Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab Active

This is, according to Samsung, their tablet offering specifically built for business. The Samsung Galaxy Tab Active a tablet that looks like more of an outdoor tablet rather than a business tablet. The design and how you actually perceive it delivers. The tablet has anti-shock covering, which explains all the metal and rubber frame and back cover. the tablet has a pen too but not the S Pen but a C Pen and it is made for the outdoors too (see photos after the break). 

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 NOOK

Samsung together with Barnes and Noble unveiled the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 NOOK. It's essentially an eReader with the unlimited features of Android in a tablet that is 7inches big. It probably has the same exact specs with that of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7 but unfortunately, I could be wrong since Samsung nor Barnes and Noble did not release the specsheet of the device. Anyway, for those who wants to check out this device head over to the device's product page in the Barnes and Noble website.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012) Android 4.4.2 KitKat update arrives in the Philippines

Samsung has finally rolled out the Android 4.4.2 update to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012). This is the tablet's first ever software update after it had 4.1 so it was a very long wait for those who owned one. Earlier today, I got a notification from my N8000 (with mobile connectivity) that an 800MB software update is ready for download. I was sure with that size of  download that it is gonna be the KitKat coming and it did not fail me. There are a lot of things going on with the new software once you have it installed. Aside from a new look and feel it will give your device, it gave the tablet the boost it did not have with 4.1. It feels faster and apps seems to launch faster with 4.4. Multi-window has now been changed from what we previously known from the Note 10.1 to the one that the Galaxy Note 3 has (check photos below). I am sure there are a lot more things with this update, I still need to discover them but for those who have the update already and are looking for the screenshot button? Samsung removed that. Taking a screenshot with the new software will require you either with the S Pen (the S Pen trick) or pressing and holding the Lock and Volume Down buttons. Check the update now and enjoy your even faster Note 10.1 (2012).

The Samsung Tab S 10.5 - Super AMOLED

Here is the bigger brother of the just announced Samsung Tab S. This is, apparently, the 10.5 inch Tab S announced earlier in New York together with the Tab S 8.4. Both sport Super AMOLED displays which is a first in the tablet category. Just like its little brother, the 10.5-incher sports the same hardware design aesthetics with the Galaxy S 5. That means the rear panel of the device sports dimples. Both tablets will be available too in July in selected markets and should be launched in more regions thereafter. Anyway, the specs.

The Samsung Tab S 8.4 - with Super AMOLED display

Earlier today, Samsung has announced their newest flagship tablet in New York. Dubbed as the Samsung Tab S it is the world's first HD Super AMOLED tablet. The Tab S is, apparently, aimed squarely on the iPad and I think they really got it right now. The Super AMOLED display is what the tablet world really needed for its huge display real estate the said display technology can only do great things for this device category. Super AMOLEDs have been rated the best in the smartphone world so I hope they do too in the tablet world. The tablet will be available in selective markets by July.

Android 4.4.2 KitKat arrives to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)

Samsung has started rolling out the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) tablet. The device launched and was sold with Android 4.3 Jellybean in tow. Today, with this update, the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) joins the Samsung family of devices that boasts Android 4.4 KitKat. For those who owns this particular tablet from Samsung, you might want to check for software updates. I think the update is available for the global variant of the tablet. I am not sure if the US has it already but it does not hurt to check. Cheers! 

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0

Lastly, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0, which basically follows the same design as the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 it is just 1-inch smaller. Anyway. this tablet will also be available by Q2 of 2014 and just like the rest of the Tab 4 line, they have the same specs only that they are sized differently for you to choose the best sized tablet.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4. 8.0

Next we have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0. It has everything the GTab 4 10.1 has but just in a smaller form factor. That is how lines work. Anyway, like the GTab 4 10.1, the Galaxy Tab 4 80 is also expected to be available by Q2 of 2014. No details about the pricing yet, as always.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1

Samsung has updated their Galaxy Tab line with the unveiling of the Galaxy Tab 4 tablets. First, we have the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 which goes to improve the design from what it tries to succeed, the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1. It also follows the boxier aesthetics of the Note 10.1 (2014). Anyway, the line is expected to become available in Q2 of 2014. As always, the Galaxy Tab line is always inferior to the Galaxy Note line of devices from the South Korean giant but it does not mean that these devices should be ignored in the market. The GTab 4 10.1 comes with LTE connectivity and all the other stuff you usually see in a tablet. For the specs, head over the break.

CES 2014: The Samsung Galaxy NotePro

Last but definitely not the least, the Samsung Galaxy NotePro. The biggest of the Galaxy Note line sporting the same screen size with that of the Galaxy TabPro (12.2). The NotePro sports a huge 12.2" WQXGA (2560x1600) display. It basically has all the features the TabPro (12.2) have but with the addition of the famous S Pen. Of course, whenever Samsung puts the S Pen into a Galaxy Note device that device automatically turns into something special. It does all the things the TabPro line can do plus more. The Galaxy NotePro will also be available globally in Q1 of 2014 and is available in different versions.

CES 2014: The Samsung Galaxy TabPro (12.2)

And here is the big daddy of the Galaxy TabPro line. Dubbed as the Samsung Galaxy TabPro (12.2), this is one of Samsung's largest Android tablet to date. It follows in terms of design the other Galaxy TabPros but only with a bigger screen and a display aspect ratio of 16:10. According to Samsung, this is the world's first 12.2-incher tablet with a WQXGA resolution with the said aspect ratio allowing for a new way to consume content and create them. It runs on Android 4.4 KitKat and a huge 9500 mAh battery. The TabPro (12.2) will be sold globally in Q1 of 2014.

CES 2014: The Samsung Galaxy TabPro (10.1)

Here is the second of the slew of tablets Samsung has unveiled at CES 2014. This is the Samsung Galaxy TabPro (10.1) the bigger brother of the TabPro (8.4). The way it looks, Samsung has followed what the Note III have, a leather-like rear panel is prominent on these devices. That is still not to mention that these devices looks a lot like the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014). Anyway, like the TabPro (8.4) this tablet will be available globally starting Q1 of 2014 and will be available with various connectivity from WiFi-only to WiFi + 4G LTE.

CES 2014: The Samsung Galaxy TabPro (8.4)

We all know it's CES 2014 what we don't know, until now, are the devices Samsung has announced in Las Vegas. They actually unveiled a slew of tablets bearing the "Pro" on their names probably Samsung is creating a whole new line of Galaxy Tabs. Anyway, first we have the 8.4-incher Samsung Galaxy TabPro. It's a tablet that runs on Android 4.4 KitKat and sports a 8.4" WQXGA resolution display. This device will come in also a slew of versions from a WiFi-only to WiFi + 4G LTE connectivity. Also, if you look at the photo above and below, it looks like Samsung has changed how their tablets will look like with their new Magazine UX overlay which follows the Galaxy Note III's My Magazine feature. According to Samsung, this new look will be carried out to all their tablets including the tablets that I will be posting about after this.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)

The next device that was announced during the Samsung Unpacked Episode 2 event in Berlin was the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition). The GN 10.1 2014 sports the same specifications as the GN 3 the only difference is that the GN 10.1 only has an 8MP rear shooter and some other sensors that the GN 3 has while this tablet does not. Everything else, are totally the same, from RAM to CPU they are the same. Of course, the GN 10.1 does not sport the same display as the GN 3, apparently, this is way bigger than the GN 3 and is only sorting a Super Clear display rather than a Super AMOLED display. Nonetheless, this tablet, is a stunner. It has a leather backing like the GN 3 and a screen resolution fit for a huge display. The tablet will be available in the 3rd quarter of this year with no exact date. But I'm pretty sure this tablet will sell, because by specs alone and the feature it offers, it is bound to be a seller.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 3G version reportedly starts getting the Android 4.2.2 JB update

After the 4G LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 has received its share of the Android 4.2.2 love from Samsung, the 3G version of the tablet has also started getting the said update. The report came from a Note 8.0 user who is in Germany so the update probably started there and eventually will end up to all the Note 8s around the world. For those who own a Note 8.0, you might want to manually check for an update it might be available for you already. 

Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy Note 8.0 and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 starts rolling out

Every Samsung device that did not run on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean from the box was suppose to get the update around July or August but you probably read rumors about Samsung skipping the said version of Android to the Galaxy Note II and the Galaxy S III. Those two devices are expected to skip 4.2 and directly get Android 4.3 and that probably would happen a month or so after the Note III has been announced (or maybe within September). Anyway, all the other Samsung devices, including those in the photo, the Galaxy Note 8.0 and the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 are reported to have started receiving the said update.

Samsung Premiere: The Samsung ATIV Q - Windows 8 and Android in one device

To sum up all of the Windows 8 devices that Samsung announced at the Samsung Premiere 2013 Galaxy and ATIV is the Samsung ATIV Q. It's a hybrid and runs on two OS-es either Windows 8 or Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. This is not new, remember when Asus announced their own device like this? But the Asus Windows-Android Hybrid was huge. Samsung's interpretation of this market (those who wants to get a device that can run on both OS-es and use both OS-es apps) is much smaller than that of Asus's. The ATIV Q sports a 13.3" touchscreen display with a resolution of 3200x1800 which gives us a 275ppi. Brilliant, for something that big? 

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1

Here is the bigger brother of the Galaxy Tab 3 8, the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1. Unlike the GT38, this tablet does not seem to be powered by the Intel Atom processor which is a shame, I believe. With both devices announced I think Samsung has done a pretty good job in terms of design but as always, the Galaxy Tab line of tablets from Sammy does not really shine that much. If you come to think about it, both the GT38 and GT310.1 have lower specs compared to the Galaxy Note 8.0 but anyhow the Galaxy Tab line of tablets is still a good tablet if you are in the market looking for one. It is still Samsung's main tablet line and will try to compete with other tablets out there.
