No..I'm notcomfortable orying. For reading there's nothing wrong with low PPI.
For Note 8" to have 189 ppi is more than enough for reading comfortably.
Kindle Fire is 7" and has even lower resolution 1024 x 600 and PPI that is 170.
And iPad mini have only 163 PPI yet nobody bemoan about it a bit.

Reading on my nexus 7 with 216ppi is way way more comfortable than on my ipad mini with 163ppi
There is a distinct world of difference when comes to text

This Galaxy Note 8.0 is really like Note II with enlarged screen size (5.5" to 8.0" with same resolution). Really tempting to buy 3G version.

The issue is how Samsung going to price this product which supposedly compete with upcoming new iPad Mini with LTE data support...
*
The current ipad mini already has LTE support . Only is incompatible with local LTE bands. Similar situation as iphone5

ho..ho...lots and lots of people want to sell their N7. Still don't know which one to buy 8.0 or N7?  cry.gif

My main purpose in this over the N7 is the S Pen function

I use it mostly for e-reading. Very good though Nexus7 is a bit better in term of clarity.

Btw..only realise this Note8 don't have notification light doh.gif
*
Note 8 only 189 ppi vs 216 ppi of Nexus7
Naturally text looks sharper n better on N7
But I believe colors on Note8 should display better than N7 ( less contrast n some shades tend wash out)

Anybody can post a picture of this Note 8 inch in the backpocket of your pants?

Googled it but to no avail...much appreciated.
*
Tough to find. The Note width is 136 cm while most pants back pockets nett width is 125 to 130 cm
Even my baggy pants back pockets is only 129 cm wide
Tab 7 width is only 123 cm and can just fit in nicely to most back pockets

And after seeing the latest S4 full HD display, the Note 8 display pales greatly in comparison. It was so obvious comparing these 2

Can ask what's your setting? Just got mine but the battery seems run down very fast. Half day can finish 3/4.

Btw, anybody mine sharing their setting for modding? Thinking of using Nova/Apex Launcher, but afraid Spen and other function won't work due to the TW. Any guide? Thanks!
*
Launcher will not affect S pen and other TW features. Only you cannot have TW based widgets displayed on homescreen only

i got two problem regarding note 8.0

1. smart eyes can't detect your eyes notification keep appearing

2.the device is not charging when plugging the usb to the notebook.
*
Notebook USB power output usually only about 0.5A only. Most of the Android tablets I have used needs at least 1.5A to 2.0A to have it charge. Check your desk charger plug and see what is the Amp required ? It should be above 1.5 to 2.0A

Anyone bought from them before? Are they reputable and is there an option for self collection?

These 2 are trusted sellers. I have done poslaju 5 times with directd and 3 times with satugadjet. In all occasions, is perfect, zero problems
I have been to their shop 3 times each. Satugadget shop is bigger ( at ground floor wisma pgrm) while directd operates from those normal shoplot at SS15. Or visit the shop and deal directly yourself
