AT&T has announced that it'll start selling the LTE-enabled Samsung Galaxy Note 8 from June 21.



With a new two-year service agreement, the 1.6GHz quad-core Android Jelly Bean phablet sells for $399.99, not including the monthly data connection.

The Note 8.0 is a midsized tablet that comes with an 8-inch TFT LCD display with 1280 x 800 pixels. That gives it a pixel density of 189 ppi, which means it is not the sharpest display ever.

The tablet is powered by a quad-core ARM Cortex A9 processor with each core rated at 1.6 GHz. The processors are paired with 2 GB of RAM and up to 32 GB of onboard storage. The device comes with two cameras: a 5-megapixel main camera and a 1.3-megapixel user-facing camera. The main camera doubles as an HD videocamera for Google Hangouts.

The Note 8 includes a wide range of Samsung's software and applications that take advantage of the S Pen, or stylus. For instance, customers can use the S Pen to pull up secondary menus and use Air View to see previews of links and other content. For instance, Awesome Note, provides power users with a to-do list on steroids. The Note 8 is also equipped with an IR blaster and Samsung's WatchOn software. Together, these let people control their television sets and search for content worth viewing.

AT&T's LTE network covers more than 200 million Americans in more than 270 markets. AT&T's HSPA+ network reaches 97 per cent of all Americans, which means even when LTE isn't around, you'll still have speedy Internet access.
