Samsung Galaxy NotePro makes its UK debut today
We’ve encountered Samsung’s NotePro tablet before in our first look and hands on of the device. If you liked what you saw, then you’ll be happy to know that the NotePro is available for purchase in the UK starting today.
You can order the slate from John Lewis and Carphone Warehouse. Take a look at its specs after the jump to see if Samsung’s latest touchscreen slab is worth your hard-earned cash.
There are differently spec’d variations of the NotePro. Dominating both versions is a 12.2” 2560×1600 display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, Android Kit Kat out of the box, and 3GB RAM. Both versions also have 8MP primary cameras, 3MP front facing units, and microSD card clots capable of handling 64GB of additional storage space each, and 9500mAh batteries to power the device. Also, since it is a Note device, both tablets come with Samsung’s proprietary S-Pen.
Under the hood is where the options come in. You can get a version with an Exynos 5 Octacore CPU (made up of two processors: 1.9GHz quad-core, and 1.3GHz quad-core) 3G antenna (should you choose the option, there are WiFi only models as well). The LTE version of the NotePro comes with a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 CPU, and you can get the tablets in either 32GB or 64GB internal storage variants.
The WiFi only, 32GB option of the NotePro starts at £650, so expect to pay more with all of the additional bells and whistles in the other versions.

LG makes fun of the iPhone From an iPhone
It’s always fun to see other companies trip over themselves trying to come up with a joke on Apple every time the latter is going through some sort of controversy. This time it’s BendGate (yeah they just add -gate to everything now), where some iPhone 6 Plus units were found to be getting bent if enough force was applied to them (we’ll keep aside the fact that few were actual incidences and most were done on purpose on YouTube to get pageviews for now).
But while it’s cool to make fun of your competitors, the least you could do is, well. not use the product you are making fun of. Someone at LG France clearly forgot about this and in trying to join the #BendGate bandwagon ended up tweeting the joke from an iPhone, as revealed by Twitter.
The tweet in French in says “Our smartphones don’t bend, they are naturally curved” and features a picture of the LG G Flex, which, indeed, was curved before it was cool. But come on, the least you could do is not use an iPhone when you are making fun of it. Shouldn’t LG employees be using LG phones anyway?
