Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 confirmed, benchmarks results leak as well

The arrival of the upcoming stylus-
enabled Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet
has been confirmed, and is set to rival the
iPad mini in terms of size and
specifications. The info comes courtesy of
the usually very reliable Sammobile and
its undisclosed internal sources.
While Samsung has many offerings in the
7-8″ tablet range, this will be the first
Note device to fall within the mini-tablet
category, and is set to run Android 4.2
out of box.
The Note 8.0, will come in 3G+WiFi (GT-
N5100) and WiFi only (GT-N5110)
variants, and feature a 1280 x 800 pixel
Super Clear LCD display, 5 MP camera
with 1.3 front-facing, 2 GB of RAM, 16/32
GB internal memory expandable by
microSD slot. Inside, you’ll find a quad-
core 1.6GHz quad-core Exynos 4412
processor.
There is the usual array of connectivity
features, including Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi a/
b/g/n and GPS. All of this will be powered
by a 4600 mAh battery, and the Android
4.2 Jelly Bean version will come with the
usual array of S-Pen apps and
optimizations.
Benchmarks of the new Note have also
leaked, showing how it stacks up against
other devices in the GLBenchmark GPU
test. The Android version stated in
GLBenchmark reads 4.1.2, but that can
easily be explained that the tested
prototype was far from finalized.
You can see how the Note’s GLBenchmark
scores stack up against the iPad mini

We expect to learn more about the tablet
at MWC next month, so be sure to check
back with us then for full coverage of the
event.
