normally we don't do this for tablets but today we are going to answer the age-old question what is it like unboxing and having a first look at a twelve point two inch tablets well that's exactly what we're about to find out because it's Java guard from Android thority what's going on everybody and this is the unboxing and my first impressions on the brand new Samsung Galaxy Note pro alright so as you can see I already have a pretty wide lens here on this camera but it's already tough to put this entire box in frame obviously because we're dealing with a twelve point two inch screen and once I take the lid off of this you're going to see the tablet in all of its glory let's go ahead and open it up so and sliding out the box you can see already boom there is the huge canvas of the twelve point two inch screen of the note Pro and it looks like Samsung still left it with a small tab right here at the top even though you have this huge canvas and it is quite heavy you only have this one tab to go ahead and separate it from everything but since this already is a tough tablet to put into the entire frame I'm just gonna focus for now on the contents that are in the rest of the box lift up the tab right here and we will find what else is included and it looks like the tablet even at its price point we saw it at eight hundred and fifty dollars on Amazon you get the tablet that's pretty much what you're going to be working with because on this um aside from it you get the pins for the s-pen if it happens to break you have the instruction manual the micro looks like USB 3.0 charging cable just like from the note 3 and of course the adapter plug and after that you don't really have it looks like yeah you don't really get anything else so it really is just the tablet with the charging cable and some pins for the or some replacement tips for the s-pen and that's about it to get a little bit better handling on things I've moved over a little bit and I've backed up from the confirm the camera so that you can see the slate in all of its glory here is the Note pro 12.2 some of my fingerprints are already on there but that's okay and we have just the full screen on here with a pretty sizable bezel just under one inch of the bezel going all the way around the screen but else but after that we have the typical layout and I like that it's the black version it's really nice we do have the button layouts are pretty typical for a tablet of this size if you have or if you've ever had a 10-inch tablet this is pretty similar where you have the volume rockers and the power button here at the top and in terms of holding this thing you will have to have it in both hands this is not a one hand device at all and it should be pretty obvious considering its size so I'm gonna go ahead and just turn it on over here so we can go ahead and get some of those reflections out of the way for one thing all right there we go so we have we are greeted with the original TouchWiz that we see here with all of thee it does look a little bit more it looks larger obviously because it's on this big 12-point 2 inch screen but then if we go over to the side here we are we have the magazine UX so it is indeed on here and it is obviously a part of the TouchWiz operating system that we're going to get used to from here on out I will be doing a feature focus on the magazine UX in order to show you really what it can do and what all of the widgets down here will be shown as and what functionality they'll have when put into this very large grid like style there's a lot like the magazine UI the my magazine rather it was called with that you saw on the Galaxy Note 3 but like I said already 12.2 inches in a tablet is definitely a little bit tougher to use than really anything else I just took out the s-pen right now and I'm trying to get a nice grip on the tablet right now this is definitely something you're probably gonna have on a tabletop more often than not but I did take out the S Pen and Here I am I'm gonna start using it just for the usual the usual functions that you probably know from the Galaxy Note 3 there's the air command menu right there but all in all we still have the rather blah touchwiz look in the home screens that we have here but that's why the magazine UX is so interesting and that's what we're gonna look at in a future focus video coming up after my full review so as I struggle to keep my hands on this tablet in a safe manner keep it tuned to Android Authority for all of the best coverage thank you for watching this video and show us your appreciation by hitting that thumbs up button that like button and also by subscribing to our channel if you haven't already make sure that you stay tuned to this channel and to watch all the content from the likes of Joe Jace and Kevin the tech ninja as well because they all put out some great content and we have a lot here for you at Android authority because we are your source for all things Android
