Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 which is speculated to be available in June had its images and its specifications made available online and what better way for this tablet pre-show than to put it in a side by side appraisal against the Surface Pro and the iPad Air.

According to GSM Arena, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 will show off a 10.1 touchscreen, a few inches bigger than the previous models in 2015 which had a 8 inch and 9.7-inch screen. A 7-inch model also made its way into the flagship without much fanfare during the first month of this year.

The Surface Pro has a 10.6 inch ClearType Full HD Display screen while the iPad Air sported a 9.7-inch screen.

The tablet features a 1920 x 1200 pixel display compared to Surface Pro's 1920 x 1080 resolution at 264 pixel-per-inch while iPad Air is at 9.7 in the display with 2732×2048 pixels at 264 pixel-per-inch.

The tablet is also 8.2mm thinner and weighs only 525g. It has two stereo speakers which are both placed on the same (bottom) side, which is relatively incredible for a full-blown Windows PC.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 will have a 1.6 GHz octa-core processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of eMMC flash storage contrasted to Surface Pro's 3rd Gen Intel Core i5 Processor, 4GB RAM, and 64GB Storage and 128 GB Memory and iPad Air's storage of 16GB or 64GB with 64-bit A8X and M8 processors and 2GB RAM.

An 8MP rear camera and a 2MP front-facing camera from the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 is a major upgrade to iPad Air's weak 1.2MP/720p front and 8MP/1080p rear. While Surface Pro presents us with a two 720p HD cameras in both front and rear-facing.

Samsung's new tablet supports 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS and GLONASS, and there will be WiFi-only and 3G/4G-capable models.

Overall, the three tablets are an everyman devices, the upcoming device from Samsung, however, stands out from the two because of its much-improved features.
