Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 and 10.1 to ride with Tab 3 Lite in 2014

There's a whole slew of new tablet devices coming from Samsung inside the first quarter of 2014, likely appearing at CES 2014 here in the USA first and foremost. What we're going to see besides the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.1 is a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. We'll also see a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1, the both of them rolling with processors that are likely well above the pale - certainly more well-off than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 series, that is to say.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 and 8.4 will likely take on the appearance of the Samsung Galaxy Note family. This means they'll have faux-stitching along their backs and will have some friendly notching around the edges. The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 is said by SamMobile to be launching alongside the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 sometime in the sixth week of the year - just in the midst of the two biggest tech conventions of the year.

You'll also want to follow SlashGear to Mobile World Congress 2014 while you're at it - Samsung will be appearing in force. There we'll also likely hear of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite. This machine is tipped to launch inside the second week of 2014 and will be appearing with a 7-inch display and a "Cream White" color.

The Samsung Galaxy Pro 10.1 is said to launch in the 7th week of 2014, bringing the full collection up in black and white. It's suggested also that the Galaxy Tab Pro set will be appearing with base storage sizes of 16GB - tiny! The full line has not yet been photographed in the wild, but we'll likely find them all rather familiar.

Above you're seeing the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition and the Galaxy Note 8, both of which will lend their aesthetics to the 2014 generation of products. Stay tuned!

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Student Edition arrives on heels of Tab 3

Though the full Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 line has only just arrived, Samsung is pushing the Galaxy Tab 2 Student Edition, complete with keyboard and dock accessories to boot. This combo works with Samsung’s aim for this season’s collection of students from sea to sea, pushing this “Student Edition” to the United States through brick-and-mortar stores like Office Max and Best Buy.

This machine is being delivered with several firsts here in the USA – starting with a white casing. Though we’ve seen this color on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 in the USA before, here we’re seeing it on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 as only seen internationally in the past.

You’ll find this Student Edition working with the Samsung Desktop Dock and Bluetooth Keyboard both, both of them included in a package that’s ringing in at $349.99 USD. That’s a rather hearty bit of value when you consider the price of the tablet on its own – anywhere between $349.99 and $399.99 depending on where you shop. The dock and the keyboard then come essentially free where together they’d cost more than $60 USD – again, depending on where you shop.

Have a peek at our reviews of both the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 as well as the newer Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 to see the differences between the two. Spoiler: they’re very, very similar, and if you don’t plan on connecting one Samsung tablet to another, the Galaxy Tab 2′s speakers (front-facing as they are) trump the newer system. Displays notwithstanding, of course.
