Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 to Debut at Mobile World Congress 2013
The guys over at SamMobile have uncovered information on an upcoming Note device referred to as GT-N5100. It appears the GT-N5100 will be the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 and is expected to debut at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
I’m actually quite excited about the possibility of an 8-inch Galaxy Note tablet as I believe Samsung sort of dropped the ball with the 10-inch model. The specs look decent and I’m going to go out on a limb here and predict Samsung will make the Note 8.0 an affordable solution competitive with the likes of the Nexus 7.
Uncovered specs for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 include:
- Code name: Kona

- Camera 1.3 megapixel (FRONT)

If Samsung drops this bad boy into the market for under $299, I’ll be all over it. Any more expensive than $349 and I’ll have to pass. How about you, at what price point does this thing have to come in for you to consider it a viable option?
It’s at least good to know Samsung has another option for us to consider and we should get to see it fairly soon.
