Samsung announces development on a new 8-inch tablet under the Galaxy Note line

GALAXY NOTE 8.0. Samsung announces an 8-inch version in its Note family of pen-enabled tablets.

MANILA, Philippines – While it was mentioned in passing last month by Samsung Mobile Business Head Jong-Kyun Shin, Samsung officially announced the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 at the Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona, Spain on Monday February 25.

Samsung’s new 8-inch tablet will come with a 1280×800 TFT display and will be powered by a 1.6GHz Exynos 4 Quad-core processor, 2GB RAM and the Android 4.1.2 Jellybean operating system. It will take advantage of 32GB of internal storage with microSD expansion available for users looking for more storage.

Engadget notes some additional features that hope to set the Galaxy Note 8.0 apart from the competition, such as the ability to turn the tablet into a smart remote control for televisions and the inclusion of a “reading mode” that adjusts the display to allow for easier reading over a longer period of time.

Pricing and availability have yet to be announced for the device. – Rappler.com
