Next, the South Korean tech giant also released the Galaxy TabPro S, a tablet with full PC functionality, pre-loaded with Windows 10.

At 6.3mm and 693g, the device is likewise designed to be lightweight and portable.

The tablet also comes with a full-sized detachable keyboard.

Both devices will be available early this year.
