Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8 4 WiFi (2GB + 16GB)

  • High-resolution 2560x1600 Super Clear LCD display with 359 ppi for sharp text and images
  • Compact, thin (7.2mm), and lightweight design that is comfortable for one-handed use
  • Powerful quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor provides zippy performance for gaming and multitasking
  • Useful software additions like Multi Window for side-by-side multitasking
  • MicroSD card slot provides expandable storage for media and files

What customers don't like about Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8 4 WiFi (2GB + 16GB)

  • Battery life is relatively short, often requiring daily charging under heavy use
  • High initial retail price compared to competitors like the Nexus 7
  • Speaker placement on the bottom edge is easily muffled when held in landscape mode
  • Occasional software lag or stuttering within the TouchWiz/Magazine UX interface
  • Faux-leather plastic build materials feel less premium than aluminum alternatives
  • Capacitive buttons can be easily triggered by accident in landscape orientation

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 WiFi is a compact, high-performance tablet featuring a stunning 8.4-inch Super Clear LCD with a 2560 x 1600 resolution (359 ppi). It is powered by a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, expandable via a microSD slot. Weighing just 331g and measuring 7.2mm thin, its main characteristics include an 8MP rear camera with LED flash, a 2.1MP front camera, and an integrated IR blaster. Primary pros are its exceptionally sharp display, slim and lightweight build, and strong multitasking capabilities supported by the Magazine UX. However, notable cons include subpar battery life compared to competitors, the potential for accidental triggers of the edge-placed capacitive buttons, and speakers that are easily muffled when held in landscape orientation.
