Samsung has further expanded its line-up of stylus-equipped devices with the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0. It sits between the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 – a giant smartphone - and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 – a full-sized tablet. The Note 8.0 has an 8in display, a Touchwiz-skinned version of Android and the S-pen for note-taking and sketching.
Here we're looking at the Wi-Fi only version of the device, though a 4G version is also available, which brings the device far closer to the Note smartphones thanks to its ability to make and receive calls and texts. That version, though, isn’t yet widely available and the only one we could find was going for a whopping £459.
Back to the Wi-Fi model, it’s still a hefty £339. That’s twice the price of Google’s slightly-smaller 7in Google Nexus 7, and £70 more than even the 7.9in Apple iPad Mini. Of course neither of those devices has a stylus, but with such a high price the Note 8’s penmanship will really need to impress in order to earn our recommendation.
