Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 to launch at Mobile World Congress next month?

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 to launch at Mobile World Congress next month?

Samsung: More Notes than a pHD student

Samsung hopes to reveal an 8-inch version of its successful Galaxy Note line at next month's Mobile World Congress, according to reports.

The SamMobile site claims to have a confirmed spec sheet for the so-called Galaxy Note 8.0, which it said will come packing the latest version of Android Jelly Bean (4.2).

The device is also said to have a hi-res 1280 x 800 Super Clear LCD display, come with 3G and Wi-Fi flavours and, of course, tout the trademark S-Pen stylus.

The purported spec sheet also lists a 5-megapixel rear camera, 2GB RAM, up to 32 GB of storage (plus MicroSD), and a 4600mAh battery.

Gunning for the iPad mini?

Although Samsung already has the Galaxy Tab 7.0 and Galaxy Tab 7.7 on the market, it may be that the company chooses to position any Galaxy Note 8.0 release directly against Apple's 7.9-inch iPad mini.

Just yesterday, we brought news suggesting the Galaxy Note 3 may be incoming later this year, with a 6.3-inch display and the next-generation Samsung Exynox Octa eight-core processor.

Thursday's SamMobile report makes no mention of the processing unit housed within the Galaxy Note 8.0, but an eight-core processor would certainly give it an edge over other mid-sized tablets.

TechRadar will be live and in living colour at MWC 2013 in Barcelona to bring you the first news of any Samsung announcements, so strap yourselves in from February 25.
