View PowerPoint on Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, a new eight-inch Galaxy tablet was introduced during MWC 2013. This one is a smaller version of the Galaxy Note 10.1, with an uprated specification and improved built-in stylus.

Specifications
Compared with Note 10.1's 1.4 GHz processor, the new Note 8.0 is powered by a faster 1.6 GHz quad-core model. The tablet is 335g in weight, which is lighter than 597g of Note 10.1, makes it more convenient to carry around.

As the name mentioned, the Note 8.0 comes up with a 8.0-inch TFT display, featuring 1280 * 800 pixels resolution and 189ppi.

As to other specs, the gadget has 2GB of RAM with 16/32GB of ROM. It also provides a microSD slot, which is able to expand the memory up to 64GB. The tablet has a 5MP rear camera with AF (lacks flash) and a 1.3MP front-facing camera. A massive 4600 mAh battery is also equipped. The tablet runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, BTW.

Highlights
Same as the Note 10.1, this Note 8.0 is S-Pen stylus equipped. Thanks to the Android 4.1 OS, several stylus -specific functions are available: pressure-sensitivity and windows that pop up over whatever app you're currently using to help you take a quick note.

Multiscreen is another highlight of the Note 8.0. users can launch two apps at the same time and make them sit side-by-side on the screen. Only 6 apps support Multiscreen function on the previous Note 10.1, but now the amount has increased to 20 for the Note 8.0. This is a meaningful improvement since people would love to deal with different tasks at the same time on a tablet.

Watch PowerPoint on Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0
As an Android based tablet, there are several ways to play PowerPoint on Galaxy Note 8.0. Although users can download some Office apps from Google Play, such as Kingsoft Office, Documents To Go, etc. But the PowerPoint effects (animations, transitions) can't be shown on these mobile apps.

In my opinion, an effective way to show PowerPoint on Galaxy Note 8.0 is to convert PPT to suitable video format. By using a free-download PowerPoint to video converter, users can easily watch the converted videos on the Note 8.0 with PPT effects remained.
