The tablet comes pre-loaded with Android 4.1.2 and a 4,600 mAh battery fuels the device.
The Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update will bring along a number of new features and improvements to the Galaxy Note 8.0. The newer version of the software improves on the speed and simplicity of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The update also features an all new Photo Sphere and redesigned camera app for a better picture taking experience.
Android 4.2 Jelly Bean for Galaxy Note 8.0 will also feature battery power level and toggle menu in the status bar, improved task switching, an updated keyboard and many small bug fixes and refinements. In the TouchWiz UX, users will also find a number of new features such as improved launcher, weather widget and new lock screen with widgets support similar to what is seen in the Samsung Galaxy S4.
The software update will also bring the popular Daydream functionality, which “allows apps to display interactive screensavers – like a photo album or a Currents stream when your tablet or phone isn’t being used,” according to Android.
