Samsung Galaxy Note Pro and Tab Pro hands-on: First look 

Introduction 

Traditionally Samsung hasn't been the most exciting company to watch at CES, but this year the Koreans are really making their presence felt. Bringing the big tablet guns, the company definitely some of the hottest hardware of the show at its booth.
As a welcome change of pace we aren't just treated to TVs and Smart home appliances. Instead Samsung brought a Pro range of tablets, which spans across two families of ultra-high res powerhouses.
The Samsung Galaxy Note Pro leads the charge and there are three Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro slates to cover its back. Here's the kicker - we have a new tablet size in town - 12.2 inches. That's not very surprising of Samsung, as the company hasn't been shy about experimenting with new form factors and sizes and some of them have yielded amazing results - take the Galaxy
Anyway, we have met with all of them at the CES 2014 and we're ready to serve you our first. Before that though, let's take a look at what the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 and the variously sized Galaxy Tab Pro slates offer.
Note line-up of phablets, for example.
The new standard is offered on two different slates - the S Pen-enabled Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 and the conventional Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2. Those two are joined by the more traditional Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 and another new size for Samsung with the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. The latter is a direct competitor to the LG G Pad 8.3 and we're excited to see if it's a worthy one.
