The Note 800 is the larger note device with a small screen Galaxy Note 5.3 inch version. The USPs of the new Note 800 is its powerful processing capabilities, multi-screen multi-tasking capabilities, large battery life and compact form factor. Apart from this, it has a stylus as well which Samsung calls the S-Pen. The reason why this is different from the Samsung Tab lineup and is in the Galaxy Note lineup is the sleek form factor and Stylus which enables lots of innovative and useful applications possible on the Galaxy Note 800.
At the price point, it may look expansive, but with the form factor and performance it delivers, it can be a very potent laptop or netbook alternative and a tough competitor for the popular iPad.
