Samsung has unveiled the pricing and availability of their "2014 edition" Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet.
The tablet, which will ship with a stylus, goes on sale on October 10th for $550, a surprising choice given Apple's next flagship iPad will sell for $500.
Galaxy Note 10.1 tablets have a high-resolution 2560 x 1600-pixel display and are powered by a quad-core Exynos processor and 3GB RAM.
"Last year's launch of the Galaxy Note 10.1 introduced the integration of S Pen capabilities to the tablet category and created a new experience for consumers," said Travis Merrill, vice president of tablet marketing at Samsung Electronics America. "We continue to evolve the Galaxy Note experience with the new Note 10.1 – 2014 Edition. With premium software features and a sophisticated design, we're delivering an exceptional and even more engaging tablet experience."
Additionally, the tablet is thinner and lighter than its predecessor, but with a textured back cover.
Samsung used practically the entire press release to boast about the S Pen and revamped multitasking capabilities of the device, which are two of its main differentiating features from the iPad, and other tablets.
