Samsung announced today the launch of the GALAXY Note 10.1 – an extension of the GALAXY Note category – in Singapore. The GALAXY Note 10.1 is outfitted with the functionality and precision of a pen and paper on a 10.1-inch large display, which opens endless possibilities to elevate a user’s creativity, productivity, and learning ability.

Designed to simplify idea capture, information access, and multi-tasking, the GALAXY Note 10.1 allows users to express their ideas naturally and efficiently.

“GALAXY Note 10.1 expands Samsung’s dedication to delivering products to offer a complete mobile experience for creating personalized and expressive content,” said Miss Irene Ng, Vice President, Marketing, Samsung Asia Pte Ltd. “History has shown that taking notes, capturing ideas immediately, and sketching to realize them is the most personal and natural method to be productive and creative in their tasks. The advanced technology and features included in GALAXY Note 10.1 give users the power to produce, create and customize communications.”

The GALAXY Note 10.1 incorporates key intuitive features and capabilities such as side-by-side multitasking with the ‘Multi Screen’ on a 10.1-inch large screen; Samsung’s unique S Pen experiences, with a variety of S Note templates and productive tools (Shape Match and Formula Match); Learning Hub for accessing educational curricula and Adobe’s premium creative application Photoshop® Touch for easy photo editing on-the-go.

With a 1.4GHz quad-core processor and 2 GB RAM, the Galaxy Note 10.1 can handle all the above without missing a beat.

True Multi-Tasking with Multi Screen feature

With its Multi Screen feature, users can effortlessly utilize two different applications side-by-side simultaneously for true and easy multitasking. Users can view Web pages, videos, or launch other applications while writing or sketching ideas with the S Pen on the other half of the screen.

Furthermore, users can freely capture and crop images, and paste them onto the other screen to make personal notes and enhance their creativity, productivity and learning abilities. The Multi Screen feature increases productivity and efficiency while users are enjoying multimedia content. The GALAXY Note 10.1 brings a new culture of creation through the user’s own notes, and creates an entirely new experience to improve productivity and enjoyment.

The GALAXY Note 10.1 also offers the Pop Up Play feature first introduced on the GALAXY S III Smartphone. With it, users can play back videos in a floating window that can be overlaid anywhere on the screen, providing a “picture in picture” experience. New for the GALAXY Note 10.1 is the ability to adjust the size of the video window.

In addition, GALAXY Note 10.1 offers a mini-apps tray that can launch a selection of mini-app on top of others apps and freely moved around the screen. These include Alarm, S Note, Music Player, Email, Calculator, World Clock.

S Pen & S Note for Personalized and Organized Note-taking

The GALAXY Note 10.1 redefines productivity with the advanced 6.5 mm S Pen input on a 10.1-inch display.
Featuring the advanced S Pen, GALAXY Note 10.1 is optimized for the creation of personalized and expressive content in the most natural and intuitive way.

The S Pen’s feel and functionality are specifically designed for an optimal experience on the 10.1-inch screen. The S Pen is embedded directly in the device and, when removed, automatically launches specially optimized applications, including the preloaded Adobe® Photoshop® Touch, S Note, S Planner, Crayon physics and Polaris™ Office.

In addition, users can easily set their preferred application to be launched instantly. For example, S Note is activated instantly when a user takes the S Pen out from the device. Users can tap the screen twice, while pressing the S Pen button for quick S Note access via the S Note dedicated widget, which can be easily moved anywhere on the display, never hindering or obstructing users’ creativity or productivity.

The S Note is a unique tool that gives users the ability to combine notes and sketches with other digital content in ready-to-use templates. Shape Match and Formula Match features help correct and digitize geometric shapes and solve numeric formulas hand-written with the S Pen. S Note is also integrated with knowledge search engines so that users can search, obtain information, and easily drag and drop content onto S Notes without having to switch between screens.

Adobe Photoshop Touch – Edit Photos Like Never Before

Adobe® Photoshop® Touch, normally a SGD 13.49 purchase, is preloaded on the GALAXY Note 10.1. Further, since it is optimized for S Pen, users are able to control brush size and opacity by just adjusting the pressure of the pen on the screen.

“Samsung’s GALAXY Note 10.1, with its pressure-sensitive S Pen, truly unleashes the power of Adobe Photoshop Touch and provides a great tool for creative expression,” said Vicky Skipp, Managing Director, Adobe Southeast Asia. “More than ever, people in Singapore and around the world want to create, wherever and whenever inspiration strikes. We look forward to seeing what they imagine with the S Pen and Photoshop Touch.”

Users can also use popular Photoshop features such as layers, selection tools, adjustments, and filters to create mind-blowing images, or use the high quality GALAXY Note 10.1 camera to fill an area on a layer with the unique camera fill feature. With Photoshop Touch, it is also a snap to add or remove people or objects from a photo, or blend two photos together.

To get users started quickly, in-depth step-by-step tutorials are provided to help users learn techniques the pros use for great-looking results.

Active Learning Experience

The GALAXY Note 10.1 is an ideal learning tool that allows users to take notes directly on an eTextbook while watching lectures, or research the Web while writing an essay at the same time. Samsung Learning Hub service is optimized for GALAXY Note 10.1, allowing users to access extensive multimedia educational content for all ages, accessible up to six devices per user.

The content includes eTextbooks, video lectures, interactive coaching and much more, shareable with multiple Samsung devices.

In Singapore, Learning Hub will also feature upcoming interesting educational content from local developers – B-Secure Technologies, iQ-Hub, Prep Zone, and Skoolbo– including:

• PREPTEST Series: standardized self-assessment modules and admission guidelines for GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test), SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) and more
