Samsung unveiled its first stylus-totting tablet, the Galaxy Note 10.1, back in August 2012, and  just two weeks later the device went on sale for a rather hefty $549, and that’s where the price has stayed ever since. Up until now, that is. Popular U.S. independent retailer, Best Buy, is in the midst of holding a clearance sale, and you can currently grab the slate for $449.

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 2014 Edition Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is now available with a great discount over at Amazon. The tablet which broke cover last year during the IFA event in Berlin features an almost identical hardware as the Galaxy NotePRO 12.2, barring the size difference of course.

It’s been a long time coming, but we are finally starting to see signs suggesting that Samsung’s flagship tablet of 2014, the Galaxy Note 10.1, is heading to popular U.S. carrier, Verizon. A leaked press render has been posted on Twitter revealing a new version of the slate carrying the operators traditional branding.

Today, Verizon posted an official update page on its website for its forthcoming over-the-air upgrade for Samsung’s former flagship tablet of 2012, the Galaxy Note 10.1. Software version JZ054K.I925VRAMK1 is scheduled to bring two new greatly anticipated applications to the slate — Samsung WatchOn and S Educate — in addition to a multitude of stability updates and bug fixes.
