Samsung Galaxy TabPRO 12.2 vs TabPRO 10.1 vs TabPRO 8.4: specs comparison
Samsung's new Galaxy TabPRO line of tablets is a fact - along with the new NotePRO, the company from South Korea unveiled a trio of other slates that will aim to deliver a satisfying user experience, but one that is not necessarily tied to that whole handwriting thing.

The Galaxy TabPRO 12.2, 10.1 and 8.4 models will undoubtedly be trying to reach as wide an audience as possible, but of course, we should keep in mind that that these are designed to be high-performance, high-profit offerings, so we can't really see them taking market share away from some of the more affordable products in the space, such as the Nexus 7 2013 or the Kindle Fire HDX. Meanwhile, whether or not these TabPROs will be able to compete with Apple's iPads in the premium segment remains to be seen.

But, no matter what destiny awaits the TabPRO line, we're sure that users would want to know one thing - exactly what are the differences between these three tablets... "Will I be getting anything more besides the larger screen if I opt for the 12.2" model?", "Am I buying an inferior device by selecting the smallest TabPRO?" - questions of this type are sure to haunt people in their dreams just before the purchase of a new tablet, so here's what we're going to do - below you can find a detailed specs comparison between all three Samsung Galaxy TabPRO variants - the 12.2", the 10.1" and the 8.4". Take a look at their specs and see exactly how they stack up against each other! (Spoiler: Everything seems identical besides the RAM, internal memory and battery capacities.)
