Impression Design and Materials
As usual , Samsung's design is derived from the previous device . If the design is usually used to have a base of the Galaxy S series , which now appears to be the basis for some future Samsung devices is the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 . The proof , Note 10.1 2014 using a plastic rear cover with finishing as the skin ( leather - like ) complete with accent stitching ( stitching ) on the rim . With white color , a plastic frame with a touch of steel - like surround this tablet . From the front it looks not much different from Note 10.1 in 2013 , although this tablet was once quite small and light for a 10 inch tablet size .
Characteristic of tablets Samsung is South Korean vendors maintain the home button flanked by capacitive buttons for Menu and Back . Quite useful , but when using the tablet capacitive buttons may be affected by your hands often , especially when using the tablet in portrait position . With a narrower bezel than previous Note 10.1 , Note 2014 is made more slender , yet ergonomic impact on the bit rate is reduced , because the screen can be exposed to hands while you're using this tablet . Although using an existing cover touches such as leather , premium feel still less obtained when using Note 10.1 in 2014 , especially when compared to the Apple iPad . But it seems not a problem for most people , the overall use of the tablet is still quite ergonomic , as usual the design Samsung sufficient priority to the convenience of users , with a shape that follows the hand grip .
Ports on both 2014 Note 10.1 micro USB and audio jack open , while the SIM card slot and micro SD adjacent to the right . S - Pen slot that is on the right above cause subtle vibrations when the S - Pen removed from his place . That is quite a relief for multimedia lovers is the presence of a stereo loudspeaker on the right and left side of this tablet , so when watching video in landscape position , stereo layout is correct .
Together with this 2014 Note 10.1 tablet , we also get two units of Capdase smart case , namely the type Sider Elli ( two photos above ) and Ahha Marro ( bottom two photos ) are more affordable . Both of them have a locking system , rubber for Elli and magnetic Sider for Ahha Marro . The second case is very precise in the body of the Galaxy Note 10.1 in 2014 , and including the smart case , screen off when the case is closed and when the case is opened life .
screen
One major difference between 10.1 Note 2014 is a screen version of the previous year . Screen 1280x800 pixels in Note 10.1 2560x1600 pixels multiplied into the 2014 version , so the number of pixels on the screen four times as much . With a width of 10.1 , pixel density reaches 299 pixels per inch , a win away than 10.1 Note ( 149 ppi ) . Compared with iPad Retina ( 264 ppi ) also Note 10.1 in 2014 still wins . When the tablet is arguably just less than the iPad Mini Retina ( 324 ppi ) , though of course the iPad Mini has a smaller screen .
Including a very good screen quality , the hallmark of White Balance with the cool ( bluish ) Samsung style . Saturation, contrast and viewing angles are very good eyesight . Although not Super AMOLED , but the thrill and characteristics of the Notes Super LCD screen with AMOLED similar to 2014 , although for the black level is certainly not a perfect black like an OLED display . Note 2014 screen uses Pentile Matrix preparation , the same as the Super AMOLED screen on the Galaxy Note 3 and S5 . With only two subpixels , for white letters looks a bit empty . But with a screen resolution of 2560x1600 pixels reached , there should be no big deal to the Pentile arrangement . If you do not like the color characteristics of the screen that are defalut using Adapt Display mode , there are three different modes that can be used that is Dynamic , Standard and Movie . In addition, there Reading Mode that optimizes the screen to read , but this mode is only valid for a particular application .
interface
There are a lot of changes and features developed by Samsung Note 10.1 compared to the first . Of course, most of the features that are present to maximize the S - Pen which became the main advantages compared to the Galaxy Note series devices . So many, to the point that chances are you may need a course first in order to optimize the existing features .

The main menu is divided into two , namely Apps and Widgets , and Download . Existing applications can be custom arranged or alphabetically . Both on the homescreen or in the main menu , you can group apps via folders .

There is a Task Manager to terminate an application alias kill . This feature is quite helpful , you can Clear the memory can be done quickly . But of course there are consequences , your data can not be stored .
Samsung did not waste upscale spec on a variety of devices , with features include Multi Windows , which allows two applications running simultaneously . This feature runs quite smoothly , with a few applications that support it such as photo galleries , video players , browsers , etc. Note . Quite easy , by holding the Back button for a few seconds , then on the left of the screen will appear the applications that are ready to run concurrently . Then , select an app icon , drag it to the desired screen . The size of the screen that you can use a drag apps to larger or vice versa .
