A 12-inch tablet, for what?

With few exceptions, we can divide the world of tablets in two categories: 10-11 inches and 7-8 inches. For a long time it was thought that the 10-inch size was perfect, and it can be the output of the first iPad was. But as often happens, we realize that other sizes may cover various usage scenarios, and to hold the device with one hand without resigning shoulder is appreciable. Hence the success of mini tablets like the Nexus 7 or

Our Video Test Samsung Galaxy Note iPad Mini Pro 12.2.

But that it is with those who are close to 10 inches? On paper, sauté the barrier is open the tablet to other uses: run multiple applications simultaneously, working on a more comfortable canvas for drawing particular, allow the use of multiple interfaces display panels (mounting video, music creation …), short maximize productivity and get the “cool device to watch videos on the sofa.”

The promise is interesting, but it still needs to be properly applied, and especially it has an ecosystem height. Wholesale Must impinge more about traditional uses “PC” that current tablets with little or no cover to compensate the tradeoffs in terms of ergonomics (more weight, reduced portability).



A thin tablet but not very light


Samsung takes no chances with the Galaxy Note Pro 12-inch: it is simply a variation of a … 12 inches the design of the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014. This means that the back faux leather (with fake stitching!) is renewed. Must at least admit that the texture provides a good grip, but for elegance, we revert

And it is advantageous that it is comfortable for the Galaxy Note Pro weighs its weight. To 744 g, forget already held in one hand, and even two, we reached the limits of what can be at arm’s length without inconvenience.

Who says Galaxy Note S-Pen stylus says unfortunately in the same version as on all other devices from Samsung. A small plastic pen therefore, not really pleasant to handle. At least we will not misplace:

No removable back is sometimes even slips the tip to remove the housing, but a Micro SD slot complements the 32GB of internal storage.. As on the latest Samsung devices (Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S5), Micro USB port is version 3.0.

at the back of the tablet, there is a camera, which proves to Moreover pretty good as long as you do not be afraid of public ridicule. Details are present (not too much, anyway) and colorimetry seemed fair enough.

Ditto for 1080p video, fluid and precise, although the autofocus lacks some responsiveness.

For pro use the webcam on the front will obviously be much more useful. It seemed display a correct image

giant screen but subpixels visible


At first contact, rout the screen size.’s ” true “12-inch tablets are rare. But what is it in practice? Say that there are very good and less good: the definition of 2560 x 1600 pixels is somewhat marred by the technology used. Samsung has opted for a PenTile matrix, and a large screen, the subpixels are quite clearly visible. They even create a moiré a bit annoying. It’s a shame, because for the rest, tile stands up very well. Satisfactory legibility, not too saturated colors and perfect for pro intended use, angles impeccable vision

This is probably because Samsung is not particularly the general public that the Exynos processor 5 which team the tablet is not distinguished by its 3D performance: clear, that’s enough to play Candy Crush between two meetings, but it is far from a Sony power Xperia Tablet Z2 for the most demanding titles. But it is not really significant use here, especially the considerable weight makes anyway uncomfortable games. Note: We tested the Wi-Fi version of the Galaxy Note Pro, which incorporates a 5 Exynos processor from Samsung. 4G version with a Snapdragon processor 800 displays undoubtedly superior graphics performance.



to use


Galaxy Note Pro seems cut for productivity . And practice? Samsung optimizations are somewhat mixed. We thus find the “multi-window” Last Galaxy Note or Galaxy S mode, but an improved version, to display up to 4 applications! In theory, the idea is quite good: the display surface is sufficient, and Samsung even manages some third party applications like Twitter or Evernote. We would still like more of them.

Unfortunately, the implementation of the functionality is frankly improved. two applications, one finds the usual operation of Samsung, and it works pretty well. Things get complicated with 3 or 4 applications. These are necessarily arranged in a square (not in column, for example, as proposed by Microsoft), and their size can not be set independently. You can only move the central point, and somewhat blindly, because the whole thing is redrawn once you release the handle. All really lack of responsiveness. Some applications may even be displayed as windows, and here it becomes downright confusing! In sum, implementation remains a risky real management resizing with sizes predefined windows as Windows 8.1 offers.

Another feature for the “pros” is a kind of declination of the fashion magazine to centralize in one page emails, recent documents, or calendar events. An overview of the Metro / Modern UI that does not bring much if you’re already using the center of notifications and widgets on the lock screen.

The tablet is catching up with its management stylus, always impeccable, whether to draw or make contextual Overview screen actions and offer well stocked for business. Knox, how to separate business and personal pro is present. But also a whiteboard application for collaborative meetings, a compatible office suite Office (for lack of a real Microsoft Office for Android tablet), and Cisco WebEx client.

For the rest, it naturally very well what a good tablet. Web surfing is smooth and comfortable, the 12-inch screen lets you enjoy videos in full screen, and email cilent compatible Exchange, has a three-panel display that has not much to envy a portable. Especially as the virtual keyboard is a success. In general, the ROM based on Android KitKat is rather pleasant to use, but perhaps lacking some optimizations

One good thing however. Autonomy is excellent. After 5 hours of use (web surfing, email sync, social networking, gaming, photo / video capture), the battery was still at 75% capacity. Video, screen thoroughly and Wi-Fi enabled, it takes a little less than seven hours to read a 720p rather demanding film, an hour more than iPad Air.



Conclusion


Galaxy Note Pro 12 inch does not leave a bad idea: we talk more and more tablet “pro”, and as usual, Samsung cleared land without asking too many questions, in case it would. And this may be exactly the problem! The manufacturer does not seem to have pushed his thinking far beyond “go out a large 12-inch tablet before Apple or Microsoft will not put” .

Note Pro is exactly that : great tablet with some software optimizations, but not a fully satisfactory to the needs of potential users of such a product response, at least in its current version. Especially since it does not ultimately add much compared to models 10 inches.

    Notes: Benzema was hungry, he ate it all – Eurosport.com FR

    Orgy offensive facing Jamaicans drew the outline of a complementarity between Valbuena, Giroud and Benzema, who broke everything for his return. Matuidi beamed Griezmann and confirmed its status of “Super Sub”. Notes in relief.

             Defensive Rating: 5
           


             He did not have much to put in the tooth but assured his catch ball in the air (22nd, 45th) and floor (66th). It reached more serene face Paraguay.
           


             
                Conclusion: Clean, efficient.
           


             Defensive rating: 6; Note offensive: 5
           


             A beautiful aggression in the tackle. When his defense is missed, he saved the furniture (13th and 33rd). The weakness of the opposition would have allowed him to take his lane but more often Sissoko has not always served and the Blues have more emphasis on the left side. Shot in a duel, the former Lille has left his place to Bacary Sagna at the break (defensive rating: 6; offensive rating: 5). Also could take more his lane but he shined by the accuracy of its investment (72). It remains behind Debuchy in the hierarchy.
           


             
                Conclusion: Effective if not bold.
           

    Debuchy Valbuena and agree perfectly on the ground – Panoramic

             Defensive rating: 6; Offensive rating: 6
           


             He caviar in shoes and lead in the head. Often just investment, controlled stimulus (superb opening Sissoko, 6th), Varane is a delight for the eyes. Face a very timid opposition, he sometimes shows a certain facility (21e). He conceded avoidable corner (49th) and will be more effective in the next Sunday. Still dangerous on corners, he could go to his small goal (57).
           


             
                Conclusion:
               Koscielny can be chickweed.
           


             Defensive rating: 6; Offensive rating: 4
           


             Whether Jamaica friendly or Ukraine dams Sakho puts the same intensity. His passes withdrawal riders still chilling and it does not bother snapbacks licked. He held the house without frills. This is what Deschamps asked.
           


             
                Conclusion: -Varane Sakho, the combination of fire and ice.
           


             Defensive rating: 5; Note offensive: 7
           


             As at the beginning of his career, he played left winger Sunday. He gets along well with Benzema and it shows. Decisive passer on the sixth French goal, he continued to provide solutions, has launched Sissoko on the last goal of the Blues and helped to completely unbalance Jamaicans overwhelmed by events. Rare adverse incursions came from his side. The lack of decline Benzema and Valbuena has not helped. Tried heads wide (57).
           


             
                Conclusion: A dragster.
           


             Defensive rating: 6; Note offensive: 7
           


             It was he who opened the scoring with a sequence control-recovery. After a rough start to the game, he has quietly installed with openings small onions. This is especially throwing him on Benzema’s fourth goal of the Blues. Despite an excellent burst (47th), he still has to refine its placement on some counters where he was eliminated too quickly.
           


             
                Conclusion: Middle last week, he reassured Sunday.
           

    joy Yohan Cabaye, who scored against Jamaica – AFP

             Defensive rating: 5; Offensive rating: 6
           


             Do not ask him to do Pogba. But he showed great willingness in the same lane if it has not always made the right choices. It delivers a full Assist in cold blood in Griezmann on the last goal of the Blues. Sharp in his races, it is not always as inspired on his catch of the ball. But wherever he goes, the grass does not grow. What power!
           


             
                Conclusion: He confirmed his status as 12th man.
           


             Defensive rating: 7; Note offensive: 8
           


             What game! These three preparatory meetings drew a more offensive role Matuidi. Of course, it does not mark a match doubled in Brazil, but we feel much more comfortable in front of the goal. Demonstrated his shot first line on the second goal and light recovery in the sixth. It has been busy behind, notably with an excellent return on Seaton in the first period.
           


             
                Conclusion: If, in addition, he began to score …
           

    celebrating his second goal of the night in France – Jamaica – Panoramic

             Defensive rating: 5; Note offensive: 7
           


             He amused zigzagging between Jamaican stakes. Right, left, whatever, any offensive went through it and it hurts to Jamaica with his change of pace. His relationship with Giroud is still accurate and efficient. It was he who finds Gunner on the opener. If each of its set pieces found a teammate, he did not directly participate in the orgy offensive and missed the unmissable (74th) but nobody wants him. Not always applied to the defensive withdrawal. But was it really necessary this Sunday?
           


             
                Conclusion: This eccentric leadership role suits him perfectly. A delight.
           


             Defensive rating: 4; Note offensive: 9
           


             Benzema was hungry balloons and it showed. Weaned competition since the final of the Champions League, the Spaniard found his legs and groin did not seem to bother him. He hit on many sides, but its two sublime goals and assists for Matuidi and Giroud come from the left. An encouraging sign for Deschamps. As its relationship with Giroud, including second period. The two men lived together effectively. Yes, they can play together. Technically, it has evolved a notch above everyone and each of its intake ball just rang. Even if his laundry that leads to the final goal of the Blues, do not ask him instead of rigor in his defensive decline. A wait that has not harmed the Blues. Against Jamaica, it passes. Against Switzerland …
           


             
                Conclusion: France lost Ribery but regained its leading attack Sunday.
           


             Defensive rating: 6; Note offensive: 7
           


             Its profile is valuable to teams grouped and discount on the opening goal Cabaye is a perfect illustration. Sometimes inaccurate, it compensated by a real generosity in offensive and defensive tackle. Tenure Benzema has sometimes pushed to one side but Giroud can do and if he does not start a Loïc Rémy, he can hold the ball. Its purpose full of opportunism on center Benzema draw the beginnings of complicity. To be confirmed. Replaced by Griezmann that in less than half an hour is fed on the carcass still warm from Jamaica. Twice, with Madjer please, gives a little more thick yet its status as “Super Sub”.
           


             
                Conclusion: In three matches, Giroud went indispensable. Hat.

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4: Sold with Samsung Gear 3? – MeltyStyle

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is the next phablette the Korean manufacturer. Expected for the next school year, ahead of IFA in Berlin, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 may not be sold alone. According to several rumors, Samsung would have two smartwatches in September: The Samsung Gear Solo, a smartwatch capable of operating alone, as the Samsung Gear 3, improving existing smartwatch. The latter would be sold at an attractive price bundle (a bit like PS4/Xbox One) with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Intelligent strategy on the part of Samsung, as the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, which we almost know all the technical characteristics, highly anticipated, could help take off the sales of the Samsung Gear 3. It even seems to be the ideal companion for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the screen should (still) s enlarge …

    In addition to the presentation of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Samsung should have two smartwatches, according to the Korea Herlad, including a new Samsung Gear Solo. Running Tizen, the latter would be able to function without the help of smartphones and a SIM card slot is even expected. Samsung Gear, which dominate the market smartwatches are the first watches connected from the Korean manufacturer. Running a home OS, they still have a low commercial success, despite good ideas. Blame it on their dependence on a smartphone like the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 or Samsung Galaxy S5, and high-end prices. Samsung has launched a new version of these at CES in Las Vegas earlier this year, with a sporty bracelet, Samsung Gear Fit. It is hoped that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the next smartwatches manufacturer know the expected before the arrival of the Apple iWatch success, next October.

    And you, what do you torque Samsung Galaxy Note 4 / Samsung Gear 3?

    Memo: Madmoizelle launches its advertising management internally – madmoiZelle.com

    !

    (occasional music)

    Hello all

    Earlier this week, Madmoizelle experienced – look like much – a huge turning point in its history: Christelle has joined us to build our commercial offer

    In summary and to be clear. early as November 2014, we jumped into the water, launch our own ” advertising management “, which means we will sell advertisements that appear on Madmoizelle, and to the extent possible, based on your tastes (see below) ourselves.

    Christelle has also worked in our future former governed dedicated sofeminine for 7 years and is intimately familiar Madmoizelle long time. I “recovered” narrowly as she had left aufem.

    This is a real good bet and if successful, we will launch many projects, we have good course the ability to monetize more easily, and thus earn money, which will allow us to launch other projects etc.. (? See You virtuous circle point the tip of his nose)

    It means several things at our level – and therefore yours:

    We will try more than Never get involved, you, our readers and forum members in the creation of this commercial offer. We will therefore, through this topic, come and talk to you, your desires, your ideas pubs. History offer the pub you enjoy the most (for that matter …)

  • We will also create new “offers” and probably generalize Opes on the forum, as the has done in the past with sofeminine. Do not worry, we will not flood the advertising forum topics, it is not at all the idea. And when we make one, you will of course ensure that this operation brings you something. At the time, these Opes were highly appreciated, we will make sure to keep the momentum going and such.
  • This topic will also be present for you to come respond to the pub, we question on the subject. I will make sure to answer your questions, while trying to put our actions in the economic context of the box (as I’ve done in the past with videos “Fab meets madmoiZelles”)
  • We will also ask you a lot in the coming weeks, including through a major survey to find out what you love in life (this time tailor made for you.) This survey will help us
    1 / go see the marks that you have acclaimed by saying “Hey did you see? The madmoiZelles adore you! “
    2 / to provide additional data to our future business presentation (it will make a nice powerpoint Etou)
  • It will also launch – probably this weekend – a form for you propose to speak of Madmoizelle front of the camera (in the spirit of what we did for 5 years mad) story that makes a short film presentation mad to the attention of brands. And what better way to do it through our readers?
  • Well, to be completely transparent (because it is the policy of the house), this shift also means that it is a true “risk” for the box, especially financial. Rather a calculated risk and balance, of course (I do not intend to endanger this site that I cherish for 9 years, do not worry), but a risk nonetheless. But count on us to do everything for the top and succeed in reconciling “Sousous in the pocket” with “ethics and quality” as it tries to do every day since late 2005.
  • A huge thank you for your past support, and future, we will need it!

    In a statement released Monday, S & P, which had been placed under surveillance notes of the diverse group, announced that it lowered it to “BBB +” to “BBB”.

    “From our point of view, the greater resistance and more predictable prospects of the group in the construction does not fully compensate for the performance degradation and the strategic uncertainties of its telecom subsidiary,” says agency notation.

    Bouygues Telecom, which is number three in the mobile, is struggling since the arrival of Free (Iliad) in Mobile in January 2012 with offers at bargain prices.

    redemption announced Vivendi subsidiary SFR by the cable operator Numericable, which should give rise to a new number two behind French telecom Orange, powerful in the fixed and mobile segments, can pose an additional threat to Bouygues Telecom, said S & P. ??

    “The absence of a well established and profitable in the fixed position is a disadvantage for Bouygues, especially in a market where quadruple play offers are very popular and used by operators to retain their subscribers, “said the rating agency.

    The rise of open tenders, without mobile phone partner, should also continue to weigh on margins operator says S & P, which also concerned about the impact of response measures that the company will have to take to retain customers.

    “We believe this will result in a further decline in the Ebitda at the group level, degradation of debt indicators and a deterioration in the risk profile (…) despite the buffering provided by other divisions of the group, “said S & P. ??

    The agency predicts a 15% decline in EBITDA of Bouygues in 2014 before a sharp rebound in 2015. In 2016, the group, which also owns the TF1 channel, should return an EBITDA close to that of 2013 thanks to cost reductions in the telecoms and media. (Gwénaëlle Barzic, edited by Marc Angrand)
