Seems that there's no end to rumor these days. Once again, the news is about Galaxy Note 8.0, Samsung's believed to be the next launch and the major competitor to Apple's iPad mini. As per the technology website SamMobile (sammobile.com), upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 will have an 8-inch Super Clear LCD display and S-Pen stylus compatibility. And the biggest thing to happen this time is the Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean). Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 will come preloaded with Google's latest mobile OS. Only Google Nexus 10 has been running on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean till date.

Galaxy Note 8.0 will be available in two variants - 16GB and 32GB with a microSD card support up to 32GB. The device will sport a 5MP camera on the rear and a 1.3MP snapper in the front.

Samsung is planning to launch this Galaxy Note 8.0 in February this year. As far as pricing is concerned, it is said to be between $249 and $299. Should be affordable considering its value in Indian Rupees which is just Rs.13,000 to Rs.16,000/- Galaxy Note 8.0 is the second Samsung tablet that measures between 7- and 10-inch, after Galaxy Tab 7.7.
