Ads are informative but are annoying to listen to.

 

[foghorn67]

Those are funny.

 

[badb0y]

Lol, the iPad one is better.

 

[luv2liv]

that was actually pretty good with the tablet!
the phone ad was ok. guess im not into basketball.

 

[s44]

"It's been used to cheat at golf."

LOL

 

[vshah]

lol, "and i'm gonna take this pencil"

I just looked at the tablet commercial. Two odd things jumped out at me...

First why does the Galaxy Tab appear to have the same height and width as the iPad? It makes the Galaxy Tab Pro look like a 4:3 ratio tablet.

Secondly, because of the odd imagery, it kinda makes the Galaxy Tab Pro look a lot like an iPad Air with more buttons. I obviously realize these two tablets don't look anything alike, but their ad makes them look similar and Samsung of all companies should probably try avoiding that.

 

[Ravynmagi]

And I think LeBron is a giant douche, so I'm not much into that Note 3 commercial. Not sure why advertisers use this guy.

 

[gar655]

Both commercials are lame. Both make Samsung look like a wannabe player in both markets. Samsung seems like a whiny little biaaatch with these ads.

 

[bearxor]

I didn't really like the Note commercial. But the Tab 10 commercial was actually pretty good in a snarky way.

 

[Bateluer]

These were both amusing ads. They were technically accurate with regards to specs and capabilities while being humorously cheeky, nor do they assume the customer has been lobotomized like Apple ads.

Seeing as the TabPros are on sale now and my local BB had them on display, I took the opportunity to play with them this morning while buying GotS3. Still not a huge fan of the 10in tablets in general, but the TabPro 10.1 is noticeably thinner and lighter than the iPad Air. No S-pen though, and I'm not crazy about the buttons being both physical and in the center. Its hard to get to them without moving your hands/fingers. The 8.4 felt quite good in the hands, similar to the Note 8, but thinner and lighter. An all around overall improvement, with a more solid feel in the hand. The display model didn't creak or crack as the Note 8 does. Screen looks amazing. It was priced at 399 there, which is a bit steep compared to the excellent G-Pad device, though I will concede the Samsung screen is considerably better.

Note ad: Maybe it's just me, but other than the obvious size difference, I thought the colors on the iPhone looked better. Past that, I just have no interest in Samsung's phones. The Note especially... I don't need a dinner plate on my person at all times.

Tab Pro ad: Multi-tasking is cool, and definitely something I wish I could do on my iPad... but not so much that I would rather give up the iPad otherwise. Also, that's a really freaking complicated and long name. Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10 Point 1. Seriously? SERIOUSLY??

 

[Red Storm]

I laughed.

Also product names have zero effect on my purchasing decision.

I currently have the Note 10.1, I didn't realize the Tab Pro was actually thinner and lighter than the iPad. Is the only real difference between the Pro and the Note the S Pen?

The lack of an s-pen is exactly why they were able to make it slimmer than the iPad Air, no need for a slot to hold the pen.

As far as spec's go,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_Pro_10.1

System-on-chip used Samsung Exynos 5420 (Wi-Fi model)
or Snapdragon 800 (4G/LTE model)[1]

CPU 1.9 GHz octa-core (1.9 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 and 1.3 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7) (Wi-Fi model)
or 2.3 GHz quad-core Krait (ARMv7-compatible) (4G/LTE model)[1]

Graphics ARM Mali-T628MP6 (Wi-Fi model)
or Adreno 330 (4G/LTE model)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_10.1_2014_Edition

CPU 1.9 GHz octa-core
Samsung Exynos 5420 SoC processor (Wi-Fi/3G & Wi-Fi)
or
2.3 GHz quad-core
Snapdragon 800 SoC processor (4G/LTE) [1]

Graphics ARM Mali-T628MP6 (Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi & 3G versions),

So yeah, the Note has the s-pen, the Tab Pro does not. Not sure if the Note Pro 10.1 2014 is running 4.4.2 or not, but the TabPro definitely is.

 

[Red Storm]

1.19 lbs (Note 10.1) versus 1.01 lbs (Tab Pro). Also the Tab only has 2GB of RAM compared to the Note's 3GB.

 

[Zaap]

Hehe. Nice.

 

[XJustMeX21]

Lebron is literally running away from this phone... That's pretty good right there.

 

[WelshBloke]

Also, that's a really freaking complicated and long name. Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10 Point 1. Seriously? SERIOUSLY??

Apple iPad mini with retina display.

 

[Joe1987]

The best Samsung ad IMHO:

I really want a good smartwatch.

Haha... Yeah, that was a pretty good line. I thought the commercials seemed pretty cool.

2GB of RAM bugs me. Not so much that I wouldn't buy it. But why does the 12.2 inch model have 3GB of RAM and all the Note Pros have 3GB of RAM, but the two smaller Tab Pros only have 2GB of RAM? With all the bloat and multi-tasking, seems like the extra GB would be desirable (with stock Android it probably wouldn't make a difference).

Oh man, I had forgotten about that...

There's a Galaxy Note 2014, a Note Pro 10.1 and a Note Pro 12.2?

 

[cronos]

The TabPros are 8.4, 10.1, and 12.2. The NotePro is 12.2.
