Bargain Samsung tablet

[Harrison]

I've been getting a bit fed up with my Google Nexus 7 as it keeps refusing to power on, and takes loads of messing around to bring it back to life. Great when it's working, but not when it refuses to power on. So I thought I would see what bargains were around at the moment, and I was especially interested in a 10" as I've recently moved my magazine subscriptions to digital.

And I discovered this:

Samsung Galaxy TabPro 10.1 16GB for just £229.99

I was really interested in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5" model, but those are £400, and when I compared specs the TabPro 10.1 is nearly identical in all but the ram. They both have the same high resolution 2560x1440 screen (the S does have a newer higher contrast screen but the TabPro still looks great), same 16GB storage plus SD card slot, 8MP camera + front webcam, Android 4.4.. The only hardware difference other than the screen contrast is the S has 3GB ram and the TabPro has 2GB. You really won't notice the difference considering my Nexus 7 with 1GB runs everything fine.

So I've now ordered a TabPro and think this is a real bargain I needed to share. The same model everywhere else is still £400 so similar price to the S, it is just Currys and PC World offering this low price. Well worth it.

I have seen somewhere Samsung selling £89 at Asda and also Galaxy Note 10.1 for £189

The sub £100 tabs are the old Tab 3 ones which are 7" and low 1200x800 resolution screens, and dual core 1.2GHz processors. They have those cheap in Currys too. And the cheaper Note is again the older original model, which is equivalent to the Tab 3 10", so they are basically old stock.

The difference with this TabPro is the spec is near to identical to the new Tab S and everywhere else it is still selling for twice the price, so it seems a real bargain at the moment.

Thats a stunning price for a great tablet! If only they did the 8" version cheaper! I want to replace my Nexus 7 2013, Ive been thinking of the Hudl2 as a guy at work has it and thinks its ace, reviews seem to agree too.
