Friends who may be familiar with the smart terminal industry should understand that the iPhone is the most outstanding product on the planet, and its every move has been imitated. Regardless of the iPhone’s naming, shape, craftsmanship, etc., it all represents the next generation. The standard for a generation of mainstream smartphones. After Apple launched the iPad in due course, various Android manufacturers also quickly followed up. Among them, we take Samsung as an example (because Samsung is an important representative of Android in these products and is qualified to (Compared with Apple), how is the performance of Samsung's tablet? Today we will take a look at the hands-on experience of Samsung GALAXY Note10.1.

Hardware:

When I got Note 10.1, it was difficult for me to find the difference between it and Tab2 10.1 There is an obvious difference, but it seems that Samsung does not think so. Instead, it still uses this design and enjoys it. Although Apple mentioned several times in the long and smelly lawsuit with Samsung that this design is too similar to the iPad, Samsung did not think so. Moved. As for different designs, I guess the dual speakers on the front panel and the gray screen frame on Note 10.1 can be considered.

But unfortunately, the body of GALAXY Note 10.1 is entirely made of plastic, and its resistance to fingerprints and oil stains is average. Therefore, you will spend $500, but what you get is a It feels the same as a tablet picked up from the ground. Compared with the previous one, the workmanship of the Nexus 7, which is only $199, is in sharp contrast to the 10.1.

There is a memory card slot, volume keys, power button and headphone jack on the side. Of course, there is also the so-called USB socket, which is the same length as the ubiquitous 30-pin socket on Apple devices. However, this interface from Samsung can only be used on tablet products, so its adaptability is very poor. If you want to use this tablet, you will find that you have to run around the world with this cord every day.

Next let’s talk about the pen equipped with Note 10.1. Samsung has designed a very convenient slot for its Note. The slot is very smart at the bottom of the right side of the tablet. The moment you pull out the pen, you can hear the system beep. However, I did not find the exclusive application icon customized for this pen on Note 10.1.

The weight of the pen is not large, so useIt won't be too burdensome to use. The pen is equipped with a dedicated button, which has different functions in different programs. At the same time, the pen stroke technology of Note 10.1 is provided by Wacom, with 1024 horizontal pressure, which is excellent in terms of perception and sensitivity.

Operation pen:

This pen provided by Samsung has excellent smoothness and accuracy, and is in use I found his sensitivity to pressure to be astonishing. For tablets that are generally operated with fingers, the stylus can provide us with a different feeling, very precise touch and extremely fine touch traces.

At the system level, Samsung’s pen can provide users with a very smart operating experience and is more precise than finger touch. Of course, you can seamlessly switch between your finger and pen, and the whole process is very natural. All in all, the function of the pen is very outstanding. You may not put it down even if you hold it. However, in terms of software, Note 10.1 has some problems compared to the previous Note. On the previous Note, you could switch to full-screen handwriting by clicking a button on the input method. However, this function has been canceled on Note 10.1, which means that you It is not convenient to switch between English input and handwriting. Of course this is a minor issue and will not affect the user experience.

In terms of software, S Note is a very good application. It not only allows you to draw on it, but also recognizes the words, numerical formulas and basic shapes you input by hand. You can even try to use a weird formula to calculate an answer. This function is available in S Note, and of course it requires system recognition of the formula.

At the same time, Samsung Note 10.1 is also bundled with the mobile version of Photoshop software, which will make your ability to modify photos more professional. Although this software can also be used on other Android tablets and mobile phones, it is really suitable for using a pen to operate, especially when modifying details. But it’s a pity that the Note 10.1’s camera is too bad to take good photos, so I’d better use other photos to modify them. The whole feel of the pen is great, and now all I need to do is wait for that killer application to help the pen perform even better. So this is also a potential business opportunity for those software developers.

System:

Although GALAXY Note 10.1 uses Android 4.0 system, due to the Touchwiz UX interface loaded, you can’t tell that it is Android at all. It feels like, in fact, this is a skin, but it has completely subverted the native operation of Android.

Like GALAXY S III, Note 10.1 also incorporates natural elements, including sounds, images, animations, etc. Samsung still uses its own programs to replace Google's original programs. For example, Gmail was replaced by Samsung's own email software. There are many such situations on zaiNote 10.1. Compared to Chrome, Samsung is still using a relatively backward browser, just like previous Samsung phones. The calendar part was replaced by Samsung S Planner, just like the broken calendar program on Apple phones.

Samsung has not made any feature changes on Touchiwiz in Note 10.1, but Samsung has customized a small program menu for Note to float at the bottom of the screen. This is a bit like Mac’s floating menu. You can Add various programs to it, such as calculator, Always, S Note, music player, etc. Any program can be dragged from this shortcut menu to the home screen to open and zoom in, which is very convenient.

Performance test:

Although the GALAXY Note 10.1 is equipped with a 1.4GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of memory, it is not as smooth as I imagined. The overall operation feels delayed, especially when switching pages, and even once or twice, when turning on the screen under a black screen, I obviously felt that the machine paused. For Nexus 7, Note 10.1 is far less smooth than the former.

Actual experience shows that the effect of GALAXY Note 10.1 is indeed not good. After opening two programs and entering the background, closing the screen and then turning it on to unlock will cause obvious visual delays, especially in the input method. Of course, when you use it, it is obviously impossible to have only two programs, so the operation of Note is what worries me the most.

In the actual running test, the first quadrant test was around 5000, butAfter one day of use, the score dropped to more than 3,700. After repeated testing, it finally reached 4,200. However, this result will improve with system upgrades. Samsung has made it clear that the Note 10.1 system will be upgraded to Jelly Bean 4.1.

The above is the hands-on experience of Samsung GALAXY Note10.1. We found that the workmanship of Samsung Wannian Plastic is really It is criticized, and the price of several hundred dollars while being plastic also makes the premium of the Samsung brand seem a bit exaggerated. After all, the combination of Android and Samsung, the application of plastic and the not-so-exquisite craftsmanship It is far from as shocking as the combination of perfect Apple and perfect ios, and the poor stylus is also a shortcoming of this tablet. They are all huge flaws of this seemingly glamorous tablet, but Samsung cannot be denied. Creative ideas, as long as Samsung pays attention to these problems and corrects them, I believe it will be more perfect and competitive.
