That is not the successor to the Galaxy Tab 10.1, its is the 10.1 inch version of the Galaxy Tab 2. Its just really confusing naming used.
It is a low/mid end device and the Galaxy Note 10.1 will be high end.

Let's just hope the galaxy note 10.1 comes with Samsung's Exynos quad-core chips

The 10.1 is the 10.1 inch version of the Galaxy Tab, hence its called Galaxy Tab 10.1. The Tab 2 10.1 inch is the successor, not the Note 10.1".

I think it has gsm calling functions that we miss but it lacks (gyroscope , flash in camera , 2mp front camera , and thicker and heavier ) , may be we could benifit from a port for its rom , it is packed with many useful apps

I'm kind of hoping this is the case but I cannot find any supporting information, albeit at this early stage. I suspect it may not, while GSM calling capabilities will be offered on the 10.1 Note as one point of differentiation, allowing Samsung to position the 10.1. Note somewhat above the new 10.1 Tab2?
Are there any details you have which lead you to believe GSM calling may be an option on the new 10.1 Tab2?

If a forum full of us nerds (or half nerds) can't figure out Samsung's lineup then they are in a lot of trouble. The galaxy 2 10.1 is not our 10.1's successor. Its a 10" version of the new normal galaxy tab. I believe our tabs successor will be called so something else. The dual core 1ghz processor in the galaxy 2 seems like a step back. There's no way a fatter, slower version of our 10.1 can be the next iteration. But the fact that we have to argue about what is what does not bode well for their marketing strategy. Fix your **** Sammy.

OK, thanks, I see that...
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_tab_2_10_1-4567.php
"Tablet with support for GSM voice communication, SMS, and MMS."
That would represent a significant benefit over the original 3G Tab 10.1, so now I am wondering if there is new hardware in the Tab2, or maybe the Tab2 ICS ROM might somehow retroactively activate this feature in (3G) versions of the original Tab 10.1.
It's early, and these products have not even been officially launched but my understand now is that there are two new 10" tablet products:
1.) Tab2 10.1
2.) Note 10.1
How these are ultimately positioned with respect to each other, and any previous version(s), remains to be seen/heard, I guess.

OK so after seeing the Galaxy Note 10.1 it is not the successor to our Tab 10.1, but the the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 certainly isn't either. I'm thinking they will have something new for us at their Galaxy SIII conference whenever that is.

I don't think so... I think the Note 10.1 is about 4mm thicker than the S-pen.
If the Engadget specs are correct then the Note 10.1 is 8,9 mm thick and the pen looks like a regular S-Pen which is 5mm in diameter.

Wow, its very interesting... as the S3 is released I think it would be great to upgrade the Note family

TMobile officially ends the galaxy note!

It's official, TMobile has cut the galaxy note out. Why? Probably has to do with the fact that the note 2 is around the corner. And I waited all this time for the note to come out on TMobile! Late to the party note, thanks. Although I did get a note and I love it for it's huge display and stylus, there is nothing else impressive about this phone. All I can do now is wait for the note 2, will be announced thus month on the 29th, and enjoy the last few breaths this note has left,in it.

Well, besides the brick-bug which can easily be avoided, what is there to dislike? I mean, other than the quad-core behemoths, the Note is still a very powerful device and the large screen plus S Pen just add to its capabilities. If you don't find a use for the S Pen, or larger screen, then why not just get an Galaxy S3 or HTC One X rather than wait for the Note 2?

IM guessing that's directed at me since you did quote me. X) I actually traded my have for the TMobile note last week. I love the big screen and the stylus, but the note could have definitely used more ram. Most of the time at Any given usage the note is occupying more than %85 of ram and it's clearly obvious. I love the note, just wish the size matched it's internal hardware specs. Note 2 is ganna rock.

Speaking about RAM, yes I agree Note has bare minimum available to run smoothly. When I run Tasker with sweet sounding Loquendo TTS engine announcing vital info, things start to load afresh when apps are switched.

I mean, what is the point if not to simply wait 6 months and then do it. Price will be lower etc.. at least that... At the end, you have a great piece of smartphone which is doing fine, like now
ps: looking forward to see the price tag on S4 and then the next Note. Christmas discounts beats them all at the end... and then, it's each to his own Comming from SGS II I skipped S III as it was flawed, no leap, no nothing IMO. Saw S IV might give the boost, but still I doubt seen CM Dev's are turning their back at it... Dunno, I must evaluate, but no S iV Mini is a true upgrade option for me...

yes me too. BUT...
I hate Nexus 4's display. so much blue. the dark black is bluish (blue-ish). And the display is not calibrated and again what I hate about Nexus phones is the camera is bad. Although the phone is very fast and I love the pure stock Google's Android experience!
and by the way, how much the Nexus 4 priced in your country? mine is $500, I'm in Indonesia.. SO EXPENSIVE!!

Will the galaxy mega replace the note series?

The note series is one of Samsung's flagship lines.
The 'mega' phones, on the other hand, seem to be a low/mid-range phone for people who don't need much in a phone, but want a large screen.
It's a pretty good idea, not sure how it'll sell though.
- Frank

The main difference between the Note series and any of the others (S, Mega) is that the Note series comes with a stylus.
Hence 'Note'. For note taking.
So no. I doubt the Mega series will "replace" the Note series per se.
But it might help cater more for those who want a large phone and never use their stylus.

Well, I can count up to three people I know who bought their notes just for their big screen, and almost never use the stylus.
So it might not be a "replacement", in the full meaning of the word, but more like a better option for all of the people who just don't need an stylus in their phones, specially if it comes with the not-wacom-screen discount...

I seriously doubt it, For me this mega series is just too big. I consider anything above 5.6 inches to be a tablet.

The good news is that we now know the note 3 wont be 6.3 ins.

Looking at his expected specs, especially the display, Samsung doesn't want it to be a high-end phone like the note series. It will, again it's just a rumour, have a LCD display with the same resolution as ours, but with a way lower dpi value. That's exactly the point why I'm not really interested in this device.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

thank God, i never wanted note 3 to be more than 6 in. now i can hope for a 5.7-5.9 in note 3 wow. it would be an ideal device if its 5.7 in.

Aimed at different markets - I can see this more for the "developing" markets where the majority can't afford a phone and a tablet but want both.

its not just specific to the developing countries. Even elsewhere people dont like multiple devices with scattered data. unified devices are appreciated by all these days

note forever........most people cant diatinguish between the phones coz of the 99% similarity. But the stylus of the note puts a clas to it. for professionals note is the way to go.
For a resident doc its the best device i have ever had i my life. so note 3 for me. its been more than a year and my device never gave me any impression that my tech is obsolete. Good updates and full functional.

I would say more:
Galaxy Mega = Note 2 - S pen - Superamoled screen
And Mega line will probably stick to plastic while Note3 and S5 will change body material to single aluminium body frame.
It will be another option, that's all.

I think many people would buy a slightly improved Mega 5.8 over a Note. Put the 6.3 specs into the 5.8's body and change the screen for AMOLED and I think it would appeal to many.

if note 3 is over 6 inches then bye bye samsung. 5.8 should be the size of the note 3 and what samsung did, wasted the ideal smartphone size on a useless junk. i dont think samsung sales this year will be sky high.
i think their downhill is started because they are packing the market with junk like galaxy grand, s3 mini, note 8.0 and now this galaxy mega.
there is no development on these devices and that they are not the flagships yet they will compete with samsungs own flagships rather than competing with the rivals.
so samsung ur time to shine is gone. seems like u have burnt all he fuel and is now becoming the dying star
