The Note Lite is a dedicated ebook reader and does not have a active digitizer layer to take notes, it has a very large 10.3 inch screen to run Android apps and to read your favorite book. The Note+ has a glass based display and is scratch resistant, making it easier to draw on the screen with the accompanied stylus.

Underneath the hood is a 1.6GHZ quad core processor, 2GB of RAM, dual speakers, mic, Bluetooth, 32GB of storage and USB C. Sadly it does not have a front-lit display, so you will not be able to read in the dark.
