Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) - User Reviews

  • i want original glass screen .... i ask all samsung service center product not available

  • mine too, for many years. couldn't find wifi module to buy. luckily mine has LTE which is still working.

  • Does it support JIo SIM???

  • My bluetooth and wifi are not working any more when i select them they just light green then close after seconds please help

  • Somehow after months of comparing iPads I am overcome with getting one of these

  • I have this problem too. It usualy the lcd cable inside the tablet. Search on youtube how to open it. Remove, clean it, and re-plug. In my case it fix the problem.

  • Hey guys, I need some help.Recently got this tablet but it crashes everything from settings to apps, screen freeze and then it restarts itself, while browsing the Internet, browers (Chrome & Samsung default browser) starts flickering black, Help please any one.

  • I used a sanding pen, like this:

  • What did you use to clean the USB port and

  • Mine does this from time to time too. You have to carefully clean the contacts in the USB port.

  • we have this problem too

  • I am experiencing the same problem. I usually keep my tablet switched off while charging. That seems to charge that way.

  • For sometime now, i have observed that anytime i am changing my note the battery indicater shows red instead of black. This is causing a slow charge. After 24hrs the total charge received is just 50%. What is the problem?

  • I can not get network on edge mode unless 3g courage area only

  • How do you get this installed,I go to security to see if there any updates and there are none.

  • Bring it to a shop and see what they tell you. most places won't charge you anything,just to check it out if they do,if it needs to be repair,the charge should be included with with the final bill to fix it.

  • this tanlet lagged a lot with the stock rom. so I installed lineage OS and tweaked some settings with root privilege and it moans like a horse

  • I have to agree - just bought another one 2nd-hand after first one USB port failed. Seems to be its biggest (only) weakness.

  • This tablet is probably the best buy I ever made, back in 2013. 5 years later it's still going strong. Still stands up well to current tablets.

  • Still worth getting mainly for drawing?

  • The tablet is really good, even the battery holds up pretty nicely 4 years later. I use it mainly in the evenings for 1-2 hours and charge it once a week or so. Only downside is that the MicroSD slot seems to be defective on some units and will reject any MicroSD card, immediately or after little use, you'll have to restart the tablet or reinsert the card.

  • thanks for the reply. though I want to inform you that I am an agrassive office user, including Hancom office. Hancom is best office option to use in an android tablet since it has the best and familiar user interface. but it falls short in terms of VBP productivity. even though it has a section for "macros" you still can edit or use any macros. Other than that it is a very cool aplication. In my initial comment I wanted to say that, this magnificient tablet would be a definite PC replacement for me only if I can have macros enabled on the excel-like aplications. I have alternative for autocad, 3d modelling, profssional movie editting that I rely a lot on. I wish the office providers will consider macros in their aprlications soon.

  • It has office..go to galaxy app store and get hancom office free... Handcom word, spreadsheets slides..download all thing hancom there

  • I use mine since its first release. now using it over 4 years and it is still the best Samsung tablet, despite there are newer tablets even with S-pens. You can compare this device with newer release tablets to see that in written specs and features, it still beats them. I use it everyday to watch, surf, edit photos or to edit videos. (Please check VideoPad from NCH Software if you are interested in professional video editing or if you are working at the movie industry.) I used it as a PC replacement for about 2 years in 2015 and 2016. I wish I had full office abilities such as using macros in excel. for me only missing feature of this device is that a missing full feature office software. Powerful, stylish, feature rich, helpful companion.

  • Both tablets have complately different body specs. Charger slots are different. thus your keybord won't fit with the 2014 edition note. Unfortunately, not much keyboard alternatives for 2014 edition that will perfectly fit the tablet to use it as a cover. sorry not much luck. but you may modify some ipad air keyboard covers to fit well.

  • I have an original 10.1 N8000 thats just completely crashed. Looking at buying the 2014 edition. Trouble is I bought a great keyboard that slots the N8000 into (same slot as the charger). does the 2014 have this slot?

  • Well, this amazing tablet has 3 different versions out of factory as follows; SM-P600 is only WiFi , SM-P 601 is Wi-Fi & 3G, SM-P605 is Wi-Fi & LTE. So you might have upgraded it to SM-600 version instead of SM-P601 or SM-P605. First, you must identify which one is yours. Then, upgrade it with respect to your device's version. You can download your version from samsung-firmware.org website and use Odin Tools to flash the correct firmware.

  • I bought this tablet by Mercadolibre and the tablet works well, except for some issues with the battery, when I use Netflix the battery is discharge fast and also it heats up while using some applications in multitasking, the tablet is thin so the heat is annoying. I have used some applications to verify the status of the battery and say it is in good state, I have also noticed that the tablet is slow to load, but I have read comments that say this is normal. Should I change the battery? Or Can be another problem? I want the battery last all day or at least don't heat up when I using Netflix and discharge fast... Some recommendations?

  • I have mine it also works perfectly to this day

  • Ok, that is good. I also think that this is good tablet with pen function, but I'm aware of this problem.

  • i still have mine and still working perfectly

  • There is one for sale, which seller said that randomly reboot. Should I get it and can this problem get solved?

  • The tablet is good. Am looking for replacement for URGENTLY the stolen one.\Where can I get it asap.

  • Any update for this s.note 10.1?

  • This tablet is coool but and I try to install a game ( Gangster town) Makes the game installed.

  • Hi, There is no problem with the screen. I had the same problem and i went to a local service store and they fix a cable inside the device.

  • I upgraded my device to os to 5.1 since then the network is not working anymore unless I use Wi-Fi to browse any help

  • Try to fix the problem with clean the surface of a lcd cable...reconnect the cable and then cinnect again...its work for my note

  • In Macedonia Greece?there is plenty of shops selling Samsung parts in Athens.

  • Can i order new display for my new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition Model: SM -P600 It felt and now it's black screen but still working, i can hear messages so it's the display. Please tell me where to buy new one, i live in Macedonia, Skopje and can't buy it here. Thanks in advance

  • Yes

  • No

  • is there any update coming for Samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition

  • You don't have to change the whole motherboard. You only change the sim&microsd flex cable and you should be fine. It costs aprox. 20 Dollars.

  • P601 or 3G version is not displayed correctly. Chipset : Exynos Octa 5420 (same as Galaxy Note 3) GPU : Mali-T628 MP6

  • it's so annoying that I woke up one morning it stopped detecting my sim card only for me to and find out that I have to change the entire board and you know that's not cheap. I hate it.

  • I m in jaipur india and I purchased p601 through ebay and it was supplied by hongkong seller. Today when i charged first time the charger got heated and it didn't charge more than 30% in an hour whereas it says to be fast charger. I plugged the charger as provided into the socket.was it improper, can anybody guide me.

  • Done!!!! Thanks!!!! My tablet is up and running again. #sincerelygrateful

  • Just see this link video for backlight fix.........https://youtu.be/jZvEFqYd1Vk

  • My sm-p601 just started malfunctioning. When I switch on my device,after coming on the screen backlight will go off while the device is still on.no matter what I press,it won't come even if I put a call through to it,the screen backlight won't come whereas the tablet is not off. I have formatted it,to no avail.the formatting didn't fix the back light issue.right now,my sm-p601 is switched on,but i can't use it.the backlight only comes on when I rebooth the device.plz help,what do I do.I still love my sm-p601. Thank u.

  • I totally agree with Yuraqua, this device is awesome. I hope if Samsung still produce Note 10.4 series

  • Got an update on my device size 365.25, added adapt display in toggle and squashed bugs, its even smoother now

  • I have this device for more than 3 years now. It still works fine, but battery charging takes more time, and battery lasts less. Overall I'm extremely satisfied with the device. More credit to it due to fact that it lasts for 1,5 years now in the hands of my 4 y.o. son.

  • Pls can you give me a step by step instruction on how you went about your update? Mine is p605

  • It's not supposed to

  • SM-P601 is not an LTE device.

  • My Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 2014 Edition SM p601 needs WIFI IC replaced after 3 years od=f operation.Please kindly tell me where i CAN BUY ONE wifi ic FOR MY tABLET.tHANKS

  • Hey, Does Samsung note 2014 P601 support LTE band? I have one and working only on 3G

  • Is it just me or everyone else got December security patch.(I got mine since February) My device is sm-p601

  • Hey, Does Samsung note 2014 LTE (P605) support LTE band in T Mobile in USA? I have one and working only on 3G

  • Thank you it's helpful

  • Hold down Power button + home button together

  • Use the screen write function from air command or look for palm motion in setting > controls

  • Please how can screenshot with my galaxy note? ???

  • Im having wifi issue have to be close to my router to be connected and if aways it goes off....need help

  • Why did they not include photoshop touch in this model as it was useful and in demand aps for Notes..??

  • it can be used as regular phone. Very loud and clear

  • Yes, I use this tablet as a phone with ATT. Only certain models are capable of this. I have the SM-P601 32 gb 3G model.

  • Hello does this tablet have a magnetometer?

  • I'm not sure if you can use it like a traditional phone, but you can use an app that does VoIP. If you live in the USA, Google Voice via the Hangouts app is fully functioning for making and receiving phone calls for free to/from US numbers. Rates to international numbers are reasonable, but probably not if you are living outside the US since your inbound number would be US based.

  • I will like to use this tablet like a phone is there a possibility?

  • Com.sec.android.app.FrashBarservice has stopped 2. RCPComponent has stopped 3. S finder has stopped. These are the problems I'm having after 5.1.1 UPDATE. WHAT SHOULD I DO PLEASE!

  • Thanks. So I have finally an Original Galaxy Charger that came with the wireless charger and it charged pretty faster than the others.

  • Mine is P601 model, my cousin has the p605 one and didn't face this issue. Its a software related problem. You can just buy any Nokia or Sony mico-usb cable to resolve this issue, just look at the micro-usb end and see if it has 5 metal pins or not.

  • Are they still rolling out Lollipop to all regions? Any estimate when Indonesia (XSE) will get the update? I like this device, but I just can't bear the lag and stutter on all apps. Heck even Galaxy Note 8 was better.

  • Where do you buy this 5 pin cable and whats the difference between this one and the normal micro USB Samsung cable? I have old Note 10.1 (2014 Edition - 3G) and it doesn't have this problem. I bought one from China (Wifi version P600) and it takes forever to charge and it drains battery in standby like 70% over night only. Crappy samsung

  • If you have problem with charging time use a 5-PIN cable. I had this problem with galaxy S3 few years ago, suddenly stock cable took so many hours to charge the phone so I replaced it with a Nokia cable that had 5-Pin at the micro-usb end which connects to the phone/tablet. After 4.4 update of this tablet I faced this problem too so I bought a Nokia cable which had 5-Pins and it solved completely. You can installs some apps to show you he charging ampere, it should be between 1000-1400 mA It takes me 4-4.5 h to completely charge the tablet on android 5.1

  • When you make use of a good charger is is not more then 4 hours of charging.

  • True it takes ages to charge!

  • People who have problem with charging... I had it too but I have make the kabel of the charger short.. and it chargesfull

  • mine takes forever to charge. the charger that came with it doesnt seem to fit properly. so its annoying waiting for it to charge.

  • 4g simple worked this tab

  • I have put a new charger port and brand new battery's in my device and it's taking 15 hours on charge and still isn't complete.any ideas why .

  • This product is not accessing wi-fi except when closer the equipment. What is the problem and i do one solve it.

  • Use EZCast device...

  • Hey, easiest way and official way to do the update to 5.1.1 is by connecting your tablet to pc. Download Samsung switch for Windows, and it will detect your connected tablet needs and update, just easy to follow from there. It will download and install, no interference needed. If you had rooted your tablet then make sure u save your stuff and then reset it to factory defaults and try the Samsung switch update. I'm getting so much more out of this junk after the update, feels like new tablet fast n good battery life, no warming up.

  • This a the greatest tablet, 2years now i have had the P605 LTE , still amazing, and after updating with odin 8 months ago, i still have no lag, its too fast and the ram management is superb, when i first got to it was lagging a lot, plus screen freezing on me forcing me to restart everytime, i was gonna throw it away, it happens it was all samsungs fault.. This 5.1.1 lollipop is the best update i ever got from my years of using samsung devices, usually their updates makes it worse, but this one here is a massive massive massive improvement, you better not hesitate to update, if you have not gotten the update yet, go to sammobile.com, click on firmware, type your model number, download latest firmware from any country there that has it and update with odin by carefully following the instructions in the download page of the firmware

  • Still I didn't get my lollipop update I bought in Qatar which one I need to download

  • do it manually, go to sammobile.com/firmwares search either p605 or p600 or 601 depending on which modep you are using and download the firmware, the one for south east europe has no extra bloatware than what samsung initially put, even the one from nordic countries will work, just download and follow instructions on download place to install, you can back up on samsung switch on pc but u wont even need to back up with odin, everything that was there will still be there as long as u follow the instructions to upgrade

  • I think, p601 only provide 3G network.

  • HELLO .do have model (p601) LTE (4G)?

  • hello guys, i have a p601 note 10.1 2014 edition. The problem is that, it's not reading my 16gig sd card. Is there anyone with a solution to that, thanks

  • Just check sammobile site, firmware 5.11 is still not available in Malaysia, can someone help. Can I download Singapore version

  • Hey go to samsung website (sammobile.com), click on firmware in navigation and download the south east europe lollipop 5.1.1 firmware, use odin to update, follow the instructions carefully (see instructions on how to upgrade your download page). Its extremely smooth, the performance blows

  • Don't update the android system.... my old GT-N8000 go extremely low, some apps cannot work now.... :( but I don't know what happen to 2014 edition

  • Hi, I'm also from South Africa and annoyed at the lack of an update. When I try flash a new ROM, all I get is normal Android and not Touchwiz, so the SPen features don't work? How have you gotten yours to work nicely, or do you just live without it?

  • I have this tablet for 2 years and all I can say: it's awesome. Never crashed or anything. Battery is great too like 15-20 hours of screen. Camera really nice. 10/10

  • Go to sammobile and uodate it manually using odin software, type the model number of your device (example sm-p605) under firmware section in sammobile.com ..note the instructions needed for installation before you go ahead, download the firmware from south east europe or nordic countries... less bloatware with those ones.. Its really easy

  • Hi, Can someone help me with up date for my sm-p605, current ver. 4.4.2. From Malaysia. TQVM

  • thanks for the response,i live in Nigeria,would love if i can get help

  • Where do you live, have you checked sammobile to see if its available?

  • I have the SM-P605 and I live in Australia. Its still 4.4.2. I was wondering if any body new when the 5.1.1 update will be available in Australia. New Zealand already has 5.1.1 update, dont know why they got it first :/

  • I have the SM-P605 and i live in Australia, it is still 4.4.2. Does anyone know when the update 5.1.1 is coming to Australia, New Zealand already has 5.1.1 ffs. Its getting frustrating lol

  • please,i can't get update for my p605 model.need help

  • I agree with you.

  • I have this device since then.i use it a lot at work, for emails and for reading engineering drawings and all types of documents..the recent lollipop upgrade is convenient. This note concept is a big competitor, and it makes samsung the leader of phones and tablets market, I'm wondering why they are not producing a newer more advanced version.

  • Right from the start I have problems as it the charging time is very long but the local support office find it acceptable. When it really failed to boot up. I paid the service charge plus GST even though the youngsters working there advise against it. The unit did not break down and can perform normally. It seems their staff did not have confidence in this product!

  • im hoping we get marshmallow as all phones and tablets from 2014 will be getting it.

  • reset my note 2014 tablet and nomore high ram usage. ram is less now. so happy with it on 5.1.1.

  • wow, just got the lollipop update for the wifi version... Shocking to know that a 2+ years old device is still being cared for :D

  • Ram usage was higher. But i did a reset and ram usage is lower now. So im happy i did reset. This tablet is great running 5.1.1 now. No lags. Smoother.

  • I bought note 2014 edition p601 a week ago , i checked for update there isnt so i downloaded lollipop from sammobile.com and baaaam its working without any problems , with lollipop you will notice the difference in performance

  • @Anonymous. You didn't have to custom rom though. The Spen works perfectly only on Android stock. You couldve just downloaded a different country's update. I downloaded the British and Russian and I am South African.

  • Check here to get the official Samsung 5.1.1 update. Works like a charm. Install via ODIN. Good luck, tablet works like a charm. Still going strong :-)

  • This tablet deserves marshmellow with a major upgrade including some of note 5 features..it was treated piss poorly since it came out..samsung has really given this tab extremely poor update support and still the performance is excellent..Damn sad.. This was a feature device..that gracious display still has to be beaten til date

  • If you want this device at its peak performance, I highly recommend flashing TWRP and installing CM 13. I have this device, it had screen stuttering, laggy performance and its got hot. Never received OTA for lollipop(South Africa). So I rooted and formatted it, installed CM mod and it runs like a dream, no lags, battery life is excellent. There is not a day I look back and think i shouldn't have done this. If you want to install CM mod. First Root, then get TWRP and flash it. Then download the rom as well as Gapps. Flash and format the device and you're golden. I use the device as a portable PC in class. Simply devine

  • why i cant upgrade to 5.1.1 (Lollipop)????

  • Thats a mystery? My model is pm600 2014 edition and running 5.1.1. You should have received that update by now. Keep checking OTA for updates.

  • my mobile data is not working.......what can i do?

  • U mean it uses way less ram... Update it using odin

  • just remove back cover (preferably with a plastic card) then re-attach the loose ribbon and your good to go

  • Yeah. With the price of this tablet i would have like 32g internal memory. Ive only 5gb left with hardly any apps in it. System apps take up a lot of space. I wonder why we dint get smart manager app with update like i did in note 3 and note edge?

  • I really do hope so. Only time will tell since we just got lollipop. I didn't enjoy my tablet with mandatory internal storage installations (never seen any 32/64gb version in my country).

  • Also all apps are working fine. And open quicker on 5.1.1.

  • I updated to 5.1.1 and everthing is running smooth. No lags. Before on kk i had lagging with keyboard and freezing. But now with update its going great. So i would would say update. Hope this helps.

  • Hello everyone! Have the option to update to Lollipop, but would you guys recommend it? Heard rumors will it mess with my Snote and other apps :(

  • Hello everyone! Have the option to update to Lollipop, but would you guys recommend it? Heard rumors will it mess with my Snote and other apps :(

  • Hi m86k. Your welcome. So do you think we will get marshmallow on our2014 edition? It would be great if we did:)

  • Thank you blondi1 for your answer. It's a real pain to be stuck with that low internal storage for managing apps even if we can insert a 128gb microsd. I won't update it to lollipop and will wait for a real official end of support (Samsung support told me they don't know for now about Marshmallow for this tablet).

  • No. Still the same with sd card. I hve to move videos and music through files manager. Evrything gets saved o internal memory.

  • Hi everyone, did Samsung modify this lollipop update to have the defaut storage settable to microsd / mergeable with microsd (like on Marshmallow) or is it just a normal lollipop system with no such options ? Thanks for your answers

  • Your flash must format in FAT32 file system

  • Had to change the board of my SMP 601 in January. Working fine but still on 4.3, no upgrade yet.

Note tablet is running well. But its using more ram than before. But i was told by samsung high ram is good as it opens apps quicker. I didnt know that.

  • Today I received the lollipop update....:-) Hurrayyyy!!

  • Today I received the lollipop update....:-) Hurrayyyy!!

  • Blondi: Had OTA update Android 5.1.1 for P600 on January 26. I also live in the UK, so you should be able to download it now.

  • I have this tablet from my husband or 2014 valentine day present. Till today, i still cannot find another tablet to replace this. Samsung has the tabs but then again, i still prefer the note. so far so good, battery life is still good, no problems. For the price at that time, i consider this is a very good tablet. Hopefully Samsung will produce the upgraded (if any) for this tablet.

  • So far, I'm still loving this tablet. Mine is a P605 model. I purchased this last January 2014. Up to now, I still could not find another tablet that could replaced this. I hope Samsung will come up with a latest model of this kind. I still want the Galaxy Note tablet series of this size. The S Pen on this tablet really makes a lot of difference. This tablet has been my total entertainment gadget for almost 2 years now. It replaced my laptop and TV to do some works and gets entertained. It has served me for 2 years already. If Samsung will not come up with a tablet much better than this one, it will stay with for quite some time.

  • Mine is pm600 and ive checked OTA and still no update. Its still on kk. Can i get it through kies Anonymous? I live in uk

  • update your note 10.1 2014 with pdin.go to samamfirmwares flash it with south east europe or any software u see there on 5.1.1 easy.. less bugs and crashes than ota and it is very simple just click on the firmware and follow the instructions below

  • I love mine to. But kk not good in it as its starting to lag The Kingsman. Like i said in my last comment it happens when typing on keyboard. So i hope i get lollipop soon.

  • My note 2014 edition is still on kk. When typing its so laggy. If i got lollipop update it might fix that. Hope i get it soon:(

  • Hi The Kimgsman. Can i update it through kies or should i just keep checking OTA? i would love my note tablet running 5.0.

  • Hi. It could be a bit late coming to my note tablet as i live in uk. Ive checked everyday and no updates. Is yours pm600 The Kingsman?.

  • By the way. I just love my SGN 10.1(2014)

  • Hi Blondi, I received my tablet update to Android 5.1.1 on January 4. Could it be that it hasn't reached your part of the world yet? I'm in the western part of the USA.

  • I still havent reveived update for my pm600 2014 edition tablet. I was told i would gt 5.0 update soon. But no update has come .

  • My note 2014 edition tablet is pm600. I havent received 5.0 update yet. I keep checking OTA, But says lastest updates have been installed. I was on sam live chat and my model is down to get 5.0. But they say it can take time to get to everyone.

  • Dear Samsung,I have a small problem in my tab note10,1 eddition2014, it suddenly stops and restarts by itself it happens every five minutes without me touching anything at all,knowing that I am delighted with it,it is great.

  • Not rooted yet...

  • I have found the solution, u dont need to long press the spen anymore to bring it up, click on it like a mouse once and it will come up. :)

  • I UPDATED MY TABLET USING ODIN, its smooth AF but the air command menu does not appear when i press the spen button, please help me

  • Is your tablet rooted ?

  • Please help me. My P.601 is still in android 4.4.2. No up date available through tablet directly. I want my P.601 is in Lollipop. Thanks.

  • how to up date...? My P.601 is still in Android 4.4.2. I already tried to up date through tablet directly is not available.

  • Ive p600 note tablet and i havent received lollipop upate in uk yet. Ive just checked OTA and it says latest updates installed Wonder when i will get lollipop update?

  • I have the SM-P601 3G edition for Indonesia. Still on 4.3 Anybody knows when there will be an official update on our end?

  • The difference refers to the carrier. P600 is wi-fi only, while the others are from different cellular providers. You can search a specific model number to find the provider.

  • Is singapore come out loilipop for note 10.1 2014.

  • this is REALLY helpful for college students like me. unfortunately my lcd got broken after a bad fall (my fault really) and i too am too broke to fix it.

  • What's the difference between P600, P601 and P605? Thanks

  • Go to samfirmware and download the official update. flash it with odin or read the instruction. it wont trigger the knox since it is an official firmware even with different region. Done that and enjoying the update 5.1.1. You may flash the right region for your device when it is available.

  • Finn..how did u update p605 to lollipop? Mine is still working on kitkat for quite some time now and i really need a change in my software....pls help me buddy

  • P600 gets lollipop OTA or with samsung keys. Its already out got it a few days ago.

  • Received mine OTA; update went smoothly. I concur this looks loike a totally new tablet now. Runs well, so check for updates manually. It would be great if we receive marshmallow, since the battery life on my nexus 6 improved dramatically after updating to marshmallow.

  • How to get upgrade for P 600?

  • My Galaxy note 10.1 2014 edit (P601) is still can get up dated yet. and It's can not used to facebook messenger voice massage. how to fixed?

  • Downloaded 5.1.1 for Note 10.1 2014 edition. Looks like a brand new tablet now. I hope this is not the last update.

  • My tab downloaded it automatically as I already had enabled auto download option...I just installed it. :) Alternatively if you know how to flash it, you can download firmware from tsar3000 dot com !!!! Enjoy

  • How did you updated? and from where you bouted ?

  • My note 10.1 2014 got the lollipop 5.1.1 update day before yesterday. After updating the tab is much faster smoother than before. It feels like it breathed new life into it. This is probably the last update we get. I don't understand why there was no note 10.1 2015 or 2016. I guess sales weren't that great. I really hope that they release marshmallow too buy mid of next year unless they launch 10.1 2016 or 2017.

  • please buddy tell me how u upgraded it...i am not having any software upgrade option

  • can anybody explain to me how to update it to 5.1.1 ...model is p605

  • Upgraded my P601 to 5.1.1 couple of days ago....everything is running smooth till now.... :)

  • no hope buddy

  • I just went into settings , about phone and checked for software updates. Just Just keep checking it everyday qurassn.

  • Is this better than the Tab S2 as the Spec seems to be pretty much the same and this has S-Pen. Why did Samsung stop this model though. I dont seem to find it anywhere in the market in India (including online). Is there a problem with this model that the Tab S2 improvised on.. Thanks

  • P 615 upgrade lollipop advice

  • How can I upgrade my p601 to kitkat. It's currently android 4.3

  • really?? you have lollipop on p601??

  • My SM-P605 (Nordic, NEE) has just upgraded itself to 5.1.1 Lollipop. The tablet became faster and the power consumption seems a little lower. P605XXU1EO15 Sat Sep 19 14:10:48 2015

  • any hope for sm-p601 ?

  • I got the tablet a couple days ago and i am running Lollipop 5.1.1 and everything is running smooth with no problem and the battery last the whole day and i play Hearthstone and Vainglory the whole day.

  • Go to playstore and see if your apps need updated.

  • it is a good tablet , but after Android update to 4.4.2 some apps , dosen't load like YOU TUBE or PINTEREST . Anybody have a solution ?

  • Go to settings > about phone> check for updates. Thats what i had to do. Hope this helps.

  • 2014 edition. On kk. Running smooth. No lags. When i was on jb the battery drained very quick. It was using more ram. Since updating to kk battery lasts longer. Less ram usage. And it has amazing screen.

  • Is model pm600 getting 5.0 update?

  • Are you sure? Cos i have waited and waited ,checked and checked,i didn't find any update relating to lollipop. Am still stucked at 4.4.2.#sad#regretful#samsung

  • My SM-P607T has just upgraded itself to 5.1.1 Lolipop. Long overdue, but thanks anyway, Samsung

  • my phone be black screen but the device is operator is that need go to garranty office or i can fit at home?????? plz reply my

  • Any upgrade to 4.4.2? :(

  • i kept the note charging n went to some work..after half hr when i came back the note was dead.gave to samsung service centre they said mother board dead n cant do anything...can i get any help like how to get new mother board .

  • Terrible battery performance!!

  • Sorry meant at bottom. See were the charging port is. If you look beside it theres a tiny pin hole. Use a small needle or pin and just put it in. That will turn your tablet on.

  • There a really tiny pin hole at top of screen. Just use a small pin and put it in and it will come on. I had to do that couple of times. Its there for just incase tablet freezes or wont come on.

  • Worked really well until Samsung corrupted the OS with a firmware that caused internet drop outs and Apps to lockup. Got messed around with the service centre to boot. Now is is just a great suppository so thats where Samsung can jam it now!.

  • I dont thing this tablet will get lollipop update. Its not fair as this was just expensive as note 3 when it came out. But 16gb internal memory is what im angry a mst of built in apps take up most of internal memory which leaves me 5gb left. I think i bought this 8 months ago and im hardly on it. Waste if money. But its a nice tablet. Think i will sell.

  • he is a great tablet

  • Definitely we're all stuck to Android 4.4.2, an expensive device not to have even Stagefright flaw update! I need the pen, but need the security and updating too. I don't even say sorry, just "shame on Samsung and this was a very bad joke!". Before the end of the year, I'm back to Windows with pen for professional use and flash another rom on the Note just for kicks. No Lollipop with new TouchWiz, no more Samsungizz.

  • tab s for its design and super amoled display !!

  • I had faced a similar issue last Dec. It was dead after the charge went to 0% (I think so). and then never came back. Power button didnt work home didnt work. I kept it for 3 months (as it was out of warranty and repair would cost me a new tablet), I just tried my luck and plugged to charge, surprised it worked. Here are some observation, you should always use the charger supplied with the device along with charging cable supplied(the charging current seems to be very high), second I have never let the charge go to rock bottom. Now this device is just for watching youtube videos and FB. Apart from that there is no useful purpose I do with this device for which it works fine.

  • Which is the best tab s or note 10.10.1 edition

  • The device is pretty good, have been using it for a very long time - nearly two years now. It is true that it never recieved any updates after kit kat. But then again it is samsung - getting 1 update is rare let alone 2nd. The company it self has to be blamed as they are extremely focussed on new devices and do not think of the old ones. I have heard lollipop is in works but i dont think it will reach the users any time soon. I hope samsung atleast launches the next note 10.1 as this one will go obsolete soon even though it has a octacore processor.

  • Do not buy this device if you want access to systems that are beyond 4.4.2. Samsung did not upgrade this device except for once in its 2-year lifetime. It's a decent tablet otherwise, but if you want to be supported by your manufacturer long after you purchase a device, do NOT look to Samsung. Buy a Google Nexus device. That's probably the type of my next purchase.

  • It will probably never never receive any software whatsoever. I own one since September 2014, and Samsung doesn't look like it will support any device other their current flagship models. My brother's Tab S is also stuck with KitKat, and has no Lollipop upgrade on the way.

  • my Note 10.1 2014 edition just could not come on after I had put off 2hrs later having used it for presentation. could some help me understand what could be the issue? I keep pressing the power on button but its refused to come on.

  • It has.

  • Why haven't I received an update to kit kat?

  • My action memo is not working since long time I am not sure if it stopped working after kit kat upgrade or some other reason. If anyone has faced this issue and got resolution please help.

  • oes anybody know if the Samsung Note 10.1, LTE has phone capabilitys with the sim card?

  • Does any one know if there is a replacement to the 10.1 note 2014 Coming this year?

  • Quite a few have reported this issue. Iam using a P600 for almost 2 years now and I haven't experienced any battery issues so far. Assuming nothing is wrong with the tablet, my guess would be irregular charging. batteries in general (including Lithium Ion) have a charge/discharge cycle which when broken too many times can cause inconsistency in the device's measurement of the battery capacity and % charge left. Try the following to confirm this, 1. Use a heavy app like a game or something. If you notice the power percentage drop drastically, like 10% to 20% or more in an instant, then that pretty much means what i just said. 2. If you do detect a drastic drop in the battery %, note down the battery % then turn off your device, wait few seconds and then switch it back on. If you see a different battery % (higher most of the case), then that confirms what i just said. The fix would be battery calibration and a device hard/soft reset, which is simple to do (google it). Now, if this is not the case, then i'd recommend you get it checked and ignore the whole thing above :).

  • my note is working nicely without any lacs but the only issue is its battery it only last for 15 h wether i use it or not i have hibirinate all the apps and never use internet it drain even i put it in to off what to do

  • this is still samsungs most powerful tablet, p605, never overheats during so much download, it takes anything you throw at it in a heartbeat..samsung still needs to optimize the touchwiz as sometimes the software can start fluctuating after days/weeks of never shutting down, which forces me to restart by holding the power button. dont have this problem on my g4

  • and price

  • If im only watching videos or movies and internet the battery in mine lasts about 4 days which is good.

  • Mahesh, why are you replying to this post of mine when the previous one is addressed to you? lol.... Anyways, i was merely pointing out the differences that i know of, between 2 samsung devices that kamalcharza was interested in. i dont see what obsession has to do with it. If you're trying mock me, kindly do it right :). Oh and one more thing, you mentioned about your loyalty shifting everyday to every month or year. Only fanboys show loyalty towards a brand and irrelevant of the brand itself, a fanboy is a fanboy and you my friend is one. I truly doubt you'll be able to appreciate technology for what it truly is and not what its hyped up to be... Good day to you too!

  • how you get updates

  • I think mr kartiksen you are too much "obsessed" with dumb gadget, and most of the time switch to personal rather than talking about gadget. Every body has his/her free opinion I can criticise and talk about my opinion, when I do so I am not pointing finger on Kartick or any other member here. I am not an apple fan nor Samsung fan. I switch my loyalty based on what is best in technology world today. It may be shifting everyday every week every month or year. In technology world nothing is permanent. I don't care if ipad is worst device or note is best. They both will soon be outdated and superseded by better devices tomorrow. Have a good day!

  • I bought this tablet last year. Before kitkat update it seem the battery drained quicker on jellybean. Now since updating to kitkat battery last longer. Everything else i love about this tablet. Looks like bigger note 3 lol. But its a beautiful tablet. Display is great. Nice and slim. But for the price i would have expected 32gb instead of just 16gb. Most of built in apps use up internal memory. Im left with 5.8gb which really is not enough. But apart from that its a nice tablet. Wish we get lollipop update for it.

  • hmmm.... not sure why its a tough call for you mate... but let me narrow it down a bit, if it helps... 1. Main difference here is the s pen in terms of functionally. Obviously i haven't used a tab s, so can only assume it has the standard extra features which comes with it like. like the lollipop update and the fingerprint sensor. thats all i was able to identify from the specs... 2. In terms of battery, i can guess that the rating are accurate since LCD consumes more power then AMOLED, in which case tab s will have better battery life. everything else is the same mate, i mean specs wise its identical i guess. so if you desire functionally, i guess the note is a better choice. But you have to decide that, not me. i mean for some things like the weight of the device matters, but not for me. So try them both out at a store and see which suits you better.... cheers

  • I can't decide which one to choose.. Tab s 10.5 or note 10.1 2014 edition. I seek function.. Which one can do better job and performance? Which one have smaller "lag risk"? Which one can do more? I don't really care about camera. Please help me.

  • I read it was getting lollipop update. But i just got update to kikat. In kitkat the battery lasts longer and ram is not used up alot. When i was on jellybean battery drained very quick. Nice tablet. More responsive since update.

  • Stop bashing yourselves mate.you have to options,its either you buy this device or you don't.if u bought,u have 2 options its either u like it and keep using it to a point b4 selling or giving it out or u discovered u don't like it and u sell it immediately after u bought it. So,u either have it due to d fact dat u liked it and its good enuf for u,or u don't have it due to d fact dat u can't afford it or u don't like it enuf to actually buy.

  • If apple build with the user in mind why his the iPad in a portrait style? Every tablet user I've seen uses their tablet mostly in landscape thus why most Android tablets are in a landscape design. Apple doesn't think about the user anymore. They lost their touch after jobs died and thus they are losing to Android for their ignorance.

  • Due to nobody's fault (Mahesh123), it has become more of an ipad vs note debate rather then just stick to talking about the note. For those of you who have considered gsmarena's reviews to be good, kindly go through the ipad air vs note 10.1 2014 post here (scroll down a little, and it should be there below the note 10.1 2014 review). Instead of reading through wanna be reviewer's biased comments(no disrespect to those who posted honest and unbiased opinions), read through that and you might get a sense of which is best suited for you. Cheers

  • LMAO, iam getting really tired of asking you this question... but seriously, how dumb can you get??? Everybody, know this.... no device, no OS is virus free!!! The simple fact is that viruses are codes created to target a specific OS. Generally the target OS will be one of the most used in the world. Because, higher the number of users, higher the number of devices being infcted. When Mac was released, it was brand new, so offcourse i cannot be infected since no virus existed for it. But they do now :D. Same goes for ios hehe :D. Finally, Mahesh123, I cannot stop laughing at your comment coz of your notion that viruses can be transferred between android and ios.... viruses are OS specific mate, not sure what kind of a programmer you were without even knowing that.... oh well, i had a good laugh P.S. The dude was talking about OTG, you know, On The Go feature of plugging in a flash drive to your smartphone and it recognizing the drive. Man, my stomach hurts :D

  • apple avoids & limits connectivity to other devices , strategy is to avoid viruses, system corruption , hangs. One of the reason iOS is more stable.

  • very good but there is no lolipop upgrade,please bring us lolipop upgrade

  • I have the original Note 10.1. How does this upgrade compare to the original? (which i am very happy with except for how the screen cracks when your kid drops it on tiles and the $300 Samsung are charging to fix it) PS I also have original ipad and ipad air. WhileIi can appreciate the quality of the IOS product, I still prefer Android for the simple reason that I can do anything I want with my Android devices and IOS is so limiting. OTG being the most obvious example! So to those who say once you try IOS you'll never want to back to Android, that's absolutely untrue. When Apple make OTG standard for their devices is when I MIGHT consider changing over.

  • No lollipop update

  • there you go! I like the way you mentioned to the point. I will add few more with my 17 Months usage experience. Pros: -Screen resolution is 2560 x 1600 pixels which is excellent, and brightness is adequate for daylight usage - this is lightweight - Multi window operation Cons: - Pen is too difficult to use practically. touch buttons at bottom are big hindrance - Non Customizable scratch pad - Battery is pathetic, discharges in couple of hours. Charge time >> Drain time. - Need high current charger, cant be charged using small chargers - Other issues are mostly related to Android OS.

  • 1yr owner here. Pros: Love the pen esp when youre tired of tapping. Great display, responds well to touch. camera is awesome. Word & excel files can be edited, but is not that user friendly (for me). pdf files can easily be opened. Cons: tab is heavy, but this is a 10.1 tab so expect it. bloatware galore. But this is the thing that turns me off the most: 12hrs charging time for a full charge = 5hrs of playing games like coc. Do the math. U decide.

  • Neven agree with people who just talk laymen language just present general views, Never speak about technical Merits. They will have the words like very good, excellent performance, No lag. Talk about Battery-drain & charging time, User Interface, Pen usage, camera. If you have used other tablets how's side by side comparison. Practical problems of the device. If you have not touched any other gadget then story is different. Dont impose conclusions let Buyer's decide, based on merit and demerits.

  • Does anyone know if there is going to be Samsung note 10.1 2015 launched

  • Stop bothering yourself friends, I have being using this device since Dec 2013 and I have never encountered any form of issue(s) or lag(s).so its either some users are being bias ,dumb, stupid,ignorant,or just crazy.probably they r paid to bash other products and antagonize other people. IMHO,leave such loosers and mentally unstable self deluded people alone.let them keep fooling themselves in the name of commenting on products they don't even have.#peace#oneluv

  • when I talk about devices I dont intend People using it or those who intend to buy it. Just lifeless feelingless Piece of hardware/software, ok! understand my intent is not to hurt people, But make Buyers aware what are pros & Cons. I am not an advocate of apple products but after using so many devices I feel that apple products are built keeping in mind how users are intending to use a device. I gave the example of camera since I practically experienced it. Taking a picture using note : Perfect in daylight, clicked in low light inside the room.got Non acceptable performance But some Settings enabled to get the right pic. Next time I click using Note I need to remember what settings got me the pic. Believe me apple device dont have any settings but you get perfect Pic you go in any light. and same performance every time. Second example attach Pic with mail. Ios will ask you small/medium/large and pic size will be adjusted ,I dont need any compression. I am not talking of a feature but about how os understands the behaviour & usage. I am not saying note is useless junk but will say it didn't catch the intent of usage. Why one would buy note?, I think pen is the USP. But when you start using pen the touch Keys hinder it. So the unique feature is already killed. I cant imagine how stupid was that design. Second if pen is the USP, the scratchpad (or notes) should be customisable A4, A3..... user sizes. But you get only one format. Honestly I brought Note so that I can avoid keeping a Notepad during my testing & debugging in lab/meetings. But unfortunately using note was practically impossible, strugling every time to find a setting to accomodate my requirement. Finally gave up. My Note is just for entertainment , check mails . So if that was the only purpose I Brought this device for ,then ipad does the job much better. I have already spoken about Battery issue. Now my action memo doesn't work. oTG doesn't work. why this device is so unreliable. you & others may debate with me to any extent but a Note is not a Note for me unless I can take notes on it.

  • crappy? like i said before, note is wasted on you. you call the spen not usable and practical. Seriously, how hypocritical can you be? And finally, "Ratings doesnt matter"???? if you cant understand the concept of the rating system and its purpose, then i really really regret having wasted my time here on you. Am out buddy, you're too lost for me to save, lol. TC :D

  • Guess its not over. Very good mahesh, that is an honest and very reasonable opinion. since you didn't get it the first time, let me point it out in as simple words as possible. when two devices are compared head to head, you compare the hardware and performance. the second you starting talking about android vs ios or their user interfaces, it becomes a matter of preference and opinion. You prefer ios, i prefer android and the reasons for our preferences need no justification. However, just because you prefer ios and ipad, you have no right to call android or this device crap or junk. You say you are no expert, but even an expert wont call a device carp or junk. But you did, hence this whole pointless debate. You say you dont want to go into ISO settings (etc) when taking a picture, i say i do to, but also would like to have the manual settings option as a feature as well, which i use frequently. Am i wrong or are you wrong? neither of us is wrong, since its our individual preference. Finally, speaking of etiquette, in your previous comments, apart for calling this device to be junk again and again, you also mentioned that people who buy this device would be wasting their money. You said it twice, and that my friend is an insult to all those who have bought or rated or reviewed this product. Thats the start of it all. still think you have the right to use the word "etiquette"?

  • Ratings doesnt matter. what really matters is how easy and helpful my gadget is. In that sense Note is most crappy device I have used. I am not an iPad fan, but somehow using iPad seems to be much easier than Note. Given a choice Note , iPad and Surface at same price, I would surely pick Surface. I want tablet with a pen but should be practical to use.

  • This is response to all the those who didnt like someone talking about negatives of galaxy Note 10.1. First of all there should be some etiquette of commenting in a forum. We are not here to talk a slum language. we are talking about gadgets, so please be respectful. Coming to IOS vs Android, or iPad vs Note. 'Note', may be much better in terms of hardware tech specs, but coming to software and user interface iPad is much better. User experience is what matters. Second, am I a programmer/coder, it doesnt matter, I am here to use my device for assisting me not for wasting my time figuring out deep embedded fancy feature. You may say, I am dumb, I am fine with that. I 100% agree I am not the most intelligent creature on earth. If I am taking a picture my intent is to get the best one, I dont want to goto ISO, brightness, Contrast ,day/night etc settings. Pen is a nice feature in Note but is it usable I doubt. if you ask my preferred list of devices(tablets) It would be Surface,iPad and then Note.

  • lol, i think that put a stop to it :D

  • First of all why would you even want to compare a stupid unusable pricey device like apple to and android .. You clearly don't know the difference LOL. the reason people get virus in an android phone is the same reason a person would get a virus on a laptop, its if your either stupid or someone is after you data to hack you . so please the capabilities of an android user to that of an apple user is like comparing NEO from the matrix(for android) who can do whatever he wants with his coding ,etc.. to that of a regular person who just wants to game or watch videos and will pay any price a market will say for just plain quality of screen resolution but has no bloody worth .. your TOO DUMB TOO UNDERSTAND WHY ANDROID IS BETTER THAN APPLE IOS .

  • I believe GadgetFan is saying that its stupid to tell someone to buy something else since you didn't like this one. But lets ignore that amd keep saying it shall we.....

  • lol, then why are the ipads rated so low compared to this device? i've asked you this so many times, still no answer... and dont say the ratings are made up by samsung or silly stuff like that since iam pretty sure there are more ipad users (taking many ipad versions into account) then the users for this device alone...

  • and i still stand with my word and add a little more.. Me being an honor post-grad student who uses this device to the fullest can say with certainty that you're not cut out for this device and the device is wasted on you...

  • yup, you're an apple fan boy :D. kidding... Look, i get it that you didn't have a good experience with this device. A mature way to convey that would be to express your opinion and your opinion only... If your note is collecting dust, who cares!!! that doesn't the device "unpopular and unfavorable"(if you had bought like a million of these, then yah your word is more then an opinion in this case). Finally (you brought this one on yourself buddy), this device is better then any ipad out there. Now iam saying that not based on my opinion, but from the ratings here in gsmarena. Can you still say this device is "unpopular and unfavorable" :p

  • Interesting discussion you guys got going on here. Though I have to say note 10.1 2014 has it's advantages... Personally I think the pen is the major selling Pont of the note and you are right android os do lag with time, the capacity button also get in the way while using the pen, and charging / discharge could be a pain in the ass most time. Despite all this I still like the note 10.1 tablet 2014 because 1, it is cheaper.. Bought mind 6 month ago for 150 dollars 2, the pen,... If you no how to position your hands you can avoid accidentally touch the capacity button 3, the display is gorgeous 4, the size and weight are just perfect 5, the battery last long

  • I too had the same belief until I used iPad. seems like you have never used iPad and if once you start using iOS you will never go back to Android. Android is a crappy OS for tablets with all virus , junk apps, making the device slower and slower with time. Also windows OS is improving on tablets, android is getting worse and worse. At least that's my experience. Most of my friends in US have switched over to IOS from android since apple device are not as expensive here.

  • I too had the same belief until I used iPad. seems like you are never used iPad and is once you come to go back to Android.

  • I simple minded & straight forward user...so complexity of ios is not my choice...my daily routine to check site..my company..my friends..most of them using android phone...so easy fr me to forward my report and picture thru android..so working and social environmnt plays major role fr me to choose androids...for me androids give me simple instruction and easy fr me to share moment with others...sharing is caring..😁

  • If some thing is not good it's social responsibility to let everyone know with justification. And I still stand with my words, note is a piece of junk com p a red to ipad & surface. If you don't believe me go ahead and waste your money.

  • I didn't know much about note,I had an ipad for 2 yes. My intent of getting note was better specification and ability to use pen. But It was a big disappointmentioned, since note has a stylus but the way it is implemented renders it useless. The scratch pad provided doesn't have any customizable size. Second the touch buttons provided near the home will always keep disturbing while writing text, I have to rotate the note . After some time I was so tired and frustrated I had to keep my note only as an extra device and my iPad is busy with my wife and kids. Believe me nobody touches my note ever. This clearly shows how unpopular and unfavorable note is. I have borrowed surface from my friend and the stylus interface seem to be much better and usable. I am not against note or any device but based on my experience want keep people warned so that they don't waste their money on this device.

  • Galaxy devices run on Google Android. Does not have full USB port. (common among tablets) Does have MicroSD slot. (able to upgrade storage) Battery lasts longer when bloatwares are removed. (Search XDA forum website for list of bloatwares). Battery is mounted. (cannot use extra battery) Does not have hdmi port. (cannot plug to TV/monitor)

  • I can tell you my surface & ipad has been collecting dust, so I could say the reverse of what you originally said: "do your research and avoid surface or ipad". However, it would be stupid to tell someone that he/she should "buy something else because I don't like it".

  • look buddy, i only commented because you called this device to be a piece of junk based on your ignorance. I mean, if you want simplicity and ease of use over complex functionality and better Personalization, why buy this device in the first place and not go straight for an ipad instead? Iam a techie and i hate most apple products from experience, but do i think or call them junk, offcourse not... Now your last comment on power management is a valid acceptable opinion. So all iam saying is that, try not to trash talk about a device, since what you or i say is not a fact, but just an opinion based on preference. P.S. Just incase you are an apple fanatic, name one ipad device that got a better voting then note 10.1 2014 for design, features and performance in gsmarena :D. unless you disagree with all the gsmarena users, in which case shhhh!! :D

  • and yes, I am using p605 you may be using different one to get better performance.

  • As a user, why should I bother which OS (IOS or android) I am using. There should be an abstraction. I will always look for ease of use rather than getting into complexity of OS. When I say loosing charge without use I mean to say I just dont touch both the devices for said hrs. Now what should really go in the background is complete hibernation or clocks disabled or throttled down to save power no matter how many apps were opened, that's what I believe the power management to happen. I think the way power is managed between iPad and Note is different and does matter. I have also realized that charging current of Note is much higher compared to ipad. Seems like Note current consumption is much higher compared to iPad.

  • good for you mate. I would've considered the note pro if only they had a 10.1 version of it. 12.2 inch is too big for me i guess :D

  • One correction. The charging time is 3.5 - 4 hrs...

  • I had mine for almost 2 years now, and i'm still very contented with it. Very good battery, very good resolution, etc. I've tried other tablets/phones of other brands before so i know what i'm saying. I still wont exchange mine to other new released tablets..

  • again, how ignorant can you be?. because, except the battery & charging issues, everything else is just a comparison between android and ios, personally i can give you 100 complaints on ios, but whats the point. Lets stick to your device specific issues, shall we. Now, i did as you said and after 8 hrs, the battery was 93%( i play game of war, clash of clans, boom beach with multiple accounts, just for the record). Yours could be lower then that, but 70-80% suggests you have alot of background activity going on or something else is wrong. Ipad does have a better battery life but your claim about the note's battery life is either inaccurate or specific to your device only. I can say that with confidence based on your issues with charging. My note charges from less then 10% to 100% in 2.5 to 3 hrs (while on and i can be sure because my usage demands charging every day). longer if i keep using it while charging. I use the same charger that came with the device. if your claim of 6-8hrs is true, iam really not sure why you haven't gotten it checked (2 years warranty if iam not wrong). Frankly speaking (based on your claims), ipad would be a better choice for you, not because its better (again, i dont want to get into the android vs ios debate), but because it suits you better.

  • Well I don't comment without experiencing anything. Here are my points to justify 1. Charge ipad & note to 100%. Check after 8 hrs of no use. You will realize ipad will be almost 98% while note will be between 70 to 80%. 2. Ipad will take 2 -3 hrs to charge from 0 to 100% note will take 6 - 8 hrs. 3. For looking into picture galary ipad is too easy while note it's a big exercise . 4. Every time I sAve a photo on ipad it goes to photo galary in note I don't know which folder it saves you have to look for it. 5. Most of Facebook interface is too easy to use on ipad while on note it's tough. I can't explain lot of UI experience which is a hell on note.

  • How ignorant can you be? surface is more of a laptop replacement which is a different product category in essence. Apple never drops their price cause, well its apple, when have you seen them sell for a reasonable price. Samsung products get cheaper every year only because they release the next version every year (in the Note 10.1's cause, the note pro). Above all, If you are gonna call it a junk, justify it from your own perspective of quoting some sales figure

  • nothing mate. Tablets require a 2.1A power output for optimal charging. Your computer's USB (even 3.0 if you consider) wont output that much power. So you cant charge it that way. Get a 2 meter or more cable, makes it easier to use while charging...

  • I want to ask is it normal for this tab to drain 3% only for 4minutes of playing coc and drain 6% for playing plant vs zombies? And why my tab screen flash for less than a seconds and the simcard not detected for a while? Can anyone help me?

  • the device is awesome, but please can only charge the battery in direct power only ,but doesnt charge via a computer USB port ,what can be done please guy

  • This is a piece of junk. Pay little more and buy surface or buy iPad, you will be more happier. Most of the posts here seem to be posted by Samsung marketing team. I have used this for 14 months now and I am very very disappointed. Compare the prices of Note : iPad : Surface during last one year, Surface is most stable while iPad has fallen by 20% and Note by 37%. if you disagree burn your fingers.

  • I love it. I have used mine for a year now. But my drawbacks on this device include: very slow battery charge of up to 18 hours single charge; no update for the old 4.3 Jelly Bean OS.

  • Nonsense. Exact opposite experience here. Its like...whats an ipad? now we've used a 2014 note.

  • No it is not true.Some of the showrooms told me that too but you can see in the company's official website that it is very much available,so i ordered mine from flipkart.

  • I have been using this tablet for about 2 months now.battery is awesome but it has a lag when i tap the centre button to come on.atleast 2 second lag.but im not here for specs.my question is it is running from the factory on Jellybean.i want to know when is Kitkat or Lollipop update coming out for it.im from South Africa

  • Is there SIM card provision for use of whatsapp and messaging services

  • Is samsug is going new tabs?

  • i have a similar problem! what is the solution? changing battery???

  • Please I want to buy a tablet but I am confused between Samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition 3G and Samsung galaxy tab pro 10.1. Both are seems good for me but I want your opinions hardly and as soon as possible. Thanks in advance

  • It must but loose power even when u dont touch it at all but nt much maybe 1% every 4or 5 hours or so

  • my note loosing charge while screens display is close what to do i am not using any apps which are running on background and allso i have switch off gps and using low screen power

  • In our schools teachers are using Ipad air 1 or Ipad air 2

  • I am a teacher and I use office software as my teaching tools ( I use word & powerpoint) I like to write by pen at the class and show it to the students by data projector. Does samsung Galaxy note 10 help me ? can it be connected to the projector by mhl cable? If the answer is yes,How many pin it's output has? (11 or 5)?

  • im going to buy samsung smp 601... plz review me. whether the model is good or bad. ?????? reply as soon as possible. waiting for your valuable comments.....

  • After using note p-605 for one year I finally conclude that note is no match to ipad in terms of reliability usability and battery usage. If some wants to buy tablet with pen, 'surface' is much better choice, though bit expensive.

  • which has better performance 3g or 4g model?????

  • Can any one help when I leave my note for some time and then I come back to use it again I find it switched of and need to switch on it again through the power button .. I just bought it yesterday ???

  • Yeah am here , but I still need to upgrade mine , I need help please.

  • When is android 4.4 is coming out , am tried of this old version of Android jelly

  • I prefer the old OS

  • When i Upgraded it to kitkat, its Faster and Better!! P605 user here

  • Will somebody who had updated to 4.4.2 share his/her experience/observations/evaluation please? I am still quite reluctant to the implement the update on my P605. thanks

  • how do you take n screenshot

  • Nice device , it's pleasure to have it !

  • Yes it does.

  • Does this function like a mobile phone?

  • How can you adjust the brightness if it was lower down and you can no longer see the screen?

  • How to connecting it to samaung not 3 Gear watch

  • Yes, 4g and 3g version has this function.

  • Does it support voice calling/sms over the mobile network without the internet connection, I mean through the SIM card like any mobile phone? Thanks

  • Bought mine in 2013 December from Samsung naija. No issues since day one,my problem is with Samsung for lack of updates.thou I downloaded and installed d latest south African ROM.luvly device for sure,BT I ain't buying Samsung's product anymore due to updates issues and pranks.#naijaforlife

  • I got this device with excitement last year after looking up the specs. Unfortunately I just returned it to Samsung in Nigeria. Reason being that I couldn't enjoy the device, even though the features are largely lovely. It happens that after about 3 weeks, I powered it down and it couldn't power on again. I took it to service centre for repairs, it happened again...and again. So I said you know what? Please keep this slab of crap and give me Tab S 10.5 in exchange. Hopefully that will serve better, the only major difference is the lack of stylus, but I can manage with Evernote.

  • Using 46 gb SD external card does not affect processes in taplet even if i make the external card full , right ?!

  • Total waste of money. Do not buy. Battery drain issues, lagging. Takes forever to charge. Keep off this tab....will soon offload mine and get an ipad.

  • Finally!!! Since Samsung refused to send me kitkat updates, I decided to manually download and install the latest south Africa kitkat rom. #luvmysm-p601again.

  • it s safe if you u use original box.

  • is it risky to send this tablet by post ..what about its glass ??

  • It can't bend or get scratched by sitting on your desk.

  • After two month of release i bought this device it was beautiful but it damaged by water, anyway i need to buy another one now but i read bad opinions about using the device for long time some 6 months and others year about now, for my experience using the device for two months only it was good but low free ram was the biggest problem that for samsung software specially (magazine) it reserve more than 100 mb of ram and using some apps make the device very slow. I need your opinion about using the device for long time and battery life time. Thank you

  • is this note have proximity sensor?

  • I've had this tablet for 6 month now. The headphone jack port is broken, the home button is full of scratches, and the tablet is a little bit bent. I can see light from the back-light shining through the display on the bottom. And you know what? My tablet has been sitting on my desk all this time. i didn't drop it, take it in a dangerous environment or anything. Also, touchwiz on this one is maddening. So much lag, so much useless bloatware. The scratchbook app will drive you insane, constantly opening itself and beeing intrusive all the time. I can't believe this piece of shit has such a good grade.

  • Your opinion is right but you could have bought from authorised way and we can deserve service ..

  • yes

  • is model sm-p601 & sm-p6010 both are same or not ??

  • sm-601(3G),is this model support 3G with wifi or not ?

  • You might be using the tab while it is charging.It should not be used when it is charging. Because it charges and discharges frequently while you are using it and hence the battery life may drain.

  • I have got Galaxy Note 10.1 SM-P605 3G+LTE. It worked well and battery dutation is superb. But now.... when I connect to a charger, it starts to charge. But it stops charging within few seconds.... what can I do for this?????

  • Hi.im buying this tablet in julay 2014.this is very good tablet .camera,Lcd,speaker,pen and... is very very very good. I think this is The best tablet in world

  • Finally received Android Kitkat update for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition for Dubai model.

  • Hello guy's.few days ago im posting a comment about note10.1 2014E update to 4.4. Today when i check my tablet software update, new firmware is available and i start to update my tablet.update version is 4.4.2.(sm-p601 , united Arab)

  • Its supporting sim card I have one

  • I think samsung releasing the kitkat update in uae now I am updating mine ,and the size of the update arround 645 mb I think its kitkat

  • I am re-posting my hands on experience to protect others getting trapped. Dont ever buy this tablet. I have shared my experience earlier too. Well my device stopped working after and upgrade in the the month of Dec2014 after using it for 9 months, Since I brought it on eBay. it was a singapore model and waranty was valid in Singapore only, I couldnt do much in USA, so just kept it, not understanding what to do, as you get a good used tablets for less than $200 instead of getting this crap repaired. Finally one day in mid of Jan2015 I plugged the charger one more time and it worked. I let it fully charge for 15Hrs and since then I never let the charge go below 60%. I use it as a delicate piece of gadget which can break even by blow of your breath. The reason I brought it was to use it was for procutive usage writting my notes , drawing etc, now I use it just to browse and watch videos. overall Samsung has broken trust and greatly dissappointed.

  • How can use sub

  • Same problem dude.just say you are using latest firmware!!!its time of android 5 releasing.but we are waiting to 4.4.

  • I just purchased the Samsung Note 10.1 2014 edition in the UAE from Samsung Store; it has the 4.3 Android. Tried to update the firmware to kitkat, but it is telling me that it already has the latest update, which is 4.3. This can't be right. KitKat has already been released on similar units 10 months ago throughout the world. It also has Romanian Samsung Hub and Samsung Galaxy Apps. I could not change the language; it i sliek it is built-in into the ROM. I even reset it, but without luck. The Samsung store would not refund it, even two days after I bought it. Very sorry that I bought this piece of junk from an unresponsible company like Samsung. Goodbye Samsung, and hello Apple.

  • Will Samsung ever update the African sm-601 to kitkat 4.4.2 at least. The wait seems endless and I am really regretting buying a Samsung product. Where can I get the UK recently updated SM-601. I am willing to to update my note myself. What a shame to Samsung

  • Hello guys.i have this tablet for 1 year.its good.no problem in this one year.just i really want to know when i can receive kitkat update for this tablet.my tablet is sm-p601 united arab??????????samsung support going really bad.they just made a new phone everyday.no software support.

  • I used this tablet for almost a year, and forme this tablet run very nice, good performance, no lagging, no sudden death, good battery back up ( estimate 1 and half day with normal usage). Avg camera quality but i almost never use the camera. Very usefull s-pen.

  • You should have kikat on it by now!

  • This tablet dosent support sim card.

  • I have this tablet 6 months and it works great. No lagging at all. Its a beautiful tablet. It great watching videos and movies on it. It has great sound. Very smooth and display is beautiful. You can get beautiful magnatic covers for it that works a bit like s viewer. Really good tablet.

  • When will the kitkat update release in india

  • which better galaxy tab s or note 10.1 2014 edition??

  • which better in document and writing editing this type or Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 ?

  • hi, may be google play book is not available for your country. because i can install it directly from play store.

  • Hi, using this tablet for 1 year now and very satisfied with it. yes it has lag some times, even i already use android 4.4.2. i think why this tab has lag is because the screen resolution is too high for exynos octa 5420. may be if this tab use 1980 x 1020 res, i'm sure it will fly.. battery performance is very good, long lasting more than 2 days with normal use (with out play many games).

  • Any one know how to install google play books on SM-P601 it's not available for this note what's wrong ?

  • Hi, I read your comment and I will tell you i have the exynos 3g version , it originally had 4.3 and a lot of lag, but after the 4.4.2 update it is amazing!!! All fixed, I completely recommend this, the s-pen is really great too!!!! but if you decide against this, you should look at ipad air and Samsung tab s.

  • Up to 10 h (multimedia) (2G) / Up to 49 h (3G) -------- what does that mean? you get more battery life if you use 3G instead of 2G?

  • I've had the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition 4G LTE from T-Mobile about a month now. I haven't experience any lagging. My only complaint is that it uses the 2.0 usb charger which takes a long time to charge completely.

  • Thinking about buying this one but there are too many negative reviews especially with respect to lag. May go for the one plus one instead. I hear the thing rocks.

  • HI take it in for check up. same thing happened to me...they must reload all software. should sort the issue out. if not replace battery

  • For once pls be truthful, 1, battery: i have been using mine for about 7 months now and my battery still last up to 5 days on normal use and a day any half heavy use. 2, lagging: many applications are set to onto start and run on background without ur permission, 3, both the hardware and software are in great condition, the touch wiz ui is fast enough. The 2014 tablet is on first class folks, i will advise you all that are against its performance to examine your tablets for junks, like unwanted apps, app cache,auto run apps background process and so on. As for me its far better than the new iPad air let alone older models coz i use both of them. Under no circumstances is a device of 1g ram 1.3ghz dual core Better ot compare able to a device of 3gb ram 2.4ghz octacore The difference is clear. Pls folks a little bit of the truth will be fine.

  • The battery life is really hopeless. It drops from 100 % to 15% in less than 20 minutes usage. I cannot take note of a sermon of 30 minutes. Am very really frustrated as I have to put it on charge continuously while in use. I use Samsung phones for years. This is so disappointing. Any advice? I now have to go back to my I pad that I hate cause of its stingy nature with its apps. Help out please.

  • Thanks, I ave checked with 2-3 readers it never worked for me. Seems like problem with the device.

  • Try to change your OTG cable. I am using a Nokia OTG cable for my P605 and I can even open my 500GB external hard disk.

  • Ok, thank u

  • If u have d luxury of patience for Samsung's miserable update speed/policies, u can buy a note 2014 edition if not,forget about Samsung cos they (Samsung) will frustrate u with firmware update issues. #amstillstuckedwithjellybean4.3. Note:I bought my sm-p601 brand new November 2013,BT Samsung has refused to seed updates to me to d best of their knwoledge. #afraustratedsamsungcustomer#patientientlywaitin­gfor#htcnexus9#nvidiashieldtablet. Am done with Samsung for life,immediately I receive my shipments.

  • Sony Xperia Z Ultra 4G with kitkat and lollipop soon or Samsung Galaxy note 2014 3G with jellybean ? :-\

  • I've had the device for almost a year, and I've had very few issues with it. I'm an engineering student and use the device as a textbook, notebook and circuit simulator and the occasional game or two. I've had no I game lag and very few os stutters . overall the device is amazing for multitasking copying your friends notes and notes of the bored camera style but don't be looking to take all inspiring images with device. It's Almost a laptop replacement for a student.

  • HI i had this for a month. brand new. already been in 3 times. SAMSUNG ROODEPOORT is disgusting. they keep returning my device with unresolved issues. the battery goes to 30% and dies...sent it in 3 times nothing changed they refuse to change the battery... they don't even test the battery... they just let it drain and claim its tested so i am on the verge of moving to apple now.

  • You didnt talk in terms of what your good means. being an engineer I dont get the terms good, large, huge, excellent. etc I would rather like to define. I explained the problems. the placement of buttons the un-resizable note scratch pad, battery charging these are real issues. I am not sure what made a super difference with all the features by introducing kit kat. I am neither iPad fan nor an android follower I am just telling what I felt is better than other. Note may be very powerful but User interface is a crap and samsung really didnt ustlize the capabilities to fullest potential.

  • Try disabling Power Savor and if it still lags that means CPU has problem.

  • Yes I never used android before, Galaxy note was my first android device and I was very disappointed in further using android. But I felt using iPad was much more convinient than using Galaxy note. I am not sure if my tablet is fake since I was able to register it in Samsung website and also have an invoice with serial number. I dont want argue with anybody or use foul language. What I meants was if I compare the user intutive behaviour in both the tablets iPad seems to be much more easy to use. I do agree that as per specification Samsung has more powerful hardware, but that doesnt give any convinience to me. I think we should rather discuss technical points than abusive and insulting language. Samsung nor Apple is my home business they sell gadgets which will always get superseeded by the new ones in market.

  • You probably have a fake galaxy note or you're just a troll. Ive had this device since it launched and the performance of mine has been outstanding, its even better now that i updated it to kitkat!!!Smooth as hell. You need to quit saying ishh on here!!Go out there get the real thing and stop criticizing what you cannot afford!! sent from my P605

  • Either you're lying, never used Android before, or simply stupid. I own both an ipad and galaxy note tablet, and i've found the galaxy note tablet far more useful than my ipad for work purposes.

  • Does anybody have used OTG of the tablet. I tried using two otg readers to read my SDCARD but both of them never worked. the specification says it has host usb feature, I am not sure it never detectes any usb device plugged in. I checked all the options in setting but never found a mention of OTG or USB host. If anyone has experience please share.

  • I have been using Note P605 from last 9 months. here is my expereince. The tab is average. I think those you have never used iPad will probably like it. I brought this tablet to replace my iPad and use it for some productive application. But I am little dissappinted. Samsung has packed a very powerful hardware with a week and un-intuitive software. I think I should rather blame Android than Samsung. This tab comes with all the nonsense android junk which you dont want, Virus, unwanted installations, Sluggishness, unmanaged RAM in the background etc. -One of the biggest disaapointment is when using the pen, although the sensitivity of the pen is very good so is the writing experience but, the 2 touch buttons placed near home are annoying. The moment you touch these buttons whatever you have written is either gone or you have to strugle to navigate and get it back. One way is to rotate the tab and use it upside down , but I didnt like rotating the tab idea. The sketch pad is a crap. I think they never experimened with what would be the real need. The paper size selectable in the sketch pad is abnormal and i didnt find any customisation for the same. I couldnt use the sketch pad or note pad watever you call for my needs and for whatever reason I brought this device for. The sticky note is good but I was not able to write something and copy paste from there as text. Very small things Samsung missed. I am not sure if this is a problem with android, but the photos and pictures organisation is too confusing. It is impossible for me to navigate the picture I have stored. I have to strugle to find the place my pic is stored which was too easy in my iPad. thats the reason I said samsung didnt work on user intuitive behaviour they just put an powerful hardware and left it to customer. battery charging will take an year if you dont use standard supplied charger. Battery drains within short usage or no usage. For this reason I stopped using this device unless I badly need to do something writing on the screen. I am not sure why many of the apps run in only one orientation of the screen. some run only in potrait, which is annoying but may not be in control of samsung. Overall its very dissappointing gadget. If You are Samsung and android fan this may be for you. But for me Samsung had to work on battery and application and I will call it a very primitive device.

  • Install Sensor kinetics full version and run the real time test on Game Mode. You get pretty reliable results

  • I've always love Galaxy Note Series since i use Note 2, Note 10.1 2014 edition's good for all user but in some reason there's an apps compatibility issues to use in landscape mode so i have to turn the device 90' degree but beside those problem i didn't have any other issues. I've use this device for about 1 year and really helpfull device

  • Does this Samsung galaxy note 2014 edition have excel?

  • Got an ugrade to 4.4.2 a couple of weeks ago. Then, after that I experienced a lot of problems with the apps I'm using. My twitter now is saying its not compatible with my tablet. Also, everytime I tried to download a series from Torrent now, it wouldn't work. I was doing fine with the 4.3 OS before. Now, the upgrade to the new OS sucks! Anyone experienced the same thing?

  • Developed sudden flickering.how do I resolve it. Samsung 10.1 tab 2014 edition

  • there is a 3.5 audio port!

  • Great performance. Huge resolution. Cannot understand the lack of a headphone jack port...but then again, Samsung usually lack a brain when it comes to basic hardware integration. Eg: Galaxy S5 has a FM radio chip inside the phone but Samsung DEACTIVATE it. That means, instead of listening to local radio as it happens, you need to connect to the internet to use your data and potentially download previously uploaded podcasts. Stupid, Saumsung... Stupid.

  • Will my tab p600 get 4.4.4 update? Has anyone heard if it will!

  • LCD on note 10.1 super amoled on tab s.better disp. Quality is all, plus finger print sensor

  • I want Kitkat in my Note please...

  • Nice sales pitch,...now good byeeeee

  • Go to Settings, then connections and finally WiFi. Select your WiFi network. Click on the menu button and select Forget. Then, deactivate your WiFi and reactivate it after a few minutes. Insert the WiFi network information again and it should work. Deactivate automatic scanning by going under Settings, WiFi, Menu and Advanced.

  • The best tablet I ever had. LOVE IT & working with it for 80% of my lectures. One question - while I'm watching a picture and rotate the device, it wont flip, unless I click on the rotate icon at the top. On a gallery view and any other time / app it rotates & flips normally.

  • Hai, I got SM-P601 16gb note. Some times its getting restarted while I'm working. Why is that? Please help. It's under warranty yet, I could complain if it's a factory fault.

  • fortunately you got more space and 8-core processor, unfortunately you got 3G -GSM, becoz your previous device was p605 and now they replaced it p601, not much difference of connectivity and better memory space, nothing to worried, stick with it. it is a great device. you should be able to update it to firmware version P601XXUCND6 as it is for Sri Lanka. check this site :

  • Hi my wife got this tab 605 16gb as a gift and it was awesome but after 2 or 3 day the screen starts to flicker and went annoying ...After a week we returned it and just got the same note 10.1 2014th edition and it's 605 32gb and I've been using it since i got it and not a sign of a screen flickering thanks to God..but I cannot update it to kit kat like i done it to previous one and also no LTE... previous one had LTE.(this only says wcdma/gsm , wcdma, gsm ...no 4G LTE.)..what is wrong with this 605 32gb. ? Please help.? (I'm from Sri Lanka)

  • It happened to me. Try formmating it and if that dosnt work you might have to buy another sd card. I had 3 32gb that broke on me. Im using 64gb i bought on amazon. Its samsung one and it doesnt cost much. It works great and no lagging. Its very fast.

  • Just root it using towel root, install a custom recovery with Odin, the latest as of now is twrp 2.8. Make sure you get the right version for your device be it exynos or snapdragon. There are lots of official kitkat rooms floating around for this device just download one or a custom one and install in TWRP recovery.

  • Anyone knows when SM-P605 will get kitkat update? Any idea?

  • Can I get an update for SM-P601

  • still no update for my SM-P605

  • recieved kitkat update OTA for my P600 on thursday. i live in belfast. some changes in it. no lagging and its smoother. i bought it 3 months ago. battery lasts longer and charges quicker than before update. so im pleased with it.

  • No. I use a cover with magnatic on it. Also it has auto/wake and sleep. Keeps my note P600 2014 safe from scratches.

  • If you have model p600 it dosnt support micro sim card.

  • I recieved kitkat update few days ago on P600 2014 edition . Its look has changed and few extra things added in. Its running very smooth. Very happy with it. When i just had jellybean it kept freezing and took apps couple seconds to open up. But since kitkat update e everythng is great.

  • Ok, thanks.but I believe kitkat update has being up and running in the UK, since April/may. Note: I sent samsung the mail last night, as u suggested . Still no feedback, or updates for now. Am from Africa, Nigeria to be precise. Thanks once again for your concern. #grateful

  • I'm in London, UK

  • i did not received android kitkat for may sm- p601 yet

  • Where are u from (country).cos I have being waiting since April too.thanks

  • Contact samsung directly by email with your serial number, that's what I did and the next day I got the update and I've been waiting since April.

  • Got kitkat update today. I live in uk. Seems smoother. Couple extra things added in. So happy now with it. :)

  • where is the sim card be putted?? i did not see it

  • will i get kitkat update on mine? mine is P600 2014 edition note.

  • Im from srilanka and my model is 601 no kitkat update

  • it is awsome tab

  • Am an android user (sm-p601 to be precise), tired of samsungs's sluggishness. let's appreciate a good tin for once.apple did well this time around.from my experience, there ain't much difference btw 1080p and 1440p on a small screen, moreover 1440p only add more stress to your phone's internals (gpu, etc). Theoritically speaking, since A8 is 50% faster than A7 gpu wise, that's means A8 is faster than snapdragon 800,801 and arguably 805.putting all these and others into consideration, apple indeed nailed it this time around. #keepthegoodjob apple, let haters keep hating. Note:will sell my sm-p601 as soon as the ipad air 2(whatever the name is) is unveiled. Note:still no kitkat update for me, and android L is just around the corner. Is that fair?

  • I got update of Kit kat It is a official one I am from Sri Lanka My model is 605 4G model Following the update note runs very smoothly Initially my network 4G band was not supported but now supporting to my device On become stylish

  • Hi, I don't know if you bought eny tab yet but there is a samsung tab s note too, check it yourself.

  • what about the 2015 edition? any news or rumors on that?

  • This is the best thing ever, I've got the LTE model and it is super Fast! I can download over a gig worth of files in few seconds, and for gamers the graphics are awesome although the software apps consume a lot of space but it is worth it. Currently it is unrivalled.

  • Yes it does. The P605 (LTE) version at least. :)

  • The LTE version of this Tablet can make voice calls and it does support text messages. In other words, it has a SIM card slot. It also supports 3G as well as WiFi. I got it in May :)

  • Congratulation man what it's your model? how does it work after update??

  • i got kitkat update today

  • I just want to ask if this tablet can make voice calls, text messages and the like. I hope you answer me quickly. Thanks in advance.

  • Samsung will tactically delay sm-p601 kitkat update in some regions, and at the end of the day they (samsung) will tell you, your device is over 2 yrs old and has long passed d update circle or your device internals do not support the latest firmware. Samsung is forgetting that the latest firmware was released by Google months b4 d end of d update circle of the particular device in question. We ain't fools samsung, not everyone likes rooting.i need my updates fast nd smooth. #sadsamsunguser (sm-p601 ), Africa.

  • I has same problem. I update it to kit kat 4.4.2 but still flickering

  • hi all. I read this tablet is getting updated to kitkat. I'm still jellybean and haven't received update yet. This cost me £499 and it shud have had kitkat in it. Let's hope I get update soon.

  • I have the same issue with flickering since I updated it to 4.4 I am quite sure that it depends on the GSM signal as when I leave the wireless on only it doesn't happen ever. Instead with GSM on it usually comes when it looks for a GSM signal or switch cell

  • There is an update for 4.4.2 Kitkat I have it but you have to use Odin to update it

  • I need my kitkat update shamesung SM-P605, never gotten an update since i bought it!!Why are u so sluggish shamesung, this is embarrassing, u cannot even give your latest device update on time?

  • cann we update this note on officialy kitkat 4.4.2 using its own software update

  • Great device but 4.4 should have been available already, shame on you Samsung!!

  • With GSM..... can I make phone calls on this tablet? How?

  • does note 10.1 camera comes with panorama features?

  • I just asked when the update kitkat android 4.4 will be get to the p601 3G version? Samsung is so slow to update their devices, it's not serious with their clients!!

  • hi all. ive jus reveived an update on my note 3 today. it was a system update 28mb. does anyone know wat its for plz

  • Same here, I hope they will release another note tablet since I have come to love my N8000

  • i bought this beautiful note 10.1inch editon 2014. i love everthing about it. i use a non original cover with auto wake and sleep. i bought two on amazon. would recommend this tablet.

  • i bought tab 3, about 4 months ago, suddenly stopped working got it fix and then stopped working... i dont recommend it at all. i bought it from Radio Shack Festival city. and still the tab is not working

  • I recently bought this tablet. I anticipate it very much. However, it seems to be not worth its price. I bought it for RM1800(which is more expensive than my laptop). It will lag for a few seconds sometimes when I opening apps. And its just a week old. Maybe its my bad luck to get a not very good quality one. But I would prefer Ipad over this tablet for the price tag and the spec.

  • Is there any news of Samsung releasing another Galaxy Note 10.1 or 8.4 with Super AMOLED display this September? I will like to wait because right now, I don't know which one to buy between the Note 10.1 2014 and Galaxy Tab S

  • I have already updated my note (smp-601)to the latest kitkat about about a week ago, but for that i had to use odin to flash it with the official firmware and i liked the new UI changes. I just think this is the best tablet for digital sketching. I used the ipad air, but it sucks for digital sketching even if it has apps like procreate, inspire and artrage

  • any idea when this device receives its kitkat upgrade?

  • How to updated 4.4.2 kitkat

  • If you are using any cover jacket with it, take it off!! That is where the problem is coming from, the jacket is not compatible with it.

  • I am currently using Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) LTE version, 32 GB internal memory, 32GB external memory card inserted. Currently still the default Android Jelly Bean, yet to be upgraded to Kit Kat (because I'm too lazy to do so). So far, I don't have complaints with this tablet (been using it for four months now), except one restart due to installation of incompatible software. Memory card is 90% full, and internal memory is about 30% full, but it's still smooth and fairly lag free. If there are downsides, I'd say that heavy usage will heat up the tablet, and you will have to charge it once a day (assuming you game as much as I do, with WiFi switched on most of the day), and that charging does take quite a few hours. One peeve I do have with this tablet is that the USB port is located at the bottom of the tablet. You can't prop it upright if you've connected a cable to it. Overall a good tablet for heavy users.

  • Just a buy this piece of diamond really like the resolution and the amazing finish its have... But but some time my status bar does not respond to the drag down action and in the same ron the side bar disappear but after some second all retur as normal... all and above i dont regret to have invest in such this technology

  • Would I benefit from using high speed UHS-1 95mb/s micro SD card? Which is the highest speed at which this tablet can write on the card?

  • 1. My unit is Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) not LTE model can I Upgrade the current Android O.s 4.3 jelly bean to KIT-KAT? if so, there will be no bad effect with the performance?

  • The lte model will give us advantage as 4g smartphone will overtake the 3g, plus lte model powered by 2.3g cpu make it really powerful than any other device in its class, the 3g still good but as for me, i prefer the lte model. Following are the specs whi h 3g model don't: 42mbps uploading, 2.3g of cpu, 32 internal memory,

  • hello which do you recommend? 3g edition or 4g(lte)? i know the specifications but still cannot decide please help

  • hi Rem, i had the same problem like you. . but its not serious ! because of my magnetic cover. .especially when i turn back it.., but now i can solve this problem. Just the battery makes me headache today ,.i dont know why it drain fast ? sometime i think because of the charger or i did not quit some used apps . . everything else is in order.

  • R u using a non-original magnetic cover?

  • What is the screen protectión of the galaxy note10.1 2014 Edition? please.

  • Simply incredible, very fast and made for every need, specially for productivity. It's incredible the time I was losing going from an app to the other. Very powerful and lag free. Only thing is how can I see the HMP working between all 8 cores, cuz now is by faith. Does anybody knows an app? With cpuid I only get the 4 A15 cores.

  • Using it for about 7 months now (sm-p601, 4.3 jb).no single issue(s) at all.wowww device, extremely special. Samsung for life(till they starts misbehaving thou). Best advice:JUST BUY IT.

  • I have the wifi only 16gb for about a month now. My device intermittently resets and or locks itself out when in use. It occurs most often when i change the viewing angle from my lap and upto 45 degrees from playing to watching videos . Also when i hold it on both sides landscape mode. Do any one of you experienced this? Is it a hardware issue? Any advice guys pls...

  • Thanks a lot Rafee

  • Seems like. Screen flashes at times

  • Is there any chance of getting the Taizen Update for the Galaxy Note 10.1,2014 Edition ?

  • Overall the machine is indeed a satisfying piece of technology. Massive RAM, powerful CPU, nice graphics, stylus and decent amount of battery power. Only thing is the interface lags and jerks... Makes you feel even the old IPad has better processing speed. I hope Samsung really can do something about the problem and not to ask the customer to upgrade into Note Pro..

  • use tubemate

  • if you forgot your password,you shouldn't worry.first of all you have to input regular passwords several times until the device lock temporary (almost 30 seconds),after that repeat again and this time the tab will show you that you need to reset your password by first providing the password of the core email account of the device,and then you input a new password and you'll be good to go...good luck

I contacted the seller and I will send it from Egypt to UAE to check this thanks for everyone can help me

  • 600 means it is only wifi model 601 - wifi + 3G and octa core ( dual CPUs with quadcore) 605 LTE is the 4G version, way faster gsm comunication but quadcore single cpu

  • Its very nice

  • Whats the difference between sm_p600 & p601 are the cases the same?

  • What you think, should I buy the Note 10.1 2014 edition or Note pro 12.2 lte

  • Comparing a phone with a tablet is abit unfair If you want one device for gaming,studying,listening and if you have a secondary phone i recommend this tablet If you don't have or won't buy a secondary phone i recommend note 3. Its your choice,after all.

  • there ain't no rivals for this thing. :D

  • Where is our kitkat 4.4.2 update?

  • To these day, Only SM-P600 US version has the multi user. Other than that, either slowly wait or root the tablet to get that.

  • The tablet is great for note taking and everyday uses. The battery are not that bad. 3 hours on time for my lecture use about 40% or less. If normal use it'll last 2 days. But for gaming, it drain faster about 6-7hrs. The only issue is that it take 7 hours to fully charge which best for over night charge. Other than that. Great tablet for sure.

  • I bought Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition month аgо. It is very nice and fast. One problem makes me unhappy. It overheats within 10 minutes when I play games or listen to the music on it. Please advise if anyone faced such problem and how to solve it. Thanks in advance.

  • About a day on moderate use , about 10 hours of movies

  • Fantastic Tablet ! Best Screen 2560 x 1600 , great viewing angles Awesome stereo speakers 3 gigs of ram Full day of battery backup i have nothing more to ask for ,bit pricey . But the Added S-pen features are amazing , for note taking and collecting information and scrap booking

  • Hows the wifi connectivity of the tab, does it have issues like the phablet? Slow connection?

  • which one should i buy ....samsung galaxy note 3 or samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edt sm-p605 ?

  • Please someone who is using it should frankly tell me the duration of the battery life of this tablet. how long does it take to drain if fully charged?

  • Note 10.1 2014 has 3GB RAM and S Pen ... Tab Pro 10.1 has not these

  • Hello house! Can anyone plz tell me what in d hell happened to our kitkat update?

  • the Pro only have 2g of RAM while the note 10.1 2014 edition have 3g RAM

  • There's no difference between these 2 tablets but Note 10.1 has S Pen but tab 10.1 pro hasn't

  • Such a beauty without gyro sensor, and lacking NFC function in 2014? Come on people! Let's be reasonable... These are unexpected big failures from Samsung. I don't even dreamed such a fall from them. They disappointed me...

  • really ?

  • As sold so many any my customers love it

  • Battery drains very fast.. Expecting solution in the next update.

  • I got 16GB USD610 Module SM-P601 Samsung Galaxy Note PRO 10.1 or 2014 Edition instead of Apple iPad Air which is 16GB USD629

  • Does SM-P605 model - Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) LTE edition supports multi users ? I found out the other models line SM-P600 or P601 of Samsung Notes do not support multi users. I would appreciate if anyone replies here.

  • which one should I buy? note 10.1 or tab pro 10.1 please gv yr suggestions. Thanks

  • w..r... good

  • Based on the specs over a long term and to stay current on your tech, i would recommend the Note 10.1". i have one myself and has not been disappointed. However if you looking for better customer experience after sales just encase you run into issues with the device, Samsung might not be the best to go for.

  • Hi there. I'm salesman and would like to buy either a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (N5100) OR Samsung Galaxy 10.1 (2014 edition) or Sony Xperia tablet Z. Which one would be a better buy. Thanks.

  • I bought SM-P605 32gb. Excellent videos & 8 meg photos, battery lasts for ever 8220mAh compared to phones. This was a laptop replacement & I enjoy using s-pen, fast clock speed & 3 gig ram makes this more responsive than any laptops I've used. I'm not in a 4G area but 3G is good. Great loud stereo speakers superb with hd films. Pricey but worth every penny. Only a month old but absolutely loving it so far. Best tablet on the market.

  • The comments about these phones are just oppinions so don't take them seriously...

  • I have Problem with note 10 edisi 2014.problem is whay the screen going blink when signal drop ??

  • If everyone on gsmarena can b truthful, unbiased nd straight forward, gsmarena would be a better place. BT all I see here is nonsense nd wayward biased comments from useless fans that the various companies don't even pay or care about ,be it htc, apple, samsung, LG, Sony..... fans.come on guys, quit hating nd give helpful and truthful comments about different products, so as to enable more customers to make up their mind for their preferred platforms or products. If u like insult samsung or apple products from nw till "thy Kingdom come" , none of dem will pay u a dime for doing so for them.wise up people and be fair to yourself nd others.

  • Just perfect with all what this tab has.Thank you Samsung

  • ebay had it for $654 factory unlocked. works amazing, hands down best tablet on the market.

  • Has anyone been able to find the SM-P605M the version with the 700MHz LTE in it.

  • does it run hot at the back and as well as in the upper right corner of the screen when playing 3d games? because my p600 was like that when playing. My battery will last for almost 6 to 7hours only when playing games straight.

  • It depends on you're preference. S4 is good but tablet is just as good. if u have no issue with the size of the tablet for on the move then i would say go for tablet. currently the best tablet Samsung has to offer compared to others. P605 is best out of the 3. LTE enabled and faster CPU.

  • Both also nice. Galaxy S4 is a smartphone whereas Note 10.1 2014 Edition is a tablet. Get both of it as I also plan to have both.

  • I want to buy something new and i don't know what should i buy? Samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition or Samsung galaxy s4 ? Please, i need advice?

  • absolutely.. enjoyed so much

  • I bought the p601 version and its absolutely amazing :D

  • When it says external memory up to 64GB, does that mean if i put in a memory card that is bigger than 64GB (that is if there is any available) that it will not work on the tablet?

  • can anyone tell me which of note 2014 ver is better p600,p601 or p605 and someone was saying to me that p600 is refurbish plus i am thinking to buy p600 because of octa-core is it octa-core? i am confuse about it...PLEASE HELP

  • YES!!!!Absolutely.. That if you format your 1 Tera from NTFS to FAT32..

  • Does this read a 1T external hard disk for data transfer????????

  • Try with Battery Doctor Apps.

  • I have this tablet little less then a week now. So far the over all experience has been Ok i would say. I am just a bit disappointed in the quality of the flash and the pics it takes. i have a Note 1 phone and has same camera but is far more better. the photos on my tablet looks washed out. i have maxed all settings and still no better results and have been wondering could it be some defect. i haven't had the opportunity to compare it to another unit. any thought on this peeps.

  • What should I buy the Galaxy note 10.1 2014 eddition or the Microsoft surface pro2 tell me please?

  • That's covered by warranty. Bring it back to where you bought it from, they will have to replace it.

  • Yes

  • May I know what is the usable internal memory on 32GB LTE model? When is the planned release date for 64GB model?

  • I'm having problems with mine. Its battery drains fast. I don't know. It was newly bought and when I first used it the battery goes down fast-__- :(

  • i just want to know if the flash working at or in dark place.

  • HI Dirik,the P605 works exactly like a normal smartphone when it comes to calls and SMS's. The communication is GSM dependent irrespective of the Network type. So basically as long as you have signal you can make and receive calls. BTW the video calls are amazing quality in a LTE environment.

  • Hey, Is LTE version (SM-P605) capable of voice and SMS in 3G networks? Tnx

  • Does anyone know of a quality keyboard case for this device? I'm super happy with it, would just love to have an official or 3rd party quality keyboard case to go with it.

  • Dis,note 10.1 2014 ,,, it's awesome! ! U r not gonna belive dis, how much fun it's have😚😚

  • yes' my tablet is ram free 2.34 gb

  • yes' my tablet is ram free 2.34 gb

  • Thanks singh..may be you are right.

  • This one because the tab only has 2GB ram and not stylus

  • Which one is best,this or tab pro 10.1 lte?

  • nice one,the hanging master samsung

  • Been using this device for about a month now (got the lte variant btw) and I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever the battery outlasts my gt p7500 (yeah I know ow its old) the screen is so crisp its an absolute eye candy the pen gets used much more than I thought I'd use its extremely fast (side by side comparison with cytus on my friends xperia tablet z) its much louder than any tablet I've tested against. Just love it as it is and people complaining about it being buggy? Really?? Have you smoked apple to make you say that. Clearly you haven't used it yourself and rely on apple fanboy reviews

  • Does it hang?how long stay it's battery?

  • Does it hang?how long stay it's battery?

  • does it hang frequently or have to restart to do better

  • well, you should!

  • This is for people who like functionality, features, power, ability to do more and with class :) Apple products are just toys, designed for entertainment.

  • if you want elegance...go for ipad air..if you want specs,samsung is a choice

  • Tell me honestly how is this note?is it good?should i buy or go with ipad air...?

  • Is The Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition Lag Normally And How Is The Performance?

  • If i get the Wifi only(P600) version of this, will a 4G pocket wifi provide LTE/4G coverage? Help me I'm confuse. Thanks!

  • Hi, I read your comment and realized that your description of 4G LTE does not match the device I have. Could you please explain in more detail? I am just curious since I have both the ipad and 10.1 LTE.

  • Yes it surpasses the iPad with its key features being : superior lag, bad apps for tablets , crappy build quality,bloatware,malware etc. Definitely superior to the iPad in those areas. Until Google makes for itself an high end nexus 10 without drawbacks nothing will really be an competitor to the iPad in performance and overall user experience

  • Hi everyone can anyone tell me why is this not matching my 64GB sd memory it usually disconnects it, its self. any idea how to fix this Issue?

  • The battery lasts long depending on use. If you max the brightness and play realboxing, RR3, etc. all day long, it lasts less than a day. You can watch movie all day long and battery will last. When you leave it 100% full in the morning until evening on stand-by, you can see it drops very less, like 4-5% max, so you find it around 95%. if you use internet, and/or play some small games like angry birds or similar all day long, it will drop 50%. Besides all these information, the lasting of battery would still change from user to user. Because everyone will install different apps. and some apps will run themselves in the background and keep the cpu and memory busy. Overall, i would very strongly suggest this device for business, and gaming. It is a luxurious device for daily use (i use anyway).

  • android is freedom...other than 10.1 has better pixel density, cpu, sim card, microsd card, s-pen, etc...

  • I have searched ipad air, ipad mini 2 with retina screen and sony xperia tablet Z before i bought the 10.1 2014 LTE edition. 10.1 LTE has better specs. then all of them which you can check them yourself, too.

  • I think that there is mistke in specifications. LTE device is equipped with Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974) processor. In this processor are four Krait 400 CPUs at up to 2.3 GHz.

  • dude are you for real ????

  • just google "sixaxis"...

  • Mhaan.. i am alos confused between the bouth... The only reason i am thinking about the noteis caz of the Spen.. Ipad is much Snappier and iwork apps are good..

  • Any idea how to connect xbox or ps controllers to note 10.1 (2014)?

  • My device is having no display at all since last evening. Charging level was also ok but now there is no display. Can anybody tell me its possible root causeses and its fixes???

  • In here (indonesia) ipad air 32 gigs no sd slot and cant make a gsm call, cost idr 8,8 mil (usd 733) While this 32 gigs with sd slot, better display, can make a gsm voice call, cost idr 7.5 mil ($625) Far more worth to buy But, samsung, please update the firmware, mine was stuttering often.

  • This tablet is better than Ipad in many ways. Though it cost an arm and a leg.

  • Download Flash for Android 4.0 or up from Adobe archived flash player site.

  • @Jeshin The Pro 12.2 is equal or better acording to specs than the 10.1 (2014) so pick the 12.2 when it comes out. That thing has a bigger battery than my laptop :(

  • Galaxy note 10.1 (2014) or Note Pro 12.2? Also will this be able to upgrade to KitKat to a later stage?

  • If you ask about BBM yeas but not from play store i download it from this link and it working good

  • is this galaxy note compatible with Blackberry application.

  • It is 16GB. I bought 64GB microSD to have 80GB in total. It will be enough for me since I wont be storing movies in it except while traveling. I cannot find any accessories in Europe such as docking station, booklet, etc. yet.

  • It's a tablet, why would you want 13MP on a tablet?!

  • I have waited this sm-p605 thinking it ll be my companion this season but only to discoverer that it has not been shipped to west Africa, am totally disappointed now I really need a tablet.

  • So doesn't matter which version of the tablet, they all come with 8 cpu?

  • How many is the internal gigabytes? is it 16 or 32?

  • I got the 4G LTE version as a gift for new years. The build quality is superb. Screen, cpu speed, smoothness pull you in and simply cannot drop it off. Love it!

  • Can anyone tell me the price of this note 32gb sm p605 model in ksa saudi arabia?

  • 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 (3G model)

  • yes, it is available in UAE. in carrefour and aeros only. my bro bought for AED 3,000 FROM Carrefour City Centre on my birthday. it is an amazing tab.

  • Does this LTE version work on US AT&T network? I have already seen it does not work on Verizon.

  • what is the Chipset model in 3g model?

  • It is not available at Oman. 4G LTE model available at Dubai?

  • yes..SM-P601 have calling function.

  • I purchased a new, factory unlocked P-605 last month in the States. It cost me about $650. There were two vendors on eBay that were receiving excellent reviews for sale of this item, so I went for it. Pretty awesome tablet! I have 4th generation iPad, and it is a toss up for me for me at this point (currently a little biased for Apple), but I think I will most likely sway towards the Note. I REALLY like the fact that I can throw a SIM in it, in any country, and have service, not to mention the micro SD card and the micro HDMI input. I am a little curious why Samsung placed the antenna where they did (lower left side of back-end), as most people (right dominant) tend to hold with left hand; however, no large observely problems with this so far. Big thanks to Qualcomm and other chip makers for finally building chips that support all of the world's frequencies, and thanks to Samsung, Apple, and HTC for building these all-inclusive processors into their devices.

  • We can call in it or not. Calling function is in.

  • It's not about microSDcard because the problem is here with or without the card...Also the problem is connected with ONLINE videos, as youtube and vimeo. In stores around my cities I checked other tablets as Acer, other older and much cheaper Samsung models, iPads etc. They are all good. The playing is smooth and without any problems. I'm not receiving any official answer from Samsung. Obviously it's about big production failure or discompatibility with OS.

  • can u please make a smaller version of this just like the samsung galaxy note 8.0 so that its quiet handy...

  • Camera is only 8Mpix (why not 13Mpix???) and (no dual Led flash)!!. ;(

  • Photoshop Touch is not pre installed on this device. Check with Adobe to see if it's been updated for use on this device.

  • Hi. I have the P6010. Does that mean i don't have the LTE version??? I was under the impression mine was the LTE version. If not, what is the difference between the LTE tablet and my P6010?

  • what is GPU model that use in 3G edition?

  • It's the best tablet I ever have very good job samsung

  • Can i able to call from this device?

  • Yes, Micro SIM and Memory Cards

  • That means no need to put screen protector?? i bought this tab and i have doubt about screen is it scratch proof or not.

  • micro sim card

  • Just bought the 3G version. Zero lag for existing apps. Nice work samsung

  • Hi every one I wanted to buy one of this tablet. I wanted to know if the "touch photoshop" is available on it (pre-installed) or I must download the software? tnx

  • what sim card can i use

  • Just got my note 10.1 2014 edition(p601). ..... no lag at all. awesome device....keep it up Sammy, u r d best

  • This tab's cool, but after I bought it, it was hard to feel like you know everything about it. Anyway better than ipad!

  • Always use a good screen protector, it will cost you a few bucks compared to the tablet price and will always help. I saw some information about and find that Galaxy Note 10.1 would has gorila glass 3.

  • hope they could make this one a smaller version just like the samsung galaxy note 8.0 looking forward

  • I bought the Note 10.1 edition yesterday. Stll i am confusing whether screen scratch proof or not? anybody can advice me?

  • IS this compatible with trueastro.net app?

  • Note 10.1 n tablet z lte..i will choose note10.1 coz we should have call n text messaging in the same phone..

  • I doubt if the p601 is available,i bought the p600 mistknly frm amazon and nw am stuck wif it! Amazon jus screwed me over!

  • i have difficulty holding the tab at landscape mode. The bezels on the side is so thin that my thumb accidentally presses the screen. On portrait mode I keep hitting the capacitive buttons. If there is a way to disable the capacitive buttons and use the old style on screen buttons that would be great.

  • which is best..? Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) or Sony Xperia Tablet Z lte

  • Yeah u can find it either in btech or mobileshop , it costs around 5,700 L.E I don't know whethere to get it or iphone 5S

  • i had a apple ipad air and note but compare to note ipad air graphics and performance is much better

  • There is no on-line store. There is no "refund for 15 min" button. Google cannot help. It is not in Play Store. If you hoover too long over a Samsung promo window, you are stuck with the app you mistakenly buy. No rep in ANY dept can get the charge off your Samsung Account. You are stuck. If you are not desperate for a stylus and/or split screen, buy an Ipad AIR. There is no appreciable difference. Itunes works. Apple responds. You will pay less.

  • Available in Brazil. R$ 1.660,00. Awaiting the package!!! *-*

  • the p605 is available in the philippines - price php29,790

  • Samsung, please give us update to make s-pen as powerful as that Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 n8000. The formula writing is missing. Easy hand writing conversion to text in s-note and other applications like Polaris office is missing. I thought Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)will be better in every aspect than the N8000, but I am highly disappointed in the hand writing capability.

  • when is the lte version coming to the UK

  • when this tablet will be available in Egypt???

  • Please help is Samsung Galaxy Note 10.0(2014 Edition)better than Galaxy note 8.Please advice

  • Probably never. Samsung reps stated that the Philippines will only get the WIFI version.

  • funny thing is that I dont have microSD card in it at all :) And my problems are with online youtube and vimeo videos.

  • When SM601 or SM605 will be released in Manila , Phippines?

  • I would check your microSD card. I have the note 10.1 and note 3. I had the note 2 until about a month ago. I had a similar problem playing video's on my 10.1 and it was the microSD card. It was a cheap (slow data transfer rate) I thought it would be good enough but my son who works in the technical industry informed me that I needed a faster card. make a long story short, he got me a higher quality card and my problem went away. Hope this helps. BTW... I hear the new Samsung gear (watch) is now compatible with the note 2. You should give it a try. It is an awesome watch! That is why I went to the note 3. I didn't want to wait..lol But I love that watch, well worth the money.

  • 10 inch is too big... 8 inch is just right.

  • I have got that nice piece of tablet. And its good. Except video playing on Vimeo and Youtube. Something strange is happening. There is no smoothnes in play. As if videos have only 20 frames per seconds. In comparison to my Samsung Note 2 phablet it is a major disadvantage. Does anyone know what is this about? I have intention to go back in store and reclam it. Thank you.

  • Superb note ....

  • Hi guys Any idea Note 12.2 been release ?

  • thx for help I want buy it, but now i will stay with my n8000 waiting some new version supported the gsm and wifi

  • Yes. I have SM-P600 and it is only WIFI. I bought a white one in Dubai for 2399DH, 32GB.

  • please someone tell me ,realy the sm-p600 has no support gsm and just work with wifi !!!!

  • 1.Will Note 3 & Note 10.1 2014 will get kitkat update, if it get so will current hardware support new kitkat OS? 2.As stated 10.1 2014 has 1.8GHz Samsung Exynos 5420 (4 x Cortex A15/4 x Cortex A7, Mali-T628MP6) processor. As per functional Cortex A15 or Cortex A7 either of one works at a time by running at 1.8GHz or 1.3GHz respectively, providing processing power to specifically required as per apps. But not works simultaneously. Now my doubt is, in future considering the need, would these two Quad core run at same time to provide enough Octa core processing power to run 2015 or latter version of apps? If it is coded so then this tab will be powerful enough to last couple of more updates of OS & sustain hardware capabilities to run future ready heavy apps. As overclocking of CPU & GPU was done in benchmarks it does provide massive power, so would that power be juiced out to run future coming apps? Once warranty is lapse then I won't mind to safely tweak hardware to its limits. What you think will this scenario be practical enough? & function smoothly with bearing more heating limit than current one?

  • If we choose for movies, games or social media, which one is better? And if use for work or use for Internet, which one?

  • UAE Release date" 25 November "... check this link to know where you can buy it : P.S : WIFI Version (32GB) price = 2400 AED LTE Version (32GB) price = 3000 AED

  • now its on johnlewis website for 399pounds

  • Today i purchase LTE version 32mb from UAE in Dera City Center . I am excited finally . Price 820 USD .

  • when it will release in uae

  • I was wondering the same, I found some benchmarks between the two and the LTE version is slightly faster, almost unnoticeable. The big difference is the price. I'm in HK and the LTE (32GB) version cost me $750 USD. Whereas the Wifi 32GB version will run $600.

  • The 1.9GHz quad + 1.3GHz quad has a dedicated processor for graphics. The secondary, slower processor is for graphics alone. Which one is better for you will likely depend on how heavily you use it for graphic intensive programs such as games and movies.

  • If your refer only to the processor choose the one with more cores and speed in GHz.

  • Hello. Can any one answer? I want to ask between Quadcore1.9GHz + 1.3GHz and quad core 2.3GHz which one is better? (LTE, 3G is not important) Thanks. :)

  • This looks better than the monopoly tablets in all aspects....Due to which the release is getting delayed in Austrlia...

  • radio= tbd

  • LOL, probably wait until next year or late december. But the prices will be sky high. The Note 3 fetches for a 33k up to 39k so assume that the price will be close to that range. I'm getting mine from Ebay and it's on the way to my hands probably next week is customs does not hold on to it.

  • because different areas has different LTE bands (and 3G also). It takes time to customize these devices for release in other region. The wifi only version should be released earlier since it doesn't concern this problem.

  • Thats probably just the 2012 version. I'm getting my white Note 10.1 2014 next week from ebay. got it at 550 USD

  • i must have missed it or thought it was just a mock-up too... i checked the cmk website, the wifi version is already available at 24k plus

  • Does it really support divx and ac3 as shown in features on this site? Is this site giving accurate info.

  • I have seen 16GB Wifi White in Asianic SM Megamall

  • Are you sure that the processor is snapdragon 800? I checked some of the phones in the store. It seems 4G model with 16 GB does not have snapdragon. Could you check the processor using the cpu-z program that can be downloaded from playstore?

  • a store clerk in Megamall told me that this will be available in the Philippines on january 2014

  • Doh! Then don't buy it.

  • Display - Super Ammo LED will be handy When will it be released in Sri Lanka ? Whats gonna be the price (IN USD) ?

  • why Samsung don't give any plan for releasing world wide for LTE or 3G version ? many people ask for this while it is available in some countries and not available in most countries , official SAMSUNG agencies in Dubai also don't have any IDEA for delivery date there , why ?

  • Anybody in the Philippines bought one yet? Where can i buy one in Manila?

  • When will LTE VERSION BE available in the UK?

  • own one since 28 Oct. despite upgrading to the latest firmware available via kies v3.0, this device will some time reboot by itself. hope there will be a fix by samsung in its next firmware upgrade. quite disappointed abt the performance of snapdragon 800 that comes with this device.

  • samsung galaxy note 10.1 sm-p605 3G+LTE does it support for GSM voice call?

  • Is there a line-in option in the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1(2014 edition) for the vedio and audio recording purpose?

  • please who bought this in Dubai ? which shop ?

  • its available in kuwait from 2 days ago ...the 32gb LTE version only in white ..at xcite alghanim...for 229 KD.only

  • As an university student, it is recommended that buy note 8.0, much more portable, light and easy to carry..

  • lte does'nt work on nigeria gsm network. are you from nigeria?

  • yes, it does, just look at the top of the specs sheet, it says SM-P605 3G+LTE, which means it can support 3g too...

  • does LTE version ( SM-P605) also support 3G or not ? i may trip in some countries that only support 3G , does it work also with 3G ?

  • Yes! with 3G or 4G version!

  • Please is the 3G+wifi model (sm-p601) in canada yet, and also want to know if the LTE version(sm-p605) will work with nigerian mobile networks

  • Yes u can make call & sending/receiving sms/mms with (LTE) variant... i've tested it already

  • SM-P605 (LTE)has quad core 2.3 ghz snapdragon 800 while 3G/Wifi or Wifi only has Exynos 5 octa 1.9 + 1.3 quad core processor..

  • The lte ersion has quad core not octa core?

  • can i make a gsm call with this tablet..?

  • Just bought this tablet yesterday, its SM-P605 variant (LTE), its prety amazing tablet i must say although there's a lag in some cases... but overall performance is good and really well worth buying.. u r not gonna regret spending the hard earned cash for this super monster...

  • Just got this less than a week. My hands were aching as if there was some current passing through the housing. Couldn't hold it for long. Didn't have any issues with the previous 10.1 note though.

  • Where can i get this in Bangkok?

  • Why everyone keep compare Note 10.1 2014 edition with ipad air, both totally in diferent league. I chosse the note for productivity..no other tablet can beat this monsters yet, but i admit for gaming the ipad more superior in fluidity animation also supported with optimize apps ecosystem while android game app focuses on phone size rather than tablet form. Still this note screen are just awsome for media consume too and spen is wonderful tool, i just hope samy release a longer slightly bigger size next time.

  • Had bought this tablet on the market. And the only thing that I could say. This tablet has no difference from the old note 10. It still lags when I surf the net. Still looses connectivity on cellular data. And the tablet overheats a lot whenever I used the camera, andsurf the web. Also the audio quality isn't even good.

  • Use google. If it has a micro SIM card you can make a call like normal mobile phone :)

  • Yes you can call and send messages with samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition wifi+3G with your SIM card

  • 3G model when will be avilable in Dubai ? I searched a lot in the Internet but no result .

  • anybody know about the australian release of this tablet??

  • Yup.

  • i want to know if the MS P601 (WIFI+3G) does it make calls like normal galaxy phones or only throw internet .

  • Hi please any one can inform that were can i buy this tablet sm-p605 model

  • Is this available at Saudi Arabia and how much for the LTE Version?

  • This is the best tablet ever made! I've been waiting for a tablet with good features and specs and this one just hit the nail!

  • Why this one not come with Super Amoled ?...

  • Dude samsung ftw

  • In my experience it is easier to write on a larger surface with higher resolution as I have tried note 2, ativ pro and note 8. So in my opinion 10.1 inches suits you better if you will be taking lenghty notes. Multitasking e.g opening browser and note taking app together is also better experienced on larger screen. In terms of portability I guess you will be carryin it in backpack etc so will not make much difference unless you want to carry it in large coat pocket. Battery life will be better in 10.1 Hope this helps

  • Ipad mini2, Ipad Air or note 10.1 2014 LTE? I'm a heavy gamer.Thanks.
