Want a big screen experience from a tablet? Samsung Malaysia is bringing its ginormous Galaxy View that comes with a huge 18.4″ Full HD touch screen display. Refused to be acknowleged as TV or a tablet, it is seen as a new entertainment hub that sits on top of your desk instead of your lap.
It runs on Android and to differentiated its use from a tablet, the interface uses big buttons and fonts for a touch-screen TV like experience. Under the hood, it runs on a 1.6GHz Octa-Core processor with 2GB of RAM and comes with 32GB of storage on-board. For Malaysia, we are getting a WiFi only version and it was spotted carrying an RM2,699 price tag in Samsung Malaysia’s product catalogue. According to Lowyat.Net, the Galaxy View could go on sale as early as next week.
To load up more content, it has an expandable microSD slot and there’s also a 2.1MP front camera for video conferencing. If you’re taking this out of the living room, the Galaxy View comes with a 5,700mAh battery that is rated to last up to 8 hours unplugged. At 2.65kg, this is almost as heavy as a laptop and there’s even a handle at the back for you to lift the Galaxy View around. For further reading, you can check out our Galaxy View announcement post.
