Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro vs. Note Pro 12.2 Comparison, Price, and Specs: S Pen Stylus and Other Features Reviewed
Samsung's two latest models for its handheld tablet device lineup are the Galaxy Tab Pro and the Galaxy Note Pro, though the two devices are almost identical in features and it is easy to mix them up.
However, one of the biggest differences is the S Pen. This feature is reserved only for the Galaxy Note series. The size is also one of the biggest differences. The Tab Pro comes in both 10.1- and 12.2-inch, while the Note Pro only has a 12.2-inch screen size. Some people believe that these two devices might even be enough to replace their larger laptop counterparts.
The older Galaxy Tab model is available with a 7-inch screen and Samsung also has a few tablets in the 8-inch screen size. Of the later models, the Galaxy Tab is the most portable, but the Note Pro is the most highly recommended when it comes to suitability as far as professional needs go. The Tab Pro is $599.99 and the Note Pro is $799.99.
In terms of screen display, the Galaxy Tab only has 170 ppi pixel density while Tab Pro has 359 ppi and Note Pro has 242 ppi. Both the Galaxy Pro and Note Pro are supported by the GPU Adreno 330. The camera specs for both large devices have 2MP for the front and 8MP for the rear. The front camera is already enough for a decent videoconference. Both devices also have an LED flash that works well especially for darker environments.
The S Pen Stylus of the Note Pro is its biggest advantage as it is handy when it comes to taking business notes. Since the device is large, it is perfect for handwriting and navigation by pinpointing. There are also other apps that work best when used with the S Pen. When it comes to performance, the Tab Pro uses the Qualcomm quad-core processor Snapdragon 800, running at a speed of 2.3 GHz. The tablet also runs on 2 GB of RAM.
The only down side is that the battery only has 10 hours of talk time. On the other hand, the Note Pro runs on a 1.9 GHz quad-core processor and an Exynos CPU. It also has 3GB of RAM which is higher. The best part about the Note Pro is that it runs on a 9500mAh unit battery with almost 51 hours of power on a 3G network.
