Samsung's 10.1-inch Galaxy Note 800 Now In India

Samsung has priced the Galaxy Note 800 at Rs. 39,990 (MRP) in India, a price that could be justified with the 1.4GHz quad-core Exynos 4412 processor, Mali 400MP GPU, and 2GB of RAM of onboard, apart from built-in 3G connectivity. However, only the 16GB version of the tablet is being launched (and microSD expandability is up till 32GB), once again raising a question as to its value for money. The tablet had been listed for pre-order on Samsung's India eStore a little over a week ago.

Announcing the launch of the Galaxy Note 800 in the Indian market, stated Mr. Ranjit Yadav, Country Head, Samsung Mobile & IT, “India is one of the first 10 markets in the world where the Galaxy Note 800 is being launched. With the Samsung Galaxy Note 800, Samsung provides a unique user experience that goes beyond passive content consumption to a new world of productivity, active creation and personalized communications. While the S pen offers both active content creation and passive content creation, the Multi screen capability finally enables true multitasking. I expect this device to in many ways to fuel the growth of the tablet market in India and help us further strengthen our market leadership in the tablet market here in India.”
Other specifications of the Galaxy Note 800 include a 5MP autofocus rear camera with LED flash capable of 720p HD video recording, a 1.9MP front camera, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, microUSB with MHL (TV-out), HSDPA 21Mbps, HSUPA 5.76Mbps, Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP, GPS with A-GPS (Glonass) support, and stereo speakers.
Samsung’s also boasting of a new education app on the Galaxy Note 800, called ‘My Education.’ It is said to feature more than 10,000 free videos that have been curated by teachers, and is apparently the largest collection of educational videos mapped to the Indian curriculum. These videos are relevant for all students from Class I to XII. The app also offers more than 800 education text books, which would be the largest collection of educational e-books in India. Samsung says students will also be able to access assessment papers.
