Samsung tablets: more isn’t always better

Posted on June 9, 2014 by Taylor Martin

In the tablet space, Samsung is a quickly growing giant. Almost single-handed, Samsung has cut Apple’s tablet market share in half – from over 60 percent in 2012 to 30 percent in Q1 this year – while snapping up 23 percent of the global tablet share in Q1.We never had any doubt this would be the case, even with how half-baked the first two or three generations of its tablets were. Take the original Galaxy Tab, for example. It was a 7-inch knee-jerk reaction to the iPad. It ran Android, of course, ...

Samsung Galaxy TabPRO 8.4 review: a killer tablet for multimedia and productivity

Posted on March 14, 2014 by Taylor Martin

Samsung has been making tablets since the second half of 2010, trying to close the gap between its own market share and the current tablet market share leader, Apple. Currently, Apple holds a 36 percent share of the tablet market. The only manufacturer even remotely threatening Apple’s share is Samsung, which currently holds 19.1 percent, according to Gartner. At CES in January, Samsung dropped

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 vs Google Nexus 7 2013 (Video)

Posted on March 12, 2014 by Taylor Martin

Both of Google’s Nexus 7 have been renowned for being such great bargains. The current-gen Nexus 7, made by ASUS, retails for a staggeringly low $229, yet it features pretty impressive specifications and performance, all things considered. Samsung is no stranger to the small tablet category, but the real question is: can it’s latest miniature tablet compete with the likes of Google’s budget-friendly option? On a price scale, not quite. The

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 vs iPad mini with Retina display (Video)

Posted on March 11, 2014 by Taylor Martin

Apple, whether it admits the iPad is a tablet or not, is the tablet market share leader by a rather wide margin. Samsung currently holds about half the market share Apple does, and it’s slowly gaining ground. Its tablets continually get better with each generation, to boot. At CES in January, Samsung announced its latest tablet lineup, the Galaxy Tab Pro line. The Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 is a direct competitor to Apple’s latest miniature tablet, the

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 unboxing (Video)

Posted on March 8, 2014 by Taylor Martin

Samsung unveiled a slew of new tablets at CES back in January. Some of them were interesting, but the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 is what truly caught our eye – particularly its super sharp display. At 8.4 diagonal inches, the Super Clear LCD panel has a very impressive QWXGA resolution, or 2,560 by 1,600 pixels. That’s a density that rivals many smartphones, let alone competing tablets. And the rest under the hood sounds great, as ...

Sources closing in on Galaxy TabPRO, NotePRO retail availability

Posted on January 25, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

It’s been nearly three weeks now since Samsung went official at CES 2014 with its new Galaxy TabPRO and NotePRO tablets: 8.4, 10.1, and 12.2-inch TabPROs, and the one 12.2-inch NotePRO. After seeing our fair share of lackluster Galaxy Tab models in years past, the positively top-shelf specs on all four of these models were a breath of fresh air, and really allayed our fears about Samsung’s tablet strategy. At the time, Samsung revealed its ...

Samsung just seriously raised the tablet bar, and I love it

Posted on January 14, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

It’s been just over a week now since Samsung took the lid off its latest series of Android tablets, in the days leading up to CES 2014. While we had a general sense going in of the sort of specifics Samsung would reveal, what we ended up getting easily exceeded my expectations: no matter how you look at them, the three Galaxy TabPRO and one NotePRO tablets are all high-end devices. This was a huge weight off my shoulders, because I’ve been a pretty vocal critic of Samsung’s tablet strategy for a while now ...

Pocketnow Weekly 078: CES 2014 wrap-up – the best and worst from Vegas

Posted on January 11, 2014 by Michael Fisher

Horrible sickness. Missed flights. Broken promises from major airlines. Desert air-induced hacking. A too-late arrival followed by a too-early departure. That’s just a partial list of the challenges faced by the four-man three-man Pocketnow team at 2014′s International CES in Vegas, easily one of the most difficult trade shows we’ve ever done. But while the road was rough, the payoff was (mostly) worth it: in exchange for our hardships, we were among the first to spend time with some of the world’s newest and hottest mobile gadgetry, and we did the best we could to ...

Samsung Galaxy TabPRO 8.4, 10.1, 12.2: hands-on (Video)

Posted on January 7, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

So long, Galaxy Tab 3 models, with your middling specs and underwhelming user experiences! We hoped beyond hope that Samsung might give its tablet lineup the shot in the arm it needed in order to stay relevant in 2014, and wouldn’t you know it, that’s just what we saw the company do yesterday in Las Vegas. That meant both a new Galaxy Note as well as a few new Galaxy Tabs, this time trying on the stylized moniker TabPRO (yeah, we’re spelling it

Posted on January 6, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Several hours ago, we brought you what sure seemed to be a very official-looking leak, containing not just detailed technical data on a set of four new Android tablets from Samsung, but pics and all the associated trimmings. By all appearances, the cat was out of the bag. Well, now Samsung’s had time to make its official CES presentation, and in doing so, has confirmed its new Galaxy Note Pro and three Tab Pro models. Well, if we’re being precise (or drinking the branding Kool-Aid) these are the Galaxy NotePRO ...

Does Samsung have a new Nexus 10 ready for CES?

Posted on January 3, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

2013 brought us a new Nexus smartphone, and a new Nexus 7, but no new Nexus 10. For a while there we were bouncing around the possibility of seeing a new one, either another Samsung model or maybe even something from ASUS, but we rounded-out the year empty handed. Could that Nexus 10 refresh still be in our future? One rumor says “yes,” and suggests that its debut might be mere days away, with Google and Samsung showing the device off at the CES. This account is seriously short ...

Samsung’s got a bunch of new tablets coming up in the new year, and only just yesterday we were talking about how we might like to see them arrive. One of the models we’ve been hearing rumored would represent a new screen size for the Galaxy Tab lineup, the Tab Pro 8.4.
