Samsung's giant screen tablet, which has been exposed for some time, is finally officially released today. This tablet, called Galaxy View, has an 18.6-inch screen, and Samsung has once again achieved the ultimate in "big".

Samsung defines the Galaxy View as a tablet computer for home entertainment consumption. The size of general smart phones and tablets is insignificant compared with it. This is more like a smaller portable TV. Or it is a cross-border device between ordinary tablet computers and televisions. The design of the Galaxy View is also very special. Samsung has also designed a handle that can act as a bracket. It looks like a vegetable basket or shopping bag.

The main purpose of Galaxy View is to watch movies and TV video programs. Unlike the general desktop based on application icons, the main boundary of Galaxy View slides to the right, mainly focusing on multimedia. Some commonly used video apps are placed, such as Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, etc. Users can access their favorite content services without any menus.

Although the screen is huge, users can move it freely through the built-in handle of Galaxy View. Whether you want to watch cooking video tutorials in the kitchen or watch TV shows in the bathroom, Galaxy View can satisfy you.

Perhaps it is mainly designed for watching video programs. The hardware configuration of Galaxy View is only average compared to its screen size. The 18.6-inch resolution is only 1080P. It is equipped with the 1.6GHz Exynos 7580 (eight core A53, Mali-T720), with 2GB of memory and 32/64GB of memory (expandable microSD card slot). In order to facilitate video calls, Galaxy View is also equipped with a 2.1 megapixel front camera. The battery capacity is up to 5700mAh. In addition, Galaxy View also supports inserting nano SIM card to use LTE network, which means you can take it outdoors for use. The three dimensions of the Galaxy View are 451.8 × 275.8 × 11.9mm.

Samsung has not yet announced the price of Galaxy View, but according to the previous B&H and Adorama, two foreign e-commerce platforms, its 32G version sells for $599 (equivalent to 3802 yuan).

General large-sized tablets are used in the business and education markets. Apple's iPad Pro is clearly aimed at this market. However, Samsung Galaxy View is aimed at the home entertainment market this time. It seems to seize the TV market, but it is more portable than TV and larger than ordinary tablet computers. After the Galaxy Note series, Samsung launched such cross-border products again. Whether it can succeed remains to be seen.
