samplings 10-inch galaxy tabpro rocks a comfortable design and a ton of software features however performance issues when multitasking makes the tablet look more like an amateur than a pro I'm Xiomara blanco and this is a first look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab pro 10.1 the tablet is definitely comfortable to hold with the faux leather back providing a grippy surface and the left and right bezels providing just enough space to rest thumbs though it's been in light for a ten-inch er the thick top and bottom bezels and silver trim make the tablet look larger than it actually feels in your hands like the touchscreen the capacitive buttons respond quickly and they don't get in the way when holding the tablet the top edge houses the power button volume rocker and IR blaster and the top left and right edges housed the speaker's the slate only comes with 16 gigabytes of internal storage so the microSD card expansion slot on the right edge is a crucial feature the 2560 by 1600 pixel resolution display is razor sharp with saturated colors in stark contrast but watching video is hindered by the poor speaker quality audio is tinny and week making headphones the best option there's a rear 8 megapixel camera with flash and a 2 megapixel front facing shooter both have decent photo quality for a tablet but they suffer from graininess and low lighting conditions and soft focus Samsung does offer a bevy of camera features that should appease any artsy amateur tablet photographers the galaxy 10.1 probe performed swiftly with large apps opening within a couple of seconds however it's performance suffers under pressure if multiple apps are running or if using the multi window function to do too much at once it significantly lags bugginess is komal and performance slows down with apps unexpectedly shutting down or freezing these issues are easily resolved but with the title of pro I would expect more out of this Samsung Galaxy Tab when it comes to a comfortable handheld experience in a great screen the 10-inch Galaxy Tab pro delivers however its lofty $500 starting price doesn't correlate with this poor performance under pressure if it fits your budget it's a great premium tablet for casual users however there are more affordable 10-inch tablets with comparable specs available for a closer look check out my full review on cnet.com again i'm Xiomara blanco and this has been a first look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab pro 10.1
