According to reports, two Samsung products are getting a lot of attention. The first is the Galaxy Note 8.0 tablet which many say will be Samsung’s answer to Apple’s iPad mini. According to this report on SamMobile, the Galaxy Note 8.0 will come with a screen resolution of 1,280 x 800, a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, a 1.3-megapixel front camera, 2GB RAM and either 32GB or 64GB of flash storage.
