Large and in charge, Samsung has finally committed to a date and price for its latest mammoth-sized tablets thank to a full-on brick-and-mortar retail assault kicking off this weekend.
Samsung has announced an official release date and pricing for the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, starting at $649.99 for a Wi-Fi only model with 32GB of onboard storage.
Loaded with perks
Samsung is positioning the Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 as a less expensive alternative to the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, which costs $100 more but includes the manufacturer's coveted S Pen stylus.
The Tab features a 2560 x 1600 pixel display running Android 4.4 KitKat alongside Sammy's own somewhat controversial Magazine UX, all powered by a octa-core Exynos 5 processor with a gargantuan 9500mAh battery.
Like other members of the Galaxy Tab Pro family, Samsung's latest is bundled with $800 worth of perks, which include a $25 Google Play store credit, 3-month trials for Hulu Plus, SiriusXM and Audible and 50GB of Dropbox cloud storage.
Samsung has had mixed luck beating back rivals such as Apple's iPad Air, so it will be interesting to see if this newfound interest in 12.2-inch slates actually belts out a sizable enough roar on the market to be heard.
