![]() The black, textured matte back feels comfortable in-hand and looks like something you'd pull out of your attaché case. Somehow, with that one change, Samsung's managed to make this 12.2-inch tablet look professional a device befitting that "Pro" moniker. What I assumed would be a tacky design workaround is actually a sly coup on Samsung's part. It's something that sounds awful in writing, and seeing it in photos doesn't do it much more justice.Īnd yet, my misgivings were unfounded. More specifically, I'm referring to that faux-leather back we first encountered on the Galaxy Note 3, which appears to be the new build standard for Samsung's flagship mobile products. I'll admit I was initially skeptical of Samsung's decision to counter complaints about its cheap-feeling, plastic design with - wait for it - cleverly disguised plastic. But that begs the question: Can you and your prosumptive tendencies handle it? When it comes to the Note Pro 12.2, size clearly matters most. ![]() What, then, aside from a massive screen, makes the Note Pro 12.2 different enough to justify the price? On paper, the answer to that would center on the version of Android it ships with (4.4.2 KitKat) and its ability to connect remotely to your PC, as well as Samsung's Flipboard-like Magazine interface. There's that same faux-leather back replete with "stitching," and 2,560 x 1,600 display. Cosmetically, it's near- identical to the Note 10.1 2014 Edition, except larger. ![]() The Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 isn't a complete departure for Samsung, though. ![]() No, the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 is aimed at the prosumer niche of the market - whoever and whatever that actually means. As you might imagine, then, the Note Pro 12.2 isn't intended for your average consumer. LTE-capable models are coming soon, but Samsung hasn't announced pricing yet. That increase in screen real estate comes at a high price, too: $750 for a 32GB model and $850 for 64GB, both WiFi-only. It's also something I've wondered myself, given that its size puts it within uncomfortably close competition with 11- and 13-inch laptops. ![]() How do you fit 12.2 inches of tablet into your life? That's a question I'm sure Samsung must have pondered at some point before greenlighting its Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, a device that stretches the upper limits of what we can easily call a tablet. ![]()
