Samsung tried to give the Tab Pro 10.1 a premium look by
including a metal trim between the front panel and the back, and replaced the
cheap-looking glossy rear with a faux-leather material that we first saw on the
Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition. It is still plastic though,
but it does makes the tablet look slightly more professional and less
susceptible to fingerprints and smudges.

Samsung's engineering team seems hell-bent on beating Apple
on any front possible with the Tab Pro 10.1. The tablet is 1mm thinner (7.3mm)
and 1g lighter (477g) than the Air. Honestly, these figures look good on paper,
but do not in any way make the Samsung slate better in handling.
The Tab Pro 10.1 joins the league of Android tablets (ASUS
Transformer Pad TF701T and Google Nexus 10) with an ultra-high resolution (2560
x 1600 pixels) display. As expected, the display is crisp and bright with vivid
colors. However, a side-by-side comparison with Apple Air and Microsoft Surface
2 revealed that the display on the Tab Pro 10.1 has a slightly yellowish white
tone when viewing HardwareZone's new portal and Google's homepage.

The LTE model runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core
2.3GHz processor and 2GB of RAM. During our time with the device, interface
navigation was a breeze, though you will begin to notice micro lags when
jumping between tabs.
With its new generation products, Samsung introduced a new
interface called Content Home that is built on top of Android 4.4 KitKat.
Powered by Fllpboard, it is a dashboard that aggregates your apps, news, and
social feeds. You can have up to five "magazine" pages with up to six
widgets, and offers a refreshing take on the typical app-based home screen.

10.1 comes with a micro-USB 2.0 port instead of the newer and faster USB 3.0.
Samsung also bundles a suite of productivity apps with the
Tab Pro 10.1. Users are entitled to a free subscription of Hancom Office, an
office program for users to create, edit and share documents. Due to its
Office-like interface and experience, Hancom for Android is suitable for all
types of productivity users from mere beginners to full-blown power users.
The Tab Pro 10.1 is available in either 16GB or 32GB storage
capacities, and comes with a microSD slot to expand storage capacity by up to
64GB.
