Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 could come with high resolution screen and powerful graphics
Galaxy Note 10.1 is probably the most anticipated tablet in 2012 for stylus lovers, and Samsung knows that, delaying the tablet just to make sure they can fit a proper quad-core processor in it that will be able to handle the screen digitizer and, hopefully hand writing recognition, without breaking a sweat (Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet has this feature).
A new leak now suggest a very powerful graphic core, the Mali T-604, more capable than any Android device to date. This can only mean a high-resolution screen, not the 1280 x 800 px display we’ve seen at MWC back in February. If this info is true it means Samsung finally has a tablet that can compete in 2012 with the top Android slates (see a comparison here). And it might even compete with the new iPad in terms of gaming power, an activity that consumers seem to enjoy more and more on their slate tablets (including yours truly).
The only question that remains right now is how much the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 will end up costing? It’s clear to me that the Galaxy Note 10.1 could be an extremely important tablet for professional users, but if the price is too high I don’t see it making too many friends. A $500-550 selling price for the 32 GB version would make sense to me, but anything higher is dangerous for Samsung.

I’m a professional and would very happily pay $700-750, especially if it has 2gb of RAM.
Samsung didn’t say anything about 2GB RAM, so it’s better to expect 1 GB for now
It wouldn’t be wise for Samsung to opt for 1GB RAM.
They are targeting this device at creatives and business people. Artists and designers have one basic need and that is lots of RAM. Try creating a professionally sized canvas with just 1GB of RAM – it just isn’t possible. The larger the canvas the slower the art app responds, but add another Gig of RAM and everything becomes faster again.
2GB of RAM is fundamental to this tablet’s creative viability.
Well, I hope the Note 10.1 will come with 2GB RAM, but that’s going to affect two things: price and battery life. I just hope Samsung takes everything into account.
The uprated Exynos chip will happily address 2GB of RAM, so it’s not out of the question…
I’ll just call it open-memory(RAM) technology meaning, it’s open to how much ram memory you can add typically via the normal route like SD card memory expansion or the typical ram upgrade route.
That would be dream-come-true for Graphic Artists, Designers and Fine Artists all over.
Aint that nice folks? Make it a reality.
And as i commented & suggested on this site & other websites->hundreds or thousands of pressure sensitivity is a dream-come-true.
The reason is pretty obvious. To get minute details as possible for the most realistic rendering, whether landscapes or portraits.
By the way, i own a Sony Tablet S w/ 16GB HDD. I’m still waiting for that ground-breaking Android App that match or exceeds the capability of the S pen from Samsung Galaxy Note. If Samsung Galaxy adapts it to their bigger size tablets w/ higher resolution and upgradeable ram memory. Then you can surely say that i will be one among the new converts.
Go ahead w/ your plans Samasung. I’m sure it will be a smash hit. If, if you can deliver the technology.
