Samsung launches two new tablet devices


MANILA, Philippines — South Korean electronics giant Samsung has launched two new tablets in the local market under the Galaxy PRO Series line.

Both products, according to Samsung, intend “to marry the productivity of a PC and the ease of a tablet.” The two new tablets are the 12.2-inch Galaxy Note PRO and the 8.4-inch Tab PRO.

Coco Domingo, Samsung Philippines head for product marketing in IT and mobile, said the new devices will be primarily marketed toward businessmen.

“The primary target market are really more of entrepreneurs who need to be mobile such as those who have several stores that they need to manage and they really need to go around and really use the product for bookkeeping or being able to make simple presentations for their clients,” Domingo said in an interview.

The Android-powered products both have WQXGA display of 2560×1600 resolution, similar to the 2014 Galaxy Note 10.1 model. Both also have an 8-megapixel rear-facing and 2-megapixel front facing camera.

The Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 has a 1.9 GHz octa-core processor, 3GB of memory and 32GB of storage expandable up to 64GB with MicroSD card slot. It will sell for P36,990.

The Galaxy Note 8.4, on the other hand, has a 2.3 GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of memory and 16GB of storage with microSD card support of up to 64 GB. It will sell for P18,990.

Installed in both devices is the newly launched Hancom Office suite, which offers applications for creating and editing office documents.

Domingo said that their telco partners are now looking at offering the devices to their corporate clients.
