Samsung Electronics Co. has introduced two new tablets aimed at the “creative, dynamic and progressive individual”: the 12.2-inch Galaxy NotePRO and the 8.4-inch Galaxy TabPRO.
Running on an Android 4.4 (KitKat), the two new tablets feature the world’s first 12.2-inch WQXGA Widescreen (16:10) display, offering 2560×1600 resolution with more than 4 million pixels.

A personalized Magazine UX, specifically optimized for a large screen, allows users to further tailor their Galaxy tablet experience for their own needs. The UX enables them to organize their favorite content in an easy-to-use dashboard with automatic feed or news updates.
The Galaxy NotePro’s multi-window feature enables users to split the screen up into four different windows and a virtual keyboard provides them with enough space to type comfortably.
The PRO Series can also act as extension of one’s desktop. With the Remote PC features, one is able to access their desktop from a PRO tablet wherever they may be.
The Samsung S Pen included with the Galaxy NotePRO delivers a more responsive, productive and overall efficient tablet experience with access to features such as Action Memo, Scrapbook, Screen Write and S Finder.
