samsung's latest tablets were made official at CES in January and now we have the Galaxy Tab pro 8.4 on hand it's time to get it out of the box I'm Taylor Martin this is PocketNow and this is our unboxing of the Galaxy Tab pro 8.4 so Samsung announced its latest additions to its tablet lineup at CES 2014 and of all the new tablets this one seems to be the most interesting the Galaxy Tab pro 8.4 and it's so interesting because it's exactly what we've been asking for all along a smaller higher in Android tablet nobody seems to have been able to bring this to us except for maybe a soos ever really and that's why this one is so interesting if you look at the back here this is the Wi-Fi model with 16 gigabytes inside it has an eight point four inch WQXGA display that is the same resolution we had on the Nexus 10 and it's impressive at 10.1 inches at 8.4 it's even more impressive that's 359 PPI it has a Snapdragon 800 inside with a 2.3 gigahertz quad-core Krait 400 CPU 8 megapixel camera 2 megapixel camera on the front 4800 milliamp hour battery and 2 gigabytes of RAM so the specifications on this thing are very impressive of course you can see on the box here it has an IR blaster as well but the one thing it's missing because it's a tab pro is the S Pen it has no s-pen so that's my only qualm with this tablet but let's get inside the box and see exactly what it's about what it's made of and what it has to offer as you can see the box opens up very easily this is this is the standard Samsung packaging you know the wood grain like box with soy ink it's printed in soy ink so here's the tablet we'll set that to the side really quickly as they take a look under this flap that I can't seem to get open and you have basically your standard stuff in the box a micro USB cable at wall adapter AC wall adapter and some reading material samsung galaxy tabpro Start Guide health and safety so there's that we'll put that back in the box and slide it to the side and take a look at this because this is what we really care about right this thing is very much like the note that we reviewed late last year the 10.1 edition our 2014 edition galaxy note in that it has the same faux leather on the back with the faux leather stitching and the one difference here is that the Tab pro line doesn't have the lines in the chrome around the edges but let's get this coast of Mike and pull on this I don't think it's gonna give us some noise nothing nothing too fancy there this one this one will so stick with me here you always complain that I react that paper off the plastic off too quickly so I did it very slow for you you're welcome so if we take a look around the hardware you see that you've got a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack on the top and on your right edge or your top edge if you're holding it in landscape you have a power button volume rocker and your IR blaster the bottom is for your dual speakers and your microUSB port and on this edge you have just a micro SD card port or card slot rather you still have your standard Samsung button layout but it's a little different that's very slightly modified this one has as we've seen on the galaxy s5 now the quick are the recent tasks button recent apps home and back so it doesn't have the Menu button anymore which is nice I guess ed adheres to Android guidelines now and if we take a look at the back here you see that this one is very much like your note series with the leathery or the faux leather and the faux stitching but of course since this one is white it is not the matte finish it's not the rubbery texture it's a hard plastic key texture so there is that it's not our favorite but it's not horrible so we also have the iPad Mini here for a size comparison as you can see it is quite a bit shorter than the Tab pro but it is a little bit wider as well so this one's very narrow and that's good because you can actually grip it really well I don't have long fingers and I can still wrap my hand around the backside of this thing and we also have the note 8.0 on the Galaxy Note 8.0 it is wider as well and also shorter so that just goes you just show goes to show how narrow these bezels are on the side that's a really thing I think for a tablet like this so before we jump off here we're gonna take a look at what the screen looks like because that is really the standout feature of this tablet of course you've got your new my magazine view but this display oh my gosh it looks great I haven't obviously this is the first time I've Howard it on I haven't had time to look at this too much but uh man it looks fantastic so we'll definitely be looking forward to getting into this thing and and taking a closer look at at the display seeing games and all kinds of other content on it so especially with the Snapdragon 800 so stay tuned to see more of this tablet as well as comparisons with other tablets and the full review on this sometime next week and in the following weeks and until then I'm
