Most of the time, a Pro
branding on consumer electronics device would usually denote some sort of
emphasis on productivity apps and functionality. And in the realm of tablets, productivity
and business related features are associated with the Windows operating system
as Microsoft’s platform has long been the home of a lot of business and office
apps.
But it looks like Samsung is planning to change all that by
pushing for Android-powered tablets that are designed to replace the
traditional Windows-powered tablet and laptops.
This is especially true when it comes to the Galaxy Note Pro
12.2. The tablet, as the name implies features a 12.2-inch display with WQXGA
resolution that supports up to 10-finger input as well as the S Pen stylus. It
also features a new multi-windows feature that allows the device to run 4 apps
simultaneously. And the Note Pro handles this with ease thanks to its very
capable internals.
The tablet is powered either by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800
chip or an Exynos Octa 5 chipset coupled with 3GB of RAM and Android 4.4 KitKat.
The tablet can also provide users with remote access to their laptops and PCs
via its RemotePC functionality. Samsung has also equipped the Note Pro with
various productivity apps including Dropbox, Bitcasa, HAncom Offline and
Evernote.
In the imaging department, the Note Pro will be equipped
with an 8MP camera that is capable of capturing full HD videos at 60 frames per
second. Images and other forms of media can be stored on its built-in 32GB or
64GB storage, which can further be expanded using a microSD card.
Aside from the Note Pro, Samsung has also added three new
Pro models to its Galaxy Tab range. Heading the trio is a 12.2-inch tablet that
packs almost identical specs and features as the Note 12.2 with the exception
of the S Pen Stylus input.
The other two tablets are the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 and the
Tab Pro 8.4. Both models share similar internals and differ mainly in screen
size as well as battery units. The two tablets are again powered either by a
Snapdragon or Exynos chip, has 2GB of RAM, a screen resolution of 2560x1600
pixels and 16GB/32GB of built-in storage (expandable).
Obviously, the Tab Pro 10.1 is bigger than the 8.4 in terms
of screen size. As for the battery, the bigger 10.1 tablet packs an 8220mAh
battery while the Tab Pro 8.4 packs a battery rated at 4800mAh. On the other hand,
the Tab Pro 12.2 as well as the Note Pro 12.2 gets a 9500mAh unit.
