menus in Galaxy Note 10.1 is based on Android 4.0 and Samsung’s own adaptation over. They are easy and good to use. 
You should look closely to see how special this tablet is from the outside. 
Looking a bit you will find However, a pen in one corner of the back. 
Samsung has spent much plastic in the structure of the Galaxy Note 10.1, but it feels relatively sturdy nonetheless.

home screen and notifications area of ??the Galaxy Note 10.1. 
Samsung’s menu system can keep an eye on you, so the screen does not go off while using the tablet. 
You can actually call the Galaxy Note 10.1. The keyboard should be big enough for most, and the board acts as a speakerphone or with headset. If you are looking for a tablet it starts to get much choice in due course. Alongside Apple iPad, there is a myriad of Android variants, which almost invariably resemble each other in form and content. Samsung’s latest tablet form parts with the other Android variants, but the contents Galaxy Note 10.1 offers are quite different.
outside of the Galaxy Note 10.1 does not give very many clues about what lies inside. Design-wise resembling folded a lot of Samsung’s cheaper tablet, the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.
speakers in the front
board is mostly constructed of plastic, with Gorilla Glass over the screen. On each side of your screen Samsung has positioned speakers, so the board will work well too if you choose not to use the earbuds that come with.
The unit we have to test is white over most of the surface, but is framed by a silver-colored plastic field. The design has clearly taken inspiration from Samsung’s other top model – the Galaxy S III, which also has a silver strip that frames the rest of the unit.
shortcuts on screen
As usual Android shortcuts board are mostly located in the screen. Thus, there are few buttons to press here. Volume button and the on / off button located at the top of the tablet.
This is also where you’ll find most of the connectivity of the board can provide. Here are the slots for memory cards of the type Micro SD, mini jack for headphones or handsfree and a slot for SIM if you choose a Galaxy Note 10.1 with support for 3G.

midst of battery of different connections we find something we simply do not see every day. Here Samsung namely placed an IR eye that makes Galaxy 10.1 can be used as a remote control for all possible devices. Settings retrieved from the Internet, allowing you to use the tablet as a remote control the same who have produced your TV.
Good but a bit low resolution screen
display in the grid is the same as the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. It hardly surprising that it is 10.1 inches, but it has a slightly lower resolution than we might have expected. Here it is 1280 x 800 pixels is available.
Several competitors have far more high-resolution monitors network their boards, while Samsung even running 1280 x 800 pixels in significantly smaller screens.
screen is thus not as sharp as we’ve seen in some other devices. Nevertheless, we can not say that we notice so far this weakness in common use. You should keep the screen reasonably close to your face before you can separate the pixels of each other.
Otherwise, we know Samsung as a company that can monitor. It surprises us that is not that the viewing angle and color reproduction of the screen on the Galaxy Note 10.1 is fully compatible.
menus
Galaxy Note 10.1 runs Google’s Android operating system with Samsung’s own adaptation over. We have become accustomed to seeing such adaptations on many Android-based products, but the Galaxy Note 10.1 Samsung has made changes to new heights.
Design-wise, the menus are still quite similar to those we have seen in previous tablets and phones from Samsung. This is Samsung’s usual TouchWiz design. The difference in Galaxy Note 10.1 is that the changes go deeper than they usually do.
More and more features TouchWiz
In the beginning was the TouchWiz menus on Samsung Android phones primarily a collection of separate graphics replaced Google’s buttons, icons and backgrounds. The menu system has gradually taken up in more of telephony functionality. The last few years Samsung has also added progressively more functionality that Google itself has had support.
That means menus Galaxy Note 10.1 has many items you will not find in a tablet with pure android menus. Just like the Galaxy S III wakes front camera Galaxy Note 10.1 to life right before the screen will turn off. Can the tablet a face portrait on the screen.
Shows two apps simultaneously
Simply by side to monitor whether it is being used to Galaxy Note 10.1 also show more than one app simultaneously on the screen, and the ability to play video off the VCR has been extended. These are just some of the many changes Samsung has made. We return to the details of them on the following pages.
It is easy to learn to use the Galaxy Note 10.1. Although there are many small and large graphical changes from normal Android here, the changes are not so dramatic that you do not recognize yourself in most places.
icons are also so intuitive that you should get to use the basic functions completely without experience in tablet or Android.
Some lags in otherwise good menus
menus perceived as fast enough, but perhaps not quite as fluid and fast as they can get in Google’s own Nexus 7 Sometimes it is just as if the board has to think a bit about it before firing on all cylinders and works well while using it.
Part of the reason that the board sometimes is a bit slow may be that it is running Android 4.0.4. Some of the changes in Android 4.1, running on Nexus 7, just go on with this performance. We are working on an update to Android 4.1 for Galaxy Note 10.1.
Just like its namesake, the Galaxy Note, the 10.1 release with a pen. This time it is a much larger and more comfortable than the pen in question in the “small” Galaxy edition. The pen is digital and works on the screen without having a pillow with metallic threads or similar ones.
Samsung makes a lot of accessories network their boards. Here’s a keyboard cradle, HDMI transition and a block that provides wireless mirroring of the screen content. These things must be purchased seperately. The pen works fine around the menus, but it is primarily useful in the many apps Samsung have attached. We come back to them on the next page.
