    The Samsung Galaxy View comes with a 2.1MP camera in the front while the entire device is fueled by a 5,700 mAh battery with 8 hours of internet. The cell reportedly will allow you to listen to music for up to 299 hours, the device is also compatible with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity. It will come in a regular black colour with the Android 5.1 pre-installed.

    However, we should note, that currently the model with cellular connectivity will not hit sales anytime soon. So, we will only have access to the Wi-Fi only variant.Samsung Galaxy View

    Even up till a fortnight ago, we were wondering why exactly had Samsung launched an 18 inch device which seemed like a hybrid of a TV and a tablet. Perhaps time will tell. Would you be willing to lug the Samsung Galaxy View around for some video-streaming pleasure when it arrives in India?

    Why Did Samsung Launch a Huge 18-Inch Tablet/TV?

    Samsung’s newest addition to the tech world includes an 18-inch device which is a hybrid between a TV and a tablet. With its size and measurements and a handle in its design, the device is meant to be carried around like a briefcase. It’s clear from the start the main purpose of this gadget, Galaxy View, is video streaming and viewing. But honestly, don’t we already have laptops and television sets for that? The physiological need to watch videos to the extent of lugging around an 18-inch device is a little hard to imagine.Samsung Galaxy View

    The Korean company claims that Galaxy View is an attempt to achieve a middle ground between a TV and a tablet. However the screen has no 4K, QuadHD or Retina display. What it does have is full HD 1920X1080 resolution display instead. The screen specs were chosen keeping in mind the battery life. The Galaxy View can provide up to 8 hours of viewing with 5,700 milliamp-hour battery.

    The team at Samsung cannot have enough of their little baby. Sean Bornheimer, a senior manager of product for Samsung Design of America says,

    “Multiple people can view, which is very difficult with other kinds of portable devices. It’s really about the experience and less about the specs.”

    The operating system of the device -since we’re unsure of what else to call it – is Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and it comes with a 1.6 GHz octa-core processor and 2 GB of RAM. The two variants are marked at 32 GB and 64 GB memory respectively expandable up to 128 GB. The base model is wi-fi only but an LTE model would be made available soon, claims Samsung.Samsung Galaxy View

    It is unclear what exactly Samsung aims to achieve with this device, or who exactly is the target audience. However, because the specs of the device are not high-end, the price can be expected to be low enough to draw customers. Either way, all the best with being adventurous, Samsung.
