The tablet is just the size of an A4 page, and will set a new trend in the tablet area. Recently there have been rumors that Apple will soon bring under the revised iPad mini is a larger tablet on the market. Samsung has already shipped with the touch Pro 12.2.
 


Great yes, chunky rather not

29.6 times 20.4 centimeters measures the large flounder and thus is actually almost the same size as an A4 page. Despite the fairly large size for a tablet (the point of this device class is, after all, mobility), it is not bulky or unwieldy. At no point does the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 measures more than eight millimeters. Main material of the housing is plastic, the back is a kind of Lederimmitat and is very grippy. Due to the size of the Note Pro 12.2 is not very rigid, the operation but this has no effect. The large display glass is seamlessly integrated into the frame, not creaks or crunches – the processing makes a very good impression. With a weight of 760 grams, the note at all is slimming but no lightweight. In one hand can not hold it comfortably for a long one.
 


inner life and endurance: Flott and much

32 gigabytes of internal memory, our review unit of Galaxy Note Pro 12.2. Of these, only 25 gigabytes are available when first turned on. If that’s not enough, you can upgrade up to 64 GB via a slot on the right side by Micro-SD card.

As well as the Galaxy Note 3 is an enlarged plug is used, which inspired by the design of the Micro-USB standard (left) away. Meaning: He who has multiple devices can not only take a plug. The connection, however, is backward compatible. The classical micro-USB plug will fit.
 


Screen: No AMOLED, but “Super Clear LCD”

The test device was placed at our agency authorized by Samsung Factor 3 for free. After completion of the tests, it was sent back.

Compared to other Samsung Tablets, such as the Galaxy Tab3 10.1, the screen is a nice surprise. With 2560 to 1600 pixels, the display is really good, individual pixels are barely visible. Contrast, color reproduction and brightness are impeccable, but can also be adapted to personal viewing habits. Instead of the usual Samsung AMOLED displays a Super Clear TFT is installed. It has a very wide viewing angle, and color reversals occur only when one looks really unnatural angles on the screen.
 


cameras: Pretty good rear, front good

we have 10.1 yet criticized the quality of the camera with the Galaxy Tab 3, we can use the camera of the note per 12.2 at least as acceptable designate. The eight-megapixel clippers makes for Tablet conditions good photos with the internals LED works well with less light. Photos in the dark but did not succeed, since the flash does not help when the subject is more than two meters away. The front camera for video calling, or the inevitable Selfie-fashion shots has a resolution of two megapixels and provides quite good and beautiful images. The installed camera app is intuitive to use and allows for fun effects such as combined shots with both cameras at the same time. Thus, the subject and the photographer depict reaction simultaneously.
 


Android 4.4.2 Kitkat makes the grade 12.2 per fresh

as the operating system on the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Google Android version 4.4.2 installed. With the multi-window mode, you can take advantage of the large screen of the tablet well.

Also, the menus and the look was somewhat revised “Kitkat”. Nevertheless, experienced Android users will feel at home immediately.
 


Special Benefits: This tablet can make phone calls and is a remote control

In addition, the device, as well as the other models of the note series, can be used as a phone. Receive free headset can also make voice calls. About the preinstalled app “Remote PC”, the remote access is possible on the home computer.

Another special benefit is of course the included stylus S Pen. It extends the operation using the very precise touchscreen and allows handwritten input and other convenient features.

Conclusion: Big, strong, niche product

With the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 penetrates in terms of performance in the lower PC area before, in size the unit is on Ultrabook level. Price default, it moves with almost 750 to 900 € (depending on equipment) exactly between the two. But who needs such a device? With its powerful features and the big screen, it is suitable to be almost a laptop replacement – especially in conjunction with an external keyboard. Compared with the previous note-tablets it is certainly the most consistent implementation of the general-purpose orientation of this model. Who wants this functionality with such a large screen, finds the score per 12.2 a good one – but also quite heavy equipment. One must not conceal the fact that for a device in this price range of built-in memory is relatively small however.
