not long ago the Galaxy Note 10.1 was the tablet to talk about if you were talking about large Samsung devices not anymore it CES 2014 i'm michael fisher with pocket now we're checking out the note 12 to the Note pro 12.2 we'll see how it compares in a very vague non-committal kind of way sound like fun good let's do it so yes this was large not long ago but not anymore because now but this is the new large 12.2 10.1 most obvious differences of course size what you might not expect of course is that the feel in hand not all that different dudes the 10.1 the 12 dots you very very very big difference in size tailor can't even get them both in the same shot there's the overlap shot look how much more screen real estate you have and look how many things pop up when you hit the wrong buttons on the 10.1 but the feeling hand 10.1 I can hold relatively easily in landscape and I really don't feel too bad about it that's the one low point of the 12.2 yes you can hold it one-handed in landscape but guys at seven hundred and grams and change depending on the version you get to Wi-Fi or LTE this is uh this is beefy he's a two-handed tablet no real surprise there but my original point of course was that they feel in hand when you are using a two-handed it's not all that different on the 12.2 inches unit then on the 10.1 entry really not an encumbrance and in exchange you get a whole lot more display real-estate specs are comparable three gigs of RAM on each XO notes or Snapdragon 800 depend on what your what you're looking at in terms of Wi-Fi or LTE eight megapixel cameras around back two megapixel cameras up front etc and of course the s-pen the biggest difference of course being that pretend odd one runs on the old TouchWiz the variant of the nature UX customized in this case by our own tailor Martin whereas the 12.2 features the new redesign of Samsung's user interface the one we've seen on all of the tablets here at CES 2014 and one that we are frankly very very refreshed to see may not be for everybody it may not be for you but the amount of customizability the amount of information density you can get even on a large panel such as this is really really quite impressive so we have to say kudos to Samsung and finally not to say waking up maybe that's too cruel but finally maybe coming into 2014 or right on time in terms of software a lot more to say on both of these devices but for now a quick look at how the 10.1 compares to the 12 to the note versus the note Pro at CES Las Vegas trailer Martin behind the camera I'm Michael Fisher good day
