However, the view so moved at the level of HDTVs, which it should do according to Samsung yes competition.
The other equipment is more reminiscent of a mid-range device. The Octa Core processor Exynos 7580 is Samsung's most powerful chip and even the memory of 2 GB RAM is already surpassed by the current high-end tablets.

The Samsung Galaxy View is delivered with the release of Android 5.1, and can be connected by means of a nano-SIM via mobile broadband to the Internet. However, since the main application area of the tablet is likely to be in your own home, it is of course much more sense to use the integrated WLAN module for the Internet connection. A release rate for the Galaxy View has not been betrayed Samsung, first speculations go but out of 599 US dollars.
