With the processing power to get every kind of Android-based task done and an S Pen that allows you to do top-notch artwork, notes, and every kind of stylus-based work you can think of, there's really no equal to the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 in the market today. Certainly as far as displays and abilities go, this is easily the finest tablet Verizon has to offer right this minute - if you want to go big, that is.

Comment

Model:

The Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 is designed for the "prosumer" with extensive productivity and multitasking being the focus. It has a stunning 12.2" WQXGA display with plenty of real estate. The Enhanced Multi Window feature splits the screen in four different ways for seamless multitasking.

While the LTE model uses a Snapdragon 800, 2.3 GHz Quad-Core, the 3G model features an Exynos 5 Octa-Core (1.9GHz Quad + 1.3GHz Quad). Both models come with 3 GB RAM, a choice of 32 GB or 64 GB depending on the region and the capability to support micro SD up to 64 GB. The device is fitted with an 8 MP rear and a 2 MP front camera. Other hardware features include USB 3.0, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS+GLONASS. The entire setup is powered with a 9500 mAh battery giving it plenty of juice. The LTE model weighs 735 g and the 3G model weighs 750g and comes in two colors, black or white.

The S Pen is improved with the hover shortcut function found on all latest Note series devices. Handwriting recognition is also enhanced which makes it a delight to use on such a big screen. The device also introduces a new application called Remote PC. This allows the user to remotely access a PC or Mac directly from the tablet. The Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 runs on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), is definitely well-built, and will satisfy users looking for a larger screen to work on.

Qualcomm Adreno 330: Integrated graphics card in some Qualcomm Snapdragon SoCs, supports OpenGL ES 3.0

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

800 MSM8974:

High-end ARM SoC with 4 CPU cores up to 2.3 GHz and an Adreno 330 GPU up to 450 MHz. Based on Qualcomm's Krait 400 architecture and is manufactured in a 28nm HPM process.

12.20":

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.

The same applies to tablets in this size range.
