[CES 2014] Samsung unveils the Galaxy NotePro 12.2 Galaxy TabPro in 12.2, 10.1 and 8.4 inch formats

Samsung hasn't been one to shy away from trying new form factors for existing product segments. We saw it with the introduction of the Galaxy Note smartphone line, and we are seeing something of a similar experiment in the tablet market.

While this isn't the first "jumbo" Android tablet released by a major OEM as we've seen others like the Toshiba Excite 13, this is probably the most serious attempt at introducing the form factor to the masses.

The NotePro and TabPro 12.2 will be available in WiFi, 3G and LTE variants with the first two being equipped with a Samsung Exynos 5 Octacore processor while the LTE variant will sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 Quad core processor. Both variants will also be sporting a 12.2-inch WQXGA (2560 X 1600) Super clear LCD, 3GB of RAM, 8MP Cameras, 32/64GB Internal Memory (Upgradeable by 64GB via microSD card), 9500mAh batteries and of course the NotePro will have S Pen Capabilities.

The TabPro 10.1 will also be available in WiFi, 3G and LTE variants and again the first two being equipped with a Samsung Exynos 5 Octacore processor while the LTE variant will sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 Quad core processor. It will also have a 10.1-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) Super clear LCD, 2GB of RAM, an 8MP Camera, 16/32 GB Internal Memory, microSD (Up to 64GB) and a 8220mAh battery.

The TabPro 8.4 well also be available in WiFi, 3G and LTE variants but in this case will sport a Snapdragon 800 2.3 GHz QuadCore on all three variants. Surprisingly the TabPro 8.4 will also be rocking the same resolution but more pixel dense (359 DPI) 8.4-inch WQXGA (2560x1600) Super clear LCD.  It will also have 2GB of RAM, an 8MP Camera, 16/32 GB Internal Memory, microSD (Up to 64GB) and a 4800mAh battery.

All four will ship with the latest version of Android 4.4 KitKat. No word on Canadian Availability, but as usual we would be shocked if none of these tablets made it to Canada.
