lately we've seen a lot of tablets in the 8 inch range so obviously they have a larger screen than say 7-inch tablets but are a bit more portable than say v 10 inches out there the samsung galaxy tab pro 8.4 inch is the latest tablet to hit that tablet size sweet spot it has a 2560 by 1600 resolution screen a microSD expansion slot and IR blaster so you can use it as a remote control micro USB for charging and file transfers as well there's also the faux stitching from some recent Samsung products and at 0.7 pounds it's still pretty light it's all so thin and feels really comfortable in the hands and I for one like the kind of pleather e back side though it does attract a lot of grease there's an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash on the back and a 2 megapixel camera on the front like many Samsung cameras they're decent but neither takes especially impressive pics there's a two point three gigahertz Snapdragon 800 processor inside so gaming performance is as smooth as it gets on a tablet currently the screen is incredibly dense with pixels colors are vibrant and the viewing angles wide HD movies run smoothly and look great Samsung's TouchWiz interface has changed a lot over the last few years and has only gotten better with each iteration and this is the best version yet all the shortcuts and customization options are here the amount of settings available is staggering the Samsung keeps them all well organized the new magazine UX interface is best described as having a widget based front with Flipboard underneath in that it actually uses Flipboard for its interface in case you're not a fan of Flipboard you can customize the magazine UX to your liking and minimizes footprint if the traditional Android interface is preferable there's also a ton of productivity software from WebEx meeting to a built-in file manager to e meeting hand come office and remote PC the tap pro starts at four hundred dollars for 16 gigabytes and there's a five-hundred-dollar version with 32 gigabytes of storage check out my full review at cnet com for more information and a final recommendation i'm eric franklin and this has been a first look at the samsung galaxy tab pro 8.4
