There’s a certain minimum threshold that a product should be required to meet before it can rightfully wear the “pro” label. It should offer high-end specifications and enhanced capabilities over its more mundane, “non-pro” counterparts. Ideally, it should appeal to the consumer looking for a more versatile, more capable product. Above all, it should offer a top-notch customer experience.
With the Galaxy TabPRO 10.1, Samsung gets some of that right. This Galaxy Tab is far and away the most powerful yet produced, with capabilities never before offered on the company’s midrange tablet line. On the spec sheet alone, it blows away its immediate predecessor, the 10-inch version of the Galaxy Tab 3 we reviewed back in July. And it improves on that model’s industrial design as well, porting the high-end aesthetic elements of the Note line to the Tab family.
Yet the new Tab stumbles in the most important area of all: user experience. Because while its hardware may be impressive, its software is … less so. It’s not enough to render the TabPRO 10.1 un-buyable –there’s a lot to like here– but it’s certainly enough to warrant a more thorough vetting process than usual if you’re thinking of taking this tablet home.
Fortunately, we’re here to do some of that work for you. Join us after the jump for our Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 review!
