Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Specs

im a smartphone expert worked with rooting/flashing/jailbreaking of my friends phones (s5/note 4/iPhone 6 and 5s and htc one m8 .... etc) (im their go to smartphone guy) decided to buy a new phone and a new tablet this year my htc one review is on the website and now this tablet .
I own a 32 gb sm-p601 , I flashed kitkat (south Africa edition ) from sammobile and this tablet became fantastic , on jellybean yes it lagged a little but after kit kat it is waaaaaaaaaay better , the screen is fantastic you cant notice and pixels , the UI is smooth there is a tiny bit of slowdown ever now and then but its barely noticeable (wont affect the experience), the 3g and wifi reception is good , the speakers are good not the best but they are still better than many , there is micro SD , but what makes this tablet the best out there is the S PEN with touchwiz features , it works on tablets 1000 times better than smartphones ! it can run most games well (its not the best at gaming but its good enough) its a great tablet just GO for it !

I purchased my tablet from San Antonio, TX T-Mobile the first day they offered it for sale. My experience so far has been great. This is my first tablet and android device. I have been a Microsoft guy from the beginning. I really like the android experience.

I was CRAZY excited for the release of this tablet.... the specs are amazing, and on paper, this should be one of the best devices on the market.

Based on my experience, I have almost completely lost faith in samsung devices.
I have now had not one, not two.. but THREE times had to replace my tablet due to a defective battery. THAT'S FOUR TABLETS, and I've only owned it for about a month and a half! Plus, I am a sales rep at T-Mobile; samsung also sent us our two demo tablets for display in stores that were also both defective.

Since I do work at a cellular phone company, I have access to a diagnostic tool which has the ability to test for defective battery, so I'm not just pulling this defective claim from out of the blue.

Granted, this tablet is unbelievably fast and powerful, but it also freezes up quite often, and it's preloaded with useless bloat ware (a common Samsung tendency), and it certainly doesn't live up to the $700 price tag they place on it.

Between this, my observations as a sales rep, and my experience with the galaxy smart phone lines, my conclusion is this: stay the hell away from Samsung! There always is, and always will be devices with the same features and specs for a much lower price that function 1,000 times better.
