The fact that you don’t need to change screen mode to get the most of it is a big bonus, too, but overall the Note 10.1 still has a cracker of a screen – one of the best we’ve ever seen on a 10in tablet. The iPad just about has the edge when playing back 1080p footage, both in terms of smoothness of playback and sharpness of picture. Switch back to Standard mode for browsing and contrast improves with bold black text popping as it should.
GALAXY NOTE 10.1 TABLET MOVIE
Movie mode is best for movies (who would’ve thought?) with a similarly natural colour palette to iDevices – but in this mode webpages look like fancy, cream-coloured letters next to the stock, pure white printing paper of the iPad. This is a great choice for loading up your tab with hi-res DSLR shots as it picks up slightly more detail than the iPad.įor everything else, make sure to get to know the ‘screen modes’ section of the settings menu. The beamtastic, blink-inducing 10.1in screen can’t be faulted on brightness either. The fonts on appear as pin-sharp as the witty prose (what do you mean you’ve never heard of it?), and colours don’t stray too far off-hue when viewed off-axis. If tablet battles were decided on displays alone, the Note 10.1 2014 edition would be puffing its chest out with confidence by now. That’s thanks to an upgraded 2560 x 1600 screen, which is an even higher resolution than the holiest of holies, the iPad Air, and one of the highest Droid pixel counts in existence, equalling Asus’ latest Transformer.

The Note 10.1 2014 edition’s battle cry goes a bit like this: I have four times the number of pixels as my predecessor – hear me roar!
