Samsung Galaxy View 2 renders showcase huge display, refined design
The original Samsung Galaxy View
The humongous tablet isn’t thought to have sold incredibly well, but way back in August it was revealed that Samsung was working on a successor. And today, over eight months later, SamMobile has obtained official renders of the upcoming tablet.
A slightly smaller display and a redesigned rear
A mid-range processor and just 3GB of RAM
The tablet, which bears the model number SM-T927A, was previously spotted on benchmark database Geekbench. This revealed the presence of an Exynos 7885 on the inside and just 3GB of RAM. It’s unclear how much storage the tablet will offer, but a minimum of 64GB seems likely.
Like Samsung’s other devices, Android 9 Pie complete with the One UI overlay should be present straight out of the box. This will be paired with Bluetooth and optional 4G LTE support – a Wi-Fi only version is in the works.
In recent times, Samsung has continued to expand support for its S Pen – it now ships with Galaxy Note smartphones, certain tablets, and even some Chromebooks – but it seems as though the Galaxy View 2 won’t benefit from this, despite its huge size.
Samsung Galaxy View 2 release date, pricing, availability
The Samsung Galaxy View 2 will seemingly be heading to AT&T sometime in the near future – the renders clearly show the carrier’s logo on the rear. This corroborates previous leaks which suggested AT&T would exclusively offer the tablet. The availability of an unlocked variant remains to be seen, however.
Regarding the official pricing, no information has leaked so far. However, the original Galaxy View did retail at $599 during launch. Considering this, there’s a change Samsung will price the Galaxy View 2 the same way. Alternatively, it could drop the price a little in order to spark interest and pass on savings to consumers from the smaller display – the panel is presumably cheaper to produce considering no upgrades are expected.
