Nothing really, except that the note you'd actually want would be the 2014 model which will set you back £400.
Compared to the tab, the 2012 note has a slightly inferior processor and screen and supports less codecs as standard. Not much in it really! ____________________ Current bike - 2018 H2-SX, 2004 SV1000s, 2016 Aprilia RSV4 RF, 2017 Sherco SERF 300, 2003 Suzuki DRZ400 (stolen - AY53 JUU) |

Just a heads up on Simply.
They are NOT a UK based co like they imply. They are based out in HK. Notice they may display a UK tel No. But NO UK ADDRESS. Often while saying they have stock they do not. Often not delivering goods either.
Getting refunds can be a nightmare.
So you may well not be getting UK stock and as such can have issues with warranties.

right, bit the bullet and went for the note 10.1" (not the 2014 model as thats double the price)
and really the only difference is a better screen and a wee bit better processor, slightly better camera, slightly bigger battery, 3gb ram over 2gb
comparison here
all in all the 2014 is slightly better in every reguard, but not twice the price better
https://www.ijtdirect.co.uk/41662/ £186 delivered
which, met all my demands, with £14 to spare
seems weird that the note would be way better specc'd than the tab, but still be cheaper ____________________ the humans are dead
