    Wonderful, finally mapapalitan ko na ang galaxy tab 7.7 the 1st galaxy tab with amoled. Was planning to replace this but been kpt reviewing updates ng samsung and their upcoming models. Was tempted to buy the pro, pero noong nagkaroon ng hint that there will be a new galaxy tab model coming w/ amoled screen, di muna tinuloy ung plan ko.. kaya if you are samsung fanatic, always update yourselvs with mobile reviews. So i am going to buy this s edition.. pero i heard that flexi screen will be coming out on 2015 both phone and tab.. so nganga!

    Damn superAmoled goodness. I just bought my tab pro 8.4 for 19 thousang 3 weeks ago. I did read rumors of high end galaxy tabs pros with Amoled display but disregarded it.

    My tab pro 8.4 isnt bad at all, it looks really nice and snappy. No regrets.

    Wow that was nice, there’re using own CPU after all, hoping that they improve their own company cpu. Amoled is more powerful and efficient than LCD!

    • Avatar for tam tam says:

      $399 for wifi model only since 3 gb ram xia cguro nasa 25k ang LTE version, may tab pro lte din ako. Thats why minsan kakainis si samsung ang daming nilalabas. Nasasapawan agad ang iba.

      By the time it hits the Philippines, there will be a significant increase in price. Maybe around P25,000 or more.
