Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition - Review, Specs And Price
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition improves everything that bothered us about the original, and it's quickly become one of our favorite Android 10" tablets. That goodness comes at a price though: the Note 10.1 2014 Edition costs $50 more than the outgoing model. The WiFi 16 gig is $550 and the 32 gig is $600.
Other goodies include the new faux leather back in your choice of white or black, dual band WiFi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.0, a GPS, a consumer IR blaster and Samsung WatchOn for AV remote control of home theatre gear, a front 2MP camera and rear 8MP camera with LED flash and HDR. Samsung's usual TouchWiz is on board on top of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and you get that Samsung software army including Multi Window, Air View, S Voice, KNOX security (look out, those of you who flash custom ROMs, KNOX may tattle on you), S Translator, S Note and Samsung's own video, music and app stores. All the standard Google apps are here too: email, Gmail, Chrome and the old webkit web browser, Maps, Google Play Store and related Google Play apps and Gallery.
