What the Premium Suite on the Galaxy Note 10.1 actually includes
The update to Jelly Bean on the Note 10.1 comes accompanied by Premium Suite, a package that brings together productivity, creativity, and multitasking improvements. It features more capable multi-window: in addition to splitting the screen, you can now open up to 16 native Samsung apps in floating windows, move them freely, resize them, anchor them so that they do not go into the background and reopen them while preserving their state as a window. It is even possible to launch several in cascade or dual mode to split the screen between two recent apps instantly.
Multi Window compatibility extends beyond pre-installed apps. In fact, it is possible select which applications you want them to behave in floating mode and work with 2, 3, 4 or more at once. It works with Samsung tools and also with some of third parties, so browsers like Chrome or social networks like Facebook and even clients like Falcon integrate well into the multitasking flow.
Key functions are coming to the stylus. EasyClip allows you to crop any area of the screen on the fly without having to take a previous screenshot; QuickCommand Enable quick gestures (press and hold the S Pen button and swipe up) to draw commands that open apps, send emails, or launch searches in Maps; and Air View expands its compatibility to preview photos, videos, emails or appointments just by hovering the pointer.

The keyboard gains practical options: with a pinch You can switch to the floating or split keyboard and move it with two fingers to position it where it's most comfortable. Plus, features like PopUpPlay, now with free windowed video resizing to accompany your work in Polaris Office or other apps.
Performance, fluidity and compatibility
Beyond the features, many users notice faster transitions between desktops, smoother app launches and switching, and an overall “new” tablet feel. It makes sense: the combination of Jelly Bean with hardware like the quad core processor and 2 GB of RAM of the Note 10.1 helps Multi Window, Air View, and S Pen editing feel snappy even with multiple windows at once.
The 1280×800 LCD screen continues to offer good viewing angle and natural color, although density isn't its strong point if you get up close; still, for writing and drawing with the S Pen, palm recognition and stroke precision are very well-resolved. The system recognizes when you write with the stylus to avoid accidental finger touches.
Update availability and how it arrives
The deployment of Premium Suite and Android 4.1 comes as a gradual by regions and models. On the Note 10.1, variants such as the N8010 and N8000 can receive the OTA at different times.
