All of the apps launched fast and once I got the hang of resizing the windows, it was a great way to quickly look things up without having to exit the app I was using. By simply swiping left from the right edge, you can make a variety of multiwindow apps appear, for your productivity - or procrastination - pleasure.

SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB A 8.4 PRO
Just like a few Samsung Galaxy tablets before it, the Tab Pro 8.4 has multiwindow capabilities. The large number of customization options truly do optimize your listening experience. Large games sometimes crashed if there were too many apps open, but they otherwise loaded quickly and performance was consistently smooth. Mobile games like Flappy Bird, Angry Birds, and Candy Crush ran without a hitch. The quality is still a bit fuzzy, but I was impressed by the image stabilization. Video taken with the camera was surprisingly stable, even when taken while the camera was moving around. The front 2-megapixel camera is pretty decent photos are both a little grainy and fuzzy, and there's a slight reddish tint to the photos. The left photo is without the flash, the center photo uses a low-light mode, and the right one uses the rear LED flash. RemotePC worked well as a way to access files and perform other small tasks, but it lagged too much to use as you would your normal workstation.ĭespite the low-light possibilities, using the flash in dark situations always worked best.

Samsung's Pro line of tablets, which include a 10.1-incher and the abovementioned 12.2-inch behemoth, ship with a few productivity apps, including Hancom Office, a six-month free subscription for WebEx Meetings, and a two-year subscription to RemotePC, which allows you to remotely access your PC or Mac from the tablet.

For a different perspective on Samsung's Magazine UX, check out Eric Franklin's review of the Samsung Galaxy Note Tab Pro 12.2. If you're not a fan of the Magazine UX, you can minimize its presence on your tablet, but Samsung offers no way to opt out of it. I like the new Windows 8-reminiscent experience of the Magazine UX pages, but also appreciate the regular ol' TouchWiz features just as much (I'm talking to you, WatchOn remote). However, it was a little buggy at times - I was frequently asked to make my "first magazine" after trying to save articles, even though I already had many magazines set up, and swiping between pages sometimes lagged. But I digress, because I eventually came around to liking it, since the Magazine UX added more photography, as well as colorful imagery, to the day-to-day tablet experience. It's like a glorified shortcut made beautiful, only to take advantage of the pixel-dense screen. Though the integration with Flipboard is nice, you're often just led into the app itself from the Magazine UX page.

SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB A 8.4 UPDATE
I found some of the news widget categories to be less interesting than others, with as few as one update per day, and the social widgets were too small and showed limited information, making it a constrained way to consume your social media. You can choose between news, social, and app widgets and the customization options are simple, but a bit time-consuming to set up. Instead of putting widgets on the same screen as normal app icons (which you can still do), the Magazine UX pages are completely composed of tile-like widgets. Samsung's latest version of TouchWiz offers many of the same options as before, but the new Magazine UX adds a fresh Flipboard functionality.

This is especially frustrating if you're in the middle of a movie (or a "House of Cards" binge). When using the tablet in landscape orientation, the capacitive buttons - whether in your right or left hand - can accidentally be triggered by the simple grazing of a finger. A tragic downside to the tablet's design is the placement of the capacitive buttons on the bottom bezel.
