Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 - The Review

With the tablet market reaching near-saturation, another slab that's just as thin, light and powerful as the rest of them will hardly bring crowds to the stores. Every maker is desperate to get some breathing space but few dare look for a space to call their own.

Quick to take a gamble, Samsung is trying a new size again but this time around it's not what you would call a vacant niche that the Koreans are to develop. The Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 has the scene set for its arrival by the LG G Pad 8.3 but it's actually two generations of iPad minis that the new Samsung slate is keener to meet.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 official pictures is there a bit of arrogance in that? Well, there may be but the new Pro lineup means business like never before. It isn't just a hardware upgrade hiding behind the same old Android/TouchWIz combo either. The Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 is vying to put Samsung's compact range of tablets back on the map - done playing second fiddle to the Notes.

Samsung has completely redesigned the TouchWiz user interface with a brand new homescreen and notification area, a new way of handling widgets, advanced multi-tasking with multi-view and floating apps. There's even a new business-grade office package. And although there is still Android KitKat below the magazine-like UI, the whole thing feels fresh and new.

Ainol releases Dual-Core Novo 7 Crystal Tablet

Ainol releases dual-core Novo 7 Crystal tablet with Jelly Bean Ainol made a big splash last year when it delivered the first tablet to come out with ICS, and, equally impressive, costing only $100. Google worked with the Chinese company to help them release such a cheap tablet that came with the latest version of Android so soon after release. Now Ainol is doing it again with, Novo 7 Crystal, a new dual-core tablet that is released with Jelly Bean out of the box and has a 7-inch IPS display at 1024×600 resolution. The new tablet costs just $139.

The other specs of the Ainol Novo 7 Crystal include a Cortex A9 CPU, a Mali 400 GPU, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage. The new Ainol tablet will be Wi-Fi-only, although there’s room for a 3G modem on board. It weighs only 328 grams, and measures 11.2 mm in thickness. It also comes with a microSD slot, and mini-HDMI and mini-USB ports. The tablet will launch on September 28. While Google has just released the Nexus 7, they clearly want as many Android tablets on the market as possible, especially if they happen to use the stock version of Android, like the Ainol Novo 7 Crystal does. Android tablets haven’t sold that well, and a lower price point might convince a lot of people, especially in Asian countries, to buy them over anything else out there. If they keep it up, Ainol could become a big tablet name in Asia, but also in Western countries. The Chinese company could sell its affordable slates to regular people who don’t need all the bells and whistles of a higher end tablet. As long as the Novo 7 Crystal provides a good experience, and allows them to check their e-mail, check Facebook, and browse the web, most people will be satisfied with it, even if lacks a well-known logo on the back.
