I hope if there is another Note 8 in 2015, that it gets a bigger audience and more active development.

No Note announcement at the CES 2015.

Yeah its funny because there was a long topic about A smaller note 2014 but it never came out..
Since they released a couple of 8.4 tabs i suppose they will add one with a stylus
I mean it shouldn't be too hard for thrm haha...
10.1 is too big for me.

Hi guys I googled tab 2015 and found a website called tablet monkeys / i cant post the url coz of whatever reasons.
then i saw Galaxy Tab A 9.7 and co.
then i clicked on the link and found:
"In addition to the display properties, the other thing that have the potential to drive sales of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A Plus 9.7 is the integrated S Pen stylus. That put’s it into Samsung Galaxy Note league."
but these things are low-end tabs. with low res and specs and stuff... :'(
Why wouldnt hey do a tab s 8.4 with a pen ---> a note 8.4 2015 ... ???? grrr

I would assume it is all about sales figures. If Samsung did not sell enough units then they will not make another 8" Note. Also the driving factor on why there is not a 5.0 upgrade as of yet.
The cost of the Note devices might be the reason for them to try and peddle a Tab S with a pen. Keep the device at the right price point for greater sales.

http://tabletmonkeys.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-a-8-0-with-s-pen-launch-in-taiwan/

So the Tab 8 with S-pen replaces the the Note 8. What are the differences between the two?

Is there any review about new tablet?

Guess you've never used an Exynos device (Galaxy S2 or Note). Samsung usually doesn't have its drivers optimized until its about ready to release and even afterwards they still manage to draw out more power.

I don't think I can justify this as a worthy upgrade from Tab 10.1. CM9 should happily carry me for a while, at least until a Nexus tablet appears sometime this year.

I had a Galaxy S2 and a Galaxy Note and now Im using a Galaxy Tab 7.7, it takes samsung a while to get things really going probably due to touchwiz, pre production software barely differs from production up until 4-6 months. No everyone sees it like you do

Drivers are the main difference from pre-production and final release. Galaxy S2 benched poorly and seemed laggy when it debuted last year but when it was released it had the best SoC and was the smoothest Android phone.
The GN 10.1 should have similar performance to the original GN assuming it uses the same Exynos 4210.

The Note 10.1 has a 1.4GHz Exynos processor. Getting away from Teg2 is reason enough to consider it even if everything else was the same. I love the idea of being able to take real notes in meetings so I might pick one up if it's available in the next 4-6 weeks. If it's later than that I'll wait for the 11.6.

I got my S2 1 day before release in my country and it came with the KF1 firmware, TBH I never noticed any 'lag' or slowdowns.. zero difference on my end upto the KG5 firmware which was the firmware in Sept-Oct. Well YMMV, some devices just run smoother than others even if they are both of the same model, based on experience.

the ics update is "almost here"

samsung told me the update may be here by the end of the month

ICS will never be released for galaxy tab 10.1
I think that ICS will never be released for galaxy tab 10.1. The main difference between galaxy tab 10.1 and galaxy tab 2 10.1 (besides mechanics) is that it works with ICS. If the old tab will have ICS there is no reason to buy tab 2. Since they want to make profits from tab 2 they need to keep older OS on older tablet.

You got to be really clever for this, are you working for samsung's marketing department? That's a real scheme you got there!
In case you didn't get the sarcasm, samsung already announced ICS for the Tab 10.1...stop your nonesence for once...
yea its been confirmed and almost if not already complete for release so how can they not be releasing it?
^Yes....and the most suspicious thing is that there is not a single leak....curious, if I might say...

Im not in marketing deparment but im related to android development of tablet and cellular devices. And I strongly beleive that the same ICS version that runs on tab 2 should also fit older tab. So the only reason they delay it or postpone are marketing issues that im not aware of. Also the anouncement is hardly mentioned on the internet and the ICS should have been delivered along time ago.
Have you ever thought why Samsung released ginger breads for Galaxy S on all international versions, while TMobile vibrant version still runs Froyo?
Meh...
If we get a working camera driver out of it, not that big of a deal. We have several ICS options that kick ass and the only thing missing really is working cams

As always samsung uses to upgrade devices that is not too popular in 6-7 mounths after the AOSP release.
Lollipop was announced for Note 2, Note 3 and Galaxy S4 by Samsung Finland.
I have hopes we will get Lollipop, at least I'm praying
Sadly I have lost all faith in Samsung and will not purchase another of their products. I realize it's sacrilege around here but I bought myself an Ipad air 2 for Christmas. Being that I'm keeping the note 10.1 (2014) I'll have a good comparison between the two items.

I agree but there is no other android tablet with s pen in that size and prize range.... next best thing is ms surface but that's something else completely.
The thing is, I use the pen for alot of stuff (drawing plans to rearrange our flat for example ) and alot of friends and family are totally intrigued by it. I can't imagine buying a tablet without pen after this... its a must have feature once you're used to it. Sadly there is no real competition...
Nevertheless I'm almost sure there will be a lollipop update for it reasonably soon (2-3 months). Unless samsung releases a note 10.1 2015 in the next 2-3 months then the update could be even later. But remember even the original note 10.1 got updated to KitKat!
It'll probably never happen...
So sick and tired of samsungs crap support. I am also sick of my Note 10.1 2014 just being "good enough" to get tasks done. I only use lecture notes for this tablet to annotate pdfs. With no lollipop in sight, I'm buying a surface pro 3 at the beginning of next semester to replace this tablet and my ultrabook. If i get real desperate for android, I'll use Console OS.

I thought it worth to let you all know that I am using Lollipop on a Samsung Note 2014 10.1(SM-P600) wifi only.
There is a thread on the android original development forum by RaymanFX. Its Cyanogenmod 12 which means its Touchwiz free and KNOX fuse is tripped.
More importantly however its miles ahead of KitKat- touchwiz in terms of responsivenes, snappines and fluidity.
There also is this article http://www.xda-developers.com/android/analysis-of-the-galaxy-note-3-android-5-0-leak/ and if all is well and truly as remarkable with Touchwiz- Lollipop then I would love to see this ported somehow to Samsung Note 2014 10.1(SM-P600) wifi and sister/brother models.
Adding all Apps from Samsung Note Pro 12.2 to such a port would be like phenomenal! I have donated before and would donate again on a project like that.
:good:
This tablet will be updated but it's going to be awhile so relax and enjoy life until then.

If you bought a Samsung tablet and expected much more than 1 update, you're a fool. It's a trade off for superior functionality over the more-update Nexus tablets.

I have a Nexus 7 (the first edition). It received the Lollipop update last year and since then is almost useless due to lags and sluggishness. I also got the most recent update (L 5.02) which they claim it fixes N7 lags, but I did not see any improvement. Everything is slow, browsing is slow, booting takes minutes.
With this experience, I have no rush to update my Samsung tablets to Lollipop
Samsung should think about why their sales are going down... l hope this powerful device will get Lolipop but if not I think Samsung will loose aanother buyeri...
Poslano s tableta (tapatalk)
I guess I'm the only one still happy with my Note 10.1 2k14 edition. I'm running a custom ROM. I use the handwriting and s-pen functions quite a lot and don't imagine that I would be happy without those functions. My tablet still functions fine and is nice and responsive (not as fast as my Note 4, but also not as new). I'm really in no hurry for Lollipop on my device. KitKat runs fast and is stable for me.
It's time for Samsung to wake up. This is a modern world. We pay premiums prices for top-rated Samsung phones and tablets, and expect regular updates. We dont need to beg for the updates. The computing world changes rapidly, and samsung should follow suit. It's becoming clearer that Samsung cannot keep up with Google releasing free updates to free android softwares. It's becoming clearer that Samsung Tizen software will eventually be a useless OS.
Just out of curiosity . . Why is getting lollipop so important that people are willing to sell their tablets in shear outrage?
I've got it on my note 3 and in terms of functionality there is very little difference . . .

New Samsung Note 10.1 with S Pen Announced

Samsung officially unveils the Galaxy Tab A for Korean markets, with S Pen also mentions the United States and the UK.
Here is the link from Neowin.net
http://www.neowin.net/news/samsung-officially-unveils-the-galaxy-tab-a-for-korean-markets-with-s-pen
"Galaxy Tab A" is not a samsung note 10.1
And some of the specs are even worse then the Note 10.1 (2014) specs, e.g. display.
So no, this is not an upgrade.
The title of this thread needs to be changed. This is not an announcement about a Note tablet.

Even though it is not listed as a Note it is still is a note device since it includes and SPen. It is just semantics.
No, it's not a Note device. It's a tablet with an pen. Would a iPhone with a SPen a Note device? It's called the Galaxy Tab A for a reason. The reason being it's a Galaxy Tab A. Not a Note.

Yes, it could have been semantics if this tablet had specifications that were an improvement over the Note 10.1 2014. They are not. The device resolution is lower than that of the Note 10.1 2014.
However, it is true that Samsung has released a tablet that Samsung regards as the continuation of the Note 10.1 series. Unfortunately for those who like Android, these tablets are powered by Windows 10.
No semantics at all, a Tab A device is not a Note. This Tab A device is a continuation of the Tab A 9.7 with S-Pen, not a follow up to the Note line.

Sorry to get back to that thread, but what tablet do you think of?
Unfortunately the tap pro s has no stylus.
Is there a spen version of it available?

will the S2 Exynos (2015)edition get Nougat?

What do you think, will samsung limit Nougat on the S2 to the newer Snapdragon version of the tablet?
I dont think Samsung is going to have Nougat for S2. That will be in the Tab S3.
Yes, it's been reported that the T810 is testing and will be released soon.

As long as we have it by Easter, I will be happy. Nougat is awesome on my OnePlus 3 and the split screen mode will be great on the Tab S2.

The rumours about Nougat is getting louder:
https://www.sammobile.com/2016/12/19/galaxy-tab-s2-running-nougat-surfaces-on-gfxbench/
My galaxy tab s2 wifi only (t710) is still in 5.0.2 on sammobile but thanks to flashing, I was able to get MM. Now I am worried that my tab s2 will not get a proper nougat update because the update rolls out only to LTE versions.
According to this source (https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-begins-rollout-of-android-7-0-nougat) the "Galaxy Tab S2 (LTE unlock)" will be included in the Android 7.0 update rollout for Samsung devices this year. Seems legit, considering it's from Samsung themselves
I think the S2 will get Nougat. It's just a case of when and how good it will be?
However, I also think that will be it. Absolutely no chance at all of getting Android 8.
Given my experience with Samsung tablets, I'm not even clear T813 will see an update to 7.x.
That would be 2 in a row for me (poorly supported Samsung tablets), and probably my last purchase from them.

According to many sources, Samsung has already made Nougat & is testing it now (nougat benchmarks seen on GFXBench).

Given my experience with Samsung tablets, I'm not even clear T813 will see an update to 7.x.
That would be 2 in a row for me (poorly supported Samsung tablets), and probably my last purchase from them.

The problem is, who else is making good spec Android tablets with Amoled screens? From my point of view, MM is running well and has been for the last 6 months. A Nougat upgrade would be nice, (especially for the multi window mode,) but I wouldn't loose any sleep if it wasn't updated. They do need to release a recent security update though.
As my experience with the One Plus 3 has been so good, I'd like to see them shake Samsung up by entering the tablet market. I know it wont happen but I can dream. :angel:

It would be a great thing for the tablet market to have OP enter. (maybe not great for the OP bottom line, as the tablet market seems to be stagnant.. still I think there is room for a Nexus-like tablet.. and Google seems to have abandoned that niche)

So it begs the question, what specs and how much would you be prepared to pay?
For me, take a OP3, put it in the tab S2 body and I'd happily pay £400 (~$450) all day long. Of course, it would have to be running OOS.

I bought a T813... hard to find a more expensive Android tablet
Coming from OP, I would expect it to cost less

No mention of the 710

As long as we have it by Easter, I will be happy. Nougat is awesome on my OnePlus 3 and the split screen mode will be great on the Tab S2.

Out of curiosity, how much did you have to give for it? I got my 32GB T813 as an impulse buy for $399 the other day, and while I've seen used ones for less, it felt like a decent deal for a new unit.
