| This should be the same device as Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 (samsung-n1awifi) but with LTE and Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC instead of Samsung Exynos SoC. |
| Currently there is no support for this device due to the SoC difference. However, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 (MSM8974) is supported, so it should be possible to add support for the device at about the same level as for the Exynos variant. |
Contributors
User:Kocourek is currently (as of end of November 2025) working on a close-to-mainline port for the device. However, it is a new hobby project and there is limited time, so no promises.
So far, the device boots properly from internal storage and can be accessed via SSH.
I am not sure about power configuration in the DTB yet, so not opening a PR (do not want anyone's device to blow up or something), although this is something we can brainstorm in a PR. If time allows, a PR for this basic support could come by the end of 2025, though again, no promises.

Additional info
Unixbench results
| The numbers seem very low compared to the Exynos variants. Power/performance tweaking may be necessary to get better results. |
