Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro : Hands On Review :

FOR

• 12.2-inch screen is useful
• Specs keep up with Multi Window
• Magazine UX is eye-pleasing

AGAINST

• Specs match the Note 12.2
• Just lacks the Note’s S Pen features

The largest Samsung Galaxy Tab to date made its official debut at CES 2014, coming in a range of sizes to suit all manner of ‘professional’ user. However, the top dog was the Tab Pro 12.2, physically overshadowing its smaller brethren thanks to its massive 12.2-inch screen.

We went all ten fingers on the Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2′s spacious WQXGA LCD with a 2560×1600 resolution and found that the dimensions aren’t as ridiculous as they seem at first. That’s because this foot-long display was immediately made useful when we ran Google Docs, a Spreadsheet, a YouTube video and the Chrome browser in four Multi Windows.

That’s right – you can see four things running at once on the large and expansive screen. This became progressively more cramped as you went down to 10.1- or 8.4-inch displays, but even at the 12.2 iteration having four things open at once smelled suspiciously of gimmick over genuinely useful feature.
