I wonder how long does it take for a device to include everything, phone, tablet, camera, wallet… Samsung has quietly announced its Android-based Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet, the burning question is, Will Android-based Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 go toe to toe with the iPad mini??
I haven’t tried the Android devices from Samsung, but looks like the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is the Samsung’s big play in the “phablet” market.

Samsung says Galaxy Note 8.0 is designed to be used as a personal notebook or diary and that it is the perfect size for you to take anywhere.
