There will be soon:

Galaxy Note Pro 10.1 unveiled early

Edit: Yes, I realise this doesn't have the S-Pen, but it's near identical hardware specification (minus the S-Pen) and improved software software spec. (Kit-Kat and more business oriented apps) do set it apart from the Note 10.1.

Edit #2: This post is not an invitation to troll XDA Developers, please do not respond unless you have something meaningful or intelligent to contribute. Thank you.

That's the tab version omneity.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] sincerity:
what I don't understand is why are there two versions? just have a note pro X size and be done with it. the galaxy tab series from what I can see is the same without the stylus? It's not like if you don't want to use it the stylus hinders the experience. :confused: it's horribly and unnecessarily confusing to the average consumer.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] BarryH_GEG:
You know, when you think about it, they should/could have called the N10.1-14 the "Note 10.1 Pro" from the start. It's not like the tablets just announced weren't well under development when the N10.1-14 was announced in October.

Reasons I can think of for not:

1) They continued to push the OG N10.1 over the holidays with discounts and calling its successor "pro" might have dampened sales. It was featured at BB, the U.S'. largest electronics reseller in their Christmas marketing and advertising.

2) Introducing a device with "pro" attached could have fueled speculation before the holidays that what just happened might happen and dampen sales of Samsung's existing tablets, some of which are pretty dated and light on specs. Look at what happened with the Nexus 10 2 that never got announced. People held off purchasing the old one and didn't buy any brand of new tablet because rumors swore the Nexus 10 2 was imminent.

3) Is what the N10.1-14's named even matter? With yesterday's announcement why they released a device in 2013 named "2014 Edition" suddenly becomes clear. Since the G-Tab Pro 10.1 and Note 10.1 2014 Edition are as similar as the G-Tab Pro 12 and Note 12 Pro Samsung could change the N10.1-14's name to Note 10.1 Pro. I'm guessing the challenge is we all bought it under its original name and can't think of any manufacturer changing the name of a product already in people's hands. Support would be confusing also if an identical product was assigned two different names.

Regardless, based on all the new tablets including the N10.1-14 having their specs so meticulously aligned there would be zero reason for Samsung to release a "Note 10.1 Pro" that had any newer or better specs or features than the current N10.1-14

and

the just announced tablets. Other than one out of five devices having a non-aligned name, Samsung's 2014 tablet line is the most coherent I've seen (until we find out what happens at the low end and to the N8 ;) ). So I think we're all safe in our investments and Samsung's just got a naming convention issue on their hands until the "Pro 2" or "2015 Edition" series come out. ;)

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] ddavtian:
They have average consumer line (Tab) and more powerful one (Note, S Pen, more RAM, used to be more powerful processor). Pen requires special screen, it adds to the cost of device.

Yes I did, in fact it was far easier to "reat" than your nonsensical text-speak.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] BarryH_GEG:
They actually have three tablet lines now...

1) Galaxy Tab - Entry level, value pricing.

2) Galaxy TabPro - Premium high-end specs, premium prices.

3) Galaxy Note - Focus on input and creation, highest priced Samsung tablets.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] omneity:
Yes , this seems to be the product line-up now: a lower-end basic tablet; a higher-specified tablet for the "professional" user; and the Note range with S-Pen input.

My take on this is rather than creating a 'budget' tablet to compete ate the lower-end of the market, they have created a new premium range in the Tab Pro range to allow sale price lessening of the lower specified (old generation?) Tabs. It makes sense given the mockery Apple exposed themselves to when then created the "budget" iPhone 5c. There has been a massive sales increase in tablets over the past few months, most of these have been at the lower end of the price market, Samsung, although doing very well in tablet sales, have probably lost sales due to the relatively high price of their Tab range. I've heard several people say they like the Samsung tablets, but feel they're a bit more than they want to pay (especially when the Samsung is surround by cheap Chinese clone tablets with low-res screens and 512k RAM). Many people's purchase choice is driven by price rather than by specification and brand reputation; after all a tablet's a tablet - right? Besides, tablet computers are cheap enough to be almost regarded as disposable items these days, so if I make the wrong purchasing decision then it's not a lot of money to lose.

But anyways I apologise for my post.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] quanghong:
nope its the same

all the new note and tab line that release at ces 2014 bascially having the same screen resolution as note 10.1 2014, ram about 2GB-3GB

and the CPU for LTE model will be snapdragon 800, while 3g+ wifi model comes with Exynos 5 octa core (which the same as note 10.1 2014).

at firs i was the same as you are now, which freaking out because how samsung will release new stuff, but i will not worrying about it in the long run.

the only thing i hope samsung will do is an kitkat update for note 10.1 2014 lolz
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Smac7:
This guy has all you need to know. end of story aside from adding anytime it says "note" it means it comes with an spen.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] aznmode:
Agreed. I'm not sure how this is confusing. They did not replace the note 10.1 at all. They just upgraded the old galaxy tab series that had mid grade specs and added a 12.2 note. What I am looking forward to though is that 4.4 on our note 10.1.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] AM Radio:
hey, i just want to add there's one more difference between the Note Pro 12.1 and Note 10.1 (2014): former comes with USB 3.0 (placed on the side), latter doesn't (and the socket is on the bottom).

Not so much. I'm sure there will be a desktop charging stand or port extender and the charging port on the side would make both useless.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] cdinoz:
Would we all be shocked if Samsung re-release the Note 10.1 2014 as the NotePro 10.1? Given how stocks of the device have been so limited, you have to ask yourself why the marketing department bothered letting the product department release the Note 10.1 2014, with the CES announcements surely planned well in advance for?

It certainly does then give a great line up as you have listed, except I would list as follows:

1) Galaxy NotePro 12.2

2) Galaxy NotePro 10.1 (formerly known as the Note 2014 10.1)

3) Galaxy TabPro 12.2

4) Galaxy TabPro 10.1

5) Galaxy TabPro 8.4

All come with identical chipsets / GPU etc (so same OS is possible? Upgrade one, upgrade them all? Is that a smart move or what!)

Then they follow this one on with:

6) Galaxy Tab 3 10.1

7) Galaxy Note 8

8) Galaxy Tab 3 8"

9) Galaxy Tab 3 7"

10 Galaxy Tab 3 Kids

As the more budget conscious devices?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Soryuu:
I guess, you could also look at it this way:

The have their high-end (perhaps focused more on business/workhorses)

-Tab PRO 12.2

- "" "" 10.1

- "" "" 8.4

-Note Pro 12.2

-Note 10.1 2014 (unofficially dubbed as the Note Pro 10.1 by people)

Then their midrange (majority of tablet consumers)

-Tab 3 7.0

- "" "" 8.0

- "" "" 10.1

-Note 10.1 (I add this in here because it seems its still being actively sold, even in Samsung's homeland of South Korea)

-Note 8.0

-Tab 3 Kids (niche product)

Then their low range is beginning to develop (more focused on third-world countries I assume)

-Tab 3 Lite
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Lyric Kayden:
Exactly, this is what I have been saying and thinking.

What happens the day you get that 4.4 kit kat upgrade and when your device reboots it reads, Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 10.1??? Lol

It's very possible. Lol.

BTW not sure but is Samsung doing away with the Android look as we know it on the 4.4 kitkat? I seen or read something about it looking like tiles from Windows tablets. If so do they give you the option to view in the typical android look we know of instead the tiles windows look? Or is this tiles thing just the Magazine thingy?

BTW I got to thinking about it today and I must say I'm at no worry about the whole tablet bs now. My 10.1 2014 has the same specs as the 12.2 Pro and I love everything it is. I'm happy and screw Sammy and it's marketing/sales bs. Lol.

Ok I know this may need a new thread elsewhere but I have this one open and those of you who have been so nice to reply could possibly also reply here. Now I remind you everyone has their own opinion like the old saying goes and I'm not about to say it here.

Anyways my upgrade on my phone is today and btw I'm with Verizon wireless. So I'm looking between a couple phones and well its a hard choice. I think going with a Note 3 would be nice but then I already have a . But I have a 10.1 2014 so do I want a smaller version which acts as my phone? Maybe and maybe not. Two other phones I have considered are the HTC One Max and the HTC One (original). I love the design of the HTC and thr bigger screen and other options or built in tweeks. But the HTC is with a weaker processor than the Note 3 but now having my new tablet and a nice laptop, I ask myself do I need the best spec'd phone but just a little bit on paper difference? Currently I have the Samsung galaxy S3 and I'm sure ether of the three new phones would surpass what I have now. I like the Note 3 and it would be nice with my Note 10.1 2014 but do i want a little twin and a big twin? Lol. What do you guys think?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] ap27:
I had this choice a month ago where I was mulling over upgrading my Note 2. I don't personally think having a smaller and a larger Note will have any real benefits. You'll almost always use the larger one for note-taking.

At that point, the other high points of the Note 3 came to mind - battery life, powerful internals, big screen. However I felt the size was starting to get to me. The Note 2/3 really stretch the boundaries for a phone for me, so I looked for something smaller.

My answer - the LG G2. The size is perfect, screen is only 0.3 inches smaller, specs are top notch and battery life outright surprising (6 hours of screen-on time is quite easily reachable). It also has good ROM support due to the Nexus 5 family ties.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Lyric Kayden:
I like the LG G till I seen that crazy old school antenna built in. Lol

I love android but I did think about a iPhone 5s but not really sure on that. I may just go with HTC One or HTC One Max. Not sure yet but need to figure out by this evening. Lol.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] BarryH_GEG:
Depends on your attitude toward consistency. I replaced a N2 with a N3 and then couldn't stand my OG Note 10.1 anymore because of the N3's updated UI and features and incompatibility with 2012 S Note. I like my tablet and phone set up the same way. That way I can grab either and the same apps and configuration are common to both. My contacts, e-mail, and syncs are the same so both are always current. For big creation jobs (long e-mails, document editing, long conference/video calls) I grab the N10.1-14. If I'm moving (EG: Airports, walking) I'll grab the phone. Either way whatever's been done on one shows up in the history of the other. I sync bookmarks, Scrap Book, and S Note so I can start something on one device and pick up where I left off on another. There's a feature in the stock browser that let's you send the webpage you're viewing to another device. So if I'm reading or reviewing web content on one device I send it the other if I have to switch devices. Obviously not everyone's as compulsive as I am. ;)

The One is dated, has a marginal at best camera, and some serious issues with said camera. The One Max is kind of a joke. To pick-up .2" of extra display and front facing speakers you'd be going with a phone that's seriously larger in every way than the N3. HTC also posted a second straight quarterly loss and missed analysts' already conservative revenue guidance for last quarter; and that's with the Max launch. Look at the Max forum, there's like 50 people in it and it's available on VZW, the largest U.S. wireless carrier. HTC's going to end up merged or acquired but in the meantime they're a sinking ship whose market share has fallen to 2%. If I didn't want a phablet and compatibility between my phone<>tablet I'd probably have a LG G2.

Good luck.

I love my htc droid dna. I got it free in august and just got the update with sense 5. It is a great device, super fast, great gps and the battery life is decent. So I would seriously consider the HTC one. I was thinking about going with the iPhone because of the sound quality, but I looked at the droid dna with beats audio and absolutely love the sound quality. I don't care what people say about beats, it does make a difference in sound quality and ultimately the overall volume level of the device. I don't understand why htc is failing, there recent devices are rock solid. I guess people still want memory expansion and removable batteries.....
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Lyric Kayden:
Well guys today I upgraded and I would like to share my story with you guys.

When I went to the store the first phones I walked over to were the HTC One Max and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. The Note 3 was nice but again a small version of my tablet I have, the Note 10.1 2014. The One Max was just ignoramus, honestly I found the phone not practical for a phone. I couldn't imagine pulling that phone out of my pocket. Lol. The Note is almost as big but still with these two phones I'm thinking no way, not practical for me at least. I have my beautiful tablet and that's my entertainment, note taking and more. I need a phone with a beautiful display, great build quality, decent nice camera, sleek layout and great processor.

I had the S3 already and an S4 was not really an upgrade in my mind. I wanted something new, something different and something solid.

So I settled on the HTC One. I must say I love it and it's super super fast and beautifully well laid out with the layout, interface and externally. I don't think a person could get a Android phone that would come close to the iPhone like the HTC One phone does. Love it and it's amazing, fast, beautifully laid out built like a premium phone. It may not be 5 inches, it may not have a S Pen but that's what my Note 10.1 2014 is for. My One Max is well as great as the Note 3 but with a few minor differences. But those differences that the Note 3 have I feel are what belong on a tablet. Yeah the camera may only be 4 megapixels but 4 ultra megapixels. I can tell you this, those 4 ultra megapixels do a beautiful job and better than what I've seen from reviews online. Of course it's no iPhone 5s camera but just as sweet but the Note 3 camera isn't no iPhone 5s either but yeah you get my point.

All I gotta say is I love Samsung and I love my Note 10.1 2014 and would take no other tablet currently on the market for it but I wish Samsung would lay off the plastics a little. Of course it's cheaper, lighter and more but I'm not asking for a solid metal Samsung phone or tablet but something a little less plastic and a little more build quality. He'll give me carbon fiber. Lol.

Anyways that's my story and I'm happy with the outcome. Now I cross my fingers and pray it turns out to be a great experience. With Verizon I went with the Edge program so I wonder what will be on the market in 6 months?

This kind of makes me fell better about the N10.1-14's lifespan and likelihood of it getting the same s/w the newer Pro's and Note are getting. If a Note 10.1|Pro was indeed on the horizon they wouldn't be releasing the N10.1-14 on VZW, the largest wireless carrier in the U.S. If their intent was to leave Magazine UX off the N10.1-14 because of the button labeling issue and introduce a Note 10.1|Pro with Magazine UX and an updated button it would be given a different model number to aid their support staff in handling customer issues. The author's assuming an update to 4.4/Magazine UX but I don't know whether she's basing that on fact or an assumption on her part. Regardless, that the N10.1-14 is continuing to be deployed in new iterations with the same model number is kind of reassuring about its longevity.

2014 Edition Galaxy Note 10.1 spotted at the FCC carrying Verizon’s 4G LTE bands

Posted on Jan 10 2014 - 8:30am by Valerie Richardson

The 2014 Edition Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 might have taken a backseat with the arrival of the Galaxy NotePRO and the three Galaxy TabPRO tablets, but it’s certainly not going to be forgotten for long. A new FCC listing has now revealed the tablet’s arrival through Verizon Wireless in the U.S., complete with 4G LTE bands supported by the carrier.

The Galaxy Note 10.1 which broke cover in September during the IFA event is certainly a tablet worth considering as it features pretty much the same hardware as the newly announced Galaxy NotePRO (except for the size) down to every detail. This is merely an FCC listing, so there’s no official word on when the tablet will officially hit Verizon, but we’re guessing an announcement will take place in the coming weeks, possibly during the MWC.

This is clearly one of the best tablets in the market today which will get even better once Samsung rolls out the Android 4.4 update with the new TouchWiz and the Magazine UX. Expect the tablet to cost somewhere close to $600 off contract, which is the price of the Wi-Fi variant currently sold by Samsung, so it’s certainly not going to be easy on your wallets.

This is great news to read, Thanks for the information.

So bad news. I started having issues with the HTC One and started to notice build quality wasn't up to what it should be. I took the phone back and they gave me hell so I exchanged it for the Note 3 because it was the best I guess besides the HTC. I didn't care for anything else. I like it a lot but it feels weird to have the 10.1 2014 tablet. Lol. It's big. Lol.
