Samsung has officially launched Galaxy Note 10.1 in Singapore and will be released to the public on August 25, 2012. As expected, there will be two versions of it – one with built in 3G+Wi-Fi and another with Wi-Fi only radio. The 3G version with 16GB internal flash storage will retail for 998 Singapore dollars, which makes it considerably more expensive than than the Apple iPad 3.

Both black and white colors have been made available. Price for the Wi-Fi only version is not yet known. Hardware of the Galaxy Note 10.1 is very identical to the Samsung Galaxy S3 but comes with 2GB RAM.

Both Galaxy Note N8000 and N8013 share same Clockworkmod recoveries which means same custom CWMs (clockwork mod) recoveries can be flashed on either without any modification. Same can be said about rooting them.

So, install CWM in Galaxy Note 10.1 and download super SU file. You can download that file from here. Put the CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip in the root of your SD card. Now, we will put it in recovery mode. To do that, press volume up and power button. It will reset. Let go of power but keep the volume up button pressed. You will boot in recovery mode. Select “install zip from sdcard” and browse for the CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip using volume up and down buttons. Select power to flash the file. Your Galaxy Note 10.1 will boot up rooted.

Galaxy Note N8000 vs N8013 – The only difference between these two tablets is the presence of 3G radio in N8000, which is absent in N8013.

First Galaxy Note 10.1 reviews are in and most of them are pretty, well, except for the Gizmodo, as expected. Gizmodo did not like the Galaxy Note phone (N7000) and we expected this.

Engadget says,

It’s been a long time — six months, to be exact — since Samsung first gave birth to the Galaxy Note 10.1. Our initial reaction was one of intrigue; a risky bet we were eager to see play out in final form, especially given stiff competition from various quad-core competitors. So, does the Note 10.1 manage to overcome its well-matched rivals and carve out its own spot in the crowded tablet space? Ultimately, no matter how deftly executed and streamlined the S-Pen experience may be, this tab still feels like a niche device, especially since the suite of compatible applications is still pretty small. This is the sort of purchase early adopters and creative professionals are likely to make based on their familiarity with Android and the additional flexibility afforded by that stylus.
