Just after announcing the new Galaxy NotePRO and the TabPRO with 12.2 inch screens, Samsung also unveiled other form factors in the same range, but with the same super high screen resolution of 2560×1600 in the Galaxy TabPRO 10.1 and TabPRO 8.4. With different target audiences in mind, these form factors build upon the success of the previous 8 inch and 10 inch tablets from the company. Just like the 12.2 inch tablets, they too sport the Super clear LCD display with a ridiculously high WQXGA resolution and similar internals with Exynos 5 Octa or Snapdragon 800 Processors. They also have the same leather-like backs and the hardware home buttons on the front, bringing all of them in line with the design language of the Galaxy Smartphones.
Here are the complete specifications of both the devices –
Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4-inch specifications
- 7.2 mm thick, 331g weight
- 8.4-inch (2560×1600 pixels) WQXGA display

Galaxy Tab PRO 10.1-inch specifications

- 10.1-inch (2560×1600 pixels) WQXGA display

Both of them come in WiFi and LTE versions, with different capacities in batteries according to the screen size. Otherwise, all the newly launched NotePRO and TabPRO devices have almost the same specifications, with regards to the camera units, their design language among other things. Unlike the 12.2 inch ones though, these come with 2 GB of RAM but have all the TouchWiz features like the new Magazine UX, multi Windows and more, all part of the Android 4.4 variant of Samsung’s software.
