Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 for Verizon hands-on

The [Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1](http://www.engadget.com/tag/GalaxyNote101/) is no stranger to us, as we've had the opportunity to [review](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/15/samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-review/) the global unit on two occasions. This is the first time, however, that we've seen the S Pen-toting tablet bearing the [Verizon](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/07/galaxy-note-10-1-verizon/) logo -- and an unusually large one, to boot. Hardware-wise, the Big Red branding and LTE support are essentially the only major differences; its dimensions and glossy (read: fingerprint magnet) titanium gray back are the same as what we've seen on models past, and it comes with the same 1.4GHz quad-core Exynos processor, 2GB RAM, 7,000mAh battery and three size options ranging from 16 to 64GB.

On the software front, on the other hand, there are a few differentiators worth taking a look at. The device comes with Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) pre-loaded and, aside from the usual benefits that come with such an upgrade, it also adds the cascading capability to the traditional Multi-Window view. While you're still able to access the same 'ol half-and-half view from before, you can now have more than two windows open, and it's also possible to adjust the size -- and even have them piled on top of each other, much like what you'd find on a classic desktop OS. We loved Multi-Window before, and adding this new capability makes it even more tempting. To see a few images of the device, take a quick peek below.
