[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] MO11:
Let me try to give you some quick conclusion for the 3 tablets that you would choose from :

based on what you gave above and the common usage of your tablet it will be for reading mostly and a slight pdf editing if that happens so with that its better to go minimal and handy and get the tab pro 8.4 as it will be your best choice for reading and the slight editing etc

( all pro versions come with hancom office so you will get all the goodies with whatever tablets you choose) .

most of our usage for a tablet is multimedia consumption and that likes to be on a big screen for better entertaining experience and in your case if you wish to have the reading and multimedia both in a pretty portable size then go for the note 10.1 2014 edition or the tab pro 10.1 ( if you don't need the s-pen ( you got to keep in mind that the three tablets note 10.1/tab pro 10.1 / tab pro 8.4 have a pretty slight price difference and the choice will be up to you etc) .

*** transportation where you stay will also be important : if its not overcrowded and every time you will be able to have a seat and not so tight in crowd or standing then any of all the tablets will be very fine for you as after all if you are sitting you will find a nice way to hold your tablet somehow comfortably .

12.2 : after you finish your day and resting at home it will be time for media or nice relaxing reading and that size is the best when it comes to the in-house usage as you will always find a comfy way to do whatever you need with your tablet weather if you put it on your lab or a table or on a stand or on a pillow in bed and so on .

so here is my advice to you : think of your tablet needs in-house and out-house usage before you make a decision . Good luck with your pick.

Hope i helped you make your choice.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] :
Depends on what kind of pdf you read. If they are novels or similar format, 8" will be fine and can be held in one hand comfortably. If it's double column or technical stuffs, 12.2" is almost like a full size hard copy. It is a high price for this single purpose however, even though it does well. I have not tried the 10" so can't comment. Personally, I bought the 12.2 mainly for pdf but only because there is no alternative at the moment. Couldn't care less about all the gimmicks that comes with it. Maybe I should get the Tab Pro and save $100.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Diogenes5:
Hi, I believe I am in a very similar position to you. As a student, I have a MBPr 15" for most functions and a Note 10.1 2014 for PDF annotation. The normal workflow on my note 10.1 2014 is to take notes on it or annotate PDF's on it and then have that sync to dropbox and then viewable on my phone or MBPr later on to supplement studying. The Note 10.1 2014 is a good device but I haven't rooted it so I haven't been able to use my old Note 10.1 1st Gen Workflow of having Lecture Notes open next to EZPDF. It was always cramped when I used it this way too so I'm hoping the Note 12.2 Pro fits my needs. It comes in today so I'll be able to update you later this week.

Well ... there's is the screen which is 44% bigger ...

These are all good points. My main use is pdf annotation and lecture notes and pdf annotation is really clunky. But the problem with surface pro is bad battery life and having to use windows 8 (which I hate for most other things). I got the note 10.1 2014 because it was half th eprice but the pro 12.2 is almost as expensive. Samsung is just milking early consumers though as they already lowered the price by $50 and given the bill of materials is probably only like 250 for this thing (given it uses all of the same components as a note 10.1 2014 except for the screen), I'd say they have plenty of room to pricecut versus an Intel-based device.

There are intel-based alternatives such as the ultrabooks and laptops that have digitizers as well as the surface-pro. The Sony Flip 14 is about the same price but much bulkier. You're right, nothing does come close in terms of lightness and mobility in terms of battery life but it's an expensive price Samsung is charging right now. Mine is coming in the mail and if it doesn't live up to expectations, I expect to stick to my note 10.1 2014 or maybe even go to a Sony Flip 13.

I really wish Samsung would pay for the guys behind iannotate to make a good version of their program for Android. It's probably the number one use of everyone I've met with the device to read and markup pdf's. Ezpdf is ok but lacking the ease-of-use for a flagship program.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hajime_android:
Thanks. Please do update your experience with the PRO 12.2 We are indeed in a similar situation. I plan to use the tablet mostly for reading academic research papers. I would be good if I could have two papers shown side by side. However, as the screen resolution is fixed, doing so just require me scrolling and adjusting the windows size. I too use ezpdf. It seems that we cannot open two pdf using ezpdf. When we swipe across the screen, the page on which window is going to change? I once considered Surface Pro 2 but it is quite heavy especially if I carry both my 15" MBP and the tablet.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
Not all apps support multiple instance and as far as I can tell EzPDF is no exception. So what one would do is just force it and another PDF reading application to be multiwindow enabled using something like pen window manager and then use two different PDF viewers to get the side by side action going. Then its just a matter of doing your gestures on one side or the other.

As a test I just did two documents side by side in EzPDF and Adobe Reader. Works like a charm.

You know if your annotation is going to be light then the note pro may very well suit your purposes provided you're not akin to rooting it (and living with the consequences thereof).

I just wanted to give you a little insight of my experience...i ordered the note pro LTE p905 and had it delivered...i actually bought the wifi model first but was unhappy with the performance of the exynos processor and wanted the snapdragon 800

​

...i have a mac book pro I bought a few months ago as well but much prefer a tablet. ..i already owned the note 8.0 and 10.1 2012 and was waiting the the pro and I have to say the experience is unlike anything else...the screen size and clarity offer a laptop size and feel, with similar functionality all packed into a 12.2 inch galaxy note 3. I find I use the s pen 50x more than I ever did on my 8 or 10 inch note tables, the new s pen and improvements to the digizer hardware helps as well. I'm a college student in my senior year of my biochemical degree and the pro has already completely replace my MacBook pro, mini windows 8.1 laptop and smaller note tablets. The size, speed, new on screen keyboard, s pen, and insane battery life make the note pro LTE by far the best device I've ever owned and I currently own and develop roms for several of these below

Galaxy note 1 i717

Galaxy note 2 i317

Galaxy note 3 n900a

Galaxy mega 6.3 i9205 white

Galaxy mega 6.3 i9205 black

Galaxy note 8.0

Galaxy note 10.1 2012

Galaxy note pro LTE

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hajime_android:
Thanks for the experience. Could you please let me know what improvements are there?

"the new s pen and improvements to the digizer hardware helps as well."
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Hanson68:
The Surface Pro 2 is over a third of a pound heavier than the Note Pro with a much smaller screen. As a size to weight ratio consideration, the Note Pro blows away Surface Pro 2.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hajime_android:
The purchase decision is getting more difficult after Office for iPAD is announced. I want to be able to read both pdf and PowerPoint presentation files. Annotation on pdf files is required but would be nice if I can do the same thing on PowerPoint. Some PowerPoint files include animations. So far, I only found an app called "Presentations" by SoftMaker that can run the animations. Didn't have a chance to test all the features before the expiration of the trial period. Too bad the Air has no stylus. Are the 3rd party ones not as good as the S-pen?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
The inclusion of pressure sensitivity to active stylus devices definitely improves the control one has over handwriting with the result looking more natural. Since the tip of active stylus pens is fine they really are better suited for note taking that requires packing more information in a given amount of space. I would liken it to being able to write comfortably well on narrow ruled paper vs wide ruled. You can do note taking and annotation well with capacitive stylus though.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] MO11:
if you are getting the iPad air then go with this stylus as its the one of the best in the market http://www.lynktec.com/TruGlide-Apex-Fine-Point-Active-Stylus-p/lttg-0011.htm . i was getting the air first but i wanted the bigger size anyway but i was going to get that stylus for the iPad air after very long search and here is a video showing you a demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS9YlgvKrjE

and here is a full unboxing and review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3v3sTqqWTg
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hajime_android:
How bad is writing using capacitive stylus compared with the S-pen? Seems similar to me.

For those who have used the Note 10.1 2014, PRO 12.2, Air, how do they compare in terms of annotations? I do know that on IOS devices, you can write a phone number on the screen and have it stored in the phone directory. This is just a minor feature.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] nychotxxx:
I agree that the 12.2 exceeds any tablet ever. It's a piece of art in a way. I sold my macbook air and replaced it with the 12.2. I also have the note 10.1 2014 edition and the note 8. Hancom office is great in the 12.2. I use h word and it's totally compatible with word for the mac on my mac desktop. Btw, if anyone needs a case for the big guy, I got the moko from amazon for about $10 and it's perfect. For writing I'll use it with a bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mouse. I'll probable get a case - keyboard -- the logitech pro -- if I need to travel AND work, but mostly I see using it at home where I work.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hajime_android:
Hello, considering to get the PRO 12.2 or 10.1 2014 this week. I have a few questions:

1. Under the split keyboard, is it more difficult to type on the PRO 12.2 than on the 10.1 2014?

2. Have you guys found out the advantages of having a USB 3.0 on the PRO 12.2?

3. Besides the DPI and weight, are there things that the 10.1 2014 is better than the PRO 12.2?

4. How is the battery life if watching the same videos for hours on both devices?

5. How is the charging rate of both devices from 0% to 100% while being used or unused? Is the LTE version better?

6. Some people said that the 12.2 has a larger real estate. It has the same resolution as the 10.1 2014. So, it does not has a larger real estate I think. Right?

7. For multi-windows, if we open 2 windows, the amount of things that we can see is less on each window. If we open 4 windows, the amount of things that are displaced is even smaller in each window. Can anything be done on this?

8. Can the PRO 12.2 and 10.1 2014 be connect to a projector?

9. Besides a bigger screen, what is the point of buying the PRO 12.2 compared with the 10.1 2014?

Diogenes5: how is your experience? I am considering to buy either the Note PRO 12.2 or 10.1 2014.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
Just because resolution is the same doesn't mean you cant comfortably fit more information on screen. On the contrary, if pixel density is such that that things can be zoomed out on multiple windows then the additional screen size of the 12.2 can be an advantage over the 10.1, even without the advantage of rooting and adjusting lcd density settings.

Screen size positives go beyond just fitting information on the screen though, such as having larger areas to write on when taking notes or having a more comfortable viewing distance, or having a more natural sized landscape keyboard.

On the flip side the larger screen means more weight which goes beyond just the weight in your bag but also stress on your wrists during extended use handheld.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Hanson68:
I just got the Note Pro from work in addition to my Note 10.1. If I had to choose just one I'd go for the 10.1 because the weight makes it a better all purpose tablet. Gaming is better because the weight of the 12.2 is more fatiguing and the size makes some on screen controls awkward.

The full size keyboard on the Pro makes typing a breeze - it's the first on screen keyboard that allows me to type with two hands just like a physical keyboard. The larger screen makes it much easier to take handwritten notes. Video is impressive and more immersive, and it is the best comic book and magazine reader ever made - nothing ever seems cramped or requires zooming.

If you can handle the extra 8 ounces, the Pro is a no brainer. But after using both, the size and weight of the 10.1 is perfect.

Or you can get both!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hajime_android:
Currently I have the Note 3. It seems that the size of the Note 4 will be similar. I don't mind getting a Note if it is similar size as the Sony Xperdia Z ultra. If the size of the Note 3 is below 6", I may buy the Note PRO 8.4 when it comes out. While waiting for these two happen (probably this Fall), I want to get a 10.1 2014 or PRO 12.2.

What do you mean by "the size makes some on screen controls awkward. "?

I am a touch typing person. I tried the PRO 12.2 on two different days but I got quite a lot of typing mistakes. Sometimes letters showed up even I didn't press the corresponding virtual keys.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hajime_android:
Could you please explain "Just because resolution is the same doesn't mean you cant comfortably fit more information on screen"? Both 10.1 2014 and PRO 12.2 have the same resolution. How come I can comfortably fit more information on the 12.2 screen?

By "having larger areas to write on when taking notes", do you mean just write things the way we normally do rather than trying to write very small letters on a smaller but same resolution screen?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
Think of it this way, if you're in an application that lets you zoom out to 75% the font sizes get smaller right? Well if both tablets display 2560x1600 pixels but the 12.2 does so at a larger screen size then physical pixel size aside what you will see when both tablets show these zoomed out images side by side is that the text height on the 12.2 will be larger. It is conceivable then that one should be able to zoom out a little more on a 12.2 inch screen while still retaining legible text heights beyond that which can be achieved with the smaller 10.1 inch screen. Note that I dance around the issue of pixel sizes since it should be obvious that taking the same resolution and stretching it to larger screens means that there will be impacts to sharpness. I don't deny this but the 12.2 has a good screen so it does handle small fonts very well.

What I mean is there's a comfortable size to write legibly and I don't know about you but if I have a lot of notes to write I'd much rather do so on a larger piece of paper than a smaller one. To be honest I wish that this tablet was larger, possibly closer to 15 inches if it were to keep the same aspect ration so that at least a full letter sized page could be displayed at 100%.

I don't think that Samsung arrived at 12.2 by accident. The point of this tablet is to allow for the landscape keyboard to have a natural size for typing and also to maximize writing surface space. I gotta say the landscape keyboard is the bees knees.

I'm in the market for another one since my wifi one bit the dust (long story based on my own stupidity) and am hoping to hear some news of the AT&T variant coming out soon . . otherwise I'll pick up another wifi one.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hajime_android:
But the Note PRO 12.2 has a low DPI. When enlarging the letters, will they still look good? On the demo machine, I saw the 9 on the date/time made up of rugged pixels. The edge was not smooth looking.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Duly.noted:
Due to the way amoled works the dpi is basically pointless to look at. It treats each subpixel as an individual pixel. What you most likely saw was the lettering against a colored background. The only disadvantage to the slightly lower dpi is that sometimes amoleds 2 flaws are more visible than on the 10.1 these are colored text against a solid colored backround (think yellow text on a red background) and very sudden color changes (although this one is much harder to see and usually has to be looked for). At normal viewing distance however the screen should look pristine and indistinguishable from the 10.1
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
247 ppi is lower than the 299 ppi of the 10.1 yes but its not exactly low. In contrast an iPad retina display is 264 ppi vs 132 of the iPad 2. So I wouldn't count out the 12.2 for lower resolution...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Duly.noted:
And the displayed resolution is still higher than the ipad air : D
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hajime_android:
Hello, I need to make the purchase this coming Friday (May 2). Either Note 10.1 2014 LTE or PRO 12.2 LTE Could you guys please help me to decide?

When I looked at the 10.1 2014 the first time, I was drawn into it for about half an hour. The screen was beautiful. When I looked at the PRO 12.2 the first time, the large pixels that made up the letters turned me off. The edges of letters like 9 and 6 are not smooth.

Based on the KK upgrade on the 10.1 2014, it seems that the lag issue for the 10.1 2014 has been solved. I know that the KK upgrade for the LTE version is not available yet. How is the wifi version of 10.1 2014 compared with the wifi version of PRO 12.2 in terms of performance, charing time from 0 to 100%, playing video while charging, and possible new issues? Perhaps based on this we could predict how the LTE version of 10.1 2014 compared with the LTE version of PRO 12.2?

P.S. Whichever tablet I buy cannot be used to replace a laptop for work. There are applications for Mac and Windows that I need for my work. Currently I have the MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display but I will probably replace it with an up-coming MacBook Air 13". Some mentioned that the PRO 12.2 has a better battery life. It is heavier. How about getting an external power pack for the 10.1 2014? Will it be better than the PRO 12.2?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hajime_android:
Hi Diogenes5,

With the KK upgrade for 10.1 2014 and my new requirements, what suggestions do you have?

I guess you also read academic research papers in university, which size is better and in terms of what?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] hajime_android:
Hi guys, really need to purchase on tomorrow or the day after. Having spent too much time on the decision. Any final advice? I think I mentioned somewhere that I do street dancing. I don't want to leave my bag with the device on the street while I dance. Need to carry it with me. Wonder how the extra weight of the 12.2 could affect me.

Another concern is the unable to write to sdcard issue under KK. Perhaps I better get the 10.1 2014 with Jelly Beans now and then upgrade to KK once the issue has been fixed? No plan to root yet.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Spere:
That ext. sd cadr issue..

I haven't noticed anything about it. Maby I'm really missing something on this, but at least for now, I haven't noticed anything that would be different between my JB Note 3 and KK NP 12.2.

And if I'm right, was the problem with applications that they can'u use SD card, not so much Android's or Samsung's problem? (They need some premissions --> developer can update them)

Can you give some feedback on its

1) real world web browsing speed e.g. having 10-15-20 tabs of chrome open at the same time?

2) the fact that handwriting capture/input is not 1 to 1 i.e. there is some latency, and how that impacts the device's handwriting/note taking function.

Thanks

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I would probably use TW more if it allowed some scaling of the grid size. My Timely clock widget is so massive it covers a third of my screen and on a screen over 5,5 inches that is just too much. I've waited for Samsung to add scaling since the Note 1 and now I just don't use TW anymore.

Hi all,

Ever since I updated to KitKat and I'm having trouble downloading from the Zedge app..it keeps telling me download failed...an update for the app have just been released a while ago, so I was hoping this would fix it..but it didn't..I even uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, still the same error.

Can anybody with a 4.4.2 rom test it and see if they get the same thing? I can't download any ringtones or notifications at all.

Yes... replacing it lol.

Joking aside.. batteries will start to drain faster and fail eventually. I don't know where you live, but around my area (Asia), batteries are faily cheap ($12-16USD).

Not worth the risk messing with those things when you can get a new replacement.
