UPDATE: Check out our full review of the Galaxy NotePro 12.2.
At a media preview today Samsung Malaysia announced that the Galaxy NotePro 12.2 tablet will go on sale in Malaysia early March 2014. Priced at RM2,999, the Galaxy NotePRO 12.2 is a massive tablet that features a 12.2-inch WQXGA 2560×1600 display and runs on a top-of-the-line 2.3GHz Quad-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor with 3GB of RAM. The version that’s coming to Malaysia will have 4G LTE connectivity and 32GB of on-board storage. If you need more, there’s a microSD slot which supports cards up to 64GB.
Design wise, it follows the same language as the Galaxy Note 3 including its faux leather back. In terms of imaging, it comes with a 8MP rear camera and a front facing 2MP shooter. Since this is a “Note”, the device also comes with an accompanying S-Pen stylus. Overall, the tablet is 7.95mm thick which is rather slim for its size and weighs 753 grams. There’s also a massive 9,500mAh battery that should keep the Note 12.2 running all day.
Out of the box, it runs on the latest Android 4.4.2 and you’ll notice that the settings interface is similar to the new icons we’ve seen in the purported Galaxy S5 leaked UI. Samsung is calling this a progressive tablet as which is focused for productivity. Among some of the key features is a Quad Multi-Window view where you can have 4 apps showing at the same time.
In terms of accessories for the NotePRO 12.2, there’s a bluetooth keyboard dock which is tentatively priced at RM399. The keyword also doubles up as a protective case where you can stow the tablet facing downwards. It is charged using microUSB 3.0 which is the same cable used for charging the tablet. For those that prefers the comfort of a mouse, there’s also a Samsung S-Action mouse which is specially designed to navigate around the Galaxy NotePRO’s interface. Pricing for the mouse is yet to be confirmed at the moment.
