**The Ultimate Tablet Experience: A Review of the Samsung Galaxy Note 12.2**

As I sat at the card game, surrounded by friends and acquaintances, I pulled out my trusty Samsung Galaxy Note 12.2 tablet to keep track of the score. With its sleek design and user-friendly interface, this device was a perfect fit for our casual gaming session. The s pen feature proved to be a game-changer, allowing me to easily keep up with the scores and share them on social media in just a few clicks. No more rummaging through papers or pens; everything was digitized, making it a breeze to stay organized.

But what really impressed me about this tablet was its versatility. While we were playing cards, I used the s pen to crop and paste parts of emails, demonstrating its ability to multitask with ease. Later on, when I wanted to take a screenshot of the scores, I quickly snapped a photo and posted it on Facebook, sharing it with everyone who was in the game. It was clear that this tablet was not just a tool for gaming but also a powerful device that could handle various tasks.

Speaking of features, I must say that the s pen is one of the standout attributes of this tablet. With its numerous uses, from drawing pictures to editing documents, it's an essential tool for anyone looking to maximize their productivity and creativity. While some might argue that there are too many features, I believe that this tablet truly has something for everyone.

**The Floss Factor: Pulling Ahead**

When it comes to the floss factor – a term that refers to the prestige and exclusivity of owning a particular device – the Samsung Galaxy Note 12.2 is undoubtedly at the top of its game. Walking into a room with this tablet, you're instantly recognizable as someone who values style, substance, and cutting-edge technology. Whether it's paired with your Galaxy Watch or Gear, this tablet exudes a sense of sophistication that sets it apart from other devices.

But what really solidifies its position at the top is its ability to multitask like no other device can. While iPads may have their own strengths, they simply can't compete with the Note 12.2's capabilities when it comes to handling multiple tasks simultaneously. Whether you're scrolling through emails, checking social media, or streaming your favorite shows, this tablet delivers.

**The Verdict: A Solid Nine**

If I were to nitpick, one area where this tablet falls short is in terms of speaker placement. If the speakers were positioned on the front, rather than the sides, I would have given it a perfect score. Nonetheless, that minor quibble aside, the Samsung Galaxy Note 12.2 truly stands out as one of the best tablets available.

With its impressive features, sleek design, and seamless performance, this tablet is an essential tool for anyone looking to upgrade their mobile experience. Whether you're a gamer, a productivity enthusiast, or simply someone who values convenience and style, this device has something to offer.

In conclusion, if you're in the market for a new tablet that can keep up with your lifestyle, look no further than the Samsung Galaxy Note 12.2. With its impressive features, user-friendly interface, and seamless performance, it's an investment that's sure to pay off.

**Accessories: The Ultimate Upgrade**

As I mentioned earlier, this tablet is paired with a variety of accessories that elevate its overall experience. From the sleek Galaxy Watch to the stylish Gear accessory, these devices seamlessly integrate with your Note 12.2, providing a cohesive and streamlined ecosystem.

Whether you're looking to upgrade your mobile accessories or simply want to explore new ways to enhance your tablet experience, there's no shortage of options available. With its range of customization possibilities, this tablet is sure to appeal to anyone who values flexibility and creativity.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enyo what's up everybody it's your boy floss back again with another video and today we're going to do the real review of the samsung galaxy note pro 12.2 now shout out to everybody who's seen the unboxing video we already covered a lot of the basic stuff so i'm gonna try to make this one a little bit shorter and just cover the important stuff that you really want to know about this tablet so without beating around the bush let's get right into it now if you've seen any of my other videos you know i always like to talk about the stuff i don't like first and then we'll get into all the stuff that i do like so let's get into the stuff i don't like first number one the price now i got the 32 gig version the price for this one is 750 plus tax so you're looking at almost 800 now i really think samsung should have made a 16 gig version because keep in mind the note pro series has the removable micro sd card so you already got expandable memory so they should have came out with a 16 gig version and dropped the price for that one to maybe 650 this way they can compete with the ipads and the nexus and you know some of the other tablets on the market this one the price is a little bit steep so if you want the 64 gig version it's gonna you're going to be looking at almost 900 so that's one thing i don't like right right there is the price but um if you got money to spend then you don't really care about the price or if you just really want the top dog out then that's what it is you just got to pay that extra hundred dollars next speakers on the side that's another thing i don't like now don't get me wrong the speakers on this is pretty good but i really wish they would have kept them on the front like they did on the last galaxy note series on the 10.1 you know that was a lot better now i find myself holding a tablet in my hands like this a lot of the times and i found myself covering up the speakers you know muffling them out a little bit the speakers sound good they could be a little bit better don't get me wrong now i'm not saying the speakers is whack but um the speakers could use a little bit more bass but when you're playing music and all that stuff it sounds good i'll play some videos in a minute don't get me wrong speakers sound good but um i just don't like the placement now as dual speakers that's a go but i wish it would have been dual speakers in the front next now this tablet is called the note pro because they're really marketing towards using business features and all that but one thing i will say is some of the business features don't work that great i'll show you something what i'm talking about right now take a look at the spreadsheets now i'm not going to show you the information i have on a spreadsheet so i got some sensitive stuff on here but the spreadsheet interface could have been a lot better as opposed to some of the windows tablets that's out right now like the surface pro and all that those are real pro tablets this one the spreadsheets do work everything works but the interface is not that great whatever it gets the job done but whatever if you're going to call the tablet the note pro like you know marketing or marketing towards using business features and all that i think they could have did better with the business stuff on it but it is what it is so that's the three things about this tablet that i'm not really feeling too much the price the speakers and some of the some of the bloatware on it um it's just um spammy you know what i'm saying not really or up to par for that price 750. now with that being said let's get into everything that i do like about this tablet first off the build the build quality on this is killing all other tablets out right now it's super light if you look at the back it has that leather look that you have on your galaxy note 3 that nice leatherish pleather you know pleasant kind of back with the stitching and all that that just looks nice the metal around the sides makes it look more premium has that quality build feel to it and keep in mind you spend the 750 for it you don't expect a big you know plastic tablet like the last one is still plastic but it just looks a lot better you know the way the way they made the s plan everything just looks a little bit updated compared to the last version so the build quality is definitely a go and it's definitely lighter than a lot of the tablet sets out right now and keep in mind 12.2 inches this is a big giant tablet so you don't want a big giant tablet that's going to be big and heavy so this is big and light it has a nice you know build quality to it and if you got a galaxy note 3 it matches the note 3 perfectly all right so that's a good look right there i'm definitely feeling the build next to display now 12.2 inches diagonally this is probably one of the biggest tablets out right now now you know keep in mind you got those detachable windows you know uh pc slash uh tablet slash laptops and all that we're talking about just straight up tablet wise this is a big giant tablet the display now y'all know i don't really like to get into specs and all of that but i will throw them out there real quick the display is two uh two five sixty by uh 1600 which is 247 ppi as y'all know i'm reading that right off the box like everybody else does you know what i'm saying now what does that mean in english all that means that the display is beautiful and if you want to do a little comparison the display is actually better than the ipad because the ipad is 2480 by 1536 so this has actual better display than the ipad now i don't get into all the tech mumbo jumbo specs and all that basically what that means is the display on this is beautiful when you're looking at pictures when you're watching videos when you're playing around on facebook and twitter you're not gonna have a problem everything looks crispy all the pictures you can see all the definition when you're on instagram now instagram on this is kind of crazy because it's you know it's real big and you know most people take pictures to put on instagram with you know little camera phones and all that so the picture quality drops a little bit on the big giant screen but when you're watching our videos and all that stuff the display makes it a beautiful experience all right so this is a good look right there i'm filling the display the processor now you got an octa-core processor which is two quad-core processors we talked about that in the unboxing video all that mumbo jumbo all that means basically is that the tablet is super fast and when you're doing multitasking you're not going to have that lag between windows and i'll show you that in a minute now just keep in mind this has also has three gigs of ram so just like a galaxy note fast processor extra smooth no hiccups all right let's talk about the battery now battery on this 9500 milliamps now y'all know i'm really into battery chargers and portable batteries and all that because i'm basically on the road 24 7. so you need a tablet that has a great battery this is it right here now i've been using this for about a month i used it so hard in the last three days i got about two and a half days of heavy beast mode usage on this before i had to charge the battery so the batteries are going this now one thing i will say if you're not using the new usb 3.0 charger that comes with it or the one from your note and you're just using a regular micro usb charger it's going to take a while to charge all right it takes a little bit longer than your average device to charge up if you're not using the provided cable which a lot of times you you know you find yourself outside you're just going to use whatever charge you got this one will take a little bit longer to charge that's the only thing downside about the battery it takes a while to charge but once it's fully charged up you're looking at two good days of full use all right so now if you work an eight hour shift or whatever and you take this to work with you you can watch videos all day long you could be in your pandora in the background you can be on your emails and all that without no problems at all next let's talk about the camera now the camera on this pretty much the same camera that you got on your galaxy note let me let's pull up the camera real quick and see what it looks like you got all the features just like on your note i'm not going to get into all these one by one if you want to see how to use these check out my galaxy note 3 real review i kind of went into detail with all of these different modes but the camera on this is pretty good you got eight megapixel on the back you got a two megapixel in the front that's basically all you need you know what i'm saying now if you're outside and using this tablet the camera is perfect for if you're sitting down at the airport or you're sitting down at the dmv and you're playing some games checking your email or something and you know something pops off and you have this in your hand and you just want to take a quick picture or a quick video this will do the job but eight megapixels and two megapixels on the front that's not the top of the line you know windows phones have better cameras and all that whatever if you're under 50 years old you're not really going to be at a graduation or something using this to record and take pictures and all that that's really for the old school cats that do that so you know camera is good enough for you facetime uh not facetiming for your uvo and your skype and all that the 2.0 megapixel camera in the front perfect for that you're not gonna have a problem using skype and the camera in the back perfect for taking little pictures in the house and you know if you're in the bed and you're your cat like me your cats start doing something crazy and you got the tablet in your hand and you want to snap a quick picture camera works fine for that so i'm digging the camera on this eight megapixel that's good enough for me next let's talk about the ir blaster on the top now the ir blaster on this is is what separates this from a lot of the other tablets out now and if you never used it i advise you to start using it because the ir blaster is a win especially for apps like samsung watch on appeal smart remote when you open these apps up and you point your tablet toward the tv you're able to use your tablet as a remote control so now if i want to see what's on tv right now let's just hit up the uh see what's on the channels right now i can see what's on the comedies get the kids in the house you want to see what's playing for them you want to see what's on your first runs documentaries you know it just breaks it up into different different uh categories different settings you can set it up the way you want or you can just have a regular tv guide see what's playing on tv if i want to watch rocky i'll just click on it and i can just hit watch on tv and also you have a remote control on the side so i can turn this in turn the channels and all that so the ir blaster works good with that it works perfect with samsung watch on it's a go if you got it and you haven't used it yet whether on your phone or this tablet trust me play with it after a while you won't even use your regular remote control anymore like me i don't even use my remote controls anymore i just use my tablets all right now i also have google tv and the google tv remote control works perfect on this also if you don't have google tv i advise you to check that out but i use this as a big giant remote control for my google tv alright so the ir blaster is a definite plus on this tablet you can't do that on your ipads next let's talk about some of the features now you got the new interface with the magazine ux now basically all that is is pretty much flipboard all right we're not going to get too deep into that it's just flipboard with a new name so i got like you got your news stories right here i got it set up with style gotta set up with the sports you just flip up on it and my favorite category science and technology so you open it up right here and you can read some of the latest stories that's out flip it like a magazine this works exactly like flipboard all right but you know it's a little bit smoother in my opinion but it pretty much looks the same now keep in mind you can customize these the way you want you don't have to have it like this you can hold down on it and remove it change the page no do whatever you want on the next one so you could change the layouts change the widgets and all of that but let's show you the next one now the next page we have on the magazine ux like i said just set them up set them up the way you want i got mine set up with my emails my calendar we got youtube right here so i can check out the latest youtube videos other people i subscribe to you got samsung watch on i'll put a separate tile for that so this way i can just see what some you know kind of movies that i like i got to set up and see what's coming on i also have my twitter and also i have a video player so if i want to click on the video player let's just watch you know see what video i was watching last let's put his play on this here's a video i took real quick driving in the car all right so that's how that works all right so that's the magazine ux that's a new feature on this as opposed to the regular touchwiz this kind of gives it that magazine style so if you're sitting in the airport or whatever and you want to feel like you're reading magazines then use this but even you know even if you don't have a notepro just get flipboard same thing all right fully customizable all right now let's talk about my favorite feature of this tablet the multitasking now this is what separates this tablet from anything else in the market right now if you look at the bottom you got your two touch capacitive buttons and your physical home button one is for your recently used apps which makes it easy to go back to whatever you was looking at and one is a back button but this also has the four windows at once feature and let me show you how that works all you do is slide to the side you get a list of all the apps that you can use this with now keep in mind when you root the tablet i'm pretty sure you're gonna be able to put any app you want but right now stock out of the box you only have access to a certain amount of apps that you could use for the multitasking like this but it's good apps that you need to use so let's open up one first let's open up the browser so now a lot of browsers open up if i want to open up my emails you just drag and drop all right so now i got the browser open and i got my emails open together you click the button on the middle you can open up your folders now i only got one folder right now but i'll show you i'll put a few more folders on it you can open your folders like i said if you want to get a full detail on how to use all these features check out my galaxy note 3 real review i'm not going to waste too much time on all this but um pretty much the same you can move these around make them bigger or smaller so i can have just a little list of my emails on the side and a big internet page in the middle now say we want to open up uh some more stuff let's open up a google chrome as a third window and let's see let's open up uh some music as the fourth window so now this is kind of sick because now i can be using four apps at once okay so i could be listening to music browsing the web browsing a different web browser and checking my emails all at once now let's open up something on top of this one let's see uh let's open up another internet browser right here and then we'll also open up a dolphin browser right here now you see i got all of the pages i just opened up turn the folders so i can use all of that you can change these around flip the orders up and now you see with the with the octa-core processor now you see it's almost no delay between windows that was one of the problems with the last tablet it was a little bit of delay now you see no delay between the windows now you can go home on this open your recently used apps go to your internet and all four pop back up so that's a good look right there now let me show you something real quick with the s pen while i'm in this i can pull out my s pen let's use a pen window real quick and while i'm doing this i can actually open up another app so say i need a calculator real quick i can open up a calculator use some calculators while i'm still doing all these other stuff alright so multitasking on this is officially beast right here all right official beast mode multitasking and don't get no better than that like i said i'm not gonna go into you know into too much detail and all that i already did that on my galaxy note 3 video if you want to see how that all the features work a little you know a little bit more in detail check that out but it pretty much works exactly the same on the tablet but on a larger scale which makes it a lot better because now you got more real estate on the screen to play around with your s pen and i have the four apps open at once if you got four apps open at once on a small phone it's gonna look crazy because it's gonna be four small teeny apps that'll really help you so in a big tablet like this the 12.2 inch screen the multitasking takes full advantage of having that big giant screen so that's a good look right there now as far as the s pen you get the same features as your galaxy note you hear that sound when i pull it out i got it set up like this where my air command pops right open you got the same features action memo your scrapbooker screen right your s finder and your pen window which i just which i just showed you so we're not going to go into all those features it's pretty much the same as the galaxy note 3 but they work all right so basically this tablet is like having a big galaxy note 3 you know what i'm saying a lot of the features still work on it the screen swipe still works take a screenshot if you get this tablet let me tell you something our app that you really need to get get groove ip you see it right there because now when i'm in the house this tablet does everything all right so i hit groove ip i can use the tablet as a phone so while i'm on the phone making a phone call i could be checking emails checking the web playing around on twitter and looking at some instagram pictures all at the same time so this is a do-it-all tablet right here alright so the s pen on this is a go that's a feature i'm definitely feeling that's pretty much my one of my favorite features also is the s pen now let's check out the scrapbook real quick let's see do i have any notes matter of fact um let's see uh s note now let me tell you a quick story real quick quick story real quick now my mom's birthday party we had a little card game you know what i'm saying and um i had my tablet with me look how hot this was being able to keep the score using my s pen so now while we at the card game everybody's drinking everybody's playing around we're having a good time you know you don't have to go look for a pen and paper because nobody really got that laying around these days that you know everything is all digital so now without having a pen and paper i was able to use this and keep the score and not only keep the score at the end take a screenshot and post it on everybody's facebook wall who was in the game especially shout out to shout out to my little sister who got bodied you know i'm saying so i was able to take a screenshot of the scores and post it right to facebook so the s pen feature on this has so many different uses but like i said i really use it for having fun i really use it for cropping and pasting you know cutting parts of emails out and sending them to other people you know s pen has too many features to really get into but the s pen is a definite go all right last but not least the floss factor what's the floss factor on this tablet if you don't know what the floss factor is that means when you go somewhere and you pull out your galaxy note pro 12.2 and somebody else is sitting next to you and they're using the ipad the person on the left you got the microsoft uh the surface pro this one got the toshiba joint who's sitting on top of the food chain well the floss factor on this tablet right here i'm giving it a 10. all right this tablet is huge it has the perfect look to it look and design the perfect build especially if you got your galaxy note 3 and you got your galaxy gear watch you know you got the trifecta right there and keep in mind you can also pair this tablet up to your galaxy to your galaxy note uh your galaxy gear and your galaxy note pro pair them up together all right so if i'm in the house a lot of times i'll pair up to my watch so this way when i'm in the bed i got the tablet on the side you know if i'm in between and i gotta run back out i might just have this paired up to my watch i still get my emails and everything while my phone is off oh my my my galaxy note is charging up a lot of times i turn it off and charge it so it charge up a little bit faster so this way i'm still connected but like i was saying as far as the floss factor goes this is the biggest one this is the baddest one this tablet does everything now a lot of people are gonna say what's better this or the ipad i'm gonna go with this tablet for sure easily no no questions asked you know pretty much you could do everything that you could do on your ipad on this but you can't do everything on your ipad that you can do with this one so basically what does that mean well your ipad doesn't have multitasking like that your ipad doesn't have an s pen your ipad doesn't have removable storage this has a bit bigger battery better resolution the dual speakers i mean this this is just better than an ipad to me my personal opinion it does way more stuff than the ipad it costs more than an ipad but you get what you pay for basically so the floss factor on this is a 10 when you're pulling this out you shutting everybody else down you're sitting on top of the food chain especially when you pull out your s pen you start drawing pictures and you start cropping and pasting stuff you can't go wrong with that like i said i'm not in getting to all of the features because they're pretty much the same as the galaxy note 3 so you already know most of the features but my personal opinion on this tablet on a scale of one to ten i'm giving it a solid nine if the speakers was on the front i would have gave this tablet a solid 10. but overall this is the best tablet i got right now this is my go-to tablet this is a tablet i'm i'm pretty much using every day i got a bunch of accessories we'll get into some of those in a minute and we keep it moving shout out to everybody that rocked me on facebook foursquare twitter google plus shout out to all the ghoul gangsters i see all them down that facebook page shout out to everybody hit me up on boxer and a special shout out to everybody rock with me on instagram y'all know that's where i'm at full time 100 full throttle it's your boy floss i'm gonna catch up with y'all in the next trip all y'all haters all y'all trolls go eat a dick it's your boy floss i'm out deucesyo what's up everybody it's your boy floss back again with another video and today we're going to do the real review of the samsung galaxy note pro 12.2 now shout out to everybody who's seen the unboxing video we already covered a lot of the basic stuff so i'm gonna try to make this one a little bit shorter and just cover the important stuff that you really want to know about this tablet so without beating around the bush let's get right into it now if you've seen any of my other videos you know i always like to talk about the stuff i don't like first and then we'll get into all the stuff that i do like so let's get into the stuff i don't like first number one the price now i got the 32 gig version the price for this one is 750 plus tax so you're looking at almost 800 now i really think samsung should have made a 16 gig version because keep in mind the note pro series has the removable micro sd card so you already got expandable memory so they should have came out with a 16 gig version and dropped the price for that one to maybe 650 this way they can compete with the ipads and the nexus and you know some of the other tablets on the market this one the price is a little bit steep so if you want the 64 gig version it's gonna you're going to be looking at almost 900 so that's one thing i don't like right right there is the price but um if you got money to spend then you don't really care about the price or if you just really want the top dog out then that's what it is you just got to pay that extra hundred dollars next speakers on the side that's another thing i don't like now don't get me wrong the speakers on this is pretty good but i really wish they would have kept them on the front like they did on the last galaxy note series on the 10.1 you know that was a lot better now i find myself holding a tablet in my hands like this a lot of the times and i found myself covering up the speakers you know muffling them out a little bit the speakers sound good they could be a little bit better don't get me wrong now i'm not saying the speakers is whack but um the speakers could use a little bit more bass but when you're playing music and all that stuff it sounds good i'll play some videos in a minute don't get me wrong speakers sound good but um i just don't like the placement now as dual speakers that's a go but i wish it would have been dual speakers in the front next now this tablet is called the note pro because they're really marketing towards using business features and all that but one thing i will say is some of the business features don't work that great i'll show you something what i'm talking about right now take a look at the spreadsheets now i'm not going to show you the information i have on a spreadsheet so i got some sensitive stuff on here but the spreadsheet interface could have been a lot better as opposed to some of the windows tablets that's out right now like the surface pro and all that those are real pro tablets this one the spreadsheets do work everything works but the interface is not that great whatever it gets the job done but whatever if you're going to call the tablet the note pro like you know marketing or marketing towards using business features and all that i think they could have did better with the business stuff on it but it is what it is so that's the three things about this tablet that i'm not really feeling too much the price the speakers and some of the some of the bloatware on it um it's just um spammy you know what i'm saying not really or up to par for that price 750. now with that being said let's get into everything that i do like about this tablet first off the build the build quality on this is killing all other tablets out right now it's super light if you look at the back it has that leather look that you have on your galaxy note 3 that nice leatherish pleather you know pleasant kind of back with the stitching and all that that just looks nice the metal around the sides makes it look more premium has that quality build feel to it and keep in mind you spend the 750 for it you don't expect a big you know plastic tablet like the last one is still plastic but it just looks a lot better you

build quality to it and if you got a galaxy note 3 it matches the note 3 perfectly all right so that's a good look right there i'm definitely feeling the build next to display now 12.2 inches diagonally this is probably one of the biggest tablets out right now now you know keep in mind you got those detachable windows you know uh pc slash uh tablet slash laptops and all that we're talking about just straight up tablet wise this is a big giant tablet the display now y'all know i don't really like to get into specs and all of that but i will throw them out there real quick the display is two uh two five sixty by uh 1600 which is 247 ppi as y'all know i'm reading that right off the box like everybody else does you know what i'm saying now what does that mean in english all that means that the display is beautiful and if you want to do a little comparison the display is actually better than the ipad because the ipad is 2480 by 1536 so this has actual better display than the ipad

big giant screen but when you're watching our videos and all that stuff the display makes it a beautiful experience all right so this is a good look right there i'm filling the display the processor now you got an octa-core processor which is two quad-core processors we talked about that in the unboxing video all that mumbo jumbo all that means basically is that the tablet is super fast and when you're doing multitasking you're not going to have that lag between windows and i'll show you that in a minute now just keep in mind this has also has three gigs of ram so just like a galaxy note fast processor extra smooth no hiccups all right let's talk about the battery now battery on this 9500 milliamps now y'all know i'm really into battery chargers and portable batteries and all that because i'm basically on the road 24 7. so you need a tablet that has a great battery this is it right here now i've been using this for about a month i used it so hard in the last three days i got about two and a half days of heavy beast mode usage on this before i had to charge the battery so the batteries are going this now one thing i will say if you're not using the new usb 3.0 charger that comes with it or the one from your note and you're just using a regular micro usb charger it's going to take a while to charge all right it takes a little bit longer than your average device to charge up if you're not using the provided cable which a lot of times you you know you find yourself outside you're just going to use whatever charge you got this one will take a little bit longer to charge that's the only thing downside about the battery it takes a while to charge but once it's fully charged up you're looking at two good days of full use all right so now if you work an eight hour shift or whatever and you take this to work with you you can watch videos all day long you could be in your pandora in the background you can be on your emails and all that without no problems at all next let's talk about the camera now the camera on this pretty much the same camera that you got on your galaxy note let me let's pull up the camera real quick and see what it looks like you got all the features just like on your note i'm not going to get into all these one by one if you want to see how to use these check out my galaxy note 3 real review i kind of went into detail with all of these different modes but the camera on this is pretty good you got eight megapixel on the back you got a two megapixel in the front that's basically all you need you know what i'm saying now if you're outside and using this tablet the camera is perfect for if you're sitting down at the airport or you're sitting down at the dmv and you're playing some games checking your email or something and you know something pops off and you have this in your hand and you just want to take a quick picture or a quick video this will do the job but eight megapixels and two megapixels on the front that's not the top of the line you know windows phones have better cameras and all that whatever if you're under 50 years old you're not really going to be at a graduation or something using this to record and take pictures and all that that's really for the old school cats that do that so you know camera is good enough for you facetime uh not facetiming for your uvo and your skype and all that the 2.0 megapixel camera in the front perfect for that you're not gonna have a problem using skype and the camera in the back perfect for taking little pictures in the house and you know if you're in the bed and you're your cat like me your cats start doing something crazy and you got the tablet in your hand and you want to snap a quick picture camera works fine for that so i'm digging the camera on this eight megapixel that's good enough for me next let's talk about the ir blaster on the top now the ir blaster on this is is what separates this from a lot of the other tablets out now and if you never used it i advise you to start using it because the ir blaster is a win especially for apps like samsung watch on appeal smart remote when you open these apps up and you point your tablet toward the tv you're able to use your tablet as a remote control so now if i want to see what's on tv right now let's just hit up the uh see what's on the channels right now i can see what's on the comedies get the kids in the house you want to see what's playing for them you want to see what's on your first runs documentaries you know it just breaks it up into different different uh categories different settings you can set it up the way you want or you can just have a regular tv guide see what's playing on tv if i want to watch rocky i'll just click on it and i can just hit watch on tv and also you have a remote control on the side so i can turn this in turn the channels and all that so the ir blaster works good with that it works perfect with samsung watch on it's a go if you got it and you haven't used it yet whether on your phone or this tablet trust me play with it after a while you won't even use your regular remote control anymore like me i don't even use my remote controls anymore i just use my tablets all right now i also have google tv and the google tv remote control works perfect on this also if you don't have google tv i advise you to check that out but i use this as a big giant remote control for my google tv alright so the ir blaster is a definite plus on this tablet you can't do that on your ipads next let's talk about some of the features now you got the new interface with the magazine ux now basically all that is is pretty much flipboard all right we're not going to get too deep into that it's just flipboard with a new name so i got like you got your news stories right here i got it set up with style gotta set up with the sports you just flip up on it and my favorite category science and technology so you open it up right here and you can read some of the latest stories that's out flip it like a magazine this works exactly like flipboard all right but you know it's a little bit smoother in my opinion but it pretty much looks the same now keep in mind you can customize these the way you want you don't have to have it like this you can hold down on it and remove it change the page no do whatever you want on the next one so you could change the layouts change the widgets and all of that but let's show you the next one now the next page we have on the magazine ux like i said just set them up set them up the way you want i got mine set up with my emails my calendar we got youtube right here so i can check out the latest youtube videos other people i subscribe to you got samsung watch on i'll put a separate tile for that so this way i can just see what some you know kind of movies that i like i got to set up and see what's coming on i also have my twitter and also i have a video player so if i want to click on the video player let's just watch you know see what video i was watching last let's put his play on this here's a video i took real quick driving in the car all right so that's how that works all right so that's the magazine ux that's a new feature on this as opposed to the regular touchwiz this kind of gives it that magazine style so if you're sitting in the airport or whatever and you want to feel like you're reading magazines then use this but even you know even if you don't have a notepro just get flipboard same thing all right fully customizable all right now let's talk about my favorite feature of this tablet the multitasking now this is what separates this tablet from anything else in the market right now if you look at the bottom you got your two touch capacitive buttons and your physical home button one is for your recently used apps which makes it easy to go back to whatever you was looking at and one is a back button but this also has the four windows at once feature and let me show you how that works all you do is slide to the side you get a list of all the apps that you can use this with now keep in mind when you root the tablet i'm pretty sure you're gonna be able to put any app you want but right now stock out of the box you only have access to a certain amount of apps that you could use for the multitasking like this but it's good apps that you need to use so let's open up one first let's open up the browser so now a lot of browsers open up if i want to open up my emails you just drag and drop all right so now i got the browser open and i got my emails open together you click the button on the middle you can open up your folders now i only got one folder right now but i'll show you i'll put a few more folders on it you can open your folders like i said if you want to get a full detail on how to use all these features check out my galaxy note 3 real review i'm not going to waste too much time on all this but um pretty much the same you can move these around make them bigger or smaller so i can have just a little list of my emails on the side and a big internet page in the middle now say we want to open up uh some more stuff let's open up a google chrome as a third window and let's see let's open up uh some music as the fourth window so now this is kind of sick because now i can be using four apps at once okay so i could be listening to music browsing the web browsing a different web browser and checking my emails all at once now let's open up something on top of this one let's see uh let's open up another internet browser right here and then we'll also open up a dolphin browser right here now you see i got all of the pages i just opened up turn the folders so i can use all of that you can change these around flip the orders up and now you see with the with the octa-core processor now you see it's almost no delay between windows that was one of the problems with the last tablet it was a little bit of delay now you see no delay between the windows now you can go home on this open your recently used apps go to your internet and all four pop back up so that's a good look right there now let me show you something real quick with the s pen while i'm in this i can pull out my s pen let's use a pen window real quick and while i'm doing this i can actually open up another app so say i need a calculator real quick i can open up a calculator use some calculators while i'm still doing all these other stuff alright so multitasking on this is officially beast right here all right official beast mode multitasking and don't get no better than that like i said i'm not gonna go into you know into too much detail and all that i already did that on my galaxy note 3 video if you want to see how that all the features work a little you know a little bit more in detail check that out but it pretty much works exactly the same on the tablet but on a larger scale which makes it a lot better because now you got more real estate on the screen to play around with your s pen and i have the four apps open at once if you got four apps open at once on a small phone it's gonna look crazy because it's gonna be four small teeny apps that'll really help you so in a big tablet like this the 12.2 inch screen the multitasking takes full advantage of having that big giant screen so that's a good look right there now as far as the s pen you get the same features as your galaxy note you hear that sound when i pull it out i got it set up like this where my air command pops right open you got the same features action memo your scrapbooker screen right your s finder and your pen window which i just which i just showed you so we're not going to go into all those features it's pretty much the same as the galaxy note 3 but they work all right so basically this tablet is like having a big galaxy note 3 you know what i'm saying a lot of the features still work on it the screen swipe still works take a screenshot if you get this tablet let me tell you something our app that you really need to get get groove ip you see it right there because now when i'm in the house this tablet does everything all right so i hit groove ip i can use the tablet as a phone so while i'm on the phone making a phone call i could be checking emails checking the web playing around on twitter and looking at some instagram pictures all at the same time so this is a do-it-all tablet right here alright so the s pen on this is a go that's a feature i'm definitely feeling that's pretty much my one of my favorite features also is the s pen now let's check out the scrapbook real quick let's see do i have any notes matter of fact um let's see uh s note now let me tell you a quick story real quick quick story real quick now my mom's birthday party we had a little card game you know what i'm saying and um i had my tablet with me look how hot this was being able to keep the score using my s pen so now while we at the card game everybody's drinking everybody's playing around we're having a good time you know you don't have to go look for a pen and paper because nobody really got that laying around these days that you know everything is all digital so now without having a pen and paper i was able to use this and keep the score and not only keep the score at the end take a screenshot and post it on everybody's facebook wall who was in the game especially shout out to shout out to my little sister who got bodied you know i'm saying so i was able to take a screenshot of the scores and post it right to facebook so the s pen feature on this has so many different uses but like i said i really use it for having fun i really use it for cropping and pasting you know cutting parts of emails out and sending them to other people you know s pen has too many features to really get into but the s pen is a definite go all right last but not least the floss factor what's the floss factor on this tablet if you don't know what the floss factor is that means when you go somewhere and you pull out your galaxy note pro 12.2 and somebody else is sitting next to you and they're using the ipad the person on the left you got the microsoft uh the surface pro this one got the toshiba joint who's sitting on top of the food chain well the floss factor on this tablet right here i'm giving it a 10. all right this tablet is huge it has the perfect look to it look and design the perfect build especially if you got your galaxy note 3 and you got your galaxy gear watch you know you got the trifecta right there and keep in mind you can also pair this tablet up to your galaxy to your galaxy note uh your galaxy gear and your galaxy note pro pair them up together all right so if i'm in the house a lot of times i'll pair up to my watch so this way when i'm in the bed i got the tablet on the side you know if i'm in between and i gotta run back out i might just have this paired up to my watch i still get my emails and everything while my phone is off oh my my my galaxy note is charging up a lot of times i turn it off and charge it so it charge up a little bit faster so this way i'm still connected but like i was saying as far as the floss factor goes this is the biggest one this is the baddest one this tablet does everything now a lot of people are gonna say what's better this or the ipad i'm gonna go with this tablet for sure easily no no questions asked you know pretty much you could do everything that you could do on your ipad on this but you can't do everything on your ipad that you can do with this one so basically what does that mean well your ipad doesn't have multitasking like that your ipad doesn't have an s pen your ipad doesn't have removable storage this has a bit bigger battery better resolution the dual speakers i mean this this is just better than an ipad to me my personal opinion it does way more stuff than the ipad it costs more than an ipad but you get what you pay for basically so the floss factor on this is a 10 when you're pulling this out you shutting everybody else down you're sitting on top of the food chain especially when you pull out your s pen you start drawing pictures and you start cropping and pasting stuff you can't go wrong with that like i said i'm not in getting to all of the features because they're pretty much the same as the galaxy note 3 so you already know most of the features but my personal opinion on this tablet on a scale of one to ten i'm giving it a solid nine if the speakers was on the front i would have gave this tablet a solid 10. but overall this is the best tablet i got right now this is my go-to tablet this is a tablet i'm i'm pretty much using every day i got a bunch of accessories we'll get into some of those in a minute and we keep it moving shout out to everybody that rocked me on facebook foursquare twitter google plus shout out to all the ghoul gangsters i see all them down that facebook page shout out to everybody hit me up on boxer and a special shout out to everybody rock with me on instagram y'all know that's where i'm at full time 100 full throttle it's your boy floss i'm gonna catch up with y'all
