All that in an 8.9mm thin body weighing just 597-600g, depending on the model. On the software-side, the GN10.1 offers Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Samsung’s TouchWiz user experience,a Multiscreen feature for true multitasking, S Note, S Planner, Crayon physics, Adobe Photoshop Touch, Polaris Office, Smart Stay, Pop Up Play, AllShare Play, AllShare Group Cast, Music Hub, Game Hub, Learning Hub, Readers Hub, Video Hub, Media Hub and Google services.
