An 8-inch tablet-phone hybrid built around Samsung's Exynos 4412 chipset, paired with 2GB RAM and a choice of 16GB or 32GB storage that expands further via microSD up to 64GB. The TFT display runs at 800 x 1280 pixels, which works out to roughly 189 ppi, fine for reading and note-taking but not sharp by today's standards. Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 price in Malaysia starts from RM1246.

Camera specs are modest even for its era: a 5MP rear shooter with autofocus and a 1.3MP front camera, capped at 720p video. It's not a device built for photography, more for productivity and media on a larger screen.

Battery capacity sits at 4600 mAh, non-removable, which is generous for the screen size and helps offset the lower-density display. At 338g and 8mm thick, it's light enough to hold one-handed for short stretches. It ships with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, so software support is long outdated.
