The attention that Samsung has received for its Galaxy Tab line is rather mixed. Some people love them, some people hate them, but Samsung hasn’t bowed out of the tablet battle just yet. Market leader, Samsung West Africa has unveiled it's highly anticipated GALAXY Note 10.1 for Nigerian market. The device, positioned as a device that enhances productivity and creativity is now available for purchase at Samsung’s Experience Store in Ikeja City Mall in Alausa, Lagos and at authorized retailers across the country. Speaking at the launch of the device in Lagos, weekend, Abiodun Odejayi, Head of Marketing, Hand Held Products at Samsung West Africa, said that the GALAXY Note 10.1 is designed to meet the increasing needs of the world’s growing mobile workforce, by providing differentiated value of large display while keeping the benefits of the Galaxy Note smartphone.

"Our goal with the Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 was simple - redefine the tablet experience. The advanced technology and features included in the device give users the power to produce, create and customize communications. "For the user, the resulting experience is completely new, thrilling and quite unexpected,” said Odejayi. Powered by Google's Android software Ice Cream Sandwich, the GALAXY Note 10.1 extends Samsung’s GALAXY Note category, building on the success of last year’s worldwide hit smartphone and delivering the functionality and precision of pen and paper by combining the S Pen with a 10.1 inch large display. It is equipped with a quad-core processor that allows users to run multiple applications at a faster speed than the previous version, which had a dual-core processor.

It also features a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, 1.9-megapixel front camera, a microSD slot that allows for expansion by up to an extra 32GB of storage and a battery life that supports up to nine hours of usage. The GALAXY Note 10.1’s game-changing multiscreen feature also helps ease content creation by offering what Olumide Ojo, Head of Sales, Hand Held Products, Samsung Electronics West Africa, calls true multitasking. “Other tablets multitask only in that they allow users to toggle between different applications, which is more or less single tasking. You are really only doing one thing at once with such tablets. The Samsung Galaxy Note Note 10.1 is unique in that its screen can display two applications at once, allowing the user to cut and paste material between the applications.

For instance, a user can take notes while reading a book; look up some information while watching a movie or even copy an address from an online magazine onto the notepad,”  Ojo explained. The device also comes with a customized copy of Adobe Photoshop Touch, which allows users to do fine-grained, professional-quality photo editing; a universal television remote software that offers recommendations based on previous TV viewing habits and AllShare Play, which lets users share content with large groups in real-time, by connecting GALAXY Note 10.1 to Samsung HD TVs, phones, mobile tablets, laptops, and other consumer electronic devices on the same network.

From its inception as a small export business, Samsung has grown to become one of the world’s leading electronics companies, specializing in digital appliances and media, semiconductors, memory and system integration. Today, Samsung’s innovative and top quality products and processes are recognized all over the world. The company has continued to expand its product lines and reach, following its mission of making life better for consumers all over the world.
