My 12.2" tab pro has 9700mAh battery for pity's sake! This tab (?!?) is 18.4" across and ONLY have 5700mAh? Why? And who's gonna use it? Rather they should've make this one with voice recognition capabilities, so that people could use them with "dirty" hands. That's more like a TV, not a tab, come'n Samsung, get a grip! I mean, what were you thinking???

          If you wanna says it's a laughing stock, lets start with the very first Galaxy Note that Sammy had made years ago. Everyone manufacturers making a laughing stock of it.
          How about now?? Everyone copy it to make it bigger and bigger. Even the i product follow this trend and also start to use a stupid stylus called pencil.

                      The View looks nothing like Surface though.

                          It looks all right for ppl who need big screen adroid tablet

                            Put 1440x2560 on 18.4"

                            Put 1080p on 5.1"

                            What the heck are you all thinking? Do you know your 50" FullHD tv at home has less than 40ppi. 40" display FullHD tv have exactly 48ppi. For an 18.4" display 1080p with 123ppi is more than enough. Viewing distance should be considered. When you use a small 5" smartphone of course you will put it close to your face. You won't be doing the same for a large display with 18.4" screen. It need to be more than arm length diatance to view the whole screen. Tell me how far is the distance between you and your tv when you watch it in the living room? 1.5meters? 2meter the furthest. For a small 5 inches device you do need all the high resolution because we are putting our eyes so close to the screen and manufacturer need to find a way to avoid us from noticing the pixel. Thus, 2k or 4k for smartphone is reasonable.

                            By the way, for those complaining if this is any less useful than a cheaper laptop, this tablet runs using Media UX skin and not your average Touchwiz for phone. You won't be making phone call with this giant any sooner.

                              Finally, no more Touchwiz. I hope this new Media UX skin is good.

                                Wow, this is as dumb as dumb can get. 18.4" screen phone. Nope, I am outta here. Rather get a 17" laptop/ultrabook or Surface Book for my daily productivity needs. Samsung seems lost.
