Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 Unboxing & Demo #Helpful Post

we're less than two months into the year

and already Samsung has unleashed a

plethora of tablets upon us one of them

being the galaxy tabpro and specifically

I'm taking a look at the Tab pro 8.4

which is geared to give Apple's iPad

Mini a run for its money it's got a

quad-core processor

super high-resolution screen but also

features a controversial magazine UX

interface gonna kick back relax and

let's check out what comes inside the

box today's unboxing is brought to you

by LegalZoom hey guys john here with TLD

hope you guys are doing well now before

we can review this I got to spend some

time where they get to know it but in

the meantime I thought it would take you

through the unboxing and show you guys

what comes inside and also give you my

initial impressions after about an hour

of using it so Samsung it appears seems

to really stick with themes ever since

the galaxy s4 came out they really loved

that Fingal wood box that's obviously

still apparent here kind of matched my

desk pretty well but regardless code and

set it aside for the moment

now this features a Snapdragon 800 2.3

gigahertz quad-core processor and 8.4

inch 2560 by 1600 LCD display and is

also rocking Android 4.4 KitKat out of

the box so next up we'll go to begin the

under sto and I think ever since the Mac

Pro came out something about ripping

plastic off electronics became more

enjoyable for me so we've got one more

stickety sticker on the front and we

have the Galaxy Tab pro 8.4 now inside

the box it's kind of slim pickins it

really isn't a whole lot going on up

towards the top left-hand side you guys

have all seen this before it is a USB

wall charger it's white it's clean it

plugs into your wall and it'll charge

your tablet next up right there in the

middle is the wall chargers P I see we

got a microUSB to type a USB cable which

obviously you can use to either charge

your tablet or sync up with your

computer and lastly there is the

literature in the bottom right hand

corner now looks like you should

actually just rip this open but nope

Samsung told me you actually just slide

it off take on a closer look you can see

we have the Quick Start Guide which is

obviously gonna get you started quickly

following that is there a little stick

on galaxy rewards so they encourage you

to register your tablet that's gonna get

you eligible for discounts giveaways and

things like that we then have the

instructions on how to upgrade your

software so just in case you're new or

you're not sure how to do that

we'll give you a step-by-step

walkthrough on how to upgrade your

tablet and last but not least the health

and safety and warranty guide so you

don't injure yourself while using the

tablet but if you do at least you know

what is covered so taking a closer look

at the Tab pro 8.4 you can see Samsung

is still opted to go for that fake

leather design that they introduced with

the Galaxy Note 3 it's not premium by

any stretch of the imagination but I do

prefer it over the old plastic design

now that guy right there in the top left

hand corner is an 8 megapixel camera so

if you want to be that guy yes this guy

you have all the picture-taking tablet

powers in your hands now on the flip

side there is a 2 megapixel front facing

shooter so this is what you'd use for

Skype and things like video chat you

guys can see towards the bottom there

are two stereo speakers right there in

the middle is the USB port and this

thing is actually really light it's

point 7 pounds and that actually makes

it just a tad lighter than the iPad Mini

with Retina display so if you guys want

a full comparison of these two let me

know by hitting that like button now

this comes stock with 16 gigabytes of

internal storage but it is expandable an

additional 64 gigabytes via the micro SD

card slot now as far as impressions go I

spent about two hours for the last night

just kind of getting a feel for it as

you guys can see there is the familiar

swipe to unlock home screen that we've

come to expect on Galaxy devices now on

the inside this is Samsung's brand new

magazine UX interface which kind of

looks like TouchWiz met up with

Flipboard somehow Windows Metro got

invited to the party did some stuff I

can't really talk about and voila

here is magazine UX now on paper that

sounds like a disaster but actually

using it for a little while

it's not terrible it does kind of hinder

performance a little bit there's some

slight Samsung lag going on but nothing

too tragic the downside is it doesn't

look like there's any option to disable

the magazine UX interface in the

settings or anything like that

but I did test it out with Nova Launcher

and that actually does a fantastic job

of getting rid of that just in case you

absolutely hate it now jumping back out

of the app launcher on the homescreen in

the bottom left hand corner you can see

we have quick access to Google now which

kicks the pants off s voice and even

Siri for that matter here is how you

would access multitasking so you can

either close all or quickly access the

task manager right there now as far as

the pulldown toggles and notifications

menu you can easily use one finger to

get a quick look or two fingers to get a

detailed look

all your toggles taking a closer look

into the settings there are four main

tabs one beam connection so you can

control Wi-Fi Bluetooth things like that

the device section will cover sound the

display you can actually even customize

your notification panel from within this

menu so you can see it's literally a

drag-and-drop operation of subs of

something you do or don't want in a

notification panel you have the power to

control that next up after that is the

controls tab which will give you access

to control the voice control motion

gestures palm motion and even smart

screen and lastly the general section

will give you access to your accounts

it'll show you things about your device

so you can see this is running Android

4.4.2 kitkat out of the box which is

definitely a plus and lastly one of the

good things that TouchWiz does bring the

tablets is multitasking so here I open

up Chrome I'm gonna go in and open up

YouTube as the secondary app I'm gonna

go ahead and play the video and you can

see I can seamlessly run back and forth

between two applications at the same

time I can browse the web I can scroll

all while watching the video on the

bottom half of the screen so this is

actually one of my favorite features on

Galaxy devices so hopefully you guys
