The New Samsung NotePro is New

Samsung showcased their new Samsung Galaxy NotePro. It’s a tablet with, in a lack of better terminology, freakin’ amazing specifications. Here they are 12.2 inch Super Clear LCD screen with a 2560×1600 resolution

• LTE Version: 2.3 GHz Quad Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor
• 3G Version: 1.9 GHz Exynos 5 Octa processor
• RAM: 3 GB
• 32/64 GB storage
• Up to 64 GB microSD storage
• 8 MP back camera with LED flash; full HD video recording and Zero Shutter lag
• 2 MP front camera
• Bluetooth 4.0
• USB 3.0
• WiFi ready: 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac; MIMO technology
• GPS and GLONASS enabled
• 9500 mAh battery
• Android 4.4 KitKat
• S-Pen Stylus; dedicated software such as Remote PC, Samsung e-Meeting etc.

The OS is Android KitKat 4.4 running, what Samsung calls it, a “Magazine UX” environment. The GUI is different with the typical Android GUI. It feels very much like Windows with stacked tiles of up to six gathered and organized. The leather backing gives it a nice, professional look. The stylus is proprietary, meaning other S-Pen styluses will not work. Notice that there are two versions of the tablet: a 3G version and an LTE version. The LTE version has a more powerful processor compared to the 3G version, but both offer tremendous processing. There are other screen sizes of the Samsung Galaxy NotePro: a 10.1 inch and 8 inch display – both bragging a sharper display. The price has not yet been announced, but it’s projected to be around the $300 – $400 range.

I’m sure Samsung has more up their sleeve, and I cannot wait to hear more.

Motorola ATRIX HD LTE

Motorola has been a powerful adversary in the mobile industry. They’ve released multiple phones such as the RAZR, ATRIX and the coming MOTO X.

Honestly, this phone looks amazing. The design is phenomenal and the look of it is just awesome!

I personally own a Motorola phone: the Motorola Atrix HD LTE.

It’s a pretty “old” phone. I got a few months back. When I purchased it, the phone was free for any contracted plan. I usually pay $22/month, so it was a steal. The only reason why it was free was because they were going to take it off the market. I actually got a dying phone. It’s not a good thing, but hey, at least I have a rare phone! Well, not necessarily.

The phone is great. It’s built to perform with a Dual Core SnapDragon Processor. It has 1 GB RAM and 8 GB of internal memory. What’s cool about this phone is that it is built with a Kevlar body and Gorilla glass screen. I can literally drop this on the floor and it wouldn’t break the screen or break the phone. It’s awesome.

It has the Android Ice Cream Sandwich Nexus OS. The GUI is beautiful, but I wish it would be smoother. At times it does lag and with the minimal RAM, sometimes apps crash or even the OS crashes.

The design is beautiful. At first I was not used to the 5” size of the screen, but I’m fine with it now. It has an awesome gun metal black design with the Motorola name on top of its speakers.

Overall, the design is great, the processing is fine and the phone is sturdy. Truly, this one is built for me and my accident-prone hands. I give it a 7 out of 10.
