Galaxy Tab

Barnes & Noble's Nook Color was, in a sense, the first "Kindle Fire." The first budget 7-in e-reader/tablet hybrid launched in late 2010, a full year before the 1st-gen Fire hit store shelves. Well, today all that's left of B&N's tablet strategy is a new partnership with Samsung.

Samsung has announced a new addition to its Galaxy range of tablets. The Galaxy Tab 4 Education is the company's first tablet designed for use in schools and can be used at both primary and secondary levels. It will provide access to education-focused apps, books, and videos.

Earlier this year, Samsung finally launched some high-end Galaxy Tabs. But that doesn't mean the company is going to ditch its successful lineup of mid-range slates. Today the company officially announced the 2014 edition of its not-so-top-of-the-line tablet series, the Galaxy Tab 4.

Most of Samsung's recent tablets have been mid-range. But 2014 is a different story, with Samsung's high-end Galaxy Pro tablets hitting store shelves. We'll be reviewing all of them soon, but today we're starting with the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1.

Samsung is about to unleash a whole mess of high-end tablets on us. With four Galaxy Pro tablets – the Galaxy Note Pro, Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1, and Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 – to choose from, we thought we'd line them up and take a look at their features and specs.

It took a while for hardware manufacturers to squeeze high-resolution screens into smaller tablets, but those floodgates are now wide open. Let's take the features and specs of one of the first razor-sharp mini-tablets, the 2013 Nexus 7, and compare them to those of the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4.

Samsung has four new high-end tablets set to launch in the next few months. The smallest of the bunch, the Galaxy TabPRO 8.4, looks like Samsung's best answer yet to the iPad mini. Let's plop it down next to the iPad mini with Retina Display, and see how their features and specs compare.

For the last few years, Samsung's tablets have been aimed squarely at the mid-range. But at CES 2014, the company pulled back the curtain on four new Galaxy tablets that take aim at the high-end. Let's see how one of those new slates, the Galaxy TabPRO 10.1, compares to Apple's iPad Air.

A premium version of a popular Samsung tablet, the Galaxy TabPro was revealed in three different sizes at CES 2014. Gizmag was there to take them for a quick spin.

Planning on putting a new tablet on your holiday wish list? To help you sort through the gaggle of slates out there, look no further than Gizmag's 2013 Tablet Comparison Guide, where we break down the features and specs of the year's hottest tablets.

The 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 is a decidedly mid-range tablet, when aimed at grown-ups. However, in its latest incarnation as the Galaxy Tab 3 Kids, complete with a bright yellow color-scheme, parental controls and a chunky rubber case, it's become one of the higher-end devices aimed at children.

Gizmag compares the specs (and other features) of the new 2nd-gen Nexus 7 and Samsung's Galaxy Tab 3 7.0. Spoiler: it's one of the most lopsided comparisons we've ever done.
