Samsung Galaxy View is a rather unusual device in that it is both a tablet and a television. Sporting a behemoth Full HD display, the device is designed for entertainment purposes, with a powerful octa-core processor placed in charge of affairs.

Design and Display
A look at the Samsung Galaxy View and you immediately reach the conclusion that it is not really a device you would want to carry around a lot. It crams in a humongous 18.5-inch diagonal display with a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, while weighing about five pounds.
Full HD might seem not the best screen resolution, but the display should still offer immersive viewing; besides, the quality of most content right now maxes out at 1080p.
It is safe to think of the tablet as a portable TV that you can easily move around the home. Its kickstand features a handle that allows you carry it easily from one place to another. Reading should be highly enjoyable on this slate, which can also be used as a secondary display.
Performance and Software
Samsung Galaxy View is equipped with an octa-core processor clocked at 1.6 GHz and supported by 2 GB of RAM. With that configuration, you should expect great user experience on the device, especially since it does not appear like one designed for productivity but for watching videos.
Samsung Galaxy View runs on responsive Android 5.1.1 Lollipop software, which is overlaid with Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface.
Miscellaneous Information
A large 5700mAh battery supplies needed juice to the Galaxy View and is rated to be capable of supporting up to eight hours of continuous video playback. The colossal tablet will be made available in two storage versions: 32GB and 64GB. Onboard storage will be expandable via a microSD card slot by up to 128 GB.
Samsung Galaxy View will initially be available in Wi-Fi only model, but an LTE model is to be released later. Super-fast Wi-Fi 802.11ac is the choice here. Buyers also get microUSB and Bluetooth 4.1 for connectivity.
