Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 review

The Galaxy Tab Pro middle child The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 feels like it contains a misnomer: sure, there are professional elements contained within, but this is a direct rival to the likes of the best consumer slates out there. The Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 and Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 may overshadow the competition thanks to their sheer stature, but the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 and Tab Pro 8.4 provide a strong backbone to the new "Pro" range. Buy Samsung Galaxy TabPRO 10.1 T520 16GB WiFi Tablet PCs at eGlobal Digital Store for £216.99 Samsung's Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 sits quite firmly against the more traditional tablet, aiming to take a hefty swipe at the dominance of the iPad Air , the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet and Microsoft's own Surface 2 . Even Samsung's own Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 can't be ignored given a similar spec list and the extra S Pen. And here's some even better news: Samsung seems to have quickly realised its own mistak...

Google Nexus 10 review

A great value full size tablet with only a few minor shortcomings "The Nexus 10 may be getting on a bit, but if you want a full size tablet that doesn't cost the earth you'll get a full HD display and powerful processor - there's no expandable storage or SIM option though." For Powerful processor High-res screen Android 4.4 Against No 3G/4G option No expandable storage Muted colours for media Page 1 of 11 Introduction Ratings in depth The Google Nexus 10 was an entirely expected model that rocked up on the shelves in late 2012, taking on the iPad in the 10-inch segment and joining the Google Nexus 7 on the virtual Play Store shelves. With a stunning screen, fun rubber body and a lower price, is this the tablet you should be craving?

Huawei Ascend P7 vs HTC One M8 vs Samsung Galaxy S5 vs Sony Xperia Z2

Which flagship is for you? Huawei has joined the 2014 flagship show with the launch of the Ascend P7 at a special event in Paris. The Chinese firm is still trying to grow its presence in a market which is dominated by the likes of Samsung and Apple, plus with HTC and Sony also launching high-end devices this year Huawei has its work cut out to keep up. We've brought together the Ascend P7, One M8 , Xperia Z2 and Galaxy S5 to see how they all shape up. Which one takes your fancy? Design The phone that really stands out in terms of design is the HTC One M8. Its impressive metal unibody, rounded corners and curved back make it a joy to hold and it oozes premium quality. That said the Sony Xperia Z2 isn't far behind with a sturdy, industrial design which may well appeal to some more than the M8 - although the sharper corners and flat rear mean it doesn't sit as nicely in the hand. The One M8 oozes premium quality On to the Huawei Ascend P7 and you...

HTC Unveils the 5-Inch One (M8), Sports All-Metal Chassis and Two Rear Cameras

The HTC One (M8) is available in two colors: gunmetal grey and glacier silver. HTC today introduced its latest Android flagship smartphone, the One (M8) which will take on the recently announced Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2 . While the "M8" moniker used to be its codename, it seems HTC wants to continue the "One" branding and just tagged on the codename the differentiate it from the existing HTC One. The One (M8) sports a slightly larger display at 5-inch , which is an increase of 0.3-inch from its predecessor. The display resolution remains at Full-HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) though.  In terms of design and build quality, HTC outdone itself again by using an all-metal (aluminum alloy, 90%) bod y for the One (M8). The Gunmetal Grey model will have a different brushed finish compared to its Glacier Silver counterpart. There is also an Amber Gold model, but we were told it would not be available in Singapore at launch. The Oppo N1 may have...

Battle of the best - Nokia Lumia 1020 and 808 PureView take on the Galaxy K Zoom

What happens when you set out to create an ultimate camera phone, when a hump is not a dealbreaker, when Xenon flash is a must and when no compromises are involved? From 2012, 2013 and 2014 come the two Nokia PureView camera phone flagships, plus - hot off the production line - the new Samsung Galaxy K Zoom. The latter, unlike the monstrous S4 Zoom from 2013, is streamlined and eerily similar in form factor and scope to the Nokia couple. But which will win out? If you thought the Nokia Lumia 1020 had a camera hump, if you thought the 808 PureView had a bigger bulge, then both are somewhat overshadowed by the form of the Galaxy K Zoom. Not that it's as 'monstrous' as last year's S4 Zoom, which really was a standalone camera glued to a low end smartphone - here, the K Zoom slims things down a lot, with curves and integration of the camera into the form factor that reminds me very much of the 808 PureView. Most importantly, the overall thickness i...
