this coverage of CES is brought to you by Toyota while this comparison might be somewhat skewed in terms of the size differences we can definitely still see how Samsung is trying to eclipse the top performers in the mid-range tablet game hey this is Joshua regard from Andhra Authority what's going on everybody and this is the Samsung Galaxy Tab pro 8.4 versus the Nexus 7 let's get the obvious part out of the way in regards to the sizes yes the Tab pro is the larger device and thus does benefit from a little more real estate for work in play while we did get an update to the Nexus 7 from a soos that gave it more resolution at 1920 by 1200 the proline by Samsung brings a whopping 2560 by 1600 resolution to every iteration even this the smallest of the Tab pro line and in terms of material the textured plastic that has given Samsung devices new life in the eyes of those who got tired of glossy plastic adorns the tab pro while soft touch minimalistic plastic makes the Nexus 7 quite the stylish device in its own right underneath the surface the differences continue as the Nexus 7 sports the Snapdragon s4 pro that might be a little dated but still holds up very well tab users who may have wished for more high-end specifications in their tablets can now move to the pro line for the Snapdragon 800 or the ik c nose 5 octa processing package for some great power 3 gigabytes of ram in the tab pro Trump's the Nexus 7 as well but it all goes to good use as this updated version of TouchWiz keeps itself very busy in software we obviously have a big difference in user interfaces while the Nexus 7 boasts the stock Android experience that plenty of Android purists Pine over it is definitely pretty minimalistic and doesn't provide for much more functionality outside of the bare essentials however those bare essentials are valuable in and of themselves to be fair TouchWiz finally got an update and a refresh as the magazine UI as it is called now we will see in the proline allows users to create highly customizable pages with widgets spaced out on a grid making for a magazine like interface that actually looks pretty clean and is definitely functional on top of all of this you can't expect many of samsung's additions to be built in as well such as the multi window for the spec hungry it is clear that samsung's new pro offerings will really fit the bill because of their power great display quality and the many features that are built into the software however there is the matter of price now while we don't really have any real final word regarding the price point of the Tab pro 8.4 it is likely going to be quite a premium over the affordable two hundred and twenty nine dollar Nexus 7 now in that case you might look at this as a you get what you pay for a situation and in the future we are going to take a much harder look into these two devices in a more full comparison but in the end it does come down to what you really need and what is clear here is that Samsung in the new tab proline certainly wants to try giving you everything they think you want once again this is Josh regard from Android Authority telling you to keep it tuned here for all of the best coverage here at CES 2014 and once again thank you to Toyota for sponsoring our CES coverage
