Samsung has announced the launch of GALAXY Note 10.1 2014 Edition in Singapore. The GALAXY Note 10.1 2014 Edition represents an original approach to balancing productivity, powerful content creation and consumption in an extremely thin and light tablet device.

“The new GALAXY Note 10.1 2014 Edition comes with a crystal clear 10-inch display, delivering fantastic viewing and multitasking experiences. It is another demonstration of Samsung’s focus on constant product innovation to ensure that we continue to meet consumer interests,” said Irene Ng, Vice President, Marketing, Samsung Asia Pte Ltd.

“The GALAXY Note 10.1 2014 Edition unites a range of features that will consistently surprise consumers as they realise how much easier and more enjoyable it makes their everyday lives.”

The new GALAXY Note 10.1 2014 Edition expands on the advanced productivity and creativity leadership delivered by the original Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1.

In addition to enabling productivity, the device has been redesigned with a sleek, light, slim frame that is both fashionable and portable. New design characteristics, like a soft and textured touch-back cover with delicate stitching, inspire a sense of elegance and sophistication.

Richer Viewing Experience on a Crystal Clear 10.1″ Display

The large, bright and crystal clear screen delivers four times the pixel density of the original GALAXY Note 10.1, providing a premium content viewing experience.

The Magazine style UX allows users to organise their favourite content in an easy-to-use dashboard with a stylish reading experience. Whether watching videos or reading magazines and e-books, the new GALAXY Note 10.1 2014 Edition provides an immersive media consumption experience.

Enhanced Multi Window for Efficient Multitasking

The device’s screen size also enables enhanced multitasking. With Enhanced Multi Window, users will be able to run separate instances of the same application, and use an enhanced S Pen to Drag & Drop content from one window to another conveniently.

Pen Window enables users to simply draw a window on the screen, and instantly access another application window such as YouTube™, calculator or Browser without pausing current activity on the screen.

Improved S Pen and S Note Functionality for an Intuitive User Experience

The enhanced S Pen included with GALAXY Note 10.1 2014 Edition improves responsiveness, delivers day-to-day efficiency enhancements and produces more creative input capabilities. The tablet also includes GALAXY Note 3’s new S Pen features which are Air Command, Action Memo, Scrapbooker, Screen Write, S Finder and Pen Window.

Combined with the tablet’s larger screen, these enhanced S Pen capabilities present users with unique and creative opportunities and the space to explore them.

Action Memo allows users to handwrite a note, and automatically execute a function or convert that handwritten information into formatted content. Action Memo can instantly initiate a call, add to contacts, look up an address on a map, search the web, save a task to a to-do list, and more.

With the new Scrapbook¹ feature, users can easily select any interesting content with the S Pen and organise it into individualised scrapbooks, creating a log of discussion points for a future work conversation, a wish list for new clothes or a home redesign project, or a personal favourites list.

S Note has been upgraded with a more intuitive, easy-to-use interface. Users will have the ability to use the S Pen to take handwritten notes. With Easy Chart, you can create formal charts and graphs easily within the new S Note. The new S Note can also be synced with Evernote or a Samsung account and be enabled for accessing and viewing from different devices.
