Note N8000. Despite the fact that this model has been on the market for more than 2 years, it continues to be sold successfully. It is its parameters and characteristics that will be considered in this review.
The heart of this tablet PC is the Exynos Model 4412 CPU. It is Samsung's own design. It consists of four revision A9 cores operating at a frequency of 1.3 GHz. It is the combination of these characteristics that allows the Note N8000 to cope with any task without any problems. Again, all the features implemented in the APM architecture successfully function in this silicon crystal. This includes turning off unused cores, and lowering the clock frequency of an unused module. All this can significantly save battery life. In general, an excellent combination of performance and energy efficiency, which is a hallmark of all devices built on this architecture.
To perform graphic functions, the Mali-400 MP4 adapter is integrated into this device. Of course, at the time the tablet was released, it allowed solving all tasks without exception without any problems. But now its computing power is no longer enough for demanding applications. The screen resolution is 1280 pixels by 800 pixels. At the same time, its diagonal is 10.1 inches. This is enough for normal and comfortable work, but a certain graininess of the picture will be present. Another downside is the glossy screen. All finger touches will be imprinted on it.
A definite plus is the presence of a capacitive sensor, which is characterized by increased sensitivity. Another advantage is support for up to five touches at the same time. But now cheaper devices can boast of a similar feature. Despite the presence of certain comments, the graphics system of the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 is well balanced, and its capabilities will be enough for the needs of most users.
The memory subsystem is simply excellent in the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000. Feedback from satisfied owners of this gadget is another confirmation of this. It has 2 GB of RAM. Now, 2 years later, not every tablet or smartphone is equipped with this amount of RAM. Built-in memory 16 GB - this amount is enough to store several movies or a library of books. In addition, there is a slot for a microSD card up to 32 GB. You can also use an OTJ cable to connect an external regular USB flash drive up to 16 GB. In general, the memory system subsystem in this case tightens by five points out of five possible. It can also be quickly increased without problems by connecting an additional memory card or flash drive.
The body of the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 cannot be attributed to the strengths. Reviews only confirm this. There are two options for its design - white (for a female audience) and black (more formal). Case material - plastic. Scratches easily appear on it, and it is unstable to shocks. Therefore, it is better to immediately buy a case in the kit that will protect this tablet from damage. A similar situation with the screen. It is made of ordinary plastic and is also resistant to cracking. So immediately you need to stick a protective film so as not to scratch or spoil it. These measures will significantly extend the operating time of this device.
A mediocre battery is installed in the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000. The Chinese version in this case is even worse. The proprietary device uses a 7000 milliamp/hour lithium-ion battery. This capacity is enough for one day of comfortable work. Although with a not very intense load, its charge can last for two days. But still not enough today. Now there are already batteries for 10,000 milliamp / hours, and this is enough for 3 days of active use. But the Chinese copy has even less - 3000 milliamp / hours, which is enough for half a day of work. So before buying it is necessary to specify the modification of the device. In addition, the rest of the technical specifications in the Chinese version are significantly worse than the original.
Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 operates under the Android operating system with an outdated version 4.0.4. This is enough to launch most offers. But still, some programs (for example, the An-Tu-Tu tester) require version 4.1. Most likely, the system software of this tablet PC will no longer be updated. Therefore, owners will have to work with what is available. This nuance must be considered before buying.
The Note N8000 tablet is equipped with a rich set of communications. First of all, these are bluetooth (perfect for connecting other mobile devices), Wi-Fi (provides maximum data exchange speed when connected to the Internet) and a 4G modem. The last option allows this device to function in any mobile networks that are available today. At the same time, the owner of the tablet is not tied to anything, but can exchange data with the global web in any corner of the globe where there is a mobile connection. Also, do not forget that there is the possibility of making calls. True, it is better to talk with headphones. The tablet has a large diagonal, so it is not very convenient to use it for these purposes. Among the wired communications, there is the ability to connect via the universal serial USB interface. For navigation, transmitters for working with GPS and GLONASS systems are integrated into the gadget. This will allow you to easily determine your location. All this is enough for a comfortable filling of this device with all the necessary information and navigation around the area.
From the standpoint of technical specifications and software, the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 looks flawless. The price is much too high. Similar tablet personal computers from other manufacturers are much cheaper. For example, Lenovo Yoga can be bought much cheaper. A device from Samsung costs $450, while a similar device from a Chinese manufacturer is estimated at $375. From this point of view, buying a device from a Korean manufacturer is not entirely justified.
When you turn on the tablet, after the Samsung splash screen, the Android sign appears on a green background and nothing else happens, or vice versa - first the Android icon, followed by the "eternal" Samsung.
To flash the N8000, you need to use the LiveSuit program. The sequence of actions is as follows:
The firmware program itself is LiveSuitPack 1.11.

Unexpectedly for myself, quite recently I happened to encounter a powerful Samsung tablet from the Galaxy Note N8000 series on 64Gb, and to be more precise, I had a chance to encounter a fake of this model.
The phone rang about a week ago. A friend called me and told me that he was offered to buy a new tablet for only $ 250. At that time he was interested real cost of tablet Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 64Gb 3G, to which I answered him with data received from Yandex Market - the price of a new tablet varies from 7.9 to 9.5 million Belarusian rubles ($800 - $970).
For the sake of interest, I looked at the characteristics of this model.
According to my friend, this the tablet was bought at the beginning of the month in the city of Moscow, but now the owner has a need for money and therefore he sells it. A friend told me that this tablet even has warranty card and receipt from the store with the Euroet stamp, which basically eliminates the possibility of forgery.
Omitting details, he bought this tablet for $150, and he received such a discount after he said that he should connect it to a computer and check everything. Neither one nor the other had time, so they agreed on this.
A little later, my friend brought this tablet to me for testing, but at that time I had things to do, and I still had to go to training. In the end, I was able to start checking the tablet only late in the evening, and this is where the fun began.
I connected it via USB to my computer, the charging indicator on the screen lit up and then for the first time I was able to start the device.
Cool - everything works, I opened applications, clicked settings, connected the tablet to WiFi, used the Internet and even played some games installed by the previous owner. During such work, the tablet turned off by itself several times, and the battery level constantly jumped in an incomprehensible way - this alerted me a little. Later, I attributed all the problems to a dead battery, turned off the tablet and left it to charge.
When my friend returned for a tablet, he asked me to throw him a couple of films and imagine my surprise when instead of 64 gigabytes my computer recognized only 2.
In the tablet settings, both the internal memory and another 64 gigabytes were displayed, but for some reason not all of them worked.
I decided that N8000 tablet is missing drivers. There was indeed an unrecognized device labeled "Android" in device manager.
I climbed on Samsung official website, chose the desired device, downloaded and installed the Samsung Kies 3 program with drivers on your computer, and immediately ran into a new riddle. The thing is that the device was not recognized by the program at all, at the moment when my Samsung Galaxy S 2 smartphone was perfectly detected.
I'm sitting at a dead end - I don't understand what this tablet needs, what it lacks. In general, I spent about 2-3 more hours with him before I began to think that he might even turn out to be a banal fake.
I visited the legendary portal about mobile devices 4pda.ru, looking for useful information, I tried to update the operating system of the tablet, tried to reflash it and eventually even did (hard reset), but I did not get any results.
The next day, I called another friend who also works in computer technology and tried to find out if he had encountered a similar problem. It turned out that stacked and sent me in the right direction. He said it was fake.
1.
The original tablet the camera is in the center- at a fake it is shifted into a corner.
2.
The real tablet Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 screen resolution 1280x800- the resolution of the fake is much lower. In my case, it was 960 by 600 - in other words, the shortcuts and app icons were just huge.
3.
Counterfeit tablets don't have GPS. Try to turn it on, and everything will immediately fall into place.
4.
Original Samsung smartphones and tablets in bare mode equipped with special applications like Samsung Apps, ChatON, Group Cast, etc. at a time when the functionality of fake versions is significantly curtailed.
5.
IMEI code certainly not an indicator, however, in new and real devices it is always present, and fakes usually have “unknown” instead of it - unknown.
6.
Fake Samsung tablets not recognized in the original Samsung Kies.
Okay, here my friend bought a tablet directly from his hands on the street, but it turns out that there have been cases when such models were quietly “sold” to customers in fairly reputable stores like Svyaznoy. Where is the world heading?
And yes, by the way, after realizing and accepting the fact that the purchased Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 64Gb tablet turned out to be a fake, I again asked my friend to show the warranty card and receipt from the store.
In fact, this is what the tablet itself looked like.
Considering that today it was difficult for me to find at least some information about fakes of this nature on the Internet, I hope that few people fell for the bait of scammers and they will not get away with it.
In general, here are the things. Good luck everyone and be careful.
If you were offered to buy a fake or, God forbid, you fell victim to these scammers and scammers, tell your friends about it. Warn and protect your loved ones!
Law enforcement agencies are not interested in solving such problems, and judging by how actively the discussion is going on, it has already gained tremendous momentum.
Let everyone know about this lawlessness - this is quite logical and correct.
All sorts of people go to the stations and offer expensive tablets for the cheap.
The owner of this tablet was exactly the same way he was "charged". There is the Internet, it is written samsungSamsung Galaxy note N8000, but in fact it is far from samsung Samsung.
Looking ahead, I’ll say that it’s better to take yourself normal And well working a tablet on the Internet than to suffer with the restoration of the performance of this fake. For example, this one. Stopudovo will work without any glitches.
So, to the question of fake - this is how it looks from the outside, in a case, and there is even a keyboard :)
When turned on, they assure that it is Samsung. But we don't believe.
Even Samsung is written on the back cover, but we are still tormented by doubts :)
Just because the Galaxy note N8000 model looks different in the original, Samsung has a front camera in the center at least, and you can find five more significant differences. Here's another option with the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000.
And when you open it, we see the now quite popular Allwinner A13 chip
Actually the problem was that it could not boot. The Samsung logo appears, then Android, with a spinning arrow, and at one fine moment the arrow freezes and the download stops, the tablet freezes.
Thanks to the w3bsit3-dns.com forum, the firmware for this device was found from Jelly_Bean in this forum thread, it was flashed without problems, it works in full functionality. If you have the same model as I have in the photos, you need the firmware MaPan_MX913_DC_Jelly_Bean_4.2_Os_Root_Firmware_J20131101.img
Everything works, both cameras, wi-fi, volume buttons, everything is as it should be.
Saved on batteries. Battery capacity is too small for long-term operation of the device, only 2300 mAh (8.55 W)
The keyboard, by the way, also works, is fully functional, only for Russian letters it will be necessary to install a third-party application.
Due to the large number of people asking about what kind of third-party application we are talking about, I answer. Russian keyboard.
So, in the market we download the program "Russian keyboard". Go to "settings", then "language and input". Click "Default" and in the window that opens, select "Russian keyboard". Below the "Default" window, also check the box next to "Russian keyboard", and on the right we see a small icon (like a mixer, regulator) Click on it. We go to the "hardware keyboard". Click "layout selection", select "External Keyboard RU". We go into the "layout switching" and there we select the language switching mode on the keyboard that suits you (space is a space). All is ready! Exit the settings menu and go to any search engine. Click on the small keyboard icon on the panel and select "Russian keyboard". We try to print - everything should work. If the keyboard will still print in Latin letters, restart the tablet.
The keyboard shortcut works the same way as in Windows - Alt+tab :)
After the firmware, we should see such a picture in the settings.
