Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 to hit U.S. shelves March 9 for $650

By Jeffrey Van Camp Published April 24, 2014

Check out our review of the Samsung Galaxy NotePro 12.2 tablet.

Samsung introduced its extensive new Galaxy Tab Pro and Galaxy Note Pro line of tablets at CES this year, and although the biggest of the series has a UK price, we hadn’t heard anything about price in the United States, or even a launch date. Today Samsung revealed U.S. pricing, but you’re going to have to dig deep if you want one of the top-end models.

Updated on 3-05-2014 by Jeffrey Van Camp: Samsung has sent us official details about the Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 release in the United States and it looks like the $650 32GB model will hit major retailer shelves on March 9, 2014. Retailers include Samsung.com, Best Buy, Walmart, Amazon, Tiger Direct, PC Richard and Sons, Fry’s, and Newegg. Samsung claims that the tablet comes with “over $800” of bundled content through Galaxy Perks.

The Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 is the headline-grabber. The massive screen has a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution, and the processor inside the tablet is a familiar Snapdragon 800 accompanied by 3GB of RAM. Android 4.4 KitKat is the OS of choice, but it’s covered with Samsung’s controversial Magazine UX, so you’ll hardly notice.

Pick up the 64GB Note Pro 12.2, and you’ll need to hand over $850 in return, or $750 for the 32GB version. If you don’t want the S Pen stylus, the Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 is $650 for a 32GB model.

If such a monstrous screen size doesn’t appeal, then the Galaxy Tab Pro line also comes in 10.1-inches and 8.4-inches. The specs are almost identical aside from the RAM dropping down to 2GB, and the batteries getting steadily smaller. The 16GB Tab Pro 10.1 has been given a $500 price tag, and the 8.4-inch Tab Pro will cost $400.

All of these tablets except the Tab Pro 12.2 will be available to buy from February 13 through various outlets including Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. If you’re really keen, pre-orders for these tablets will open on February 4. If the TabPro 12.2 is the tablet for you, then you’ll need to wait until March for it to go on sale. Verizon will also offer a 4G LTE version of the Note Pro 12.2 around the same time, but no price has been provided.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE leak bares it all, and it’s bad news

Leaked image of Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE showing its front and back.

A pair of new Samsung tablets are right around the corner. Over the past couple of weeks, alleged renders of the upcoming Galaxy Tab S10 FE and its Plus variant have given us a glimpse of its design language. Now, a trusted outlet shared more purported marketing assets, alongside the internal hardware details and pricing information.
The leaked assets come courtesy of WinFuture, showing both the tablets in three color options from all sides. The design language is your typical Samsung affair with a metallic shell and flat sides, covered in a silver, blue, or dark grey coat of paint.

Let’s hope Samsung has other plans with pricing

We just got our first look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+

Official product render of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE Plus.

Earlier this morning, the first images of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ leaked onto the web — and these aren't just run-of-the-mill renders, either. You can see the upcoming tablet in full 360-degree video alongside crystal-clear 5K renders, courtesy of @OnLeaks.

The news of the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ isn't new; we already knew the tablet was on its way, and it could possibly rival the iPad Pro in size. Expected to come in at a whopping 13.1-inches, the Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ will have plenty of real estate for all the applications you could imagine. What makes it stand out, though, is that it's a mid-range tablet offering nearly flagship sizes.

I tested the Galaxy S25 Plus and iPhone 16 Pro cameras, this one wins

Samsung Galaxy S25 and iPhone 16 Pro

Smartphones have been getting bigger for years, but as they’ve done so, a new realm of smaller phones has launched to cater to those who want something more pocket-friendly. By small, I don’t mean Mini — although I’d love Mini phones to make a comeback — but rather, more friendly when using them with one hand.

Both Samsung and Apple have helped pioneer this trend, by ensuring there’s a smartphone that’s the perfect size for any needs. Yet, they’ve taken different approaches to doing so, as part of differing strategies on what the ideal smartphone lineup should look like.
