http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/gnote8-lede_620x340.jpgWe knew another Note (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/23/galaxy-note-8-0-mwc-booth/) was coming. After all, Samsung Mobile (http://www.engadget.com/tag/samsung/)head JK Shin confirmed the news (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/21/samsung-galaxy-note-8-at-mwc/) back in January. But here at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the tablet's finally been made official. If you haven't already inferred from its name, Samsung's latest S Pen entry boasts an 8-inch 1,280 x 800 TFT display. That puts it on par with the Note 10.1's (http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/15/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-review/) resolution, although here users will obviously benefit from a more eye-pleasing pixel density (189ppi) and smaller 210.8mm x 135.9mm x 7.95mm (8.3 x 5.4 x 0.31 inches) footprint. Beneath that love it or hate it sealed plastic chassis, lies the company's Exynos 4 Quad (http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/23/samsung-demos-new-32nm-quad-core-exynos-ahead-of-mwc/) processor clocked at 1.6GHz and paired with 2GB RAM, radios for WiFi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS, GLONASS and HSPA+ 21 (850/900/1900/2100MHz), up to 32GB of internal storage (microSD expansion available), in addition to a 4,600mAh battery. And, as with most Android products rolling out as of late, the Note 8.0 will ship with version 4.1.2 of Jelly Bean onboard -- skinned with the requisite TouchWiz UX.
