Samsung has officially launched its Galaxy Note 510 tablet in India for Rs. 30,900. The device is known as Galaxy Note 8.0 in international markets and this tablet was earlier up for pre-orders on company's online store.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 was originally unveiled at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2013 in February and announced in the Indian market as Galaxy Note 510 a week later. It comes with an 8-inch WXGA (1280X800 pixels) TFT display with an 189ppi pixel density. Running on Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean), the tablet has a 5-megapixel rear and a 1.3-megapixel front camera.

Measuring 210.8 x 135.9 x 8 mm and weighing 338 grams, the Galaxy Note 510 is powered by a 1.6 GHz A9 quad-core processor coupled with 2GB RAM. It features feature 16GB internal storage options with additional expansion support up to 64GB via microSD. In some markets, Samsung is also offering a 32GB internal storage variant but so far the same is not available in India.
