There have been plenty of leaks around
this device, which is expected to be

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 but rather
resembles quite closely to the leaked

this image, one can easily see the back
and home buttons, which are on the
Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet but absent in
case of Galaxy Note II smartphone.

Note 8.0 is expected to sport 8.0-inch
1280X800 TFT (Super Clear LCD) display.

+Wi-Fi version and the GT-N5110, which
will be a Wi-Fi only version. The
dimensions of the tablet will be
211.3X136.3X7.95 mm and it will weigh
around 330g.

Galaxy Note 8.0 include 1.6GHz quad-
core Exynos processor, 4600mAh battery,
2GB of RAM, option of 16 or 32GB as

box. Connectivity options may include
