The new model also has a slightly smaller display and ditches the integrated handle. There's a collapsible kickstand at the back for propping up the Galaxy View 2. Apps can be used in both landscape and portrait mode.
The carrier hadn't initially come forward the pricing and availability details for this gigantic tablet. AT&T has now confirmed the Galaxy View 2 price and release date. It's marketed at people who would like to have a massive, portable display for watching movies and TV shows. Content consumption is indeed a solid use case for the Galaxy View 2.
AT&T confirmed to Engadget that the Galaxy View 2 will be available both online and offline from April 26. It's going to be sold through the AT&T Next installment plan for 20 equal monthly payments of $37. This means that the Galaxy View 2 costs $740. It's more expensive than the original Galaxy View which was launched for $600.
So what do you get for all that cash? The Galaxy View 2 has a 17.3-inch 1080p display and is powered by an Exynos 7884 processor. There's 3GB RAM, 64GB storage and a 5-megapixel front camera for video calls. It features immersive Dolby Atmos audio and a chunky 12,000mAh battery. It's powered by Android 8.1 so no One UI, not yet anyway. AT&T has integrated some of its services as well. Customers can get easy access to DirecTV Now streaming and AT&T NumberSync for making and receiving calls on the device.
