Samsung unveiled its latest Windows 10 powered tablet, the Galaxy TabPro S at its CES dedicated event in Las Vegas.
From the outset, the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S looks like the South Korean manufacturer’s answer for Microsoft’s Surface Pro 4. We had a chance to play with the device and here are our thoughts about it.

Samsung Galaxy TabPro S is basically a convertible. The company is bundling a physical keyboard, which can be used to convert the slate into a full-fledged laptop. The convertibles have been the latest trend and almost all the tablets have started to offer this 2-in-1 feature and Samsung has chosen to add on to the pile.
The slate measures just about 6.3mm thick and this makes it the thinnest and the lightest Windows 10 convertible according to the company. The weight of the device is well distributed and feels very comfortable to hold in the hands. It will also slide in your travel bag quite easily.
Samsung Galaxy TabPro S sports a 12-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2,160 x 1,440 pixels. The display offers deeper, richer blacks and colors are very accurate. The capacitive buttons are integrated to the display and this will help reduce the power consumption according to the company.
The TabPro S is powered by the sixth generation Intel Core M processor. There’s 4GB of RAM and you get two on-board Solid State options in 128GB or 256GB models. Samsung has ditched the conventional microUSB port for a Type-C in its Galaxy TabPro S.
Samsung’s newest Windows tablet supports Bluetooth Stylus that will offer similar functionality as that of a Microsoft’s Surface Pen. The South Korean company is bundling a keyboard with the tablet and the experience it offered was quite surprising. The trackpad was very responsive and there’s absolutely no lag with the input.
The device packs a 5,200mAh battery and comes with fast charging technology. It should not take you more than 2.5 hours to completely refill the juice according to the firm’s claim.
Samsung’s Galaxy TabPro S is surely an interesting offering. There’s no word on the pricing yet, but we will know more about it when the device goes on sale in the month of February.
