also on the
bottom you've got Samsung's charging station stereo speakers I would love to
see more tablet manufacturers move towards stereo speakers prefer
preferably optimized for landscape content viewing but I mean hopefully
that's something that we'll see sort of moving more forward in the future it's
certainly better than something like you know my old iPad 2 which is what I'm
still using dayto day which has one speaker on the back of the device so at
least we're moving in the right direction here uh on the front you've
just got your light sensor as well as your front camera and then the usual one
hard button for the home button and then back and contextual menu buttons so
we're really excited to bring you guys sort of more information about this
little tablet sometime in the future when we get our hands on a working one
as you may or may not have noticed the Jelly Bean OS that's on this particular
one here has this yellow text all over it that actually doesn't go away because
this is not a finished device yet so I just wanted to show you guys what it
looks like in terms of size so I'll do my trademark iPhone 4 comparison I'm
getting evil looks from all the Samsung folks in the room here for uh for
pulling out an iPhone in their in their uh in their Suite but I'm sorry guys I'm
sorry I had to do it I do it every time people expect it from me so the actual
thickness is is pretty similar to something like like this device and the
feel is not super light like we've had
with uh even previous Samsung devices so the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the one that I
actually still use dayto day for a Samsung tablet and had quite a light
feel to it this one uses a bit of a denser plastic and it feels like a a
thick piece of glass you can you can tell there's there's no there's no flex
to the device it is a little bit more solid I personally don't mind this it's
one of the things I like about the iPhone 4 compared to other smartphones
is it actually has some heft to it it feels like something that you're not
just going to kind of go W and drop all over the place so it comes down to the
individual user how they feel about that but overall construction feels solid and
I really look forward to showing you guys more about this don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for more
unboxings reviews and other computer videos and apparently I mean this sort
of a computer but mobile device videos too couple key things that I actually
missed before and this I was I was tinkering with the screen I was pressing
on it and I was going oh this doesn't look like an LCD uh it looks like this
is either Amed or super Amed it's it's
not an LCD display which is extremely exciting because this is one of the
larger format organic LED displays that
I've yet encountered looks absolutely beautiful I mean the viewing angles are
outstanding and the other thing that I missed before is that is an IR emitter
which means that you should be able to use this as a universal remote among all
the other functionalities that you can enable with an IR emitter most of which
the universal remote
