Ghana, Accra, September 16 2012 – In a unique move to fulfill its commitment of supplying its customers with the best innovative products and make life easier for them, Samsung has partnered with Vodafone Ghana to unveil the latest flagship full-size Samsung phone in Ghana, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. The new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet, like other Samsung products is based on Google's Android operating system and is designed around two key features the iPad lacks – a stylus also called the S Pen and several applications that allow the user to use it for note taking and sketching and, the ability to view two programmes at once in a split screen mode.

The note's multi-tasking with multiscreen feature enables users to utilize two different applications side-by-side simultaneously while providing an active learning experience for the user.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 comes with an S Pen which provides a great option for users who find typing on glass to be limiting and might want to simulate pen. It can be used in place of the fingers to navigate through the tablet and comes with a note which is essentially a free-form electronic pad can jot down notes or sketch in it with an ability to translate notes into handwriting.

Launching the tablet, Business Head for Hand Held Products at Samsung West Africa, Ryan Na reiterated Samsung's commitment to making life easier for Ghanaians. 'History has shown that taking notes, capturing ideas immediately, and sketching to realize them is the most personal and natural way to be more productive and creative. The advanced technology and features included in Galaxy Note 10.1 give users the power to produce, create and customize communications. The availability of Galaxy Note 10.1 in Ghana further demonstrates Samsung's dedication to delivering products that offer a complete mobile experience for creating personalized and expressive content'.
