Introduction
For the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S, model SM-W700NZKAXAR, it is important for the front-facing camera to be functional and not broken. The front-facing camera allows to take pictures with the front side of the tablet. Thus, the ability to capture real-time memories is lost without the front-facing camera.
