Samsung's first two in one, Galaxy TabPro S evaluation
Samsung's first two in one, Galaxy TabPro S evaluation

Microsoft spared no effort to promote its own Windows, and even developed a two in one tablet notebook such as Surface to set an example for major OEMs. With the launch of Win10, Samsung finally released the Galaxy TabPro S, its first Win10 2-in-1 tablet notebook, with Microsoft's Surface in the front and Huawei's MateBook in the rear. Can Samsung's Galaxy TabPro S make a breakthrough?


Appearance&Packaging

The outer package uses black as the main color, and the style is consistent with the Galaxy series. There is also a layer of packaging inside. This time, we get the white TabPro S.


The external keyboard together with the machine can also serve as a protective shell in the same color as the machine. The leather shell has an excellent texture. The black version is equipped with a black keyboard. The keyboard is equipped with NFC chip, which can be quickly matched with mobile phones and other devices. It can be adsorbed with TabPro S using magnets, and its firmness is not worried.


Accessories include charger, USB Type-A to USB Type-C data cable and San Bao certificate manual. The charger model is EP-TA300, not the one in Note 7. It supports fast charging, and the maximum power is 24W. Related tests are available at the back of the article.


There is a front camera and sensor above the TabPro S, which is obvious on the white panel. The effect of the black model should be better.


The logo of Samsung is printed on the bottom, and there are 5 contacts connected to the keyboard on the bottom.


There is a Windows key on the left side of the body, a headphone hole and a USB Type-C interface on the right side, and speakers are arranged on the left and right sides respectively. After careful oil treatment, it should be found that some parts of the metal frame are injection molded antennas, which should be used to ensure signal processing.


The top is the power key and volume key. The touch and texture of several physical keys are very good.


The protrusion of the rear camera is relatively serious, but it is irrelevant considering that the keyboard is basically connected when actually used, and the protrusion will instantly "disappear".


The figure combined with the keyboard has to mention that the tilt angle is slightly insufficient, and it feels tired after a long time of use. It would be better if you could lean back a little more.


In addition, there is an angle of "Ge You lying down". After a few days of experience, the author prefers to use this angle to code words or watch videos on his legs, but his neck will be uncomfortable on the desktop.


Screen quality

TabPro S is equipped with a 12 inch 3:2 Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2160x1440. The maximum brightness measured manually by using the test software is about 300 nits, and it can soar to 350 nits when the automatic adjustment is enabled. The color temperature is 7300K, and the color gamut covers 135.2% of sRGB, with an average Delta E of 5.8.

For Samsung's Super AMOLED, such data is not excellent, but for a computer, such performance is normal, but not lost. The actual appearance of the human eye is OK. The automatic adjustment is a bit too sensitive. A slight change in the environment will change the brightness. Sometimes it changes too frequently.


Performance&System

In terms of hardware configuration, the TabPro S processor is Intel Core M3-6Y30. According to the official document, the CPU is a 14nm process, with the dominant frequency of 0.9GHz and the maximum Rui frequency of 2.2GHz. In fact, from the system information, the TabPro S Rui frequency is up to 1.51GHz, which should be limited by Samsung for power consumption and heating. The GPU is an integrated HD Graphics 515. The test machine on hand is a low configuration version with 4G memory+128G SSD.


According to the test results of Cinebench R15, OpenGL had the best performance of 33.46fps and CPU of 195cb.


The 3DMark test was unable to test the Fire Strike series, so we had to take the next step and simply test the Sky Diver, with a final score of 2968.


From its hardware configuration and test results, it can be seen that TabPro S can meet the requirements of daily office and video entertainment in terms of performance. As for the game, it is not enough. The recently popular Watch Pioneer has to be set to a low resolution of 1280x800 (because of the scale problem, the full screen can only be displayed at 16:10, and there will be black edges at 16:9), and the special effects can only be run smoothly at all levels. In case of multi player group war, it is still unavoidable to get stuck.


The system is pre equipped with Windows 10 home Chinese version. Samsung has not made any other changes except for adding some pre installed software. If you don't like the desktop mode, you can also switch to the tablet mode. The response speed of the system is good in daily use. Basically, it can be opened at any time. As for the painful opening speed of Office 2016, I can't complain much. Occasionally, there will be some bugs in the system, which can only be solved by restarting and drinking more hot water. I hope the machine system officially sold by Samsung can be further optimized.


Endurance

Compared with the previously tested two in one tablet notebook, TabPro S and Spectre x2 also equipped with Core M still have 44% of power left, and even only 7% of power is consumed in the process of microblogging. It seems that Super AMOLED and Core M have a good phase. Officially, the 5200mAh battery can last for 10 hours. If it is used lightly, there is no pressure.


Heat&Others

After running a large game, the maximum temperature is next to the camera, reaching 43.8 degrees Celsius, which is ideal. It is not hot to the touch. Core M has great advantages in this respect. At the same time, because there is no fan component, there is no annoying fan noise during operation.


The original charger of TabPro S mentioned above can charge Le 2 or Moto X-pole at a speed of 9.2V/1.4A with a power of 13W, which proves that it supports the QC protocol, that is, the fast charge used by TabPro S may be QC. Try to use Meizu's charger to charge TabPro S, and the power can even reach 26W, which is higher than the original charger.


summary

The Galaxy TabPro S, Samsung's first Win10 2-in-1 tablet notebook, is more suitable for friends who need a second notebook, or commonly known as "mistress notebook". It is basically used as the auxiliary of the main machine for office work and occasional entertainment. It is necessary to be thin and light, good in performance, and excellent in endurance. The defects of TabPro S are obvious: the processor performance of Core M is not strong, the keyboard feel limited by the thickness is average, and only one USB Type-C interface has weak expansion capability. If these are not a problem, then the consideration is whether to go to Jingdong to grab the 5999 starter.
