The 3G model of Samsung's Galaxy Note 8.0 has made its way to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
The Galaxy Note 8.0 model GT-N5100 was submitted to the FCC between March 8 and 12 and given the FCC ID A3LGTN5100. Recognized as a "Portable Tablet," testing began on Jan. 8 this year at the PCTEST Laboratory in Columbia, MD.
Samsung's introduction of the 8-inch tablet comes as the South Korean-based company is preparing to launch a new promotional campaign against Apple's iPad Mini.
According to SamMobile, a television advertisement will make its way comparing the Galaxy Note 8.0 and the 7.9-inch iPad Mini. The advertisement will showcase the Samsung tablet's multi-window option, reading hub, and screen comparison along with other specifications and processor.
The Galaxy Note 8.0 made its debut at the 2013 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. The new Samsung tablet will feature the S Pen stylus as featured with the Galaxy Note 2.
"S Pen technology is now so advanced that it doesn't even have to touch the screen," noted Samsung. "With Air View, the S Pen needs only to hover over the screen to see previews of videos, emails, photos and appointments on SPlanner without opening the file or application in full."
The Galaxy Note 8.0 features an 8-inch screen with 1,280x800 pixel resolution at 189 pixels per inch, 16GB and 32GB internal storage, 2GB of RAM, a rear-facing 5-megapixel camera with 2,592x1,944 pixels, and a front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera. Android operating system version 4.1.2, and a 4,600mAh battery capacity help round out the tablet.
"The Galaxy Note 8.0 breaths fresh life into the category as it delivers the perfect fusion of portability and everyday productivity - the result is a pioneering, pocket-sized solution that enhances and enriches our everyday lives, whether at work or play," said Samsung Electronics' President of the I.T. and Mobile Communications Division JK Shin.
