CNETAnalysis: Samsung’s long-rumoured Galaxy Note 8.0 has been officially announced ahead of the opening of Mobile World Congress . Samsung confirmed the device after an anonymous tipster, presumably part of the set-up crew in Barcelona, snapped a picture of the Samsung stand. There, lo and behold, was the Galaxy Note 8.0 featured on the big screen. Naturally, the device looks absolutely gigantic, but it seems Samsung is still intent on us using it in portrait mode with one-hand, although that could be a bit of a stretch for anyone who’s not named LeBron James. The latest leak comes just a week after the Note 8.0 was accidentally revealed at a Samsung event in South Korea. Top billing The new, iPad mini -bothering member of the Note family will pack an 8-inch 1280 x 800 Super Clear LCD display, Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean , a 1.6GHz ARM-quad-core processor and 2GB RAM. The placement of the Galaxy Note 8.0 promotional screen, in the centre of the Samsung stand, suggests that it’ll probably be the Korean giant’s top announcement at MWC 2013. We already know that the Samsung Galaxy S4 won’t be making an appearance at the event this year, with latest speculation suggesting it will arrive at a dedicated event on March 14 .
