This time the launching of Samsung new product - Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 in Malaysia was held at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPAC). A place where creative people meet. I find it a bit too far & hard for me to go there especially trying to beat the morning traffic jam.

Once you reach the registration counter you are welcomed by the fair & tall models

Just like a sport car accompanied by pretty models too.

Live demo by Samsung Malaysia personnel

When compared with the live demo during the launching of Samsung GALAXY S3. This time the demo was done better with more fluent animation on the huge screen and with CCTV-like-camera live showing the demo. Multiscreen features and Pop Up Play function was showcased during the Note 10.1 launch. One thing I wanna comment is there was too much tendency of the speaker looking at the screen for the scripts.

 

 

This time Samsung Malaysia is partnering with four telco including Celcom, DiGi, Maxis and U Mobile. You will able to get a brand new Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 at cheaper price while having data plan contract with selected telco.

With the S Pen provided, you can do precise sketching and drawing on the note easily. Not only that, I like the rear speakers that facing you and it makes the sounds easier to be heard. Which means you can have better movie/video viewing experience too

I personally think Pearl Black looks more attractive than Pearl White Note 10.1. Check out the reflection emitted by the Pearl Black Note 10.1.

If you do a lot of typing, you can get the keyboard dock instead of the normal dock to make your typing faster.

With the AllShare Play function, it is good to have a series of Samsung products including a Samsung SmartTV where it can play the video from the GALAXY Note 10.1. I hope I got this huge Samsung SmartTV at home now so I can share video I recorded using my GALAXY S3. Sure looks awesome ;p
