We were hoping for some progress in this area, with Asus and Apple both offering similarly priced tablets outfitted with much higher resolution displays. The 10.1” 1280x800 display in the Galaxy Note 10.1 is essentially identical to the display used in the original Galaxy Tab, which debuted over a year ago. The Galaxy Note 10.1’s screen, however, while ample in size, is somewhat disappointing. An accelerometer, digital compass, flash, gyroscope and 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi (2.4 & 5 GHz) are also standard equipment. In addition, the Note 10.1 sports an easily accessible microSD card slot for users looking to expand their storage options or easily transfer files to the device. The storage configurations are standard for the current crop of tablets, but 2GB of RAM is a definite plus in a sea of 1GB or 512MB equipped devices. The Galaxy Note 10.1 also features 16/32/64GB of internal storage and 2GB of RAM. The combination of the high-performing Exynos 4 Quad and a high-capacity battery culminate in a device that not only put up some of the best performance numbers we’ve seen from an Android-based tablet, but excellent battery life as well. It’s the same chip used in the international version of the Galaxy S III, but in the Galaxy Note 10.1, the chip (and the rest of the Note 10.1’s components) are linked to a relatively large 7000mAh battery. The chip features quad, ARM Cortex-A9 cores, clocked at up to 1.4GHz, with an ARM Mali-400 MP4 GPU and a 32-bit dual-channel memory controller. The Exynos 4 Quad was referred to internally as the Exynos 4412. The Samsung Exynos 4 Quad at the heart of the Galaxy Note 10.1 proved to be a beast of a SoC in terms of performance. On the plus side, Samsung has powered this device with a proprietary SoC that offers excellent performance. The list of specifications above outline some of the Samsung’s intelligent design and engineering decisions, but also show some of the Galaxy Note 10.1’s potential shortcomings.
