With the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, it seems the Korean tech giant wants the market to realize that bigger is better. The whopping 12.2-inch tablet is not as big on the display but it also offers a wide range of functionality. Samsung created a device that aims to convince people that they can always work better with their applications with bigger screens. Is the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 any better?

Build

Some analysts expressed before that a 12.2-inch tablet may seem too much for some users. The Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 weighs 750 grams and measures 7.95 mm thick. The device is not as heavy and thick as most people would think initially. However, users may have to use both hands instead of one to avoid getting tired holding it. The back panel sports a leatherette finish similar to the Galaxy Note 3. While some users may not find this as appealing, they can find the device easy to grip. This is very important especially for tablets. Users will not have to worry losing touch of their devices when they go out.

Display

The 12.2-inch screen offers a beautiful pixel support despite its size. Samsung made sure the colors stayed vibrant with images sharp and as detailed as preferred. The Samsung device features 2,560 x 1,600 pixel resolution assuring people pixels on the screen were maximized.

The motions appear streak-free and solid. According to a Stuff report, the colors of the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 do not appear unnaturally warm or overly saturated. The colors remain bright and vivid despite changing to a range of city-based time lapses.

User Interface

Samsung combined Android 4.4 KitKat with the Magazine UX interface allowing users to take full advantage of screen. Many agree that the combined interface offers one of the most beautiful UIs for tablets around. The dashboard offers a multitude of tiles and content. Everything appears big but well organized or spaced. Users will not feel overwhelmed by the interface. It is simple but still as functional as ever. People can find everything they need presented neatly. Pages offer a smooth transition as well.

The device gives people the chance to get as many things done as possible. The screen size allowed Samsung to include a full virtual keyboard. People will no longer have to press buttons to switch letters with symbols or numbers. They can access everything like in a physical keyboard.

In terms of the factors mentioned, the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 is a good consideration for people looking for an alternative to Apple's iPad.
