Samsung Galaxy View - User Reviews

  • bro i have it and its Sooo sweet

  • Are you all crazy I'm not a techie or do I play games this is the biggest baddest tablet I have ever seen the picture quality is excellent battery life 5 times more than I expected do not like the fact it will not run the Uber driver app if that's a downfall I've let this thing sit 3 for 5 days off charge and still has top of the world battery power left the picture is awesome hook it up to your stereo and it is awesome that's the only drawback the sound on its own great as a second TV

  • If they didn't make it insanely expensive, I would for sure get one. It's basically an all in one portable TV. Lol.

  • There are romours about a new Galaxy View of 17 inch, but still with mediocre specs. 32GB and 3GB ram.

  • I noticed that you list a main camera and no selfie camera but the only camera is a selfie camera as in facing the user looking at the screen.

  • I've had similar issues regarding samsung tablet battery charging. Some of the drainage can be attributed to apps running in the background. Other contributers may include the following : too many appliances plugged in. History and cache should be cleaned out regularly. Usb charging cable Maybe defective or one of the leads is damaged. These tablets are notoriously Bad for running excessively hot. Room temperature can effect it as well. Then there the possibility of a faulty battery or usb port. I'm hoping for a Major update.

  • I’m quite happy with this tablet. For the money, I think it is really quite good. I think it is slow for browsing, as I have a very fast modem, but pages just don’t seem to load very fast. This is the first Android device I have owned and it is a good platform. I hae Apple in the past, but I have to say, my Apple iPad Pro is much, much faster. I am not unhappy with the purchase of the Galaxy View, and it sits on my desk, but I can easily take it with me. Also, I connected a drive reader via USB, and I can easily read huge 4 TB drives, so there is no shortage of storage. Great device!

  • Love this tablet however battery will not charge/hold charge? Have others experienced this problem? Unsure if battery or adaptor??? Will sometimes charge up to 28% but doesn't hold and powers down. Thoughts?

  • 256 GB, for now. Android has no limit.

  • The Samsung Webite says it will support a maximum 128GB micro data card. The info contained here says 256GB. Which is it?

  • Realsed 2015, November, Android 5.1.1 , 18.4 inch, and 2.1 Mp

  • Does it support calling facility ? Dialling and receiving voice calls ?

  • I’ve gotten about hours screen time max watching Netflix and news 12 on the optimum app. But recently it’s been declining like most freaking android tablets after time.

  • I’m afraid the screen doesn’t rotate. Then again since the curved stand is build in and designed to prop the tablet up in landscape mode it would be awkward to hold it in portrait mode. Also FYI the battery drains fast even with power saving on.

  • Yes, it's HUGE. It's also Samsung. So all the crisp screen you expect is there. If you have ATT wireless and ATT TV service, you can watch TV data free through the app.

  • Are you kidding me??? This is phone, tablet, iPad, or Monitor??? If that's a tablet, it's too big for me!

  • The best pad I have used,if you have a way to pack it around. I been back packing it to work since Dec 2015 . We have a weekly Clash of Clans battle at work on Friday at lunch. IT has been good for getting everyone together better than Sigma 6 and it has even got the bosses into it. We peacefully attack the world weekly ! I think in this crazy world it is good to have a common ground with some fun attached! I just turned 65 . I have a maxed out 15' HP laptop at home and a Note 5. The Galaxy View makes a perfect trio. When I retire shortly I will use my View for Home controls or start my vehicle after I check the weather. I remember when my Dad bought my Grandmother a GE wired remote Color TV that would only rotate the channels. That got the neighbors to come over! That was before Fortran and Cobal.

  • the battery is too small for this screen! 4k on a 18" screen?? are you crazy?? fhd is more than enough! fhd on 6" smartphones is just silly!!

  • 4K resolution would make this device a deal breaker.

  • Hi. My boyfriend wants to use the Galaxy View to do business presentation with his clients. Do you know any app that can be used control the presentation using a Galaxy Notepro 12.2" tablet? In essence, he wants to use the Galaxy View as a projector screen during a presentation. If anyone knows how to do this, please email me at [email protected] . Thanks.

  • 5700mah in an 18inch tablet? Wtf. Not to mention just FHD

  • two things I dislike about view are the fragile tablet not secured on table can be falling and break the led monitor no matter of the glass not broken . the android is limited unlike the ios game, starbase orion not applied to android . better with tv or video movies. good in viewing email with pictures or comics IF android get the game like master of orion in touch mode or starbaseorion it can be in demand with the fans in the series of master of orion.

  • hi friend too make calls n texts u need to down load a application off ((play store)) thats were u download games wallpapers other apps to your galaxy view and thers a application called text now free calls texts theres other ones to choose from if u dont like that apps features ..good luck with your new device i ordered one myself i lol the sz this device is 18.4 screen.. :o) awesome it is ...

  • hi,there go to play store there a application u download to be able to have cell servicesbe cause i owe a samsung galaxy 10.1 tablet and it works by using a application like next➕plus frre calls & texts try that idea the galaxy view should give u text & cell services....

  • I would like to know if the galaxy view is correct for managing my picture albums

  • this device can use the sim card for the mobile data only not to make phone calls with

  • Unfortunately NO

  • Does screen rotation?

  • I bought one Cyber Monday and took it back today. Was very disappointed with the picture quality. I thought the picture quality was terrible for a Samsung product! I also feel the product is not constructed well, I imagine this is to keep the weight down. The plastic screen was too much for me!

  • Ive seen this beast in personn and ive held it in my hands and ive decided I'm buying one next fortnight cant wait to own one

  • How do you rotate the camera to take a picture

  • its just awesome

  • There is no way on this tablet to rotate screen? Doesn't have gyroscope neither acelerometer ? That is too bad for games... such a pity

  • Sometimes, based upon the software accessed, 2 GB ram will not handle the top performance of the software; ie: in gaming.

  • Is it screen rotatable for a certain text reading. Is it enough resolution for watching hiking maps without zooming? Actually how many hours can You play medias?

  • Hi guys! Can someone call by phone with this device? I live in Spain and I have purchased, 4 days ago, this tablet, in Amazon Italy, because in Spain don´t sell this model. I have got a Note Pro 12.2 and works well phoning calls. When I bought this tablet I thought that would be the same, but I can´t find the green icon with the phone, nor the dialer. I only see the CONTACTS icon and I push on the numbers and everything else, and is impossible call by phone. I have talked with Samsung Italy and they said that is possible to phoning with, they insist that works with Europeans SIM´s correctly. I put the SIM into the slot and the tablet recognise it, all the symbols are right, 4G and the triangle with the four bars. I tried phoning with other phone to the SIM of the tablet and give the signal ok, but the tablet don´t do anything, it does not sound, but everything seems to be going well... The tablet is in warranty and I don´t want flashing by odin ( does anybody know if this device has the famous counter of flashing rom?) The actual ROM is T677XXU1AOJC. I tried with Kies and it installed the same rom (PDA: 0K5, CSC: 0K5, PHONE OJC (ITV) I have got a SGS 4 too, from Rumania, and never gives troubles. If somebody know´s something about this, please, tell me, because I don´t know what to do! Sorry for my bad english and thanks!

  • In pakistan and specially peshawar where is the main shop wherefrom This 18.4 samsung galaxy white can be obtained with warranty or guarantee . Please guide me .. I have been using samsung galaxy gtn8000 32gb quadcore 1o.1white very Nicely Its performance is beyand narration ..Its my teacher friend family member in my hands lap on bed...copletely informative.

  • I went to the store intending to buy a small TV for the bedroom, and ended up coming home with the Galaxy View instead. Amazing device and well worth it, as I could install Kodi straight onto the device and access all entire media library from my Linux server without the hassle of setting up an additional device like a Raspberry Pi. Unlike a TV, the relative portability also makes it easy to bring it into the kitchen too! The screen quality isn't the best, but it's passable for just watching shows while relaxing or making dinner. The sound quality is pretty decent for a tablet though; the speakers sound much closer to those on a real TV than you might expect. Since owning this tablet, I also found some other cool uses for it. For example, it's great when I'm playing PS4 games and want to read a guide for the game I'm playing, as I can just sit the tablet on my lap and easily read and navigate guides on the large screen without even putting the controller down. I also installed some music rhythm games on it (ReRave Plus, Cytus, DJ Max), which are incredible fun on a screen of this size, although the touchscreen sometimes can't keep up with the fast inputs required on the harder songs. Overall, the Galaxy View is a very unique device in that it can fulfil several roles that no other device really can. Aside from the average picture quality and touchscreen issue, I'm really happy that I went with the View instead of settling with a standard non-portable bedroom TV.

  • Hi to every one i bye galaxy view,that is amazing this tablet is so loud sound and supported 1tera byte its good for easy life

  • I have a 13.3" Lenovo yoga 2 pro tablet which I have to say is very good, you can send text messages but no voice calling for obvious reasons, but overall it's great playing games and watching movies on there, and the display is really impressive. I recommend these larger tablets, so much better than these 8 and 10 inch tablets, I have 2 sony tablets in those categories and it's just not exciting enough playing games on the 10" never mind the 8".

  • Microsoft provide Remote Desktop Client which works very well for devices like this. The product is aptly named "View". So why would you want to stuff it with a bloated PC operating system?

  • I would wait to see a Galaxy Tab View 4K and then a View 4K 12.2 and 10.1

  • when i buy a 18 inch monitor and attached my phone to it. i get a Samsung galaxy view.

  • Hi Any idea will Samsung View 2 be released? If yes, about when? Kelvin (Singapore)

  • 4GB RAM sounds good, but would that be of benefit on this device?...considering it isn't running a PC operating system, and is intended for such uses as comments refer to here. From users' experience it appears to do a fine job, so the 'inadequate RAM' theory seems to be wrong somewhere.

  • I have had mine since the release date and I love it. Use it daily heavy usage at that its wonderful if we're willing to spend the money

  • I would love this if it had at least 3gb and a better camera for this price. I don't know what Samsung was thinking....2gb? Yet I dig the idea of a huge tablet!

  • yes, is very less...

  • Big but great some of us do love big machines... if i could afford 1 i'd have it by now... using a j7 cant complain about the processor but Ram way tooooo small... that should be a super multitasking machine as in open 8 apps on 1 screen... it deserves 4GB+ Ram and maybe Deca or Dodeca core... Samsung this is a machine to show off what you are capable of!!!!!!! give it an 8GB Ram, Dodeca Mongoose or something out of this world!!!!!

  • Nice movable touch screen for watching.my favourit football matches in ay place.

  • 2gb Ram is very less for this type of large tablet it should b atleast 3 or 4 gb ram and must have snapdragon.

  • Yes indeed, I am a bigfoot and I find the devices used by humans quite small for me. Thanks to Samsung now we bigfoots can use a phone too.

  • try to used hp slate21 that'll do to your cravings bigfoot.....

  • dude what are you, bigfoot?

  • I always used to think that mobile devices including tablets are way too small, tablets of size 10 inch felt too small in my palms and there was often no room for my fingers on those devices but the size of this tablet is perfect, I often carry it around in my pocket and use it with one hand.

  • i buy this tablet for remote my audio digital mixer... and i guess this is the best tablet to do that...

  • I believe is a great tablet/mini extremely smart TV. Works great for me and I really enjoy the purchase. To bad there is no Screen Mirroring capabilities.

  • Full HD for €650?? Come on samsung its not worthed...

  • well when you look at the same device through apple even though the dont have one anywhere near that size it double

  • Cant Samsung drop prices , its too expencive Do we really have this device RSA

  • Well, not a problem with the kind of internet speed we have in Hong Kong.

  • Go love your tablet because this Galaxy view is not a tablet. Samsung product planners already explain the logic behind Galaxy View. It is a new experimental category Samsung made called the 'movable display'. Not meant to be a tablet in any ways possible. They try to eliminate the needs for user to micro operate the device with fine touch. Thats why the icons is super large.

  • my note 10.1 2014 edition is far far away better than this.....

  • I would've bought one if it had 4 GB Ram

  • I like the galaxy view but I can't use my full screen to play some apps

  • Thanks, my friend for anwering. Happy new year.

  • I would really love to have these devices but I don't have money, its too expensive, its depend on my Dad mind.

  • Hello My Friend, To answer your question here are some app that WILL work besides that the tablet is an AWESOME Device to own!! You can use a sim card from what I can see because at&t put one in mine but I think it's space to add a separate Sim; either way with the plan it's the best I've seen so far. If you're looking for one with a good quality camera it may be a while before that happens so I use the a few wireless ip cameras and have the convenience of keeping track of things through my Samsung Galaxy View; even record like surveillance.

  • Please, anyone know if the LTE version of samsun galaxy view has gsm capailities? Is kt ale to make and receive phone calls and also receive and send SMS? Thank you

  • Why does this have lower specs than my Galaxy Tab s 10.5"? Love my tablet. I have 3gb ram, my screen is MULTIPLE better. WTF Samsung. Thank you for my completely amazing tablet but you know... I love gadgets and have loots of them. If this thing rocked a 4k display and like 4GB ram (3gb might be ok also) I would already have one. Why do you keep building occasional devices that ROCK around a slew of under powered options? Are you afraid people wont buy it at the price point? We will!

  • Should have: 77% screen-to-body ratio 15 inches touchscreen Super AMOLED technology QHD resolution 3 GB RAM 128 GB storage 9000 mAh battery

  • Why isn't this available in the UK?

  • Even LED TV 40" 50" has same FHD resuolation so no issue but No Super AMOLED and No 4GB RAM....What a pity!

  • there is no need to say anything which is better :D

  • go check asus transformer t300 chi

  • very bad design

  • Where is the logic of that? I can't believe someone still think that way aboit screen resolution. You need more pixel in small display because we put the screen close to our face. We put less pixel in large display because we stay at a fat distant from the screen. Don't you get it? Look at tv billboard on the street. Does it look like that 100inch billboard have 4k display to you? Why would you want high resolution on something that you cannot look at in arm length distant. You would be looking at it at least 50feets away. Now, that is logic my dear.

  • People have different needs for different things. I purchased this as a portable screen for my home security system instead of the standard computer monitor and its a great idea for this. I can carry from room to room to have a constant view of security cameras as apposed to sitting in one room. Think outside the box different things are great for different things if you want 4k viewing buy a 65 inch TV like everyone else!

  • you made my day lool thanks

  • just remember how slow it would be streaming a 4k video especially if you live in a house with other people in it too

  • Seems none of you have bought it or have a need for it I am older, with arthritic finger and poorer vision. The keyboard is amazing with a numeric keypad. The font is great and easy to read with hardly any strain on the eyes ' The weight is ok.. heavy but less than my 15" laptop. The handle is great when you need to get up and put the tablet beside you .. on the floor ....no need for a side table to trip off The applications are great. The screen is OK for TV but not great for low resolution pictures. I've had it for a day, and I thing it is perfect for the senior and aging population

  • whoa chill, Mr. Smartass, i never said i didnt know about what you said. i KNOW. are you dumb or what? if Samsung puts QHD on a 5.1", then it's pretty logical if they put at least QHD on a 18.4" device. even their 12" tablet has higher resolution, if you really didnt bother much about pixelation then 720p on a 5.5" would be perfect for you.

  • Correction!sony z5 premium with the 5.5-inch 4k display ;)

  • I think you need to be re-educated. There is display of 2k and 4k around 19-22 inches but all of that are either computer monitor like Apple or TV. There is no such TABLET with that kind of display. 8k is 'soon' to arrive, not now, not commercially either. We are talking aboit availability as in 'NOW'. You are making a fool of yourself. 4k display will make the price of tablet that size pretty much unaffordable anyway. You need to think of the costing too. Your ego might want nice 2k or 4k display but what the point if it is price over $2000 and no one buys it. My advice, don't be too greedy.

  • First of all, theres no 1440p monitor at 20-22" currently. and no 4k monitor under 27" other than the display on iMac. But regardless they shouldve put 1440p display on this one

  • Eduacate and evaluate yourself first. First of all there are 2K displays about 19-20" and 4K monitors about 22 - 32" and soon 8K monitors . so more than 200ppi already achieved... By the way... PPI means Pixels per inch, that means pixel amount per arround 2,8 cm2. You see not much difference between 1920*[email protected] and 2560*[email protected] but there is huge difference. QHD version has about 400 more pixels per cm2 than FHD version. Pixel amount of FHD @ 18.4" = 2073600 Pixel amount of QHD @ 18.4" = 4096000 Difference amount of between resolutions = 2022400 2 million pixel is nothing for you... Right.... Lets go f.ck some birds arround huh?

  • Great explanation. I see it now. Make a lot of sense. Thank you.

  • Let me educate you a little. To give you an overview, there is no tablet or monitor that size have more than 200ppi ever existed even if it is QHD display. For example, Dell XPS 10 with 10inches display only have 155ppi. Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 only have 247ppi even when using QHD display. If Note Pro was 18.4inches the ppi would be only 164ppi anyway. So, if Galaxy view even use QHD display with 164ppi, there is not much difference compare to when it is using the 1080p FHD display with 120ppi. All you get with QHD display is more battery drain and more complain from customers. Even with a 4k display, at 18.4inches you get merely 240ppi. If Samsung do use that 4k display, the price will go approximately over $1500 for the giant tablet and no one will buy it. Now you understand?

  • 2 completely different products! you'd think the screen size would make that obvious!!!

  • What is the point to buy a tablet ?? The tablet is a bigger smartphone . What can you do on a tablet and can t on your smartphone ??? nothink . If you want somethink portable powerfull buy a notebook , if you want somethink even more portable buy a smartphone . Android is good for a phone but you can t even compare with a windows made for noteebok , pc you can put 100gb ram and 50core and still nothink

  • Samsung's Logic. Put QHD screen on a 5.1" device. but only 1080p on a freaking 18.4" device.

  • How much this tablet cost? Roughly

  • Ipad pro better 100000000000 time!!Ipad pro have better specs,camera,battery even ram

  • Then why are you even arguing on this product? Go argue on the product you want, whine heroes!

  • what aree thoosseeee?!

  • A tablet with low pixel density... I was waiting for 4K resolution, 240 ppi density and IPS LCD display!

  • Others will follow samsung in making large tab. As usual Samsung show the way.

  • Look at the pictures, only front camera

  • This is a good product to replace laptop and desktop used for only surfing net or watching youtube...only drawback of this product is the ppi is too low to get immersed even for short period

  • Front camera is there. It is 2.1mp camera.

  • waoooo what a flop item

  • What? No front camera? What kind of idea is this?

  • how can you do online chat when there's no front camera!!! Samsung better know what they are doing

  • What are thoooossee?!

  • Yes.?

  • Can I use it as my mobile phone?

  • Secondary camera not found.. So hurt-able thing,

  • Haha.. :)

  • Can I use it as my pc monitor? ;)

  • The screen is not super amoled , what a pity

  • lol wtf is this, I'd buy it for a remote monitor for a pc but thats about it

  • stop hating others creation.to me it looks great and it seem very nice to have one

  • If you expect more I recommend the Samsung Ativ Book 9 Pro. That is a super powerful laptop that beat Surface book and Macbook.

  • It's cool tech gadget for teaching

  • cool device, was expecting way more from samsung though, but none the less cool one for all the mums

  • Wow the screen is SO BIG for a tablet . weight is unbearable heavy 2.65 kg . carry a dumbbell in bag . better to be use at home . let waiting to be seen by sales at singapore . hurrah to samsung bold invention . give it a try my following samsung fans.thanls

  • Since when is memory size proportional to screen size? It has an SD Card slot. It runs Android. What do you need more memory for?

  • it is not portable

  • Just saying, I think they have to increase that battery capacity, but generelly, IT SUCKS

  • It does have camera...read

  • i donot know its 2.65 kg who call this a portable

  • I just wandering, How is much these mobile into the phone. I'm kinda likening the color, and through it for the design will be the best! Congratz for win the good and extra best today. I will buying the phone... Yehey! Being to the most pretty best ang to the best of all....

  • You all getting the wrong idea. This tablet is meant to stay inside the house. It is like a desktop pc. You should never carry it outdoor even if you could. Its a home-tablet. If you want something portable, go buy a laptop or smaller tablet. Easy. No need to pretend like you don't understand and make a scene like an idiot here.

  • Now you tell us, how you r gonna carry this sh*t, smart guy?

  • Why? really? sombody tell me what is the idea behind this?

  • Just look at the weight of the surface ;)

  • dude, tablets r meant 2 be portable. If i want something 4 my desk, i will buy a proper computer which i'm sure is priced way less n more powerful than this 'tablet'

  • Why is the weight so surprising? Note Pro 12.2 is already 750g and Ipad Pro is 723g. Tablet the size of 18.4" should be heavy reasonably for stability and ergonomic since it is using kickstand.

  • 2.65kg?!??!?!?!?!?!? It's almost as heavy as gaming laptops!

  • wow! 18.4 inch with only 32 GB built-in memory! :D i don't know what did Samsung ate on breakfast :D

  • these idiots keep on complaning about the weight of the device, what do you expect on an 18.4 " screen wide tablet

  • It cannot be hold in hand while being used. It have a kick stand at the back that probably unremovable. You will not be carrying it around because it is meant to be used inside the house only. If you want a tablet to carry around Samsung have Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 for that or the Galaxy Tab series.

  • no front cam no video calls ?????????????/

  • 2.65kgs?! Are they making it for sumo wrestlers? I don't think a normal person can comfortably hold that for more than five minutes leave alone carrying it around all day!

  • This weight 2.7 kg wtf Samsung

  • I think you replying to the wrong person. I'm talking about LTE and video call. What R&D are talking about?

  • if you don't like it help Samsung keeping it inside its warehouse for ever, companies must provide customers with what customer wants not with what R&D says

  • It could have mini HDMI or "something like that" port, so it could be doubled as monitor also. Just saying...

  • For office usages. You have to admit, office wifi is not that fast at all compare to LTE. Maybe video call is available but I don't see any Call function in this tablet. I do see Contacts. Weird. Need a full review soon.

  • To give you an overview, there is no tablet or monitor that size have more than 200ppi ever existed even if it is 2k display. For example, Dell XPS 10 with 10inches display only have 155ppi. Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 only have 247ppi even when using 2k display. If Note Pro was 18.4inches the ppi would be only 164ppi anyway. So, if Galaxy view even use 2k display with 164ppi, there is not much difference compare to when it is using the 1080p display with 120ppi. All you get with 2k display is more battery drain and more complain from customers. Even with a 4k display, at 18.4inches you get merely 240ppi. If Samsung do use that 4k display, the price will go approximately over $1500 for the giant tablet and no one will buy it. Now you understand?

  • For everyone talking about the screen density etc... It's primarily designed and meant for Kitchen use. So leaving a fairly huge 18.4 table on a stand in the kitchen means you can stand for a fair distance away from the tablet whilst doing other things, and still see the tablet with high quality (since 1080 at a distance is incredibly clear). Most the other specs are designed around 'mothers' or really anyone that cooks a lot. You don't need a good camera at all, but it's there just in case, etc...

  • I wonder if this is still categorized as a phone, does it have an earpiece? If yes, then I would love to see people carrying this to use for a regular call like an ordinary cellphone.

  • If you guys paying for the design and the kickstand alone please go for lenovo yoga tab 2 10.1 better screen better specs. Lol💪👍💻.

  • Whaaaaaat? Only 120ppi density? Uh oh, sad 😞😔 i thought higher screen specs more than apple 😔😞💭&#128­187;🍎🍏 ipad mini.

  • 1440p on 5 inch phone. 1080p on 18 inch tablet k thanks samsung

  • No stylus makes it a worthless device. I mean whats the point of the huge size if theres no stylus to draw on it

  • Why does this have 4g? Who is going to carry an 18.4 inch tablet around

  • What do you expect? It has 19 inch screen, it's impossible to have more than 250 ppi. Be realistic

  • total idiocy, though I've been a fan of SGS 6 but this tablet with the massive screen and that low resolution, stupid camera, mid-range SoC takes a handful of morons to buy one!

  • So worse specs than the 1.5y old NotePro and TabPro 12.2.... Don't waste your money on this. I'll stick with my NotePro.

  • 120 ppi pixel density???

  • well, you are almost right, but at same time almost wrong. Voltage has nothing to do with duration of battery. MAH does. Simple as that, if they put it 11v battery thats because it wil draw all that power. Its not possible to them put 11v battery when just 5v needed. So MAH its everything to battery time. Since voltage can vary as needed.

  • Boring boring boring...

  • Why its called "Galaxy View" when display is just an average TFT unit?

  • Nobody knows, Perhaps this tablet is all you need, Why not, Great job, Samsung

  • The battery is not just mAh, its a combination of two other features that are most important. In this case it's a 64 Wh, 11.3V battery, this is way different from a regular 5700 mAh battery in a tablet.

  • New Samsung Tablet with 27" Display .... hahahaha

  • low ppi=low battery consumption

  • well ever heard video calling?

  • They have the nerve to name their 120ppi tablet "View."

  • I will buy 32 inch tv instead...This is ppi tablet...

  • lol

  • 120 PPI!!!!!!!!!!! 5700 mAh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • how funny I like it :p

  • that screen with that battery is a joke the specs are hilarious too

  • It has a camera, because who doesn't take pictures with a laptop screen?

  • 120ppi? 2mp with no front cam? damn! i tot it was nice, but im disappointed with the specs

  • a TV TFT capacitive touchscreen with (~120 ppi pixel density) ... magaadd... why these crap of junk exist?

  • I think it's a good move on making tablets that are display-focused, suggesting its use as a media-based device but not a power-based one. I just hope they went to qHD screen and a slightly bigger battery for optimum media consumption.

  • and this comment is based on what exactly? The device hasn't been unveiled and you're already hating

  • 5700 mah only? What were they thinking?

  • Better buy a 40 inch samsung 4k smart curved tv with the same price. lol

  • Galaxy view + external speaker + hardrive = starter pack for movies marathon !

  • The screen needs a bit of improvement, 18.4inch in 1080...
