Galaxy Note 10.1 Multiscreen Hands-On

**Galaxy Note 10.1 Review: Exploring the Multiscreen Feature**

Welcome back, everyone! It’s John Ringer from TechnoBuffalo, and today we’re taking a closer look at the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. This tablet has been making waves with its impressive specs and innovative features, but one standout capability that really caught our attention is the **Multiscreen** feature. If you’ve ever wanted to multitask on your device, this might just be the feature for you.

### What Exactly Is Multiscreen?

Before diving into the demo, let’s get clear on what Multiscreen actually does. As John explains in the video, Multiscreen is a feature that allows users to run **two applications simultaneously** on their Galaxy Tab. While it works with a variety of select apps—such as email, gallery, office suite, or even video players—it’s particularly shines when paired with Samsung-dedicated apps. In this case, we’ll be focusing on how it integrates with the S Pen and the built-in **S Note app**.

### Getting Started with Multiscreen

To demonstrate the feature, John opens up the **S Note app**, a note-taking powerhouse that’s perfect for showing off the capabilities of both the stylus and Multiscreen. From the options menu, he selects **Multiscreen**, which prompts the tablet to let you choose a second application to run alongside S Note.

John opts for **Internet** (essentially the Samsung browser) as his secondary app. Once selected, the two apps—S Note and Internet—appear side by side on the screen. The feature is straightforward: you can toggle between the two windows, close one of them, or switch back to a full-screen view of either app with ease.

### The Demo in Action

With S Note open on one half of the screen and Internet on the other, John proceeds to show how seamlessly the two apps work together. He navigates through Yahoo, demonstrating that scrolling, zooming (via pinch-to-zoom), and all other functionalities remain intact even when running in a split window.

One particularly cool aspect of Multiscreen is its **keyboard adaptability**. By pinching the keyboard icon on the screen, John can expand or contract it to suit his needs—whether he wants the full keyboard for typing or prefers to keep it compact to have more space for note-taking or browsing.

To further illustrate the feature’s versatility, John navigates to TechnoBuffalo’s website and opens a new tab in Internet. While the browser is loading, he spends some time drawing and manipulating text within S Note—a perfect example of how Multiscreen allows you to **juggle multiple tasks without switching apps**.

### Testing Multiscreen in Different Orientations

John doesn’t stop there; he wants to make sure that Multiscreen works as seamlessly in landscape mode as it does in portrait. By rotating the tablet, the two windows stack vertically rather than side by side, but the functionality remains consistent. Whether you’re working in portrait or landscape, you can easily close one app and return to full-screen mode if desired.

### Hands-On Impressions

Throughout the demo, John highlights how **realistic and effective** the multitasking experience is with Multiscreen. He imagines scenarios where users could be browsing email while checking something up on the web, or watching a YouTube video in the background while jotting down notes. While he’s not sure how often *he* personally would use this feature, it’s clear that for certain use cases, Multiscreen could prove to be an incredibly handy tool.

### Final Thoughts

As John wraps up his demo, he reiterates just how **cool** the Multiscreen feature is and how useful it could be for users looking to maximize their tablet’s potential. While it may not be a feature that everyone will use every day, it’s definitely something worth exploring if you’re considering the Galaxy Note 10.1 as your next device.
