        Samsung has just officially announced the Galaxy Tab 8.0, a tablet 8'' with a phone function. As expected, Samsung has benefited from the launch of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona to unveil its new tablet, which falls into the category of note, particularly because of the presence of the famous pen. Taking note of the design II, Note 8.0 is seen widely stretched and has a TFT screen of 8 inches, with the screen of 1280 x 800 pixels. Format of Galaxy is substantially identical to the iPad mini so with finesse display slightly higher (the screen that displays the latest 1024 x 768).

        Inside, there is a quad-core Cortex A9 processor 1.6 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, 16 or 32GB of storage expandable up to 64GB, a 4600mAh battery, a 5-megapixel camera and a 1.3 megapixel front camera. All are under the invincible Jelly Bean 4.1.2. About the side dimensions, the II dimension is 210.8 mm high, 135.9 mm wide and weighs 338 g, which is slightly more than the iPad.

     Critics are watching, whether this possibility will seduce the public, which seems far from being won. Except in hands free and in specific situations, it is unclear how a phone of this size can really convincing, although there will inevitably be interested consumers by side full hybrid thing. Anyway, the 8.0 rating seemed like a nice unit, opting for a white plastic coating pleasant in hand, but that does not inspire total confidence in terms of strength. However, the OS looks extremely responsive and fluid, which seems logical given the processor that runs everything. Note that the Galaxy Tab 8.0 will be available the second quarter of 2013 for a price still unknown. But the latest rumors indicates that the price may be around 390 €.
