We found this particularly frustrating during our train commutes where the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) suffered at the hands of not only light coming in through the windows, but the train’s interior lights.
The tablet’s maximum brightness excels in dim to moderately-lit environments, but you will see your reflection floating around a lot of the time if your environment is any more illuminated. Blacks are deep, which is great for media-heavy usage.Īs with most tablets, though, the highly-reflective surface really struggles in managing both direct natural and artificial light. Text is super-crisp and ideal for long-term reading. It produces bright, vibrant and accurate colours, and has excellent viewing angles. It’s a 10.1in display with a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels, giving it 299 pixels per inch (PPI), and essentially doubling up from its predecessor’s 1280x800-pixel resolution. The new Galaxy Note 10.1’s screen ticks most of the right boxes. The top also has the infrared sensor, and the left has the headphone port. We would have liked to see either physical buttons in place of these (like was seen on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active smartphone) or a palm-recognition system.Īt the top-left side, you can see the power and volume buttons. And although the ‘menu’ and ‘back’ touch buttons have become somewhat of a Samsung trademark, they are prone to accidental presses when rotating the device and during gameplay. The power, volume up and down, and home buttons (which sit on the top left-hand side of the frame) are far too easy to press accidentally, triggering unintentional activations. The major pitfall behind the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) is both its physical and touch buttons they get in the way a lot. We did notice some creaking when holding the unit and applying pressure to the central area of the rear, as well as the top-right edge along which the S Pen sits. The Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) is reasonably sturdy, but it’s still a device which you won’t want to drop we can’t imagine it surviving any sort of fall onto a hard surface. Practically, the grooves and bumps make the device much easier to grip, particularly with one hand.

Visually, it gives the tablet a professional look and minimises the visibility of fingerprints and scratches. The non-removable back cover of the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) has a textured finish which imitates leatherette, fake stitching included. The 10.1in screen is enclosed in a glossy bezel, with a grooved silver finish running along the edges of the unit. Samsung’s design overhaul introduces an attractive piece of hardware that weighs 543g. Its appearance simply couldn’t compete beside the likes of a shiny fourth generation Apple iPad. While aesthetics are a matter of preference, we maintain that the original Galaxy Note 10.1 was a boring slate it had a cheap, dated look which made it look like a flimsy piece of white plastic.
