Note Pro looks like a large version of the Note 10.1 tablet. On the back is the same faux leather cover. The tablet feels rough and therefore fits comfortably in the hand.

Despite its size, the Note Pro 750 grams is not disproportionate. It is not uncomfortable to the camera for a long time keeping. With two hands At first glance, the tablet seems to be considerable, but the format gets used quickly and also has its advantages.

Screen

format is the Note Pro a great device to watch videos. The screen is 50 percent larger than the 10-inch model and provides 2560 by 1600 pixels all sharp again. Watching a movie or series is slightly more impressive.

When typing the larger screen size comes in handy. Two hands easily fit on the display, which makes typing on tablet tienvingerig possible and there is an extra row that is added when the figures are displayed.

Software

Note Pro features the new UX Magazine, with large photographs showing news and other widgets on magazine-like manner. That is basically useful, but in practice there is still something to criticize.

new widgets – based on the magazine app Flipboard -. not refresh itself particular e-mail and calendar look pretty in UX Magazine, and are also good to use. The advantage over a standard Android screen is minimal and the offer is still on.

Moreover

There are some bugs in the software. The Samsung app Watchon, indicating what’s on TV and serves as a remote control, always indicates that there is ‘no show’ is. addition, the app was repeatedly fixed.

Besides the new UX Magazine has become possible to have up to run. four normal apps side by side On the big screen is certainly not a luxury, all the apps are hardly useful when actually running four abreast. Simply do not get the apps enough space. Also, there is no convenient way to one of the apps to close (while the other remains open).

Stylus

Note Pro just as previous discs smartphones and tablets a stylus, which among other things can be used to draw on the screen and to write. notes on screen

The stylus works well and will provide added value to some people. However, the Galaxy Pro does cost 100 euros more than the Galaxy Tab 12.2 Pro, which will be published in the Netherlands. Which tablet is the stylus after exactly the same, so you need to purchase the Note Pro are willing to spare to scan for the pin.

Performance

minor bugs after the Note Pro a very fast tablet with a swift octacore Exynos processor and enough memory to do much at once. The software runs generally very fast and all the games that we played on the tablet ran smoothly. A nly Air and the iPad Mini does it on pure graphics speed better than the latest Samsung scion.

The larger screen does demand its toll on the battery Note Pro. That’s pretty big, but when playing a full HD video held the tablet twice just 7 full hours. Another disadvantage is that it is almost as long to recharge the battery even when it is plugged into a socket.

Conclusion

Note Pro’s little mistakes after a fine tablet. Biggest problem is the battery life, though many buyers will use the device for its size may still mostly at home or at work, where chargers are available.

The software is generally improved, though there is much more potential in the magazine-appearance than Samsung now lash out. Most important is that the Note Pro has a beautiful screen and is very fast through the proper hardware.
