The first model was the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2010 with 7-inch display, which was presented to the public on 2 September 2010 at the IFA in Berlin and was available on 5 November 2010.

The original Galaxy Tab series was the first line of Samsung tablets.

Initially, it was the flagship line of tablets before being relegated to mid-range upon the release of the Galaxy Tab 2 series.

The original Galaxy Tab Pro devices, released in 2014, were a series of three high-end tablets running the Android operating system.

In 2016, Samsung released another device in the Tab Pro line, the Galaxy TabPro S, although that tablet ran Windows 10 instead of Android.
