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 . 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.
At 340g it’s surprisingly light, even compared to 7in budget models – we had no trouble holding it in one hand without having to give our wrists an occasional rest. The S-pen slots into a holder in the underside of the tablet with a reassuring click, so you can be confident it won’t fall out when on the move. A MicroSD card slot is hidden beneath a (rather flimsy) plastic flap on the left side of the tablet, with both power and volume buttons on the right side. The 3.5mm audio jack sits at the top and the speaker grilles fire downwards from the
base of the tablet.it’s an 8in display based around a 1,280×800 TFT panel.
