Last year Samsung released a truly unique product. It’s an Android Lollipop-powered tablet that has a massive 18.4 inch display. Samsung doesn’t actually call the Galaxy View a tablet, it says the product is a “moveable display,” but it doesn’t seem to be moving many units since the device has received another price cut.
When the 18.4 inch tablet was launched last year it came with a retail price of $699. That seemed a bit steep for a product whose main selling point was a very large display. You don’t get flagship tablet-level specs for that price. It’s essentially a mid-range Android tablet with an 18.4 inch display.
Soon after launch Samsung cut the Galaxy View’s price by $100 where it stayed for a couple of months until now. You can now pick up the Galaxy View from Amazon, B&H and Best Buy for $449. All three major retailers are now selling the tablet at an additional $50 discount.
It remains to be seen whether or not this latest price cut is going to entice customers to pick up this unique device. The only purpose it’s really meant to serve is to provide you with an amazing platform to consume media content on. The fact that it doesn’t have a Quad HD display might put off some customers who would prefer to have superior quality with the large display size.
