What are its advantages and disadvantages? Read all the features of Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 in the review “Gazety.Ru».

Main feature of the tablet, of course, its size. All other data is worth considering, given the size of its screen. 12.2-inch diagonal did not strike: she initially shocking. For comparison, the display of the popular portable notebook MacBook Air 11 has a diagonal of 11.6 inches total.
Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 and iPhone 5S Externally
Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12,2 very similar to the Galaxy Tab PRO 12.2, 10.1, 8.4. Most disputes this version of Samsung’s design is a back cover made of plastic under the skin texture. I personally like this version more than the previous design tablet Samsung c glossy plastic caps, but critics have “leather” rear panels too much.
unusual Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 is also the fact that the plates, transformers and other devices that are created as a replacement for a portable laptop, mostly run on Windows 8, and the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 is based on the platform of Android: at its last version of Android 4.4 (KitKat).
I must say that the very decision to create the office, or working, Android tablet rather controversial. The risks are obvious. Corporate standard – it’s Windows only and Windows, and is very likely that the potential buyer, who decided to replace my old laptop on a large plate, prefer a solution on Windows 8.
On the other hand, Android platform has gradually turned into a mature, full system, sufficiently reliable, with an extensive ecosystem and a huge number of applications for any occasions, including for work. So if someone wants to buy a tablet is not working only for office work, and more versatile, he may well look after and 12-inch Galaxy Note Pro.
Emphasizing non-entertainment tablet, Samsung has added a pre-office applications, and subscription services.
addition samsungovskih familiar applications such as S Note, S Planner, etc., on the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 installed Remote PC (application for remote access to the PC), E-Meeting and Cisco WebEx (collaborative applications and organization online conferences), Hancom Offise (quite advanced office suite), Dropbox (a popular cloud storage often used to work together in small companies).
Even a free online subscription to New York Times and Buisinessweek as it hints that Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 – a device for serious people.
How, by the way, and the price – 34 990 rubles. for Wi-Fi-version and 39,990 rubles. for the version with LTE-module. Price is not that hints and straight talking about it.
Another important point. On Note Pro 12.2 installed new corporate graphic interface, which has two basic differences compared with previous versions of the corporate desktop TouchWiz.
first – tiled interface. No, it’s not a joke. The present tiled interface, much like in Windows 8. However, in addition to fashionable flat plates were traditional android-screens with icons.
second – multi mode. Not all, but most of the key applications can run in this mode. On the screen, you can open up to four windows simultaneously. Convenient option in principle, but it is especially good when working with multiple sources.
order to get acceptable sharpness – about 250 PPI, – tablet equipped with a screen resolution of 1600 x 2560 (WQXGA). Display quality, with anti-reflective coating and oleophobic, good margin of brightness and contrast, as well as with support for pen input (pen S Pen included and stored in the body of the tablet). Tablet during the test was used not only for work but also for reading, playing games, watching movies in HD-format. I must say that any claims to the screen has not arisen.
Accordingly, to provide a comfortable work applications and games on this screen Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 received a top “iron” – quad 800 Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8974 (LTE version) or eight-core Samsung Exynos 5 Octa (for models without LTE).
tablet battery capacity is also quite decent 9500 mAh battery lasts for about one to two days for standard use (paper work, internet surfing, chatting, watching movies, a few games).
Camera Note Pro 12.2 does not particularly stand out but 8 megapixels to scan documents, more than enough. And for what, in fact, need a camera in 12-inch tablet?
Note that in terms of transportation is no difference with 10 tablets dyumovy not. If you do not borsetka or ladies clutch, the Note Pro 12.2 quietly fit in any bag. Its size is almost 100% identical to the sheet in A4, and tablet itself is quite thin.
In general, if to summarize all of the above, it emerges a complete image of a powerful universal tablet, punctuated by workloads.
And now that same light that darkens the image.
Ergonomics – continuity in the design, including the location and control buttons – it’s good, the previous owners of Galaxy tablets will be very familiar to all, but to reach the buttons with your finger when you hold the tablet in his hands, it is difficult.
Weight Note Pro 12.2 predictably large and keep it aloft quite uncomfortable. Here, I think, to me, many would argue that it is for this purpose and is not intended.
Interface – trendy flat, tiled design – it’s good, but despite the powerful hardware platform, to say that the tablet interface works quickly and smoothly, it is impossible. Delays are visible to the naked eye. Plus, some applications like Evernote and Flipboard, worked properly and flew over.
It is worth making a reservation. We tested the sample was pre-and we hope that all commercial examples of such problems as a graphical user interface will not.
And now the most important thing. Or almost the most important thing.
To uncover undoubtedly rich potential of this tablet as Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, he needs the corresponding peripherals – Cases-stand, keyboard adapter, mouse, etc.
Unfortunately, at the beginning of the sales will be available only genuine case. Later there will be branded mouse, USB-hub with built-in Ethernet adapter, and possibly other accessories Samsung. Logitech has announced Keyboard Case for Galaxy Note Pro 12.2.
With the advent of all these accessories purchase Note Pro 12.2 will be much more meaningful, but it is already a considerable purchase price will cross the psychologically important 40 th bar, and in some cases jump and 45 th
Results
Certainly, Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 – interesting and original tablet. The very attempt to make a complete business Android tablet deserves unconditional respect, but its high price, almost obligatory purchase additional accessories and unusual positioning make it obvious niche device. Moreover, despite the fact that Note Pro 12.2 no direct competitors to Android, tablets and numerous transformers on Windows 8 can otest part of potential buyers Galaxy Note Pro 12.2.
