we spent some time with it at CES 2014 in Las Vegas now let's see what the Samsung Galaxy Tab pro 10.1 is all about i'm michael fisher with pocket now let's unbox it and as I mentioned Lydon folks at the Samsung Galaxy Tab pro 10.1 the Wi-Fi only version with 16 gigs of storage because Wi-Fi only we're not seeing a Snapdragon 800 processor in there when in fact seeing a Samsung's calling at one point nine gears quad-core and at one point three gigahertz quad-core processor it's the big little it's the Exynos 5 octa if you want to call it that with a 10.1 inch screen around front which we're gonna take a look at in a second other features as expected two gigs of ram 8 megapixel camera and so on so let's go ahead and get the device out of the box here we're not expecting too many surprises in terms of look and feel but it will be very nice to get this device side-by-side with some other samsung note devices and some other tablets see how it stacks up size-wise pull the Box aside there well get rid of it down there and it seems a good place for owning a Galaxy has its rewards yes Samsung is positioning a lot of Galaxy a lot of app bonuses a lot of software tie-ins as the kind of galaxy premier experience a giving away I believe they said they're giving me like $500 in free software we'll get into that a little bit in the full review but there's the call-outs for the specs once again go ahead and put the tablet itself aside which feels quite nice actually in terms of weight I think we're looking at 469 grams there but we'll get into that in a second here's some of the welcome material for the Galaxy Tab pro to tell you what you've bought the wall charger the cord nothing terribly new there let's get these out of the way and just as long as we're stopped why don't we take off these screen protectors now we're ready to get to business okay so I've brought the exposure down just a bit so you can see this texture on the back of this device of course the comparison device from the note family I have is a black note 3 sorry about that that's gonna give us all kinds of new problems but you can barely see it there if I just find a middle ground and exposure there you can see that this is exactly the same except of course it's a black version and a white version and in addition to color differences there are texture differences here the soft almost well not quite as fake leather feel on the note 3 is sacrificed on the white version of this this is just like the white notes the note 10.1 yeah the Tab pro 10.1 is just like the note 3 in the white version which means that it is it feels very plastic and you can hear that it's not it doesn't feel quite as good as I'm sure the black one does and back out at a reasonable distance here we can see the size comparison between this landscape tablet in this portrait phablet otherwise we'll get the note 3 out of here and before we turn the device around well note the 10th 8 megapixel camera on the back and the 80 to 20 milliamp hour battery underneath it which Samsung says should be good for 10 hours of video watching or web browsing 10 inch 2560 by 1600 super LCD it is not the AMOLED that we that we've come to expect from samsung devices but we will have to see we've read reports and we recall from our time in Vegas that this is a pretty vibrant panel as I recall home button down below multitasking button not a menu button the back key is still on the right hand side might trip you up a little bit if you're coming from a non Samsung device they are the only manufacturer I can think of the only major manufacturer that keeps the back button on the right hand side and to the left 2 megapixel webcam up top we have a swipe screen to unlock that sounds fine we'll take another gander at the at the top row here hopefully yeah we got a little focus there that is our IR port there a lot of Samsung protectors on the sides I'm not going to peel every one of these off that'll take hours I'll do it later and volume rocker here power standby on the Left which we pressed earlier taking you around to the side there is right hand-side speaker port as well as microSD expansion to give you more storage than the onboard 16 gigs no special Samsung dock connector on the bottom we are well beyond that era thankfully microUSB to charge this device and we're bringing around front if you want to see what it looks like alongside a another modern tablet or a depending on your definition of modern this is the first generation Nexus 7 here's how that stacks up in a silhouette tests get you a little bit more a little bit more room there there we go and continuing the trend of just slightly outdated technology this is Apple's third generation iPad almost completely obscuring the tablets a different aspect ratio but a much bigger device just to tell you what it feels like in the hand you know I mean this is not this is not bad I just hit the home button and it took a sweet second power on let's go ahead and get in there all right sweet there's the home screen Android 4.4.2 we are running KitKat that is wonderful but if you don't want to spend time in this kind of classic interface which we're used to seeing Samsung's magazine UX is here it's anybody's guess as to how long it will last given Samsung's new arrangement with Google or how much will change but we're looking forward to trying it out I mean this is gonna be fun it's been a while since we've had a new tablet UX to play with for an extended period so this is going to be a lot of fun and this display looking pretty good right off the bat I'll tell you that device for the positives about the device in the hand very very light very very thin at 7.7 millimeters as I mentioned before downsides does feel a little bit plasticky but of course our expectations were already set for that when we were unboxing a Samsung tablet that's it for the quick unboxing folks tune in to the outro for instructions on how to get
