Verizon Wireless has just listed the 2014 Edition Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 on its website with a relatively steep price tag. This tablet was launched back last year during the IFA event along with the Galaxy Note 3. The variant launched by the carrier comes with the 2.3 GHz quad core Snapdragon 800 SoC as it supports LTE.

The carrier is charging a whopping $599.99 for the tablet with a two year contract or $699.99 without one, which is quite a lot. The variant being sold here comes with 32GB of onboard storage as well, with an 8 megapixel camera on the back, 3GB of RAM and a 10.1 inch 2560 x 1600 resolution display. Although it runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean out of the box, an update to KitKat is imminent.

There’s no word on whether the tablet will make its way to other carriers, but at the moment it seems exclusive to Verizon. The Galaxy Note 10.1 available through Amazon and other online retailers packs the Exynos 5420 octa-core chipset which does not support LTE. So if you want an LTE capable tablet with powerful hardware on board, this is probably your best bet. You might also want to look towards the Galaxy NotePRO 12.2, which costs slightly more but features pretty much the same hardware, with the only difference being the size.
