AT&T will launch Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 on June 21
When we originally checked out the Galaxy Note 8.0, we were surprised to find calling services available on the tablet. We were even more surprised when Samsung decided to only launch the WiFi version in the US first. We are finally going to see the LTE version come out from Samsung, in partnership with AT&T. The Galaxy Note 8.0 will launch on June 21 for $399 on a two year contract.
This is pretty step for a tablet that has limited functionality and runs as well as the iPad Mini or Nexus 7. Even though the iPad Mini has its own steep prices for LTE support, we question what type of user would really purchase the Galaxy Note 8.0 and use lots of data away from home.
AT&T will also allow buyers to bundle the Galaxy Note 8.0 with the Galaxy S4, Galaxy S4 Active or Galaxy Note II and receive $200 off the tablet, which is a pretty neat.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 for AT&T launching June 21st for $400, can bundle with S4 Active or Note 2
T has announced that its Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 would be launching this Friday, June 21st, and that folks would only have to pay $400 after signing a new two-year contract to walk away with the 4G LTE S-Pen tablet
AT&T Galaxy Note 8.0 arrives Friday for $199 as a package deal
Last week the folks from AT&T announced that they’ll be offering another device exclusively from Samsung, and that is their impressive Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet. After initially confirming the news, this afternoon AT&T is back sharing all of the details and pricing. You can get your own 4G LTE powered Note 8.0 Friday June 21st, for just $399, and even less with a bundle.
Samsung told us they’d be sending their Galaxy Note 8.0 to AT&T complete with 4G LTE later this month, and now we know you’ll be able to get your own starting Friday. The 8-inch 720p HD display and quad-core powered tablet is impressive already with all the S-Pen stylus features, but add in 4G LTE and you’re set.
You can get your own from AT&T for $399 alongside a new 2-year contract, which is a pretty decent deal considering they aren’t raising the price for the LTE model, as long as you sign a contract. However, the good news is that AT&T will also be offering a bundle deal that surely will make plenty happy. Too bad they didn’t do this for Fathers Day.
If you also pick up Samsung’s new Galaxy S4 flagship smartphone, as a bundle deal AT&T will be offering the Note 8.0 for only $199 and a new 2-year contract, essentially making it half off and a pretty darn good deal. This same bundle applies to those looking to buy the Galaxy S4 Active or the Galaxy Note II. So if you’re getting a Samsung, get the Note 8.0 for half off and enjoy it. More details can be found from the AT&T Blog below.

Leaked photo from Galaxy Note III suggests 13 megapixel camera
As anticipation for the Samsung Galaxy Note III builds up, you can definitely expect more rumors to pop up. The latest leak comes from a picture from a Picasa album with embedded information in the file showing a model of Galaxy Note III, and the picture was uploaded with a 2322 x 4128 resolution. For those of you at home wondering how this proves anything about the camera, that resolution is what a 13 MP camera takes in 16:9 resolution. Nifty, right?
This is essentially the same camera in the Galaxy S 4, which is by no means a bad thing. Hopefully we’ll start to see some rumors fly out about Sammy’s latest phablet, since I’m sure it’s going to be a smash hit over the holidays this year.

Rumor Analysis: Is This The Next Galaxy Camera, The Galaxy NX? Probably, But I Kind Of Hope Not
Samsung has a thing with cameras lately, it seems, and putting Android on them. Or attaching a phone to them. Eventually, I expect we will see the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Camera, the world’s first stylus tablet with a full-frame DSLR attached to the back. Until then, though, we may have to settle for the Galaxy NX – the spiritual successor to Samsung’s not-exactly-lauded Galaxy Camera. Behold its [alleged] massiveness.
These photos were leaked on Vietnamese size Tienthe.vn, and they aren’t without their faults. The screenshots appear to have been added a bit after-the-fact, and either may be the work of the images’ publisher, or an unfinished draft of Samsung’s press renders.

Crayon Physics Deluxe makes its way to the Play Store
Up until now, Crayon Physics Deluxe was only available on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, iOS, and the PC, but it just landed in the Play Store for any Android device 2.2 or higher. This one is a 2D physics puzzle game. Imagine if your drawings could be magically transformed into real objects. That’s exactly what Crayon Physics is all about. You will use your S Pen, stylus, or finger to replicate a crayon to guide a red ball to touch a yellow star. You do this by drawing the solution. You might draw a bridge, a ramp, or even a pulley system. It is your artistic vision that will solve the puzzles.
It’s priced at $2.99, which is much cheaper than what’s offered on iOS. Hit the break for screenshots and download links.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 heads to AT&T with 4G LTE
A few months back Samsung released their WiFi only Galaxy Note 8.0 slate to the market, and now those on AT&T will be able to enjoy it alongside some blazing fast 4G LTE speeds. We saw it hit the FCC so knew it was coming, but this afternoon AT&T has announced the 4G LTE Galaxy Note 8.0 will be exclusively on AT&T later this month.
Samsung’s 8-inch slate is pretty impressive, and of course the stylus gives you all those additional options and features along with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. For more details you’ll want to check out our detailed Galaxy Note 8.0 Review, even though it’s only the WiFi models. The important bits remain the same.
Samsung’s 8.0-inch 720p HD display is beautiful, and the multi-screen modes sure come in handy and will be even more useful while out and about using AT&T 4G LTE. Sadly we knew this was coming, and just wanted a price, release date, and to know if we could make calls with it. None of these questions were answered today.
The international 3G model has full voice functionality. So yes, you can put that massive 8-inch device up to your ear should you choose (not sure who would) but it doesn’t appear the 4G LTE model today will have such features. According to AT&T it will not support phone functions, but we’ll update if we learn more.
Again, no details were released today as far as pricing or a release date. AT&T states it will be available later this month.

AT&T announces plans to exclusively carry the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0
AT&T is adding yet another device to its long roster, with this one being a tablet. It’s the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, an S-Pen equipped device that’ll give you unique Wacom-based input features.
King of Exclusives: AT&T to Carry the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 With LTE
AT&T announced this morning that they will exclusively carry the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 with LTE here in the U.S. at some point in the coming weeks. Yes, another “exclusive” for AT&T. Oh how we love limiting consumer choices! (/s.) As you may recall, the Galaxy Note 8.0 with WiFi arrived in the U.S. back [...]

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 coming to AT&T with LTE coming soon
Samsung are finally bringing a AT&T LTE enabled version of their Galaxy Note 8.0 to the united states, this comes after a while of their only being a WiFi enabled variant of the product. The product will arrive in the states in the up and coming weeks and will be exclusively sold by AT&T, there has been no word on pricing of the product but it won’t come cheap or subsidised.
The Galaxy Note 8.0 has the same 1280 x 800 display as the Note 10.1, the device is also packing a 1.6GHz Exynos 4 Quad core processor. The tablet costs around $399 for the WiFi only version so the LTE enabled version will command a larger price tag. The tablet also comes with an S Pen for more precision usage and the device has a sturdy build quality so you won’t have to wrap it in cotton wool.
The disappointment of this tablet is that they battery life is really bad especially since it’s rivals can get a longer battery life with the same functionality. Especially since the LTE enabled version will be burning through battery life like there’s no tomorrow you might want to invest in an external battery if you’re serious about getting this tablet.

Samsung Galaxy Note 12.2 inch tablet reportedly in the cards
Samsung, in an effort to add more product to the already dizzying aray of variety on hand within their portfolio, is supposedly hard at work on a new 12.2 inch Note Tablet. Could this be the oft-rumored but never seen 11.6 inch tablet they’ve been working on, albeit in le grande size?
With Toshiba currently selling a 13.3 inch tablet, it would only make sense for Samsung to want to get into the game of selling a foot long themselves. And so they will, with the inclusion of a new Galaxy Note 12.2 inch tablet, with an eye popping 2560×1600 resolution screen. Plus, word is (for all you design gurus out there) it’ll come with an S-Pen stylus, unlike Toshiba’s offering.
Bets are on as to how much price will be, but we suspect it’ll slightly undercut the next iPad’s price, which will be its leading competitor. Samsung is likely positioning itself for a release before the new iPad, which should give it an edge, and with a projected lower price point, it should remain in the lead for at least a short while.
With that in mind, rumors of projected sales goals are at least 12 million in the first quarter. It’ll be most interesting to see if Samsung can achieve those targets, and how it is they plan to market the new tablet in a continuously expanding competitor landscape, that is, if it ever comes to light at all.

[One-Day Deal Alert] Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Is Woot’s Daily Sale: $299.99 Refurbished
If $350 for the newer Galaxy Note 8.0 is too much and you’re looking for something a bit bigger anyway, you’d do well to head over to the geek-friendly Woot.com sometime today. They’re offering the 16GB WiFi Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 for $299.99, although it’s a refurbished model. That’s a solid $200 off the retail price, though you can certainly get it for less if you’re prepared to hunt (Amazon has the new 16GB version for $449). As with all regular Woot sales, the tablet is offered today only, and regular shipping to the US is a flat $5.
When Ron Amadeo reviewed the Galaxy Tab 10.1 back in August, he found the software solid (with special emphasis on the apps that take advantage of the Wacom digitizer and S-pen stylus) but the hardware lacking in nearly every category.

Samsung Galaxy Note III, Galaxy Camera II now on the way
The Samsung Galaxy Note III and the Samsung Galaxy Camera II are expected to be part of the Korean tech giant’s busy second half of 2013. New information that backs up the rumors of the impending arrival of the two devices has just been received by the Techtastic blog. In particular, Techtastic had gotten word that Galaxy Note III units have been shipped, albeit in limited quantities, for R&D.
The same phablet is also said to be bound to make an appearance at the Bluetooth Special Interest Group in the near future.
That said, the device’s unveiling will likely not be as early as that of devices like the Samsung Galaxy S IV Zoom. Samsung is believed to be giving consumers their first look at the Zoom, an upcoming camera and smartphone combo, on June 20th during a press event in London. Rather, the phablet may be in line for unveiling during IFA 2013 in Berlin, where Samsung can allow the device to take center stage.
Just last week, the successor to the Note II phablet was likewise seen in Samsung’s official website in Kazakhstan.
Sam Mobile has, for its part, published the possible list of specifications of the Note III. The phablet may sport a 5.99-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display, a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and Adreno 330 GPU. Also onboard are a 13 MP camera, and support for 4G LTE and 802.11ac Wi-Fi connectivity. The Note III will also boast of an improved S-Pen. For its operating system, the phablet may arrive with Android 4.2.2 or 4.3, overlaid with the Samsung TouchWiz interface.
Meanwhile, the same blog reports that the Samsung Galaxy Camera II will feature a 20.9 MP camera sensor.
The Galaxy Camera may join the Galaxy S IV Zoom and the Galaxy S IV LTE-Advanced during the aforementioned June 20 unveiling.

Sony Xperia ZU specs leak, rumored for June 25 unveiling
Specifications of the Sony Xperia ZU have purportedly leaked. The handset has been circulating for some time in the rumor mill as the Sony Togari.
VR-Zone reports that an insider who has knowledge on the matter claims that the Sony Togari will be known as the Sony Xperia ZU. Furthermore, unknown13 says that the name is already final.
The smartphone will allegedly arrive with a 6.44-inch 1080pFull HD display, allowing the device to join the phablet niche. Currently, the Samsung Galaxy Note dominates this category, so the upcoming handset will let Sony compete head-to-head with the Note.
The same display will also feature Triluminous technology, which has been on Sony’s televisions for several years. Panels with triluminous technology supposedly offer more vibrant colors vis-a-vis traditional panels. In addition to this, the Xperia ZU’s display will have the X-Reality Engine image processor. Android Authority, however, notes that as of the moment, there are no Full HD panels with said size available, so this leak might not be a hundred percent credible.
Inside, the smartphone is said to offer a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with an ultra-fast clock speed of 2.3GHz. This processor is expected to be available sometime later this year, so it might take some time for the Xperia ZU to be released, that is, if it will indeed feature the Snapdragon 800.
As for its camera, the main shooter will be an 8 MP one, whereas the sensor on its secondary camera is still unknown.
Lastly, the device is expected to have waterproof and dustproof properties. This feature is not unlikely, as Sony has been promoting such kinds of protection in recent devices.
Meanwhile, an image of a smartphone that is supposedly the Xperia ZU has been making its rounds online. The image shows a kitten balancing on top of a rather large, but quite thin, device.
VR-Zone points out that consumers might get a first look at the Sony Xperia ZU on June 25th, which is the date of a Sony press event in Germany where the company will talk about mobile phones.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 ad highlights all the features at once
Samsung isn’t slowing down with the commercials and ad spots for their products, and in fact, it looks like they’ve learned that showcasing and highlighting features is the best route. Instead of making fun of the competition (which can be funny) their latest set of commercials shows all the features that daily users can enjoy, and this latest Galaxy Note 8.0 video is a prime example.
If you want to know nearly everything about the Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet and what it can do, aside from reading our Note 8.0 Review, this video will explain most of it. Samsung does a pretty excellent job here highlighting everything that makes their slate useful, nice, yet different from the competition.
To be honest the commercial actually makes me want the Galaxy Note 8.0, and most ad spots never really do that for me. From showing off the Airview features, S-Pen stylus support (even on capacitive buttons) the great all-day battery life, taking notes at work, and even enjoying a few books on the train. They cover it all here. Take a peek yourself.
From multi-screen mode with true multitasking and more this video really does touch on many of the key aspects that makes the Note 8.0 different from most slates. Yes it still has Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, but it does much more too. He even uses the Galaxy Note 8.0 and the rear 5 megapixel camera to snap some photos, although it just looks weird holding up a tablet to take a photo. Ending the video off with a casual meet up with his pretty lady friend for a date.
Samsung understands it isn’t just about knocking the competition anymore, since they are at the top. Instead they’re showing us all the benefits of their devices, and what they can do for us, the consumer. Anyone more inclined to buy the Note 8.0 after seeing that?

Sony Xperia L4 Togari to take on Samsung Galaxy Note III?
The Sony Xperia L4 Togari is an unreleased device that is believed to be Sony’s answer to the growing number of phablets in the market. Particularly, it is seen to provide competition against the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
The GizBot blog claims to have gotten information from Sony during the launch of the Xperia Tablet Z in India that the company is indeed preparing the device. According the the unnamed source, the phablet could be announced either during IFA 2013 or next year’s CES.
Earlier rumors suggested that the Sony Xperia L4 Togari would be initially released in China in July. In August or September, it is said to be heading to the international market. This appears to be consistent with GizBot’s information, since the IFA is usually held around such months.
Meanwhile, Techblog.gr has also gotten word that the phablet will have a design similar to the Xperia Z. Inside, it may sport a Snapdragon 600 or Snapdragon 800 CPU working with 2 GB of RAM. On its rear, the device could have a camera with a 13 MP Exmor RS sensor.
Prior to such information, the same phablet was rumored to have 3 (not 2) GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal memory, and MSM8974 krait 800 2.3 GHz processor. Along with the 13 MP Exmor RS camera, it was speculated to sport a 2 mp Full HD Exmor R front camera. Adding to the list is a 3500mAh battery, Adreno 330, NFC, 4G LTE, and IR blaster. For its display, the device is said to use a 6.44-inch IPS screen (JDI) + OptiContrast and MBE-2 with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The phablet is also expected to come with a stylus.
By comparison, the Galaxy Note 3 is speculated to have a 6.3-inch full HD Super AMOLED display, an octa-core CPU, Mali 450 GPU, a main camera with a 13-megapixel sensor, Android 4.3 or 5.0 Key Lime Pie and TouchWiz.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 passes through the FCC with AT&T LTE radio in tow
If a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 with only WiFi isn’t good enough for you, the opportunity to buy an LTE version could be coming soon. The FCC just put their blessing on a version that is packing an 850 / 1900 GSM radio along with LTE Bands 2, 4, 5, and 17. These should work on AT&T’s network.
Now FCC certification doesn’t mean that it will definitely be released or that AT&T will announce a carrier version, but if you’re wishing for an LTE version, there is reason to hope.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 FCC filing reveals AT&T LTE support
Samsung released the WiFi-only Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet in the US market a short while back and judging from this recently discovered FCC filing, it looks like another model may be launching soon. This other is an LTE equipped model and while we have yet to see any release details officially announced, the filing is showing support for the AT&T network. Specifically, the filing details support for the 850 and 1900MHz GSM bands as well as for LTE on bands 2, 4, 5 and 17.
Simply out, this LTE Galaxy Note 8.0 appears headed towards AT&T. Of course, we still need that official announcement which will offer the important details such as the pricing and a release date. In the meantime, aside from the addition of LTE, the specs and features remain the same. As a recap, this means an 8.0-inch tablet with a resolution of 1280 x 800, Jelly Bean with TouchWiz on top and support for the S Pen.
Other goodies include a quad-core 1.6GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, a 4600 mAh battery, microSD card slot, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, IR Blaster, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera and a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera. Some of the software perks users can expect to see include the multi-window mode which will allow you to run multiple apps side by side as well as S Note, Group Play and WatchON which is a TV guide app that pairs with the previously mentioned IR Blaster.
Touching back on the price and while we have yet to see anything for the LTE model, we do have the WiFi-only model for comparison. In this case, the WiFi-only Galaxy Note 8.0 is currently priced at $400. That price may be a bit on the high side given some of the current competition, but time will tell what AT&T has planned for the LTE model.
Otherwise, while we have yet spend any hands-on time with the LTE Galaxy Note 8.0, we have spent some time playing with the WiFi-only model. Those considering a purchase of the cellular model, or even the WiFi-only model may benefit from our previous coverage which includes a hands-on and unboxing as well as a full featured review.

Galaxy Note 8.0 drops by the FCC with AT&T LTE support
Could Samsung's 8-inch, stylus-centric tablet be headed to AT&T?
After last month's Wifi-only launch, it looks like the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 could be making its way to AT&T in the near future. An LTE-capable version of the device carrying the product number SGH-I467 has just passed by the FCC for certification, and it's packing support for LTE bands II, IV, V and XVII. That means it's got all the parts necessary to function on AT&T's 4G LTE network in the U.S.
The Note 8 is essentially an 8-inch tablet composed of Galaxy Note 2 innards. You've got a 1.6GHz quad-core Exynos chip doing the number-crunching, backed up by 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, a 1280×800 display resolution and TouchWiz'd Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. Naturally, the Note 8's FCC appearance precedes any announcement from AT&T, but when it arrives we hope the pricing will be a bit more reasonable than that of the $400 Wifi-only version.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 saunters past FCC with AT&T-friendly LTE
Sure, the only flavor of the Galaxy Note 8.0 currently lining US shelves is the version just packing Wi-Fi, but it appears that the LTE variety is getting ready for a trip stateside. The FCC just inspected a version of the tablet carrying a 850 / 1900 GSM radio along with support for LTE Bands 2, 4, 5 and 17, which are all tell-tale signs of hardware that plays nice with AT&T’s network. For those in need of a refresher, Samsung’s tablet runs Jelly Bean and boasts a 1.6 GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, A-GPS, GLONASS, a hefty 4,600 mAh battery, WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0. With one of the final hurdles for availability on American shores cleared, you’re that much closer to laying your paws on a slate that can moonlight as an unwieldy cellphone.
