The iPad Pro will be launched next month. Apple has high hopes for this large screen tablet computer, but it seems that Samsung does not intend to let Apple alone steal the limelight. A Samsung tablet with a larger screen is coming, and the size of the screen has reached an astonishing 18.4 inches.

In September this year, Apple released a new iPad series, iPad Pro, which attracted countless eyeballs. However, as early as 2014, Samsung had released a tablet computer with a large screen, the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2. Its screen size is 12.2 inches. Compared with many tablets with a screen size of only 10 inches or less, the 12.2 inch screen size is quite amazing.

However, it is clear that Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 is far from being so popular, and Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 has not really succeeded in the market. Although the tablet market is very mature, it is only for tablets with a screen size of about 10 inches and below. In fact, the tablet market with a larger screen has not been opened.

The tablet computer of this size is aimed at professionals. When the mainstream mass market has been occupied, it is particularly important who can take the lead in the professional field. Apple's iPad Pro is clearly aimed at the market that has not yet been opened, and Samsung, also the market leader, clearly needs to do something.

I still remember the egg bar "Galaxy View" when Samsung released the Gear S2 on the IFA in September. Galaxy View is Samsung's latest tablet product. Galaxy View has a large 18.4-inch screen, and Samsung has designed a guard that can act as a bracket. According to the previously exposed parameters, the Galaxy View has a screen resolution of 1080P, a 1.6GHz Exynos 7580 (eight core A53, Mali-T720), a memory of 2GB, a battery capacity of 5700mAh, and a circumference of 451.8 × 275.8 × 11.9mm. It is also worth noting that the Galaxy View does not use the Home key, the return key and the multitasking key that we commonly use on Samsung mobile phones and tablets, but uses the design of virtual keys.

The large screen tablet computer is very suitable for the business and education markets. This year's tablet computer market has shown signs of recession. The growth of shipments of major manufacturers has significantly decreased, and the iPad is no exception. And recently, according to Apple's financial report, Mac's revenue has exceeded that of iPad. The iPad product line needs new vitality, and the larger screen and stronger configuration of the iPad Pro will help Apple to develop a broader enterprise, education and game market. Galaxy View is also expected to be launched in the near future. Whether Galaxy View can successfully block iPad Pro remains to be seen.
