The 8-inch Android tablet was designed to compete with the iPad Mini in UK . However, at £399.99, the Galaxy Note 8.0 costs £70 more.
Samsung UK argument is that hardware extras like the stylus and infrared blaster make it more expensive to make. What do you think?
Here's Samsung's Philip Berne responding to the Galaxy Note 8.0 pricing criticism on Twitter:
It's a decent point, but there's another piece to the puzzle.
Samsung makes a lot of different tablets for the UK market. The Galaxy Note 8.0 and its big brother the Galaxy Note 10.1 just happen to be the company's top-tier devices. There's also Samsung's Galaxy Tab line of tablets. The Galaxy Tabs have weaker hardware specs and fewer software features than the Note tablets.
But those are the tablets that Samsung prices to compete with the iPad Mini and Google's Nexus 7 tablet. The 7-inch Galaxy Tab 2 starts at £199.99 and the 10-inch model starts at £349.99 (those are the suggested retail prices). It's also been reported that the Galaxy Tab line will get an update later this year.

So there are really two tiers for Samsung's tablets: the top-of-the-line Notes and the budget-friendly Galaxy Tabs.
However, that's maybe part of Samsung's tablet problem. It's confusing to offer so many similar-but-different devices at a bunch of price points, especially now that the company is trying to create a worthwhile competitor to the iPad Mini.
It's also a tough sell to convince people a pen and an infrared blaster are worth that extra £70 (if you're considering the iPad Mini) or £200 (if you're considering the Google Nexus 7).
Pricing is just as important as a bunch of extra hardware features and doodads.
