Note 8.0 all the way. It`s definitely the best tablet I`ve ever bought. It`s my 6th tablet already (I`m a huge fan of comics and books) and it seems to me it will be with for a long long time. I don`t care about the camera, it`s good enough for me.Buy a good cover protector, a 64 GB SD card, a pendrive connector and a bluetooth headphone, and it`s the ULTIMATE tablet. I`ve read it is on the list of Samsung devices getting the Kit Kat actualization, so it only gets better. 10 stars!! ... that`s until there is a 4G version...
If i had money to burn id get one of the notes just cause i dig that s-pen, but they really need to work on the feel of all their devices. Also thinking about getting a Tab 2 for a remote.
Thanks a lot for the video. It really helped me clear my mind as to which tablet I'm going to get. Really informative and well weighed video. Thanks again.
I already have the Galaxy Note 2 and I'm very satisfied with this "phablet." It does everything I need to and in combination with my laptop, a real tablet is unnecessary. However I am looking at getting one and the Tab 3 will do just fine. I love going on RUclips on my phone so a even bigger screen would be even better (Im use to this size as it is) Also itd be cool to have both devices for specific tasks. Have all my Music on the Tab, video chat, Live Stream, email, just having a little fun.
I have owned the note 8.0 for 2 years and its so nice for taking notes, watching videos, and playing demanding games! The battery is very good for such powerful insides.
The major dealbreaker for the Tab is that it uses a dual-core cpu (Exynos 4212 - 1.5 GHz) VS. Note's quad-core cpu (Exynos 4412 - 1.6 GHz). The difference is $100, but to buy a stylus for the Tab costs about $25 and so that leaves another $75 difference. So is having a device with total 6.4 GHz in CPU power over 3.0 GHz worth the $75 difference.. the answer in my mind is a resounding yes ! You want a device that will be able to handle future software such as pages that are built in HTML 5 without taking forever to load..and thus Note would be the way to go.
If you go into camera settings on tab you can remove that purple tint, In camera settings click white balance,- fluorescent/incandescent etc click one more suiting to the environment.
Respeect to all Pocketnow guys, but Michael make amazing reviews. I have S4 but i watch his videos about S4 still today. They interasting like first time i was watching.
I don't think it's "which one is better", more than it should be "which one is more useful to me". I use the Note 8.0 to fill in math PDF notes, do homework and save paper, take down quick notes in class. All that plus I have a media device to use in my spare time in school. The Tab isn't nearly as useful to me since it doesn't have the stylus. This is a Wacom stylus so it's like writing on paper. Really great device, still love it after a year and a half of owning it.
I have Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 - its running smooth and has all the features that I need. Some other reviewer stated that battery life on Tab8 is about an hour longer than Note8. As far as I see it: if you need the SPen (a lot of handwriting and drawing) go for the Note. I don't.
Anyone know if a new model of the Galaxy note will be coming out soon? Or should I just buy the one that's out right now? I don't know how long I'll have to wait for the next one, if there is a next one.
I just bought my Galaxy Tab 3 8.0. What can I say? I love it! A Great Tablet for any user, the 189 PPI seems low, but trust me, the display is amazing.
any device can hook up on wifi only there is a note 8 wifi model only. you can check things out on best buy website to get full specs or compare them side by side
I'm using note 8. Its very satisfying gadget with reasonable price. Medium performance all in all and serve its purposes very well as a 'note' for a college student like me.
If someone has the interest for android like I do, reading reviews becomes really fun and exiting for all new phones. After a while, 1 company becomes your favorite. For me, HTC and Samsung are, I got an s4 because i loved the s2. Next I get will be HTC.
If I just want a simple and light tablet for watching movies on, playing games on, which one should I get? I'm still a student though so I don't have much money.
Exactly, they would have to optimise it for every single screen and device, you get all different sizes and different powered devices. This is why all the apps work on iOS and none of them have stupid borders or glitch out. They all just work, and if iOS 7 has all of the android features I might just be changing over from Android.
Just got my note 8 cellular Ver. and it runs very smooth . For those hu is thinking which to take take note 8 their specs is almost the same just spend a bit more n get a more useful tablet
I got the Note 8.0 3G international version that can make and receive calls. I love it. Its way better than the boring and outdated low resolution iPad Mini
That's a different point of view, but i understand :) I own iPhone & iPad too, but for other reasons. Nexus is always a safe bet and I'll buy the upcoming Nexus 5, to see if it can stack up with my current Apple devices.
I've got a tab 3 8.0 its awesome but when I bought it they said we'll install Norton anti_virus i said that would be good But they installed too much stupid apps that after 2 weeks idid a format then my friend gave me a note 8.0 on my birthday I will sell one of these which do you think I should sell? Please replay :)
Sending my Tab3 back for repair service. If the $150 price tag seem daunting it is.Samsung service warranty more than make up for deficiencies. I like my tablet everything electronic has some drawbacks, "I ain't here to make friends."
I agree with you, but I now prefer Android after switching from an iPhone 5 to a Galaxy S4. I think that as long as you choose a very popular Android device (for example a GS4 or Nexus 4) you're less likely to have to cope with the disadvantages of Android.
I was hooked on the Galaxy Tab 3 but now I'm not so sure. It's not so much to do with the S-Pen but more to do with the faster processor and more RAM; it will make things much faster. Though I think I prefer the design of the Galaxy Tab...
Note 8 is cool! I have my note 8 since june 16..day by day im enjoying it than the ipad mini of my sister..I can write,all my ideas, feelings, story of my life, using snote or anote hd, read lots of books from ebook, watch movies in 8.0 inch screen..I can draw whatever I want..for me is the best phone and tab I ever had..two thumbs up note8! For me, its worth it to have note 8.. You can maximize your GALAXY NOTE 8, YOU CAN DO EVERYTHING IN IT..
I've got a nexus 5 , so i'm going to get the tab 8.0 because I will only use it for reading, browsing, watching videos and playing casual games, my nexus 5 will be used for hardcore games due to it's snapdragon 800 quad core processor

In design.. TAB 3 8.0 is better..
In SPECIFICATIONS.. THE NOTE 8.0 IS BETTER LOOK AT THIS:-
Note 8.0:- 1.6 Quad Core, 2GB Ram, 5MP Camera,32/16GB, STYLUS S PEN
TAB 3 8.0:- 1.5 DUAL Core, 1.5GB Ram, 5mp camera, 16/32 GB, No stylus pen.
If i had money to burn id get one of the notes just cause i dig that s-pen, but they really need to work on the feel of all their devices. Also thinking about getting a Tab 2 for a remote.
I am interested - what kind of camera model do you use for recording videos? Also how do you record motions in 3D?
Dude you do the best reviews of gadgets/tech on RUclips. Keep up the good work, by providing in depth analysis.
holly molly... good review...
respect to how fast you talk... and to the great camera angles...
very dynamic !!!
8:38 almost make it to the bloopers section :D Great Video as usual Michael!
Thanks a lot for the video. It really helped me clear my mind as to which tablet I'm going to get.
Really informative and well weighed video.

NICE VIDEO DUDE AND YOUR GLASSES ARE AWESOME
Great video Michael, your videos always make my day :)
This is nice cool review ever, comparing and guide to chooce which One suit your need. Nice Mike..
Great comparison! I was looking at the tab 3 but now I think I will check out the note 8

Do you understand how processors work?
What are you trying to get at ?
clock rates do not stack based on the ammount of cores.
great review made me change my mind about tab 3...thanx
Hello can i ask u, what pen do u use for glaxy tab 3 :) thankyou so much
If you go into camera settings on tab you can remove that purple tint, In camera settings click white balance,- fluorescent/incandescent etc click one more suiting to the environment.
Hi. Just curious on how much you got the 3G version. I want one too :)
You guys are so good!
Era justo lo que buscaba, gracias.
Great review. Thanks
Respeect to all Pocketnow guys, but Michael make amazing reviews. I have S4 but i watch his videos about S4 still today. They interasting like first time i was watching.
wasnt the s pen added later to tab 3 due to complaints?
great i love your videos Michael
Hi BJ! I got my Note 8.0 3G international version at eBay for $489.00 I love it.
When will be the weekly podcast?
Helpful Review!

outstanding review of both devices...thanks
What is the price of the tab 2 in the us?
Hi guys. Do you do a comparison with note 10.1 and tab 3 10.1?
Great comparison!
Can you use the S pen from the Samsung note 3 on the tab 3 8.0?
The tab 3 doesn't have the doodle feature?
I don't think it's "which one is better", more than it should be "which one is more useful to me". I use the Note 8.0 to fill in math PDF notes, do homework and save paper, take down quick notes in class. All that plus I have a media device to use in my spare time in school.

What are your thoughts on the Hisense Sero 7 Pro
Works the s pen on the samsung galaxy tab 3 8.0?
what application is that black widget?
Does the note 8 have a torch?
Ruby Kyle if u download minecraft onto it and make one lol
If you mean a flashlight than yes!
Am I the only one wincing at the multiple 'glamor shots' of these devices laid down on rough concrete and brick?
So glad ive jus ordered d samsung note 8.0 now was i was undecided between tab 3 n note :-) thank u guys for helpin me make up my mind :-D
I have Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 - its running smooth and has all the features that I need. Some other reviewer stated that battery life on Tab8 is about an hour longer than Note8. As far as I see it: if you need the SPen (a lot of handwriting and drawing) go for the Note. I don't.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but screens are measured from corner to corner, so two 8 inch devices would be the same? Right?
Hi ! Noce review ! Just one question, I would like to know if the S-pen works also with the Galaxy TAB 3 ?!
no it doesnt work cuz my sister gas the black samsung and i have the note and when i try to use my pen on hers it diesnt work
Ok thank you for the answer Zara ;)
is there a diff btw styles and general pen ??
you can make a call on Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 N5120 right?
Anyone know if a new model of the Galaxy note will be coming out soon? Or should I just buy the one that's out right now? I don't know how long I'll have to wait for the next one, if there is a next one.
I bought note n5100, i watched this video 2Months ago and from then i had this in my head... But now i finally bought it :D
I just bought my Galaxy Tab 3 8.0. What can I say? I love it!
A Great Tablet for any user, the 189 PPI seems low, but trust me, the display is amazing.
What is the price of the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 in the US?
are those computer glasses? i like them a lot, where can i get a pair?
Thank you for your great review, but in 4:43 when LAG shows there the reviewer was installing apps, which is fine !!
With the update on the note 8 the battery life sucks. I hope they fix it.
Galaxy note 8 has the edge in any of the aspect, clear winner, for me, thanks michael, you really make whatching videos enjoyable
thanks for this vs, i think i'll wait for the next nexus tablet
any device can hook up on wifi only there is a note 8 wifi model only. you can check things out on best buy website to get full specs or compare them side by side
I like my tab 7.0 everybody has their own opinion at the end of the day so going back and foward is dumb
Its fun to see two Samsung Tablets in the Same video.
Verizon have the note 3 available on 4g?
What tablet would you guys recommend just for reading books or textbooks that is run by android? I hate my kindle fire 8.9.
It's usually Wednesday or Thursday of each week; this week it'll be Thursday. ^MF
7:08 was i the only one AFRAID that the Tab might actually fall
I'm using note 8. Its very satisfying gadget with reasonable price. Medium performance all in all and serve its purposes very well as a
'note' for a college student like me.
If someone has the interest for android like I do, reading reviews becomes really fun and exiting for all new phones. After a while, 1 company becomes your favorite. For me, HTC and Samsung are, I got an s4 because i loved the s2. Next I get will be HTC.
thanks i was wondering what the difference between the two were besides price. Ill be getting the note 8.0
If I just want a simple and light tablet for watching movies on, playing games on, which one should I get? I'm still a student though so I don't have much money.
You're really great!
spen preferred, i also like the thickness of the edges of the note 8.0 for holding it, after reviewing tab instore.
nice comparison
Exactly, they would have to optimise it for every single screen and device, you get all different sizes and different powered devices. This is why all the apps work on iOS and none of them have stupid borders or glitch out. They all just work, and if iOS 7 has all of the android features I might just be changing over from Android.

it's help me to make a decision wisely..I will buy Note 8.0, thanks for good review.
I got the Note 8.0 3G international version that can make and receive calls. I love it. Its way better than the boring and outdated low resolution iPad Mini
Can i buy a spen for my tab and will it be usefull??
no you can by a stylus
I have a galaxy tab 3 7.0....Excellent tablet for 199. I'd recommend it over any other tablet for the same price.
Yeah :) And thanks for the reply. You guys are awesome!
That's a different point of view, but i understand :)
I own iPhone & iPad too, but for other reasons. Nexus is always a safe bet and I'll buy the upcoming Nexus 5, to see if it can stack up with my current Apple devices.
It looks scary how the tablets are just chilling there outside.. leaning to rusty pillars etc :D
Nice ship, Michael!
I've got a tab 3 8.0 its awesome but when I bought it they said we'll install Norton anti_virus i said that would be good
But they installed too much stupid apps that after 2 weeks idid a format then my friend gave me a note 8.0 on my birthday I will sell one of these which do you think I should sell? Please replay
:)
the nexus 10 is not a galaxy, but it is one of samsung's best tablets. that display is just amazing
Sending my Tab3 back for repair service. If the $150 price tag seem daunting it is.Samsung service warranty more than make up for deficiencies. I like my tablet everything electronic has some drawbacks, "I ain't here to make friends."
to jessica Mckinney it is a very good upgrade you can get it for 320 on amazon
is atom supposed to be faster than exynos?
I agree with you, but I now prefer Android after switching from an iPhone 5 to a Galaxy S4. I think that as long as you choose a very popular Android device (for example a GS4 or Nexus 4) you're less likely to have to cope with the disadvantages of Android.
why doesnt the tablet support sim for data or calls and sms
I'd be so scared trying to set up those tablets @ 7:03 lol
Note 8 is way better of course! the Note can do whatever the tab can while the Tab simply cant.
if i buy styles touch pen could it work in Tab 3 ??
I was hooked on the Galaxy Tab 3 but now I'm not so sure. It's not so much to do with the S-Pen but more to do with the faster processor and more RAM; it will make things much faster. Though I think I prefer the design of the Galaxy Tab...

You can maximize your GALAXY NOTE 8, YOU CAN DO EVERYTHING IN IT..
I've got a nexus 5 , so i'm going to get the tab 8.0 because I will only use it for reading, browsing, watching videos and playing casual games, my nexus 5 will be used for hardcore games due to it's snapdragon 800 quad core processor
I have a note 8.0 and in my opinion its better than the ipad 2!
