Review on Samsung Galaxy Note 10 1 Black by Obhed Mac

Revainrating 5 out of 5

All in all a very solid tablet with nothing to complain about (yet)

Overall I am very happy with this purchase. I can't say much bad. I bought the open version about 6 months before writing this review. Pros: It's got lots of RAM, so it's a lot faster than my old Barnes and Noble Nook HD+ that I lost on a plane (why would I even care). I can write and draw and it looks very good. However, still try to find a good magazine app. I'm glad I chose this stylus version. The pen also has a button that lets you take a screenshot of what you're looking at and write notes on it. Super comfortable. It will then be saved as an image which you can access from the gallery. I wish it was an app designed to organize these things, but it's still useful. The 10 inch size is really good. With it, you can read PDF books that you might not be able to read on smaller tablets. The freebie is actually very useful. 1 year free use of Evernote. I think there are free subscriptions to DropBox, NYT, Bloomberg, etc - I had no problem playing 1080p videos. - There are many other great things about this tablet that don't immediately come to mind. "Looks like if you choose to go that route, it can be hacked. The cameras seem decent enough, but I haven't used them much. — I don't think I had any problems with this tablet. - I don't use the multitasking multi-window thing, but when I do it's useful (think: read on one half of the tablet, take notes on the other). Cons: - I didn't have to contact support for this product, but my experience with warranty returns and other support with Samsung in general has been terrible. You're pretty much alone when you fix something. Don't expect them to redeem the guarantee without much of a fight. Keep in mind that given the size, this has some weight. Don't expect to keep it aloft for a few hours while watching a movie. Get a good case with a built-in kickstand. I have a rooCase and am mostly happy with it. There should be a "sleep" mode to save battery power. It takes far too long to turn on and off, and simply putting it on airplane mode still drains the battery faster than I'd like. The charger has a good amount of balls. They also release another version that has better battery life but has some flaws in other areas.

Pros
  • So far so good
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
