What I wouldn't give for Samsung to actually support their tablet lineup with software updates (OS variety) that update the GUI to match current devices - especially if the hardware specs are identical.
I absolutely detest the software situation on Android tablets and especially Samsung. There is no reason what so ever that the Note Pro tablets of this year could not have been updated swiftly to the Tab S Galaxy UX - instead they languish lost in a fixed period of time cocooned as other devices are released.
I really like my Note 12.2 pro but will never buy another Android tablet unless it's a nexus because of this 'limbo' your device enters regarding its software.
I doubt my note 12.2 will ever see a proper OS update with new GUI. Forever trapped at 4.4.2 with last years Galaxy UX rather than the jazzed up Tab S version - which hardware wise is near identical to the Note Pro (further exacerbating the situation as there is no technological reason Samsung haven't bothered updating it).
