AT&T is now offering the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 online and in retail store for $399 when signing a new 2-year contract. The tablet will join Apple's iPad mini in the carrier's small sized tablet lineup.
When Samsung launched the Galaxy Note 8.0 it had one tablet in its sight, Apple's iPad mini. Instead of copying Apple and releasing a similar 8-inch tablet, the company knew it needed to offer a killer feature that would make its tablet stand out from the iPad mini, and that feature would be a stylus. Samsung decided to bring the familiar feeling of writing with pen and paper to its smartphones and tablets by using the S-Pen. The S-Pen allows users to interact with the Galaxy Note 8.0 in ways that current third party stylus can't. An included feature called Air View allows users to preview emails, calendar events, photos and videos just by hovering over the screen with the S Pen. The Pen features precise touch and control and takes advantage of the S-Pen specific apps Samsung includes with the tablet, as well as third party applications built for the S-Pen.
If you want to use your tablet in a more traditional way but with more advanced features; the Galaxy Note 8 with the inclusion of the S-Pen provides a whole new and intuitive tablet experience. The AT&T Galaxy Note 8.0 features an 8-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen with 1200 x 800 resolution with 189ppi (pixels per inch), runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, powered by a 1.6GHz quad-core processor and Mali-400MP GPU, includes 16GB of internal storage, 2GB of RAM, a 5-megapixel rear camera with 720p HD video recording at 30fps, a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera, 4G LTE radio, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, stereo Bluetooth 4.0, GPS with A-GPS connectivity, GLOANASS support, digital compass, built-in infrared port, microSD expansion slot with up to support for 64GB microSD cards, S-Pen and a 4, 600 mAh battery.
You can purchase the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 online and in retail stores for $399 when signing a new 2-year contract. AT&T is also offering a special deal by bundling the Galaxy Note 8.0 with the purchase of the Galaxy S4 Active or Samsung Galaxy Note 2, bringing the price of the Galaxy Note 8.0 down to $199.99.
