Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 in Malaysia

Another new GALAXY Note from Samsung. A new era of experiencing portability and everyday productivity. Samsung Malaysia unveiled the GALAXY Note 8.0. A novel intelligent Note technology is set to re-ignite the mid-size tablet category by providing unrivaled multimedia performance within a compact one-hand-grip screen. The GALAXY Note 8.0 is designed to offer people a whole new level of experience in efficient multi tasking while benefiting from superb voice call functionality. People can even experience the ease of a traditional pen and paper with the intelligent S Pen – creating a sophisticated mobile experience that enhances life on-the-go.

At the core of the GALAXY Note 8.0’s innovative solutions are beneficial functions such as the multi-window options to allow optimal access to a number of live applications. People can now access a suite of S Note templates and tools that allow them to create, edit, manage and share everyday documents seamlessly. More than that, the “reading mode” technology enables reading with optimized resolution. These new content and services are pre-loaded for users at no additional cost.

A smart diary for life on the go 

Slim and compact enough to become the perfect on-the-go work and play companion, the GALAXY Note 8.0 brings powerful performance and functionality to support even the most demanding of lifestyles. Designed to store and manage personal and professional data efficiently, this device of the new era gives people the perfect pocket-sized, hands-on organisational tool. Practical S Note templates and S Planner features help to manage everyday tasks, including meeting notes, to-do lists and even personal diary entries. All content can be entered and updated with the finest of detail thanks to the evolution of the intelligent Samsung S Pen. Enhanced precision is offered with Handwriting-to-Text conversion and advanced Productivity Tools that support formula and shape recognition are also available at the touch of the S Pen.

New content and services

The GALAXY Note 8.0 is packed with pre-loaded content and apps specifically to benefit its users. An upgraded ChatON provides easy instant-messaging and group chatting in multiple formats – images, video, voice, contacts – for simple, enjoyable communication. Awesome Note, a new integrated application for Android tablets that is introduced with Note 8.0, is capable of unlimited note-taking functions including Memo, Diary and To-do lists. With Flipboard, RSS, social network and other feeds come together in one stylish format so people can enjoy news and life’s great moments in one application. Flipboard developed a customised version of its application which capitalises the tablet’s ideal 8-inch display, delivering an enjoyable experience viewing multimedia content. 

A new age of S Pen intelligence

Optimised to aid personalised creativity, the Samsung S Pen has evolved to increase everyday usability and enhance content creation. Embedded within the tablet, the S Pen is an extension of the GALAXY Note 8.0. Removing the S Pen from the device will automatically launch innovative features such as Pen Detection that suggests adapted menus that users need and Page Buddy, a feature that will intuitively activate your most recently adapted S Note home screen.

The S Pen technology is now so advanced that it doesn’t even have to touch the screen. With Air View, the S Pen can be hovered over the screen to see previews of videos, emails, photos and appointments on S Planner without opening the file or application in full. S Pen Gesture allows images and content to be easily edited and cropped, whilst Paper Artist and Photo Note allow photos to be artistically personalized. In addition, for the very first time in the GALAXY Note category, the S Pen can be used to control the physical menu or back buttons on the device.

Maximising mass multimedia consumption

Creative multi-tasking with the GALAXY Note 8.0 is made possible with the innovative Dual View feature – two multi-window options that seamlessly allow people to navigate the device via multi screens. The Dual View’s screen accommodates optimal operation of different apps, such as launching the S Note on the web browser screen and allowing content to be resized, dragged and dropped when needed.

Multi-tasking is now extended to phone calls. Pop Up Note allows access to S Note at any time to keep track of key actions and Pop Up Video enables people to surf the web or chat while watching a video – content windows can be easily resized by pinching to enlarge or reduce.

Perfect info-tainment partner

Packed with features to engage, entertain and excite, the GALAXY Note 8.0 supports practical everyday needs. Reading Mode transforms the GALAXY Note 8.0 into an e-Book reader, providing the optimal reading conditions to ensure an enjoyable experience. Finally, Smart Remote transforms the Note 8.0 into a universal remote control and electronic programming guide, allowing people to manage watching TV and video seamlessly with the device.
